Upon completing the Gem Hunt quest, we were given only an EXP reward, even though gold is mentioned when accepting the quest.
Also, we only found a single small diamond during the entire quest.

FiveFeet Also, we only found a single small diamond during the entire quest.Indeed, on my last attempt at this quest, about a week ago, we found only a couple of small diamonds. The fire agates definitely don't pay off if they're meant to be an alternative source of payment.
There's another thread about this quest, so this one is unnecessary.
