I wonder if anyone has noticed this before but sometimes in the mining guild...I see gems on the ground...mostly sapphires and emeralds...just lying right there.

 

 

 

My question is who would be that careless to throw these away?

 

I'm sure it doesn't just spawn there..

 

Maybe some miner using bots that auto throw non ore stuff.... :lol:

 

 

 

Even other miners dont notice them which makes me think if they are really paying attention.

 

 

 

Any ideas.

well some people dont need them and thow them away in the intrest of extra coal....

Well most people can't be bothered to waste that inventory space with a gem when they could get an ore for it, especially in Mining Guild seeing that Coal and Mithril is more valuable than cut or uncut Saphs and Emeralds.

Cause we mining coal wouldn't you rather have an extra coal than some stupid gem?

gems can be turned into rings and necklaces that can cost over 5k.

 

 

 

coal alone can worth only 200 gp....

 

 

 

i dont keep saphires though. :P

especially when that stupid gem can be cut put in an ammy enchanted and sold for 1k+

 

 

 

gosh stupid gem won't fool me :shame:

Yes, but in the time that they make that they could have mined so many more coals or mithril ores and if you don't have a gold bar in your bank you need to go down to the Mines to get one and sometimes the gold there can be annoying to get.

Well............. Considering a cut emeral is worth 500-600gp and a cut saphire 200-300gp ya they are worthless than coal alright.

 

 

 

O ya the price raise was because of crossbow's being way stronger!

besides you don't have to "waste time" thats what the bank is for, do it later when you level crafting... you know crafting, the one where you make leather armor and other stuff... anyone... :wall:

 

 

 

edit: gold easy to get, I heart crafting guild

If people want gems they go to shilo

 

 

 

If they want coal the go to the guild :boohoo:

I usually just drop sapphires, I already got plenty of them, and I really don't even need them.

 

 

 

...much.

Auto's drop gems, and most people regard them as trash for some reason..Weird :-k

all i know is just cutting a gem you find is well worth the experience, I bet most of the free gem cutters really do want to cut the gems. Thats why I trade cut gems for uncut gems :anxious: :-$

Alot of the time its powerminers who chuck away their worthless gems and ores when their mining just for xp. Oh and those who know what their mining is worth more than how much the gem is worth. :wink:

another persons junk is another's treasure

 

 

 

i pick up any gems i see, i also collect sapphires (have over 5k of them)

Well, considering that any gem, uncut or cut, is worth more than a lump of coal, what their doing is stupid really. I generally pick up all gems I see. Thanks to that I have a nifty cut gem collection, almost 1k sapphires soon.

I sometimes superheat addy or mith ores in the mining guild. I start with 6 free invent spots, mine 6 coal, superheat an addy ore and mine coal again. I have no space for the gems. :)

I keep them when im mining and banking. Only time I drop them is when I'm mining and superheating. I fill up my inventory with metal ores before heading out and only leave enough space in my inventory for the number of coal required to make the metal bars (e.g. 6 slots for addy ore). Simply no room for gems then ;)

Because come people don't like crafting. :evil:

 

I always pick up and get free gems though, so I'm happy! :thumbsup:

I drop gems when im in the guild because i want coal, not gems. Although i keep diamonds and rubies.

I drop my gems too. If I need them I can get them easily in the rogues den by safe cracking for a few minutes. Due to the easy availability of gems generally, I prefer to keep my inv space for ores. Sapphires dont have that much intrinsic worth to me so I dont bother keeping them (dont use for crafting or fletching, rather have the bankspace for something else).

 

When combat training, I often bring a chisel, cut them and then drop them again as I would rather have the space for those valuable herbs (I now drop harralanders and below too).

I bring a chisel with me to the guild and cut and bank every gem I find. One sapphire at a time might not be much, but they add up quickly.

This isn't only the mining guild, everywhere people are getting rid of their sapphires and emeralds. Especially in training grounds, where you don't have any inventory space to waste for them.

I keep em and make bolt tips 8-)

I always get gems of the floor saph->diamond. It's good crafting exp cos i'm f2p
