I wonder if the gems will cost the same amount of honor, in which case we get a lot more for the same time, and the value of the gems will decrease as there are more of them on the market.... or if the cost will be adjusted upwards, so its about the same number of gems per time played, in which case the value of the gems would be about the same.
It ends up being about 2x AVERAGE. Or so. So yes there will be a few more gems. But they will almost nearly all be rubies. Which are the least profitable from an alchemist's perspective on many servers. Example: My server scarlet ruby are 30g, and eternal fire are 20g. So it is 50g to make a ruby. This means that i will be making approximately 100g profit. Compared to a majestic zircon which sells for 150 uncut like the scarlet ruby to a few buyers i have but costs nearly 30g less to create.
