Well, wait for the end of the month when your rep may have increased!

Where do I start gaining Consortium rep? I want free gems.

"Where do I start gaining Consortium rep? I want free gems."

There are multiple quest hubs in Netherstorm (one with a flight path) for Consortium and running Mana-Tombs gives rep, but the best place to start is in Nagrand where the gem bag distributor is. Consortium has an outpost in SWish Nag, on the road that runs E/W to the Alliance fp on the east end. There you will get two collection quests that are good to friendly. Won't take any time at all to hit that rep.

After friendly, on the first of every month a gem bag is available. Quality of the contents varies with rep but at exalted can easily be three blue quality and a bunch of greens. The bag can be taken any time before the next month's, so you could grind from neutral to exalted and go straight to the big haul on your first bag, if you've plenty of free time.

At higher rep (and level) there are repeatable tasks in Nethstorm & Blade's Edge which involve killing mobs which often drop randomized blues similar to rare mob drops.

Thank you so much for this column. It reminded me to get my gems on my two 70's last month, and it saved me again this month.

Keep it up.

Flame Spessarite, Azure Moonstone, and a Noble Topaz, if I remember correctly. I was honored.

I love going there the first of the month and seeing all the people coming by to pick up their gems =) It'd probably be a nice place to hawk cuts...hmmmm...I think I might try that next month...

They've been pretty stingy with me recently, although I shouldn't really complain if I got a star of elune and a living ruby (widely considered to be the most valuable gems) this month.

I am exalted, and it wasn't too hard to do - I just prot grinded (AoE Paladin) the ethereals in netherstorm for their insignias.
