Besides, I don’t think you really need to go all out epic gems for your current progression level. It’s not really worth it.

Seems like the same dilemma I had back here with Sunfire.

Same cost 100g per +1 damage.

Retirement fund is looking good.

I can supply a short-list of suitable donation candidates too. Just drop me a line.

But then, cash is easy yo come by

err.. that’s why I am leaving it up to you folk I guess… I’m not fussed… probably wont go further than ZA… assumign I ever get out of Kara… so whatever…

You will be in better gear after a few levels of Northrend anyway. Use that gold to grind up your professions I say.

Oddly like real life..hmm. Have fun with it. If you don’t feel the need to regem, don’t. Unless you’re raiding or pvping very seriously expensive min/maxing isn’t really necessary.

With the amount of inflation that will surely happen with WotLK, you can bet your 3600 gold will be worth a pittance in a few months.

Spend it while it has value unless you have specific plans (buying mats to powerlevel inscription, trying to snipe top wotlk patterns when they show up on the AH for even bigger profits, etc)

While being decked out in 2.4 gear and epic gems will make Karazhan raiding easier, it’s completely unnecessary. On the other hand, getting decked out and appropriately geared makes you appear more viable to other raids if you’re looking to join into higher end content or are already in those raids.

It’s all a matter of context.

I think that you’re in Karazhan-range raiding, if I remember correctly. And while I think that self-improvement is awesome, if you’re not planning on going past that point prior to the next expansion than you might not want to spend all of that gold. Instead, I would snag the badge gear as you’ve decided since you’d probably end up using that for a couple of levels and horde the gold.

If you’re looking to go beyond that in raiding, then investing in the gems will benefit you more.
