Seriously, this is really a big windfall for the little guys who are going to be doing the event without plat. It actually gives the regular gems some value again. Usually the price of regular gems plummet during an event due to everyone farming for essences to craft energy. It is always a struggle to decide whether or not to liquidate the non energy and non event essences, or to clutter up your inventory and waste crafting slots to craft regular gems when you can be crafting energy and event chests instread. Last event I got to platinum level with two alts mostly without plat, farming and crafting almost all of my energy. At the same time I crafted about twenty of each regular gem. If they hold their inflated value of say just 10k this event, that is 60x 10k or 600k earned during the event just from crafting regular gems as a byproduct of farming for energy... Really a win win situation for the non plat spenders and not so rich in the game!

An interesting decision is going to be whether or not to craft regular gems (blood, fire, glacial) which people will need to craft this eye gem, or to use your essences to craft tarlok gems, which will surely be worth more later on. But during the event, it will be interesting to see what the prices of each are. Considering it takes 30 gems to craft the eye gem, I suspect the regular gems may actually be in higher demand than the tarlok gems during the event, but maybe later on it would be more profitable to have crafted tarlok gems and hold onto them for a few months and then sell.

This is a big choice u have to make. I am just going to hold all of my essences and not craft anything until I have all the ingredients for the new gem. If I never get the rare drop item, then I'll just craft a bunch of Tarlok Gems.
