 (GENERAL NOTE TO PATREONS: I AM RELEASING A MAJOR EXPLOIT TOMORROW, THIS MAY NOT LAST LONG BEFORE A FIX, PLEASE KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR A NEW ARTICLE ON THE 24TH)

Patreon Arektor sent me the following detailed guide on epic Burning Crusade gems that retain their full power in timewalking. This is a very useful guide I have used myself. Timewalking with these gems is a very fast way to level 110-120:

Hey! As I haven't seen any post about it, I figured I could tell you about some epic BC gems that seem unaffected by scaling. 

 Currently, gem scaling follows a specific pattern for levels 90 and below: a single stat will be +6, while 2 stats will be +3/+3. However, a few epic BC gems that drop from heroic dungeons will NOT be affected by scaling whatsoever, leading to +5 primary stat & +4 secondary stat increases (or +5 primary & +6 stamina for a few).

 Here I have an item ID list of gems unaffected by scaling:


Intelligence: 

- Stamina: 30555 (drop in The Black Morass), 30552 (Sethekk Halls), 30583 (Mana-Tombs) 

- Critical Strike: 30564 (The Mechanar) 

- Versatility: 30573 (The Botanica, +5/+5!), 30589 (Old Hillsbrad Foothills), 30600 (The Blood Furnace) 


 Agility: 

- Armor: 30591 (Old Hillsbrad Foothills) 

- Critical Strike: 30582 (The Arcatraz) 

- Dodge: 30585 (Mana-Tombs, actually +4 Agility +5 Dodge) 


 Strength:

- Armor: 30604 (The Slave Pens) 

- Dodge: 30587 (Auchenai Crypts) 

- Critical Strike: 30584 (Mana-Tombs), 30559 (Shadow Labyrinth) 

- Stamina: 30546 (The Shattered Halls) 

 You can check all these gems on wowhead, they will not have the slidebar to scale them down, unlike other gems. 

I might have missed a few, but that should cover most. 

Honorable mention to Steady Talasite (33782), which used to give 4 resilience and 6 stamina, but got changed recently to 4 armor 6 stamina (had a bunch of these during korrak's vengeance on eu/kirin-tor/Virel, was great :D)  These gems can be used during timewalking dungeons for extra stats.   Thanks for the great content, keep it up! :) 

(Arektor added this final comment later: "forgot to add item 30553 as agility + critical strike (dropping in Sethekk Halls")
