What to do with Earth-Encrusted Gems in WoW: The War Within

The Earth-Encrusted Gem in WoW: The War Within is a reward you can get from each of the Faction Reputation tracks, but despite telling you who is interested in them it’s not immediately obvious where to trade them in. To help with that, here’s a guide on how to get (and what to do with) Earth-Encrusted Gems in WoW: The War Within.

How to obtain Earth-Encrusted Gems in WoW: The War Within.

As stated before, these gems are a reward from gaining reputation with the various major factions in the latest expansion. Some of these are available at fairly low levels you will reach simply be levelling, but you won’t be able to receive these rewards until reaching level 80 onat least one character. Once you hit max level you can head to the Reputation vendor to receive your prizes. You can find a list of each Faction in WoW: The War Within and what level they reward Earth-Encrusted Gems below:

• Council of Dornogal – Renown levels 4, 8, and 20.
• The Assembly of the Deeps – Renown levels 4, 15, and 20.
• Hallowfall Arathi – Renown levels 5 and 20.
• The Severed Threads -Renown levels 9 and 20.

What to do with Earth-Encrusted Gems in WoW: The War Within.

The description for the Earth-Encrusted Gem tells you that it can be used to purchase cosmetic sets for Transmog from Osidion in Dornogal. Annoyingly, it doesn’t actually say where Osidion is, other than in the Forgegrounds. He’s actually located in a little pavilion on the raised eastern side, behind a counter.

Osidion trades the gems for a variety of civilian-themed cosmetic sets you can use for transmogs, each with a variety of colors. There are 6 different outfits available in a variety of recolors for a total of 30, with few more recolors available for certain achievements like Loremaster of Khaz Algar and Algari Master of Many. While you can only earn 10 Earth-Encrusted Gems from factions inWoW: The War Within, you will be able to purchase the remaining 20 for 9750 Radiant Crystals each.

You can find the location of Osidion, as well as an example of each of the sets he sells, via the gallery below:
