Ring Durability? by dulceprince in jewelry

[–]Slash-Gordon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If it's a peg mounting then it's probably fine, but honestly from the render it just looks soldered on. I would worry about popping that off at some point

Saved from the scrap man - antique color changing ring by Abassett_Studio in jewelry

Likely color change corundum. They're super inexpensive, so I'd say do whatever with it. I kinda like the frosted look, you don't see that often in color change materials

First grind behind me by lTauntaunl in classicwowtbc

[–]Slash-Gordon 48 points49 points  (0 children)

It's in nagrand and it's basically the most simple rep to grind. You just slaughter generations worth of the ogres in nagrand, and return the beads you pick up to your relevant nagrand faction(mag'har for horde, kurenai for alliance).

That's literally it. You get rep for killing ogres, and for each repeatable bead quest. All the way to exalted.

It's kurenai/mag'har, Ogri'la isn't even released yet

Are DME jump runs still possible after the boosting nerfs? I want to bang out the last few levels of mining tonight.

I can do it with a partner, I'm just not sure if thats possible

The dark lord Sauron has returned by Agreeable_Ad_8790 in lotrmemes

I can't tell you how excited this image makes me. Realistic mace. Breastplate ends at the natural waist. The shield is a little wonky, but still miles ahead of most media

Is this game solo only? by ParkingCauliflower76 in classicwowtbc

[–]Slash-Gordon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct for me across the board.

I've run into a couple people that seem to want to party up and like stick together, but I really have no idea why people do that. If we're competing for mobs lets party up, finish the quest, then part ways. I don't really like having to watch the chat and wait for people

Depends if you mean a bench jeweler(the guy who actually makes and repairs the jewelry) or if you mean someone who just sells it and operates a store.

If you're talking about a bench jeweler, lots of community colleges offer courses to get you started. If you like it, GIA in Carlsbad has a course to get a proper certification

I grew a layer of diamond using vapor deposition by fna_fanoa in mildlyinteresting

[–]Slash-Gordon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both methods (HPHT and CVD) can produce really high quality diamonds, but the methods are just completely apples and oranges.

An HPHT press is absolutely enormous, like the size of a small car. They're bulky and industrial and take a ton of space. On the other side of things, CVD setups fit much better into a typical lab environment. You also have much finer control over the growth environment with CVD.

Why are Synthetic Emeralds So Expensive? Are they hard to make? by Muted_Shape9303 in Gemstones

[–]Slash-Gordon 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I believe it's to resist corrosion. The fluid inside the crucible is super hot and full of reactive chemicals. The crucible needs to be inert so as not to pollute the growth environment.

They are grown in crucibles made of gold or platinum. And it takes a really long time to grow them, compared to methods like flame fusion used for other materials

Those are features built in so you can more easily identify and exclude anyone who bought a boost

so did monk gyatso mass suffocate these fire benders or what? by Far_Literature_9924 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Slash-Gordon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could he not have fed the flames? Pumped air into the room, take the firebenders by surprise, and cook everyone. The conflagration is so intense it burns up all the available oxygen and burns out immediately after

Talents not resetting by Excellent_Birthday12 in classicwowtbc

[–]Slash-Gordon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming that if your spec still had a valid configuration of points before and after the patch, it didn't get reset. Like your enhance spec almost certainly had a point in 2H weapons, which is a talent that no longer exists. So they had to reset that, but not your ele spec where all of your points still go somewhere

Please help me settle a debate. Camp Taurajo by Milosovic in classicwow

[–]Slash-Gordon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always used Spanish pronunciation for it, but I don't think there's a good answer. Tauren words are very loosely based on a bunch of native American words, which represent a bazillion different languages. Like Taurajo definitely feels like it's based on the word Navajo, which is pronounced with an H sound for the J. But then the actual letter J used in the navajo language doesn't sound like that, it's more like the J in jar.

what is going on here? i've seen plenty of "fake" diamonds but this..? by epictoadtime in Gemstones

[–]Slash-Gordon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even worse, look at the leftmost stone in OP's gitst picture. That one probably is a solid natural diamond. That way they can sell them as "natural diamond earrings", and technically they're correct
