The following gems can be transmuted by an Alchemist without a cooldown. The link is to a blue post confirming what Alchemists on the PTR are experiencing. I have xmuted dozens in a row and the lack of CD is not a bug. So, expect the epic gems to come more into a reasonable line as far as prices go after a few weeks of the patch.

(6/30/09) Build 10048: The 20 hour CD has been placed on epic xmutes and significant changes have been made to the materials required. The information below has been updated as of the stated build.

(8/6/08) Live Patch 3.2.0: Changed the Eye of Zul requirements to reflect the state which the patch was taken live.

Transmutable gems in 3.2.0 and the required materials:


  1. Cardinal Ruby: 1 Scarlet Ruby and 1 Eternal Fire instead of 3 Eye of Zul

  2. Majestic Zircon: 1 Sky Sapphire and 1 Eternal Air instead of 3 Sky Sapphire

  3. King's Amber: 1 Autumn's Glow and 1 Eternal Life instead of 1 Majestic Zircon and 2 Eternal Life

  4. Dreadstone: 1 Twilight Opal and 1 Eternal Shadow instead of 3 Twilight Opal

  5. Eye of Zul:3 Forest Emerald

  6. Ametrine: 1 Monarch Topaz and 1 Eternal Shadow instead of 1 Majestic Zircon and 2 Eternal Shadow

As of patch 4.0.1, the cooldown for epic gem transmutes resets at midnight, server time, regardless of when you perform the spell. This effectively makes the CD a static 24 hours, but allows you to perform it anytime during your day.

Anyone else notice the typo in the description?
It says "a Autumn's Glow" where it should say "an Autumn's glow".

Also, this one only says "into King's Amber" instead of "into a King's Amber", as it would if it followed the pattern of the others. This is obviously intended, though.

Actually, its quite usefull still if you wanna 70 twink. The honor vendor dont sell anymore, emblem of heroism vendor do though, so only ways we can still get this is titanium ore prospect, this and justice points. (220 justice points, so 3 boss kills per gem if you got +10% increased trough guild perks)

I just got my druid's alch to 450 and after seeing this bug petitioned a GM. My ticket was escalated and within 48 hours I had a GM whisper me asking me to hop onto another toon while they fixed the issue for me. It took about two minutes and then when I logged back on I had the transmutes in my recipe list. Didn't even have to pay to learn them. If you need screen shots, I'll post them, but it's too annoying to post them otherwise. I'll be reposting this on the other epic gem transmutes.

The JC vendor sells these for honor points in 5.3 still. They are still very useful, especially if you have a JC to cut them, considering lev 70 pvp gear has 5 yellow sockets. Not only that, but they could be socketed with a red cardinal ruby cut. I had a total of 20x 20 agil gems on my lv69 rogue. That is +400 agility! I am currently fooling around with a dk, just got my full (almost) pvp set and I am currently gemming and enchanting. Mind you, this set may only out do the BoAs for a level or 2, but I have a ton of JP to blow from my 90s. :o)

just a quick note. +20 resil = aprox 0.5%. Just a rough calculation, based on my current resil / resil % from gear. (actually 20.64 = 0.5% at level 70) but what the heck, eh? Sorry if it isn't exact and only an approximation, but it will give a general idea at least of what you can expect. Edit.. I just finished socketing my gems. With full lv70 pvp gear (less the boots.[item=34807]) I ended up with 49.12 resil. 40% plus 9.12% from gear and gems.

I know NOTHING about alchemy so will this be available for purchase for alchemists, or is it a drop? I ask because, as an engineer, this is the ONLY thing I don't have for Jeeves so I'm trying to be as prepared as possible (ie, find an alchemist and have him/her make this for me ASAP).

TIA
