doesnt sound bad. some regular gems, and maybe an arcane gem here and there... as a rare drop ofcourse... one with AFK macro mining could fish up quite alot of gems.

there's this problem. if the gems are not very rare, like you get 1 per vein (1/20 chance), for afk macroing that's alot of gems in 24 hours that can be then sold to a jeweler. basically anything that can be afk macroed should be disabled to sell to NPCs.

Normal gems are just light cash....they can be sold to the NPC jeweler for cash....
Some shards allowed you to make jewelry with magical properties like forging with runic kits for blacksmithy.
Arcane Gems are used in Arcane Clothing, this then uses up charges rather than using regs for magic. but clothes only have so many chagrges and arcane gems are used to recharge the clothing.
The Juka are usually one of the best for arcane gems.
And as for the gem drops.....It was only a suggestion.
Just something I saw on another shard and thought was a nice idea.
