Jewelcrafting in The Burning Crusade

This is a new profession introduced with the The Burning Crusade expansion. The profession allows players to create rare jewels for socketing into gear, sift ore, and extract precious stones. It is one of the most profitable professions in the expansion, as only jewelcrafters can cut and create gems that grant various stats when socketed into equipment.

Horde:

• Kalinda in Silvermoon City

• Aleinia in Eversong Woods

Alliance:

• Farah in The Exodar

You can learn Jewelcrafting on the Hellfire Peninsula.

• Kalen in Thrallmar (for Horde)

• Tatiana in Honor Hold (for Alliance)

If you already have Jewelcrafting at level 300, you can skip this section and proceed directly to leveling 300–375.

• 110x Copper Bar
• 15x Tiger's Eye or 15x Malachite
• 120x Bronze Bar
• 20x Shadowgem
• 40x Shadowgem

As an alternative, you can use 25x Small Shining Pearl or 40x Silver Bar. Choose the cheapest resources or use a mix if you have a little of each.

Before leveling, make sure to purchase a Jeweler's Kit from a Jewelcrafting Supplies vendor. They are always located near the profession trainer.

Always learn new recipes from your trainer as you level up! If you don’t see a recipe listed in this guide, visit your trainer to learn it.

Further leveling will require you to either farm or buy special gem-crafting recipes from the auction house. We recommend buying them from the auction house, as obtaining the right recipe can be a lengthy process. Try to pick the cheapest recipe among these gems:

• Living Ruby;
• Nightseye;
• Noble Topaz;
• Star of Elune;
• Talasite;
• Crimson Spinel.

The recipe name includes the gem name, so just type the gem’s name in the auction house to find the recipe.

Once you’ve got the recipe, craft 10 gems.

Continue crafting gems using the recipe you’ve learned.

Keep crafting gems.

The recipe will turn green, so you’ll need to craft more than 10 gems to gain 5 skill levels.
