Not necessarily in a bad way, but holy cow! Just shortly after


I received the Prowler's Profit perk. I now have hundreds of Flawless Diamonds, Emeralds, Rubies, Sapphires, etc. But I have nothing to do with them! I was trying to make jewelry as quickly as possible, but even that can't keep up with the rate I gain new gems. I can't even sell the gems I have but to very few merchants.

So what should I do with all of my precious, rare gemstones? Decorate with them? Leave Hansel and Gretel trails everywhere?

You could leave them beside beggars, if your character's feeling generous. Otherwise they're great for decorating, or amassing a pile in your living room and watching it grow

There is a way to use them in the Dragonborn expansion

Save them, you can have a lot of money if you need to sell them.
