WoW Jewelcrafting Leveling Guide 1 - 525
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.
50 - 150
- 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 The design sold by this NPC. As of patch 4.0.3a, Horde players can no longer get this recipe. They should make the recipe mentioned below, but if you have an alliance friend on your realm, you can ask him to buy the recipe, put it on the neutral Auction House then you can buy it with your horde characher.
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.
150 - 200
- 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
200 - 300
- 200-220
If Citrine is expensive, you can continue to make [Engraved Truesilver Ring] up to around 210 or maybe more, 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.
- 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 some Azerothian Diamond, or it's cheap (I doubt that) you can start to craft [Diamond Focus Ring] too.
- 280-290
10 x [Onslaught Ring] - 10 Powerful Mojo, 10 Essence of Earth, 10 Thorium Setting or
10 x [Sapphire Pendant of Winter Night] - 10 Blue Sapphire, 10 Essence of Undeath, 10 Thorium Setting
- 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
300 - 350
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.
[Brilliant Blood Garnet]
[Solid Azure Moonstone]
[Radiant Deep Peridot]
[Inscribed Flame Spessarite]
[Timeless Shadow Draenite]
- 320-325 Make 5-7 from any of the following gems.
[Bold Blood Garnet]
[Delicate Blood Garnet]
[Jagged Deep Peridot]
[Reckless Flame Spessarite]
[Purified Shadow Draenite]
- 325-335 Save these, you will need them later.
10 x [Mercurial Adamantite] - 40 Adamantite Powder, 10 Primal Earth
Make a few from any of the following gems, if you didn't reach 335.
[Regal Deep Peridot]
[Glinting Shadow Draenite]
[Shifting Shadow Draenite]
[Subtle Golden Draenite]
[Purified Jaggal Pearl] - This one turns green at 332.
- 335-340 Make 5-7 from any of the following gems.
[Smooth Golden Draenite]
[Potent Flame Spessarite]
[Rigid Azure Moonstone]
[Sovereign Shadow Draenite]
- 340 - 350 You can continue to make the gems above, if you didn't reach 350 by making the rings below.
10 x [Heavy Adamantite Ring] - 10 Adamantite Bar, 10 Mercurial Adamantite
350 - 425
- 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 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
- 400 - 420
23 x [Stoneguard Band] - 46 Eternal Earth or
23 x [Shadowmight Ring] - 23 Eternal Earth, 23 Eternal Shadow
- 420 - 425 5 x [Dream Signet] - 5 Titanium Bar, 5 Dream Shard, 5 Forest Emerald
425 - 525
- 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 an 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 - 495
20 x [Nightstone Choker] - 20 Jeweler's Setting, 40 Nightstone Make more Hessonite Band if you have some Hessonite left. You can also start doing the Jewelcrafting Daily quests, you can read about this in the next step. If you are not rushing things, you can buy one rare gem cut and make that recipe up to 500.
- 495 - 525
From this point, most of the recipes will be purchased from vendor. You need to do the Jewelcrafting daily quests if you want to buy any of these recipes. Horde players can find Marith Lazuria at Orgrimmar and Alliance players can find Isabel Jones in Stormwind. These NPCs start the daily quests. Between 495-500, you could also make a few more Nightstone Choker, then you can make [Fire Prism] at 500. [Fire Prism] has a 20 hour cooldown, but it can contain [Chimera's Eye]. You should make [Fire Prism] every day.
In short, you either make Nightstone Choker between 495-500, or you do the daily quests for 4 days and buy a meta gem recipe then make that one up to 525, and do the Fire Prism recipe every day. Meta gem recipes turn green at 520, so be prepared to make a lot if you want to reach 525 as fast as possible. The best possible way is to stop at 520, and make one Fire Prism for 5 days.
