We won’t have an AH in RoS, but if we did I think the difference in Topaz prices between HC and SC would lessen, since the highest level gem, a Flawless Royal, yields 280 Mainstat in armor.

That Topaz price is my favorite, since there are just as many Wizards and Witch Doctors in Hardcore, but the priority has to always be staying alive, not just dealing more damage.Americas Hardcore: Amethyst 32k, Emerald 34k, Ruby 45k, Topaz 5k.Europe Softcore: Amethyst 5k, Emerald 32k, Ruby 6k, Topaz 45k.Americas Softcore: Amethyst 15k, Emerald 29k, Ruby 9k, Topaz 30k.There you’ll often see considerable short term swings, as people game the market to create very short term shifts in price.)
