JewelCrafting and Socketed items

I'm only guessing here, but I think the gem that was in the slot before it gets destroyed. That at least sounds in keeping with the WoW way of doing it.

Yeah, that's what the Blizz section on it says currently. You can add new gems to an already occupied slot if you like, but it'll irreparably break the gem currently in place.

Also, I think someone possibly got the wrong end of the stick a bit with the combining of gems. AFAIK you can't actually combine a red and a yellow gem to create an orange one (for example), but the slots for gems in a weapon will be colour coded, and you get bonuses if you have all the slots filled by gems of the same colour as the slots. An orange gem (for example) will count as being 'the right colour' in both a yellow slot and a red slot.

Booooh! I dont want sockets! I`ll use my eye-sockets and plug them with 2 times "Rune of RUNE" if you dont know what RUNE is, then Ask Ragnarh.
 
I bet that a "Rune of RUNE" would be worth a million gold! Just ask Ragnarh.
 
My rogue would blow up once two "runes of RUNE" was inserted in her eyesockets, Thus exploding a big damned crater covering the outlands, making room for a GIGANTIC UN GORO CRATER EXPANSION!!!!
 
Omg, what a powerful Rogue I would be.
 
RUNE OF RUNE 4TW!
