Because of the different stat values, as discussed in our stats page, the value of each gem varies, depending on the stats they provide.

The Yellow Gems are usually the most valuable, allowing for pure Haste gemming. Fit one Nightmare Tear into the most valuable Blue Gem slot in your gear and Stark Ametrines into Red Gem slots with socket bonuses you can hit without using extra blue gems. Socket color bonuses are usually worth pursuing, but it depends on the specific stat given for the bonus and whether Blue Gems are needed to unlock it.

Phase 3 introduced epic gems from prospecting Titanium Ore. You can also transmute them with Alchemy or buy them with emblems.

Relentless Earthsiege Diamond is the best Meta Gem for Enhancement Shamans, increasing your damage substantially and making your frequent Critical Strikes deal even more damage!

The Stark Ametrine is the main gem that you should be putting into Red Sockets on your gear, with Precise Cardinal Ruby or Accurate Ametrine also being fine options if you are lacking in the Hit / Expertise departments.

One Nightmare Tear is the best Blue Gem, but if you want to fill in more Blue Sockets you should go with Balanced Dreadstone, Vivid Eye of Zul, or Guardian's Dreadstone.

Quick King's Amber is the best non-Hit / Expertise Yellow Gem, but you can also use extra Stark Ametrine for added AoE damage potential or Accurate Ametrine, Rigid King's Amber, or Pristine Ametrine for hitting your caps.

While we will be listing only the best consumable options below, there are a lot of slightly less powerful options that can be used to save gold if the proposed consumables are too expensive in your server.

Flask of Endless Rage is the recommended flask for Enhancement, and is a good option during progress on hard bosses because it does not get removed on death. If all you are concerned with is area damage, Flask of the Frost Wyrm will typically provide more.

Elixir of Lightning Speed or Spellpower Elixir (area damage) are the best Battle Elixirs. Elixir of Mighty Thoughts is the best Guardian elixir.

Fish Feast, Poached Northern Sculpin, or Mega Mammoth Meal are the best foods available.

Potion of Speed is the best DPS potion, although you can also use Runic Mana Potion instead if you have Mana issues. While only one potion can be used per fight, if you use your potion just before pulling, it will start its cooldown and you will be able to use another during the fight.
