Rare Jewel

Hey everyone,

Wanted to double check before throwing this into the Junk Jewels for sale pile (SCNL):

+18% ED
+10 AR
1-26 Lightning Dmg
+7 Dex
+1 Light Radius

ed roll 40 max
dex is nice but really wants to combine with strength
lightning damage is nothing as well as light radius. what you have is a 18 ED 7dex jewel. and it hold no value you were correct in your judgement to toss. for the FUTURE, the only jewels worth keeping 15IAS/40ED, 15IAS/25ED, 20ED, 15MaxD, 20 Max D, 30 Max damage. When it comes to jewels people like perfect rolls and focus on big enhanced damage combined with IAS or ED rolls, maybe a all resist roll on certain builds. People do not f around with jewels and usually if it isn't perfect they will not be interested at all and the jewel is considered self use. Cheers.

AFAIK for rare jewels you need at least 3 high rolls of good mods to have some value. Otherwise you can just use a magic one with even higher possible rolls. For rare jewels good mods are:

prefix
30% ed
-15% req
60 ar
8 min dmg
9 max dmg
30% cold/fire/lightning/psn res
10% all res

suffix
7% fhr
9 str
9 dex
10 min dmg
9 max dmg

I have probably forgotten something and for pvp there are different perfect rolls depending on the lvl req, but hopefully this helps. Also there's a bug with %ed and min/max dmg on the same jewel (see post3267256.html#p3267256).

for the FUTURE, the only jewels worth keeping 15IAS/40ED, 15IAS/25ED, 20ED, 15MaxD, 20 Max D, 30 Max damage.

This is simply not true. There are many other valuable affixes on magic jewels. Life, single res, all res, attack rating, min dmg, dex, str, etc. For example:
15all res/9 dex = 8 Jah
100 ar /15 max dmg = 22-25 Jah
20life / 20mana = 4 Jah
15all res / 7fhr = 1 Jah

This is only partially correct. The ED/IAS affix pair is certainly the most notorious, but not the end-all-be-all of jewels. While a significant subset of players won't bother with anything other than perfect jewels, there is still a large market for jewels that arent perfect. These can still be worth researching and selling. For example:
38ed/15IAS = 4 Jah
15ias/28 fire res = 2 Jah
15all res / 9 min dmg = 2 Jah

As Atari mentioned earlier there are also many pvp jewels which can be valuable depending on their level req. For example:
Max level req of 3
-15 req / 15 light res = 1 Jah
20 poison dmg / 15 poison res = 1 Jah
4 min dmg / 10ed = 1 Jah

Max lvl req of 18
15 max dmg / 20 ed = 14-15 Jah
13 max dmg / 15 AR = 1 Jah
-15req / 8 all res = Ohm

Max lvl req of 30
24 max dmg = 6-8 Jah
5 str / 15 all res = Ber
9 dex / 30 light res = Jah

These PVP examples are just a small set of valuable jewels.

great information. appreciate the in depth knowledge break down. can you analyze these jewels i have stashed?

ed roll 40 max

40ed is max for magic jewel. For rares, 30ed is the max.

Jewel #1: Lo (AR rolled very low)
Jewel #2: Nothing (affixes rolled low except for the res, which is least desirable res)
Jewel #3: Ber
Jewel #4: Nothing (even though its a perfect roll ed for that level, you only have one affix. For magic PVP jewels you need two affxes to be worth more than an Ist.)
Jewel #5: Vex- Lo
Jewel #6: Lo- Jah (These don't sell frequently so I'd take anything over Vex - might take a while)
Jewel #7: Not really sure, maybe Ist.
