  • drop/price info on Blue Diamonds?

    I am slowing working my way to Blessed Mithril Armor. In the meantime, I am collecting the needed components. I'm foraging morning dew in the Faydarks with my Ranger, and buying inexpensive swirling mist and essence of moonlight as I find them. Blue diamonds are going to be the limiting factor however.

    Does anyone have drop information on blue diamonds?

    For those Smiths who purchase their blue diamonds, what is a decent price to buy for these gems? Currently, I'm seeing prices between 500 and 1000 pp on the Zeb server.

    Thank you for your time.

    BD prices are very server sensitive. They also drop much more frequently than in the past in the new PoP zones. You don't mention your level, but if you are 55+ you may be able to loot some if you are in a PoP group.

    That said, I can buy as many BDs as I need lately for around 500pp each on E'ci.

      Drop on BD's (just to name a few zones):

      Seb
      PoG
      Hate, Fear, Sky
      PoP Planes
      Othmir Faction Quest
      Allizewsaur

      Price(s) on Povar is about the same as yours.

          No shortage of BDs at 262.5pp each on vendors on Stormhammer either. Picked up 4 for amusement's sake, since I decided I may want to make a GM seal someday. Also found 4 jacinths, 4 black sapphires and 4 diamonds and left a bunch of all the previous gems on vendors.

            Wow, I felt extremely lucky to find 2 BD's on a merch once. On Vazaelle, BD's still sell for 800-1k. The first couple weeks that PoP was out, prices dipped to 600-800, but the prices have now gone back up.

              Which ones?

              On which vendors are you finding the BD's?

                  Found 8 on a vendor just two days back. Somewhere in PoK.

                  I have a cycle I run checking vendors all over PoP, gets me lots of BDs, and a whole lot of other goodies for all the tradeskills that I store on my mules until I need (cept the baking stuff, which goes to my wife).

                    On Tunare the "market" is around 500-700pp per BD, but there's usually a few for 370-400pp, and if you're patient you can get them for 350pp.

                    I've picked up about 5BDs off npc vendors, total, since PoP went live. Nice discount, but far too few for what I need.

                      Blue Diamond

                      On povar they are all but Vendor fodder now. They are heavily camped and turning up in the bazaar but the dozens, the price got pushed down to just above the limit an NPC vendor would buy them at.
                      Still a costly component but not really a hold up one as it once was by any means.

                        On Terris Thule these are generally running an average 5-600pp, easy to find people selling at 350-450 though, I just wait to find a good price. My fav spot to farm them so far has been Plane of Nightmare off the werewolf looking things, straight left facing wall over river and down a ways is where to find it fyi, as a cleric you can prolly get a group in PoN...and belive me its hella exp at pre-55. However on TT at least this camp's generally one that druids like to quad (/yawn) also drops raw diamonds and midnight stones.

                          Prices on my server vary, but 350-550 is a good range. I bought 8 of them for 250pp each once.

                              On the rathe they're going for about 700-1kpp which I refuse to pay. Instead, my hubsband and I (65shammy, 55monk) can camp guard in seb for a night and get about 8-10 BD's.
