Excellent point! Thanks for sharing because I hadn’t realized how “overpriced” those gems are in the end.
Yes, I know that the Quest Pass provides more than Gems but what I really need right now are more Gems, Tier II and Tier III Relics (aka Greater and Major Relics), Shards (every level except for Superior with the exception of Superior Weapon Shards), Ore, and Marks.
And while the Quest Pass does provide some of those (if you are wiling to pay for the Premium Quest Pass), the amount of those items is pretty paltry for the cost.
Know what I don’t need? Random Rare Gear. I need Legendary Gear or Mythic Gear.
And I don’t need Lesser Relics. I’m very well stocked on that end.
I definitely don’t need Food or Gold. Ugh.
I am good on Runes and Scrolls too.
