Are pruby worth more than other non-pame perf gems? Am I selling myself short by including lots of prubys in a mass pgem trade?

Can be used to make Runewords:

Yes

Something like:
1

Perfect Amethyst = 2

Perfect Ruby /

Perfect Skull = 4 other

Perfect Gems

Perfect Amethyst because of

Caster Amulet (

Recipe: Caster Amulet)

Perfect Ruby because of

Blood Gloves (

Recipe: Blood Gloves) /

Blood Ring (

Recipe: Blood Ring)

Perfect Skull because of

Recipe: Low Quality Rare Item of Same Type (mainly ro re-roll

Diadem. Because of quality level and magic level,

Diadem may roll with any affix even with ilvl 1)

However sometimes the demand for

Perfect Ruby and

Perfect Skull go down and is hard to find someone to pay more for them...
When this happen I generally keep them to trade other time...

Thanks for the explanation! So if someone offers to pay in pgems, we should not be surprised if they're all Dia/Top/Em/Sap?

Yep.

When they include the other 3, at least with me, is generally someone that is starting trading and is not aware of the different values.

When happens with me I tell the other player about it and we recalculate the value

One last thing, while many users follow this ratio, it is not a rule...

Maybe the user don't want to re-trade gems and is only interested in

Recipe: Random Magic Item of Same Type, or is not interested on Blood items, etc...

If the user do not specify on the Trade or in his signature, it is better to ask him how

Perfect Amethyst,

Perfect Ruby,

Perfect Skull will be handled on the trade, and if he won't consider one (or any) of them more valuable, you may just keep them with you and use other gems (or trade them 1 for 1 anyway if you really need the trade and don't have other gems ...

)

Wait, so do people actually exchange pgems for pams?

Or if someone is asking for 40 pgems I could offer 10 pams? I'm guessing someone looking for bulk pgems just wants to reroll so probably not that one. But I'm surprised at these exchanges - I don't often see people looking to trade gem for gem.
