Notes

Not to be confused with a Inv misc gem 02 [Pristine Black Diamond] which is also acquired as a drop. It is also used for quests, but despite the name, generally has a much lower value.

Black Diamonds are generally considered to be part of the Classic (pre-Burning Crusade) endgame, and thus less valuable with the Burning Crusade expansion. With the addition of Wrath of the Lich King, they can now by cut into Prismatic Black Diamonds, producing a random cut uncommon TBC gem.

Many classic crafted items using Black Diamonds are inferior to Uncommon or better items available in Outland, and thus available even to players without the expansion (via the Auction House). The Inv helmet 10 [Darkrune Helm] may in theory be useful to people who do not play the expansion, yet are interested in the classic endgame, but could be replaced by a "of Shadow Protection" helm, or possibly any uncommon helm with +Stamina, from Outland, as well as certain classic boss drops like Inv helmet 10 [Grand Crusader's Helm], Judgement Crown or Inv helmet 71 [Helm of Wrath].

The Librams could be useful as low level enchants before other Augments become available, but a player heading to Outland at level 58 may find the price too high.

Inv jewelcrafting truesilvercrab [Figurine - Black Diamond Crab] is a useful tank trinket, added with the expansion since it is a Jewelcrafted item. It is bind on pickup, limiting the use of Diamonds even in the expansion.

Prior to Patch 2.2, Enchant Cloak - Subtlety required Black Diamonds.
