I know there is a lot of crafting out there so I am curious what gems I should be keeping for my self to self roll skillers and what should I keep for trading purposes? Currently I keep them all, and have traded nothing but its starting to stack up. If anyone has a basic overview that would be great. Strictly speaking Flawless and Perfect gems, I have a mule with the other types if I need them.

Here is my current thought process:

Keep Topaz and Diamonds for myself for rolling skillers.
Trade all others - I dont craft the orange items, but maybe I should. Feels like a time sink personally.

Here is what I currently have and the mule is getting tight!
PEmerald - 11
PRuby-17
PDiamond-5
PTopaz-8
PAmethyst-13
PSapphire-17
PSkull-11

Thanks,
Nask

I keep

Amethysts n rubies for crafting or selling packs for crafting.
Keep a few rubies for socketing.
Sapphires i roll with, keep one or two for socketing perhaps.
Emeralds for rolling keep one or two for desperate dex boost or upgrading recipe.
Diamonds for resist boos in shield or so, keep a few, roll with rest.
Skulls, keep one or two for weapon socketing, dual keep, roll rest.
Topaz i keep some for mf switch gear. Like 4 socket gothic plate n 3 socket helmet, or similar.

That's it i guess.
