Jewelcrafting
Overview
Jewelcrafting is a primary crafting profession, new in The Burning Crusade. It lets you cut gems to place in the sockets of your gear, and craft rings, necklaces and trinkets.
It pairs naturally with Mining, which provides the metal and the ore. Draenei have the Gemcutting ability, which increases Jewelcrafting skill by 5.
What this profession is for
- Cut gems to place in the sockets of your gear.
- Craft rings, necklaces and trinkets.
- Prospect ore: 5 ores yield gems.
Learning the profession
Jewelcrafting is learned from a jewelcrafting trainer. Each rank raises the profession's maximum skill and requires a minimum skill:
- Apprentice: up to 75 skill.
- Journeyman: up to 150, from 50 skill.
- Expert: up to 225, from 125 skill.
- Artisan: up to 300, from 200 skill.
- Master: up to 375.
Remember to visit your trainer as you approach your rank's limit: beyond it, your skill no longer increases.
In The Burning Crusade, the jewelcrafting trainers in The Exodar and Silvermoon City teach the Apprentice to Artisan ranks, from 1 to 300. The Master rank, from 300 to 375, is learned in Outland, from the master trainers shown in brackets.
