Is there a better way to go about collecting enough gemstones for the deliveries(Emeralds, Diamonds, etc) than cleaning out the guilds of rocks every day and farming mountains of -ites?

I'm no stranger to the grind, just making sure I'm being efficient.

Some ites are really abundant in places with almost fixed weather. I know woh gates is semi garanteed ice weather, while rakaznar is semi garanteed dark.

Is it delivery from escutcheon (diamond earring x40)?

Either check if bots place to sell stacks of ites, or farm shivites in woh gates. Thats what i did.

The next step i choose sapphire ring but thats because somehow There was 3 stacks of leviatites In AH (maybe common on foret zones? I didnt farm those).

Just put the shield while crafting the gem to also gain shield points. And if doing gates, save the cards for last step.

Appreciate it, looks like farming card dropping mobs in the right gates zone is the way to go.

Lol its justified to go to assura just for the jadagnas i will give you that.

If youre just starting goldsmithing shield, you need to always check every day for jadagnas in AH.

Plus, dont forget to do the steps to raise leathercraft GP so you can get this done without going crazy and without dropping too much your skills
