I'm at a point where I'm running out of things I want that cost elder gems.
 
I have absolutely no ambitions regarding raiding or competitive PvP, so I only need enough amps and ability points for the solo and small-team PvE content... and I feel that I got enough of those just by hitting 50.  So I'm not very motivated to spend them on amps and ability points.  I'm not going to meet the prereqs for the purchased gear, and to my eyes they don't really look much better than crafted gear anyway.
 
What I can use is gold.
 
If there were a slider that would let me set my weekly elder gem cap down to zero (so I got gold instead, right from the start), I'd probably do that.  But there isn't, not that I've discovered.
 
So.  What's the best way to monetize elder gems?  Has anyone spent any time figuring it out?

Well, from looking on Jabbithole, there's gear that you can vendor. But don't you have to have killed a boss in a dungeon first to get that or something.
 
Then there is the intriguing Datascape Window that only costs 5 EGs, and vendors for 2g5c. It says you must complete AI Personae first, and I have no clue what that is.

			I'll buy them off you.

			Did you get the EG Gathering Tool?  It makes harvesting, and therefore making money, slightly faster.  I just finally got it last night, it cut down my harvesting loop (85 neighbors) by 20 minutes.
