WOW Jewelcrafting 1 to 300 Guide,BC Jewelcrafting 1-300 Guide
A new profession introduced in the World of Warcraft expanison, The Burning
Crusade, that will grant players the ability to craft rings and trinkets, but
also a skill to search through stacks of ore for precious gems that can be
put into sockets on high-quality end game items for improved effects and stats.
Currently, Blacksmithers and Engineers require the Mining skill for their
profession, Jewelcrafters will join this group of players as they need the
skill to collect their much needed gems.
The gems that can be put into socketed items will have certain characteristics
making them able to be combined in numerous ways to maximize a certain effect
on a specific item, but also to make the socketing process more varied and
enjoyable.
FAQ
Where do I start
Apprentice through Artisan Jewelcrafting may ONLY be trained in Silvermoon
City (Horde) and The Exodar (Alliance). This is of course subject to change,
but at the moment plan on a trip to those cities. Master Jewelcrafting may
be trained at Thrallmar (Horde) and Honor Hold (Alliance) in Hellfire Peninsula.
What do you need for Jewelcrafting
Primarily, ore and gems. There are a few that use alchemy mats, a few that
use enchanting mats, and a few that use assorted mob drops, but nothing in
such quantity that it would merit taking a second profession other than mining.
Where can I use Jewelcrafting
Anywhere, there are no fixed resources required (like a Forge or Moonwell).
Most Jewelcrafting items require a Jeweler¡¯s Kit to produce, this is a trade
item you can buy from nearly any Trade Goods vendor for 8s.
What can I make with Jewelcrafting
As the flavor text specifies, you will learn how to cut precious gems and
craft jewelry. Specifically, Jewelcrafting allows you to make rings, necklaces,
trinkets, a few crowns, and socketable gems. This is a very unique profession
in that it produces two types of gains, new gear for accessory slots and augmentation
of existing gear. It¡¯s a hybrid between a production profession like tailoring
and the service profession of enchanting.
How good are these accessories
The obvious shining point of Jewelcrafting accessories is that accessories
are traditionally rare to characters below level 30, so being able to create
accessories customized for characters leveling up is wonderful. Past level
30, the Jewelcrafting gear is vastly outpaced by dungeon loot. Past 30, Jewelcrafting
items seem to be at roughly a ¡°quest reward¡± level, and as of yet
there are no ¡°ringers¡± that would warrant taking off dungeon loot
for. I imagine this may be addressed at launch via rare designs and just more
designs in general. Endgame Jewelcrafting is not about accessories though,
it¡¯s all about the gems!
Which classes benefit most from Jewelcrafting
Since accessories can be used by anyone, and there are gem cuts to augment
virtually every stat, all classes benefit most from Jewelcrafting. There are
necklaces with high attack power, rings with armor and defense, trinkets with
mana regeneration, socketed gems with crit rating. This really is a unique
profession in that it doesn¡¯t seem biased toward any class or role.
Which professions work well with Jewelcrafting
I would strongly recommend picking up Mining if you plan on Jewelcrafting.
The reason is threefold. First, it¡¯s cheaper. Second, your materials may be
in short supply due to the greater demand and lesser portability of ore versus
bars, and you can¡¯t do much with bars (I imagine the ore market will boost
when the expansion is released, but overall the demand for bars comes from
many sources, the demand for ore is exclusively on Jewelcrafting). Third, by
mining you will find gems naturally on the nodes while mining in ADDITION to
the gems you will get when you Prospect all of that ore, not to mention stones
for statues.
If not mining, I might recommend Enchanting, as nearly everything you can
produce as a Jewelcrafter is of at least Uncommon rarity, and in many cases
isn¡¯t worth selling on the Auction House due to oversaturation. Since very
little of it is Soulbound however, there¡¯s not much difference if you simply
stick Enchanting on an alt.
What should I skill up on
There are two major standbys for leveling Jewelcrafting, Stone Statues and
Trade Goods.
Those practically worthless stones that drop from mining nodes are converted
into Stone Statues for a cheap Renew (10 hp/s for 15s at the Rough level up
to 50 hp/s for 15s at the Dense level) and cheap Jewelcrafting levels.
Trade Goods are mats required for some of your Jewelcrafting recipes that are
made from base metals, very similar to the clothcrafting or engineering schema
in that at the ¡°Copper¡± level you use the ¡°Delicate Copper Wire¡± trade
good in almost everything you do, and it uses 2 Copper Bars. So this is an
item you can make for cheap skill that you will use to gain more skill, and
is one of the only times in Jewelcrafting that Bars will be more important
than Ore.
What should I stockpile now to level Jewelcrafting
Given new recipe information, I would strongly encourage potential jewelcrafters
to stockpile both Copper (at least 200) and Thorium Ore and Thorium-related
gems. This will get you only to 300, at 300 you will need Outland materials
pretty much in exclusivity.
How high can I get with materials from Azeroth
310, this is pretty much the same for all other professions as far as I¡¯ve
seen.
What is Prospecting
Prospecting is a skill that can be trained at level 20 Jewelcrafting from
any Jewelcrafting vendor. It grants the Prospecting ability in your ability
book. In game text:
Prospecting
2 sec cast
Search 5 ore of a base metal for precious gems. This will destroy the ore in
the process.
The function is incredibly similar to Disenchant, it kills the ore but has
a chance at returning materials used in your profession. In this case, gems.
What gems can be found with Prospecting
From all testing so far, you can get any gem that is naturally found on the
node of that ore type (eg Shadowgem from Copper, Citrine from Mithril, Azeorthian
Diamond from Thorium, Flame Spessarite from Fel Iron)
Are there any restrictions to Prospecting
Two actually. First of all, as the description states you can only search
ore of a base metal. This excludes noble metals such as Silver, Gold, Truesilver,
Eternium, and Khorium (any ore with ¡°green¡± rarity), this ALSO excludes ¡°special¡± metals
such as Dark Iron, Lesser Bloodstone, Indurium, et cetera. Second, you must
have Jewelcrafting skill roughly equivalent to the mining skill required to
mine that ore (eg 175 for Mithril, 300 for Fel Iron, 350 for Adamantite)
I have a ton of gems, now what
Below 300 Jewelcrafting skill, gems are only used as part of jewelry creations,
and although you will need a lot of gems to skill up, they don¡¯t really take
value until past 300.
Past 300, the Outland-exclusive gems can be ¡°cut¡± into gems that
can be added to socketable equipment.
Aren¡¯t socketable gems just portable enchants
Gems are ¡°portable¡± in the sense that a Jewelcrafter can cut a
gem and sell it on the Auction House, but they have restrictions too. Gems
can¡¯t be added to gear that does not have pre-existing sockets, enchants can
be.
Can you socket AND enchant an item
Yes, sockets are seperate from enchantments, you can use both on the same
piece of gear. =)
Can you change gems in an item
Yes, works just like enchantments. This means that your old ¡°enchantment¡± (gem)
is lost, but you can put a new one in no problem.
Can I stand in Orgrimmar all day cutting gems for people to make money
EDIT: Yes. So far, ONLY meta gems have a cooldown on gem cutting, this cooldown
is 1 hour and it does NOT affect the cutting of other Uncommon and Rare gems.
How do I cut gems
Gem cutting requires a gem, a recipe for the specific ¡°cut¡± of
gem you¡¯re aiming for, and a Simple Grinder, which is just a trade item found
on nearly any trade goods vendor for 2g50s.
What does specific cut mean
As mentioned in the Jewelcrafting preview, there is more than one way to
cut each type of gem. For example, a Golden Draenite can be cut Brilliant (+6
Intellect), Gleaming (+6 Spell Critical Rating), Thick (+6 Defense Rating),
Rigit (+6 Hit Rating), or Smooth (+6 Critical Strike Rating), and these are
just the ones we know of so far. Every cut requires a different recipe, so
you can imagine already how many potential recipes there are!
Where do I find these recipes
In the alpha, a small selection of gem cutting recipes have been placed on
the Master Jewelcrafters in Thrallmar and Honor Hold. In the release, these
recipes are designed to be world drops. I imagine some of them will be vendor-bought,
but the vast majority of gem cuts will be found in the world. Additionally,
there are some blue gem recipes that have so far been found only in Nagrand.
Blue gems
There are six ¡°uncommon¡± (green rarity) Outland gems: Blood Garnet,
Flame Spessarite, Deep Peridot, Golden Draenite, Shadow Draenite, and Azure
Moonstone. They come with relatively similar and common drop rates from Fel
Iron, Adamantite, and Khorium nodes, as well as Fel Iron and Adamantite prospecting.
In addition to this, there are super rare blue (blue rarity) gems that are
found the same way with an exceedingly lower drop rate, these gems tend to
produce fabulous effects when cut.
What kind of effects
From the limited number of rare recipes I have so far, the stat gain from
rare gems is a very marginal increase over their uncommon equivalents. For
example, the Brilliant Golden Draenite gives +6 Intellect, but the extraordinarily
rare Brilliant Dawnstone, with an even more rare recipe drop, gives +8 Intellect.
Are rare gems really worth it then
Absolutely! For the extra day of stripmining it takes you to find a Dawnstone,
you can have 100 days of playtime with a piece of Tier 7 armor that has 2 more
intellect than everyone else¡¯s. Understand that as a line item, the increase
is not that significant, but when you consider that it is a bonus above and
beyond everything else you have, getting the best gems you can for your gear
will be crucial.
What is the best gem you¡¯ve seen so far
Brutal Earthstorm Diamond
+3 Melee Damage & Chance to Stun Target
Requires at least 5 Red gems and at least 5 Yellow gems and at least 5 Blue
gems
¡± Only fits in a meta gem slot.¡±
What does the 5 Red, Yellow, and Blue gems thing mean
So far, only ¡°Head¡± items have been found to have Meta sockets.
When socketing a meta gem, you will ONLY receive that gem¡¯s effect if the special
condition is met. The special condition is different for each meta gem, and
refers to all of the other gems on your gear. In this case, across the rest
of your gear, you must have at least 5 red gems, 5 yellow gems, and 5 blue
gems.
What qualifies as a red, yellow, and blue gem
A gem that is red, orange, or purple counts as a red gem. A gem that is yellow,
orange or green counts as a yellow gem. A gem that is blue, green or purple
counts as a blue gem. Therefore, for the purposes of checking meta gem requirements,
a purple gem counts as 1 red, 1 blue. This will be very important to meet the
high requirement on Brutal Earthstorm Diamond.
