Warcraft Elite Guides

This WoW Jewelcrafting guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how to level your Jewelcrafting skill up from 1 to 450. Updated for WoW patch 3.3

Powerleveling your Jewelcrafting won’t be cheap. Make sure you have enough gold, even if you have Mining. The best thing you can do is, you can try to sell the items you make. Just put them on AH. A lot of level 80 players are willing to buy low level items for their alt, if you can’t sell something just disenchant it, and sell the shards/dust.

Jewelcrafting is the best combined with Mining or the other option is Enchanting. Check out my Mining Guide or my Enchanting guide, if you want to level any of those professions. When you choose mining, you can save a lot of gold, because you can gather the materials, but it will take a lot of time. With Enchanting, you can Disenchant the items you make.

Jewelcrafting Apprentice 1 – 50
Jewelcrafting Journeyman 50 – 150
Jewelcrafting Expert 150 – 200
Jewelcrafting Artisan 200 – 300
Jewelcrafting Master 300 – 350

Go to Outland and learn Jewelcrafting Master.

Now from this part of this Jewelcrafting guide, you will use recipes that are already yellow to you and since whole WoW is pretty random, you might just need 5 gems to reach your desired skill or maybe 10.

•300-320
A nice alternative to 300-315 is this pattern:

15 x [Prismatic Black Diamond] – 15 Black Diamond

When you learn these recipes, they are already yellow. I suggest you to cut 30 from any of the following gems, then you should reach 320.

[Teardrop Blood Garnet]
[Brilliant Golden Draenite]
[Solid Azure Moonstone]
[Radiant Deep Peridot]
[Inscribed Flame Spessarite]
[Glowing Shadow Draenite]

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

[Bold Blood Garnet]
[Bright Blood Garnet]
[Gleaming Golden Draenite]
[Jagged Deep Peridot]
[Luminous Flame Spessarite]
[Royal Shadow Draenite]
[Sparkling Azure Moonstone]

•325-335
Save these, you will need them later.

13 x [Mercurial Adamantite] – 52 Adamantite Powder, 13 Primal Earth

Make a few from any of the following gems, if you didnt reach 335.

[Enduring Deep Peridot]
[Glinting Flame Spessarite]
[Runed Blood Garnet]
[Shifting Shadow Draenite]
[Thick Golden Draenite]
[Purified Jaggal Pearl] – This one turns green at 332.

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

[Dazzling Deep Peridot]
[Delicate Blood Garnet]
[Potent Flame Spessarite]

You can go to Hellfire Peninsual and find Kalaen if you are Horde, Tatiana if you are Alliance. These NPCs sell the following recipes.

[Rigid Golden Draenite]
[Sovereign Shadow Draenite]
[Smooth Golden Draenite]

•340 – 350
You can continue to make the gems above, if you didn’t reach 350 by making the rings below.

13 x [Heavy Adamantite Ring] – 13 Adamantite Bar, 13 Mercirual Adamantite

350 – 450

Go to Northrend and learn Jewelcrafting Grand Master.

•350 – 395
Buy around 55 from any of the following gems. After 375, the recipes will be yellow so you might need less or more.
[Bloodstone]
[Chalcedony]
[Dark Jade]
[Huge Citrine]
[Shadow Crystal]
[Sun Crystal]

Cut any random 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 Cristallyzed Earth
5 x [Crystal Chalcedony Amulet] – 5 Chalcedony, 10 Cristallyzed Earth
5 x [Crystal Citrine Necklace] – 5 Huge Citrine, 10 Cristallyzed Earth
5 x [Sun Rock Ring] – 5 Sun Crystal, 10 Crystallized Earth

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

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

•420 – 425
You better make this yellow recipe until it turns green, because after this, there will be only meta gems, and they are a lot more expensive. Forest Emerald is usually the cheapest gem.

7 x [Dazzling Forest Emerald] – 7 Forest Emerald

•425 – 440
Buy 15 [Skyflare Diamond] or [Earthsiege Diamond]

There are plenty of meta gem recipes, choose one of them and make it 15 times. You can learn some recipes from your trainer, and some of them are sold by Tiffany Cartier in Dalaran, there is also a lot of them dropped by bosses and mobs around Northrend.

•440 – 441
1 [Icy Prism] – 1 Frozen Orb, 3 Chalcedony, 3 Shadow Crystal, 3 Dark Jade
•441 – 450
More meta gems. Usually 13-14 [Skyflare Diamond] or [Earthsiege Diamond] is enough.
I hope you liked this World of Warcraft Jewelcrafting guide, GZ to 450!
