Gemming and Item Level?
I'm hoping someone here can help me. I've been leveling my little prot warrior (level 73, reduced Northrend XP FTW!), and I've taken up Mining and Engineering as professions (and I'm loving it!).
I've skilled up enough to make and wear Armored Titanium Goggles.
The iLevel on these is 200. The goggles have two gem slots - 1 yellow, and 1 meta.
I'm new to this whole gemming thing (I have severe altitis and my highest toon is 77). I considered going with a green gem in the yellow slot (and they were relatively cheap at 5-8g each), but I can't find any that meet the iLevel. All the gems I can find on the AH need a higher iLevel item. The meta gem requires that I have more than one of a normal-colored gem (this I can understand, I need another gemmed piece of equipment, so be it, I'll have to wait for that one).
So, does anyone have any suggestions? Are there any green/yellow/orange gems that I can use in these goggles? I'm thinking there must be, because otherwise, why throw gem slots in there in the first place? What yellow-socket gems can be socketed in an iLevel 200 item, that would be useful to a prot warrior?
Thanks for any help!
