The traditional fire, glacial, and blood gems are rather outdated when compared to the tarlok gems.

In stats, you get +6 in super traditional gems vs +8 from super tarlok gems at L41.

Now, I have a tarlok gemmed arcane ring but I still think it's rather ridiculous to have to spend 5m gemming + platinum cost.

Yes, it's time we get a new gem.. The Tarlok's ones are finite and will run out.

If it won't be implemented now, then maybe later?

I suggest they wait until the Tarlok gems run out, or else they will become worthless. Don't mess with the market.

I have one of each Tarlok gem so in 20 years they'll be worth 10b a piece:D

Haha, fine fine, I'll back off!

I'm not asking for the same gem as a tarlok, but perhaps a different variety that makes us choose. Right now, the tarlok gem is blatantly better than the normal gem variety, so if you want the best, there's not really a choice.

However, there should be. I think by having a choice of a different type of gem, it would still keep the tarlok gem value but also give people an alternative if they're not willing to pay the high cost of a tarlok gem.

I'm not suggesting we should wait until they are worth millions and super rare, but how about we wait until the vast supply of them is exhausted. Last check there were still dozens of them for sale in the auction. Until we reach a point when that number becomes fewer than a dozen, then I don't see the need to release new gems. If you are trying to make money by gemming up your gear and then selling it, then use regular gems if tarlok are too expensive and not worth the premium. People will still pay a nice premium for regular grand gems.

No no no, that's not the case at all, trust me. I'm perfectly content with where I'm at and haven't really made any efforts on selling the ring besides creating a forums thread, although I denied a 110M offer despite 15m profit.

I'm more worried that they'll run out for L41 mythics!

Don't worry, it won't run out, only becoming much much more expensive :)

New gem ideas.... Weapons could get elemental bonuses, Fire/Shadow/or Ice Damage, maybe even 'Life Steal' (my personal fav). Armor/Jewelery gems could get, Damage bonus(rogue), Hit Rating(warrior), Armor Rating (Magi). All could be swapped and tested in all builds. Maybe better ideas for armor gemming? But my weapon idea is solid!

Tarlok are outdated. We need something new to gem. OP what would you like to see for stats thst differentiate new gems from tarlok?

100 essence for a gem that +5 (normal) and 10 (super) stats? It may make farming essences viable and profitable again :)

I see nothing wrong with inputing new types of gems...maybe gems that even add a particular visual effect to armors and weapons.

The combinations we're missing would be a good start. Gems at 60k is just silly when their counterparts are below 6.

That doesn't mean that Tarlok's gems will come next year, neccessarily.

Nope, Sam said they won't be coming back anytime soon so don't expect them next Christmas. Or the Christmas after that.

Damage Gems will only work if they change the way Damage is calculated.

Hmm...perhaps:

• A gem that gives the same +8 as tarlok but spreads it 50/50? So, it would be: +4 primary +4 secondary
• A gem that adds critical value
• A gem that adds defense value

If you get any ideas, let me know!

New gems with this stats.

normal - 2 str + 2int + 2 dex
Grand - 3 Str +3 int +3 dex

That sounds fantastic! That plus proc gems would be so good!

A 'leach' gem would be downright rad. Having different gems like dodge, crit, or leach would be pretty amazing and allow for more individual customization of a character.

new gems for critical / damage reduction / dodge gems can be...

for the numbers i think fire-blood-glaci gems can be normal +4 , grand +8 on lvl 41 items...

The lack of new gems is really pretty surprising. Theres no way its that difficult. I dont think the tarlok gems should have a thing to do with any decisions to put in any new gems, we made them that expensive, by being willing to pay that amount.

JaytB

How about they just increase the stats of what current gems add? Like +7 or so for lv40+ items. It already scales up with the lvl of the item so it wouldn't be hard to implement. That way the normal gems are at least still a decent option compared to gems that can't even be obtained anymore.

I was honestly surprised when we got the new cap and saw that we still just got +6 stats with normal gems... Just like last cap.

How bout rendtail gem like rentails rage gem, rentails wind gem,rentails wisdom gem could have same boost as tatloc gems.since most players killed tarloc in the winter event time for new gems have a nice day.
