Price of Quality Gems?

Ice shot as in Ice Spear?

I think he means Ice Shot, the Bow Skill. A quality of 18% is very good, but since almost every bow-user wants Lightning Arrow, it's maybe a bit hard to sell at the moment. Nonetheless I wouldn't sell below 4 GCP.
For comparison, I sold a +14% Lightning Arrow for 5 GCP.

ah....didnt think about that. And yeah, the same rule still applies. Its not really a popular skill, so no one wants it. Give it time, and you might find someone who is willing to do a build using that.

I was refuring to this gem.

I sold an 18% Ice Pulse for 2 Exalts im thinking i should have tried for 3 or even 4 now... but for the record thats what i got for it.

For the record here's the prices of gems in CB and OB with qual both and what sells and what doesn't.

Sellers, remember that trying to sell a 10% or less qual gem (unless it happens to be the bigger movers and shakers like GMP, Ele Proliferation, or Chain) for anything more than 1-2 chaos orbs is a joke.

Most quality gems need at least 14%+ to be worth selling for gcp rates.

a 14-15% is worth anywhere between 3-4 gcp.

Try tacking on about 2 chaos - 1 gcp per % after that.

anything from 18-20% should be worth at the bare minimum 8 gcp to 2 exalted by the current OB pricing depending on the gems.

Back in CB it was 5% quality = 1 gcp per 5% and so on until 15% where it stopped at 3.

20% would be sold for 6-8 gcp depending on the gem.

This only worked in theory though as most vended their low quality gems for gcp using the vendor recipe.
