Gems
Whenever I get a new piece of gear with sockets, the first thing I always wonder about is what gems I’m going to put into it. I never can remember what stats go with what color, so I wrote up this handy little guide to be able to see at a glance what stats are available with which color gems.

I power up wowwiki when I’m in need of gems or enchantments. Their page for gems is laid out great and the enchants are broken down by slot, and show the mats needed. But I have a laptop next to the desktop I play on, so alt-tabbing back and forth isn’t a problem.
/BIG OL SMOOCH /HUGS I have been looking for something like this! Received my first piece of armor with all these holes in it waiting to be fixed up (for gems).
Now, I have an understanding. And ty Jamie for the idea on using WowWiki. Never crossed my mind.
