WoW The War Within is packed with optional content and rewards to grind for, and you can get a handful of cosmetic rewards by trading in Earth-Encrusted Gems. If you’re wondering how to get Earth-Encrusted Gems or where to spend them, you’re in the right place.
How to get Earth-Encrusted Gems in WoW The War Within
In The War Within, Earth-Encrusted Gems are rewards for progressing Renown (reputation) with the expansion’s four major factions. You get a total of 10 Earth-Encrusted Gems across all four reward tracks at the following Renown levels.
When you reach the designated levels, the Renown quartermasters will give you a quest (which you can complete immediately) to get an Earth-Encrusted Gem.
Faction | Zone | Vendor | Coordinates | Quest (via Wowhead) | Renown levels |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Council of Dornogal | Isle of Dorn | Auditor Balwurz | 32, 24 | A Shining Stone | 4, 8, and 10 |
Assembly of the Deeps | Ringing Deeps | Waxmonger Squick | 47, 33 | Earth-Encrusted Gem | 4, 15, and 20 |
Hallowfall Arathi | Hallowfall | Aurelia Steelstrike | 41, 53 | Precious Stones | 4 and 20 |
The Severed Threads | Azj-Kahet | Y’Tekhi | 55, 41 | Unsevered Threads | 9 and 20 |
I also found Waxmonger Quizik, a Keeper of Renown for the Assembly of the Deeps faction, next to Auditor Balwurz in Dornogal—near the coordinates 39, 24. Since I’d reached Renown level four with his faction, he also gave me an instantly completable quest that awarded an Earth-Encrusted Gem.
How to use Earth-Encrusted Gems in WoW The War Within
In The War Within, you can spend Earth-Encrusted Gems at Osidion, the Ensemble Quartermaster in Dornogal at 57, 61, to buy cosmetic gear for transmog.
Each Ensemble costs one Earth-Encrusted Gem, giving you all the items in the set. The Ensembles look fairly basic, but there are seven unique sets to choose from, with four or five recolors each.
