Jewelcrafting Leveling Guide 1 - 600

Approximate Materials Required for 1-600

IMPORTANT! Do not buy all of these materials at once! Jewelcrafting is really expensive to level, and on most servers the Auction House is screwed up because of the insanely high prices of low level Gems, Ores and Bars. I usually have a few tips, and alternative recipes, so you can save some gold.

• 100 Copper Bar
• 20 Tigerseye or 20 Malachite
• 120 Bronze Bar = 60 Copper Bar, 60 Tin Bar
• 60 Shadowgem OR 20 Shadowgem and 20 Small Lustrous Pearl
• 80 Heavy Stone
• 30 Moss Agate or 60 Lesser Moonstone (combination of both can work too)
• 140 Mithril Bar
• 80 Solid Stone
• 25 Citrine
• 15 Truesilver Bar
• 5 Aquamarine
• 50 Thorium Bar
• 10 Star Ruby
• 20 Large Opal
• 7 Azerothian Diamond
• 3 Blue Sapphire
• 3 Essence of Undeath
• 20 Huge Emerald

Burning Crusade

• 40 Adamantite Powder (prospect 200 Adamantite Ore)
• Buy 55 from any of the following gems (Or buy 40 gems and 15 Black Diamond): [Blood Garnet], [Flame Spessarite], [Deep Peridot], [Azure Moonstone], [Shadow Draenite], [Golden Draenite].

  Don't buy all of them from one kind because there might be some recipes which you don't have the reputation for, so you will have to choose other green gems. Just buy them when you get to that part of the Jewelcrafting guide.

• 10 Primal Earth
• 10 Adamantite Bar

Wrath of the Lich King

• Buy around 70 from any of the following gems: [Bloodstone], [Chalcedony], [Dark Jade], [Huge Citrine], [Shadow Crystal], [Sun Crystal].

  Save 5-8 [Bloodstone], [Chalcedony], [Huge Citrine] or [Sun Crystal]l for when you reach 395.

• 10 Crystallized Earth
• 46 Eternal Earth OR 23 Eternal Earth and 23 Eternal Shadow
• 5 Forest Emerald
• 5 Titanium Bar
• 5 Dream Shard

Cataclysm

• Buy 45 from any of the following gems: [Carnelian], [Alicite], [Jasper], [Zephyrite].

  I did not include [Hessonite] and [Nightstone] in the list because you will use them later on.

• 16 [Hessonite]
• 50 [Nightstone]

Pandaria

• Buy 60 from any of the following uncommon gems: [Tiger Opal], [Roguestone], [Alexandrite], [Lapis Lazuli], [Pandarian Garnet], [Sunstone] (you should have at least 5 from each)
• Buy 9 from any of the following rare gems: [River's Heart], [Sun's Radiance], [Vermilion Onyx], [Wild Jade] , [Imperial Amethyst], [Primordial Ruby].

  You will have to buy 9 from the same color.

First, visit a trainer - just ask a guard, and learn Apprentice Jewelcrafting.

• 1-30
  30 x [Delicate Copper Wire] - 60 Copper Bar

  Save these, you will need them later.

• 30-50

  20 x [Tigerseye Band] - 20 Tigerseye, 20 Delicate Copper Wire

  You can make 20 x [Malachite Pendant] too.

Learn Jewelcrafting Journeyman.

• 50-80

  50 x [Bronze Setting] - 100 Bronze Bar

  Save these, you will need them later.

• 80-100

  20 x [Simple Pearl Ring] - 20 Small Lustrous Pearl, 20 Bronze Setting, 40 Copper Bar

  or

  20 x [Gloom Band] - 20 Bronze Setting, 40 Shadowgem, 40 Delicate Copper Wire

  Make [Ring of Silver Might] if Silver Bar is cheap on your server.

• 100-110
  10 x [Ring of Twilight Shadows] - 20 Shadowgem, 20 Bronze Bar

  You can also continue to make [Ring of Silver Might]

• 110-120
  10 x [Heavy Stone Statue] - 80 Heavy Stone

  If Heavy Stone is cheap (usually it's not) make this one up to 130 if you want to.

• 120-150
  30 x [Pendant of the Agate Shield] - 30 Moss Agate, 30 Bronze Settings

  If you prospect your own Ores, usually you will get a lot of [Lesser Moonstone] too, but even if you don't prospect the Ores, sometimes 2 Lesser Moonstone is cheaper than one Moss Agate. So get the recipe [Design: Amulet of the Moon] and use up all your Lesser Moonstone. This recipe turns yellow at 140, you might need to make more than 30 of these.

  The design is sold by these NPCs.

Learn Jewelcrafting Expert.

• 150-180
  45 x [Mithril Filigree] - 90 Mithril Bar

  Save these, you will need 45 of them later.

• 180-185
  8 x [Solid Stone Statue] - 80 Solid Stone

• 185-200
  15 x [Engraved Truesilver Ring] - 15 Truesilver Bar, 30 Mithril Filigree

Learn Jewelcrafting Artisan.

• 200-220
  If Citrine is expensive, you can continue to make [Engraved Truesilver Ring] up to around 210 or maybe more. But you will also need a bit more Mithril Filigree then.

  The recipe will go yellow at 210, so you might need to get more Citrine if you are unlucky. If you are lucky you will only need 20.

  25 x [Citrine Ring of Rapid Healing] - 25 Citrine, 50 Mithril Bar

• 220-225
  5 x [Aquamarine Pendant of the Warrior] - 5 Aquamarine, 15 Mithril Filigree

• 225-250
  50 x [Thorium Setting] - 50 Thorium Bar

  Stop making these at 250 and only make more if you need it, but you will need around 50.

• 250-260
  10 x [Ruby Pendant of Fire] - 10 Star Ruby, 10 Thorium Setting

• 260-280
  If Large Opal is expensive on your realm, like it cost twice as much as one Star Ruby, then you should continue to make [Ruby Pendant of Fire] up to 275. Or if you Prospected your own Ores, you will have a lot of Star Ruby and Azerothian Diamond left, use all of them.

  20 x [Simple Opal Ring] - 20 Large Opal, 20 Thorium Setting

  If you reach 265 and you have a lot of Azerothian Diamond or if it's cheap, you can start to craft [Diamond Focus Ring]. Keep in mind that you will need 7 Azerothian Diamond for the next step.

• 280-287
  7 x [Diamond Focus Ring] - 7 Azerothian Diamond, 7 Thorium Setting

• 287-290
  3 x [Sapphire Pendant of Winter Night] - 3 Blue Sapphire, 3 Essence of Undeath, 3 Thorium Setting

  If you don't have Essence of Undeath you can just make [Glowing Thorium Band] up to 290.

• 290-300
  Make a few [Glowing Thorium Band] if you have some Azerothian Diamonds left.

  10 x [Emerald Lion Ring] - 20 Huge Emerald, 10 Thorium Setting

Visit your trainer and learn Jewelcrafting Master.

• 300-320
  When you learn these recipes below, they will be already yellow. I suggest you to cut around 30 from any of the following gems.

  [Bold Blood Garnet], [Sparkling Azure Moonstone], [Jagged Deep Peridot], [Inscribed Flame Spessarite], [Timeless Shadow Draenite]

  A good alternative to 300-315 is this pattern:

  15 x [Prismatic Black Diamond] - 15 Black Diamond

• 320-325
  Make 5-7 from any of the following gems.

  [Bold Blood Garnet]
  [Jagged Deep Peridot]
  [Reckless Flame Spessarite] - Requires friendly The Consortium reputation. Sold by these vendors.
  [Sparkling Azure Moonstone]
  [Glinting Shadow Draenite]

  Or you can make 5 x [Golden Draenite Ring] - 5 Fel Iron Bar, 10 Golden Draenite

• 325-335
  10 x [Mercurial Adamantite] - 40 Adamantite Powder (prospect 200 Adamantite Ore), 10 Primal Earth

  Save these, you will need them later.

  Make a few from any of the following gems if you didn't reach 335.

  [Regal Deep Peridot] - Sold by Logistics Officer Ulrike (Alliance), and Quartermaster Urgronn (Horde). Requires friendly Honor Hold reputation.
  [Glinting Shadow Draenite]
  [Rigid Azure Moonstone]

  Or you can make a few [Golden Draenite Ring] if you only have [Golden Draenite].

• 335-340
  Make 5-7 from any of the following gems.

  [Potent Flame Spessarite] - Recipe sold by Nakodu. Requires friendly Lower City reputation.
  [Glinting Shadow Draenite]
  [Rigid Azure Moonstone]

• 340 - 350
  You can continue to make the gems above if you didn't reach 350 by making the rings below, or make 1-2 more rings.

  10 x [Heavy Adamantite Ring] - 10 Adamantite Bar, 10 Mercurial Adamantite

Visit your trainer and learn Jewelcrafting Grand Master.

• 350 - 395
  Buy around 55 from any of the following gems. At 375, these recipes will turn to yellow so you might need to buy more gems.

  [Bloodstone], [Chalcedony], [Dark Jade], [Huge Citrine], [Shadow Crystal], [Sun Crystal]

  Cut any gem you want. Seriously, there are like 50 new green gem recipes, I won't list all of them. Go to your trainer, learn one and make that recipe around 55 times.

• 395 - 400
  Make 5 from any of the following items:

  5 x [Bloodstone Band] - 5 Bloodstone, 10 Crystallized Earth
  5 x [Crystal Chalcedony Amulet] - 5 Chalcedony, 10 Crystallized Earth
  5 x [Crystal Citrine Necklace] - 5 Huge Citrine, 10 Crystallized Earth
  5 x [Sun Rock Ring] - 5 Sun Crystal, 10 Crystallized Earth

  You might have to make more than 5.

• 400 - 420
  23 x [Stoneguard Band] - 46 Eternal Earth

  or

  23 x [Shadowmight Ring] - 23 Eternal Earth, 23 Eternal Shadow

  If you have some [Monarch Topaz], [Twilight Opal], [Autumn's Glow], [Forest Emerald], [Sky Sapphire] or you can buy these for cheaper than the Eternals, go to Wintergrasp and buy the jewelcrafting recipes sold by Stone Guard Mukar (Horde) and Knight Dameron (Alliance). You can only buy these recipes if your faction controls Wintergrasp. One recipe costs 19 honor, which means if you stay here and do a few daily quest while the battle is on, you can buy most of the recipes.

  All of these recipes are orange up to 410 and yellow up to 425.

• 420 - 425
  5 x [Dream Signet] - 5 Titanium Bar, 5 Dream Shard, 5 Forest Emerald

  Check the previous part if you don't have materials for Dream Signet, or you can also try these alternatives below. Choose one you have materials for. (the alternative in the previous part is a lot cheaper.)

  5 x [Runed Mana Band] - 10 Titanium Bar, 10 Twilight Opal
  5 x [Scarlet Signet] - 10 Titanium Bar, 5 Scarlet Ruby
  5 x [Sky Sapphire Amulet] - 10 Titanium Bar, 10 Sky Sapphire

Visit your trainer and learn Jewelcrafting Illustrious.

• 425 - 450
  Make 25 from any of the new Uncommon Gem Cuts that you get from your trainer. You can also make [Jasper Ring] if you can disenchant it.

• 450 - 467
  Make around 20 uncommon gems, or you can make 17 [Hessonite Band]

• 467 - 475
  8 x [Hessonite Band] - 8 Jeweler's Setting, 16 Hessonite

  You can also make [Carnelian Spikes] if 3 Carnelian is cheaper than 2 Hessonite. You can buy the Jeweler's Setting from the vendor.

• 475 - 500
  25 x [Nightstone Choker] - 25 Jeweler's Setting, 50 Nightstone

  Make more Hessonite Band if you have some Hessonite left.

  Rare Cataclysm gems are cheap on most realms, so making [The Perforator] between 490-500 seems very good alternative to rings and necks.

Visit your trainer and learn Zen Jewelcrafting.

• 500 - 512
  4 x [Ornate Band] - 4 Lapis Lazuli, 4 Tiger Opal, 4 Sunstone

• 512 - 527
  5 x [Shadowfire Necklace] - 5 Roguestone, 5 Alexandrite, 5 Pandarian Garnet

  You can also just continue to make more [Ornate Band].

If your main goal is to just learn every rare gem cuts. Then start making the first gem research [River's Heart] or [Sun's Radiance]. You can only make 1 research a day, but it will give you 3 skill points. You will have to learn like 100 recipes, which means you will reach 600 by making these researches daily.

• 527 - 575
  I could list all the recipes you learn at 525, but there is no real need for that. All of the recipes you learn will stay orange all the way up to 575. You will learn new ones at 530, 535, 545, and so on. Making necks, rings gets you 3 skill points for 3 uncommon gems. Each gem cut gives 1 skill point. You get the same skill point to gem ratio either way. I would choose the necks, rings because it is usually easier for me to sell. You will use 48 gems.

• 575 - 585
  You shouldn't make the necks or the rings because they will no longer grant you 3 skill point. Make any uncommon gem instead. You will use around 20 gems.

• 585 - 588
  Make any gem research like [Primordial Ruby]. It is up to you which one you choose, but it's better to choose one that you have materials for because after the research you will learn a new recipe which you will have to make 6 times. The gem color of the recipe will be the same as the gems you used for the research.

• 588 - 600
  Cut 6 rare gem from the learned recipe.
