This'd be the monthly reward from the Consortium for helping their cause.
It usually contains a handful of green gems, though you can be lucky enough to get a blue or two.
You will have to visit them in Nagrand every month to get the bag, as opposed to what it was believed to be like: They would send you the bag in the mail.
Don't bother asking how to get it. You can't really miss it.
Mine contained a Living Ruby and Noble Topaz as well as some other green gems.
Since it requires exalted Consortium I would expect it to always have at least one blue gem.
Anyone got up to three blues or an epic gem?
Did it again after it was fixed, still honoured.
Got a , and 2 green gems.
Was hoping for something more... epic?
I have done this at Honored, Revered, and Exalted. At both honored and revered status I received nothing but a few green quality gems (although I have heard of people getting lucky with blues).
Two months now with the exalted bag and I have received at least 3 blue quality gems each month along with 2 green quality gems. For instance, this month was a Star of Elune and 2 Nightseye gems.
It seems the bag at Exalted is guaranteed rare gems each month from my own experience and that of others I know with the reputation.
Definitely don't regret the time spent farming Consortium rep now, to be sure.
Extremely random loot. Have gotten anywhere from 3 to 1 single blue gem. Only thing guaranteed are the green gems it seems. Not worth grinding consortium rep (if you arent a JC) just to get these "membership benefits".
(1 - 0.1227) = 0.8773 = 87.83% chance per month of getting 1 rare gem.
I've heard that since 2.4 there's a chance of recieving an epic gem from the exalted bag. Can anyone confirm/deny? And if so, what's the %?
I can confirm that this claim is denied. There was nothing about it in the patch notes.
Would be very nice if epic gems were possible at exalted, but so far me or anyone i know who is exalted has ever got an epic gem.
Interestingly from being a fairly worthless monthly quest at the beginning of Wrath it is worth picking up your monthly reward if you are in the area. Jewelcrafting is becoming the most popular profession as a money maker and the green gems sell very well for a good price as people need them to level.
Sept. 1, Patch 5.0, just tried to get my gems from Gehze and received......nothing? Has this little perk been deleted?
