If I recall correctly you can enchant socketed items. I've been looking for the link to post, but
I can't seem to find it now that it could do some good

Thanks, I was hoping enchantments also worked.  Between jewels and enchantments, these new items can get quite a buff.

Yeah, I knew about replacing gems destroying the original gems.  No worries though.  These are low 60s blue items.  I won't be putting the expensive rare or epic gems into these armor pieces. The 'green' gems seem to be selling for around 3G each, a very reasonable price, IMO.

If an item has two sockets, that's it right?  There's no way to add a third socket?

Well, only metas can go in meta slots. They also only work if you have the required gems in the gear you have equipped. So lets say there is a meta gem that requires a yellow and a red gem. If you don't have a yellow and red gem or some combination (for instance, an orange gem = yellow and red so you'd only need one orange) then the meta won't work, you can stick it in the slot though. Meta gems are hard to use as it requires you plan your gem usage out very precisely.

I made the run to Netherstorm last night.  Avoiding all the 68-70 mobs as a level 64 on a non-epic mount was interesting.  I only died once.  My armor is now fully outfitted with appropriate gems from the etheral gem vendor, Senzik.  I grabbed all the flight points along the way so I won't have to do that again.

So nobody has chimed in as having a low 310s jewelcrafter?  I was hoping to use some of the mob dropped jewels as cut to make them even better.  The vendor jewels are certainly nice but the cut jewels, even the cheaper 'green' jewels are better still.

Are meta gems mob drops only?  I haven't found those for sale yet.

They aren't that bad.
