Mistweaver Monk Gemming

Welcome to the Mistweaver Monk Gemming page! Gemming is the process of placing a crafted gem with stats attached to it into available sockets on gear or items to improve your character stats or “attributes”. Gems are crafted from recipes by Jewelcrafters using materials and items. On this page we’ll show you what gems you should use and where to put them to get the most out of your healing. This is a guide only and gems are quite dependent on what stats you already have on your character.

We suggest first enchanting your Mistweaver Monk by following the details on the Mistweaver Monk Enchanting page first.  To obtain these gems you basically have two options: you can purchase pre-crafted gems from the Auction House or another player who is a Jewelcrafter, or you yourself can become a Jewelcrafter, crafting your own gems as you see fit and also possibly making some gold selling your crafted gems to other players. For more info on professions go to the Mistweaver Monk Professions page.

You can place gems in sockets by opening your character screen, Shift + Right Clicking on the item with sockets, opening your bags, Left Clicking the gem and placing the gem in the socket and pressing “Apply”.

Sockets are broken up into 4 different colours: Red, Yellow, Blue and Meta. Gems come in 7 different colours: Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Purple, Orange and the Meta. Any coloured gem can go into any colour socket(except the meta), but to get the bonus of a socket(and extra stats), you must place an acceptable gem into that socket. 

Each Gem colour holds a few different stats dependent on the type and come in different quality type(epic, rare, uncommon-perfect and uncommon). The epic and rare gems important to Healers and are available in each colour include:

Which gem you want to use will depend on what stats you currently have already, the socket colour and the socket bonus. It’s all about finding a balance of stats using Gemming and Enchanting. We suggest you visit the Mistweaver Monk Enchanting page and enchant your gear first as enchanting gives you the least amount of options.

Considering our stat priority:

Intellect >  Multistrike > Crit > Spirit > Versatility > Haste > Mastery
