At first I thought that these monocles would be a gold mine, but the mats to make them on the AH cost more than the going AH price of the monocles them selves.

Chogall server prices today
Jeweler's Sapphire Monocle:
Volatile Water: 17g x 50 = 850g
Ocean Sapphire: 58g x 3 = 174g
Elementium Bar: 16g x2 = 32g
Total: 1056g
Cheapest on AH at this time: NA (because nobody will buy them for more that the material cost)

BUT, what does it do? Why would it be worth more than a gold?

I SAY!

Screw vanity items that costs an arm and a leg.

I want what was smoking the blizzard crew when they said Ok to 'this'....

Contrary to my first thoughts; these Monocles are NOT different colors. They all look the same.

Комментарий от 703778

Why would I spend 50 volatile water to make a vanity item with no unique properties (there are much cheaper versions that look the same) when I could use that volatile water to make almost TWO dreamcloths on my tailor?

Maybe some day, when volatiles are cheap as dirt, this item will be fun. Until then, it is just a big waste of materials.

On my server, I am able to craft these for 180g, and have sold them for 2k each. I have added these to my regular crafting rotation, one at a time, because 1000% profit is very nice.

This item appears to have been changed in the patch to finally give it a blue colour (as well as the Ruby and Amber versions - Emerald has been replaced by Amber)

BTW: What kind of cr*p is this... None random enchant, none nothing... just vanity cr*p who uses a lot of materials just for nothing. Forewarned are the jewelers....

We create these for the same reason we kill the whale shark... because we can.. and we often enjoy it... it is one of if not the only BoE blue useable by a lvl 1 bank alt... it is an obvious gold sink... in fact my bank mage has one of every color... although the red one is what she has equipped with her embersilk dress...

Комментарий от 706669

Until that point, even for a bank alt, people will opt for a cheaper alternative (Like the High Society Top Hat) and these will be passed over and forgotten.

Except of course that the crafted top hat isn't actually in game yet and we're already two major patches through Cataclysm. What's to say that when it actually gets implemented that it won't be cost prohibitive to create? That is of course if it ever actually gets implemented at all.

These monocles are vanity items. There's nothing forcing you to create any of them. There's other material sinks in the game too like Черное платье из угольного шелка (only 8 volatile fires but it also needs a chaos orb) and Подлинные очки мл. инженера (only two hessonites) that are only meant for dress-up in town. Well, the engineering goggles are also used to purchase Искрящееся зубчатое колесо but I'm trying to make a point!

Oh and the true cheaper alternative to any of the jewelcrafting monocles is the Монокль аристократа. You can get that by doing the Shattrath fishing daily for a few months and hoping that the PRNG loves you.

Can these be used for transmog?

Комментарий от 835245

This is not transmog-able.

Комментарий от 1017531

Honestly, what is even the point of a rare quality item like this, one that isn't restricted by armor type, that you CAN'T transmog? I was really hoping to use this to complement my warrior's current look, only to find out that I can't tmog this onto my helmet. Really disappointed with this, Blizzard.

There are four (Ultra) rare recipes in Cataclysm that teaches Jewelcrafters how to make awesome headgear. They are highly sought for vanity reasons and are very likely to fetch a nice price in the Auction House:

I compiled several other information that I could gather from all of the comments in the itens and recipes' pages:

They can't be transmogged as of Patch 7.0.3.

Original Commenter: Saevenar (Patch 7.0.1):
"This item -does not- work with the new transmog system as of 7.0.3" - at Рубиновый монокль ювелира page.

They are a rare World Drop from Cata and MoP (and can drop from almost any creature).
They can only drop for Jewelcrafters ***
The Drop Rate is ~0,01% and is a bit higher on Cata creatures.

Original Commenter: illostos (Patch 5.0.5):
"I spoke with a GM a few minutes ago and he told me this:
- This pattern is a worlddrop and can drop from every mob in Cata and MoP.
- The Chance in Cata is a bit higher than in MOP, maybe because it was implemented in Patch 4.3.
- The Chance is aprox. 0,01% and can only drop for Jewelcrafters.
- It can drop realy from every monster" - at Эскиз: солнцезащитные очки со стразами page.

*** There is a solitary comment claming a recipe drop in a non-Jewelcrafter char:

Original Commenter: vitreous (Patch 5.3.0)
"Yup, it dropped for my non-JC hunter in Uldum a couple of months back" - at Эскиз: сапфировый монокль ювелира page.

All those itens are throwbacks to the old Розовые очки.

It used to cost some thousands gold when it was added in TBC. Its price got reduced to coppers shortly before it was removed, some time in Wotlk.

While they can't be transmogged, there are no level restrictions nor any status gains.

They can - and most likely will only - be used to pimp your AH lvl1 alts with the coolest gear.

Комментарий от unlucky13

Just an update from a more recent expansion.

This is still not T-moggable.. which is obviously really disappointing.

Комментарий от KillerMoyashi13

This item is now transmoggable! It's listed as "cosmetic" so you can use it for all armor classes!
