Talk:Diamond

Should this article state that Diamonds are used in crafting Vabbian Armour, so far this is unconfirmed and every other set bar the mesmer has been confirmed as Rubies and Sapphires only.

Trader Value
If there's no use for Diamonds in-game (yet), why is the rare mats trader paying almost 3 plat for each one? They're nearly as valuable as rubies and sapphires at the trader. I thought the trader went by player supply/demand, and I'm not seeing where the demand would be coming from. Unless there are speculators who think they're buying low and hoping that armor or some other thing that uses diamonds is introduced later? — HarshLanguage 02:43, 24 January 2007 (CST)
 * Speculation, exactly. You should have seen the price of Rubies and Sapphires pre-NF. Entropy 03:45, 24 January 2007 (CST)
 * There's just no supply, just like there isn't demand. Nobody's getting more (why should they, it pays less and is useless) and there's no demand (for the exact same reason). The system is in a balance of a place where the price doesn't matter, it just got frozen like that.

I just salvaged a diamond from an Iridescent Aegis that I found in the treasure chest in Nightfallen Jahai, so it leads me to believe that at least the Nightfall versions of the Iridescent Aegis can be salvaged into diamonds (maybe the ones found in Cantha can be too).
