Description

The Cardinal Ruby is said to be the finest gem in all of Northrend. It sparkles like a crystal rose under the sun.

Before I teach you this recipe, I ask that you perform five epic gem transmutes to prepare your mind. You can do any you like, and even do the same transmute many times.

Return to me when you are truly ready.

Just begun this Quest a moment ago. It would appear that this quest is for 5 individual transmutes. As the first gem that I tried proc'd and gave me 4 King's Ambers, but the Quest tracker only logs your single transmute, attempt. (should have said that I'm a Transmute Master).

I did assume that you had to return with proof of your Transmutes but when I sold all of the Ambers at auction I still have credit.

Sorry if the above does not make much sense it's late and I've had little sleep. :)

Right I can confirm that you do not need to keep the gems that you make. They are not needed to be turned in to Linzy. So feel free to JC'm or stick them on the AH.

I know I could have made the cheapest transmute 5 times or the most valuable transmute 5 times, but I decided to make one of each to better serve the guild. This way I was fair to all the guildmates.

Here are the transmutes you have available for the quest:
Transmute: Majestic Zircon
Transmute: Eye of Zul
Transmute: Ametrine
Transmute: Dreadstone
Transmute: King's Amber

Here are the total materials for 1 of each transmute:
1xSky Sapphire
3xForest Emerald
1xMonarch Topaz
1xTwilight Opal
1xAutumn's Glow
1xEternal Air
2xEternal Shadow
1xEternal Life
