Sell Ore or Prospect and sell gems?

[Ahlander]

I know this is a very noob question and I've tried doing the math but its not consistent enough for me to do so. That being said, what Im wondering is simple. Is it better to sell all the ore (Ghost Iron) that I've mined straight up or prospect it all and then sell the gems that I prospect from it? Or is it even better to take it a step further and craft actual gems with those. Any help is grealy appreciated as I'm a complete noob getting back into the scheme of things.

Thanks

Do one week sell gems, and one week ore you will see what gives you more Gold

The price would varry too much Dokta Jotta,
the math is quite simple:
Prospect ores, look up the gem price (raw) is it worth more or less than the cuts? more? sell them raw, if they're worth more cut = simply cut them and sell the gems.

i ussualy always make a profit on ghost iron ore, by prospecting it..
it's down to 25-35g a stack on my realm, and raw gems sells for an easy 60g ea..
i'm using my own lvl 25 guild, so i get the chance to proc. multiple gems in 1 prospect.. and i ussualy get atleast 2 rare gems in 20 ores = 120g vs 25-35g.
and that's just doing it fast, if i want to cut them and sell them.. i could earn 100g pr. gem
then i'd use golden lotus (if they're 30g ea) and use the green gems to transmute them into rare gems..
