I wanted to get a general consensus on something regarding what Jewel crafter's provide when making things.
The specific item in question is:
Dragon's Eye
It is used in some Northrend recipes such as this (where 4 are required) Titanium spellshock Ring
On our server the eyes cost an average of 230g each in the AH. If you have patience you can find them for as low as 199 gold by checking it often.
Do you consider it fair if a person wanting this ring or anything else using the eyes, sends all the mats except the dragon's eyes and expects the JC'er to provide them free of cost. For the main reason given as "Its only four dailies you have to do, and that is too expensive for me to buy"
I think its obvious which side I am on with my wording. I don't want to add any extra circumstances to this to confuse it, as there aren't really any. Right now its just that simple. Should the JC'er as a rule provide the Dragon's eyes with no compensation for them.
The JC'er is not getting paid or tipped for their time.
I hope that was clear. Maybe I'm wrong in thinking that there should be some compensation, or at least the gems provided since they are so readily available. Always trying to get different views here.
Thank you guys so much for anyone who gives input on this.
I am not the JC'er or a JC'er at all. But I'm concerned about something I'm seeing with a friend and the ugly debate that ensued.
Also, if there should be some compensation is there a standard price you charge for the "its just four dailies" part. (those dailies create one token which can then be used to buy the dragon's eye or saved to buy the jc patterns. The only other way I'm aware to get them is through the damaged necklace quest which is hit or miss on getting those randomly to drop... though I definitely could be wrong! so lead me in the right direction)
(i'm still working on the tooltip thing be patient)
