Do you have badges? More badges than you know what to do with? Then do I have the deal for you.

Step 1) You spend 15 badges to buy a gem from the vendor on the Isle.
Step 2) You give that gem to me.
Step 3) Profit!

I'll pay 400g per gem. Let me know if you're interested and I'll let you know what gems I need.

I read the title as mining badgers for money. I think that would be a much cooler post.

Badger, badger, badger, badger....

Badger, badger, badger, badger....

*shakes tiny fist*

Damn you Fren... damn you you annoying song hell! Now I'll be singing that all day. :p

I missed that song thank you!!

None of this is getting me any gems! Tarnation.

Sorry man. There are still upgrades I need to use my badges for. It will probably be 4-6 weeks before I'll have badges to spare.

Yea I am shocked the gems aren't BOP.

I think I like 15 badges more than gold at least for now.

Sorry but my calculations show that I'll be needing several hundred badges for gear before I can think about buying gems.

I only need 323! I'm so close!

Bwahahaha... almost spit out my lunch.

By the way, if you have some hot gear that you're not going to replace anytime soon (i.e., stuff that can't be matched until SSC or later), the price of these gems on the AH is going down.

Last week, people were selling raw gems for 600 - 700g a piece. Today they are hovering between 400 - 500g.

Still expensive, obviously. But if you want some epic gems & you don't have the 15 badges to spare, you have an option.
