WotLK Jewelcrafting Guide

This Wotlk Jewelcrafting guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how to level your Jewelcrafting skill up from 1 to 450!

Powerleveling Jewelcrafting is not cheap.

Jewelcrafting is best combined with Mining to offset some of the cost, but it can also be paired with Enchanting to get a little gold back by disenchanting items. Check out my Mining Guide or my Enchanting guide, if you would like to level either of those professions!

To begin with, visit any trainer in a main city and learn . You can train your Jewelcrafting from 1 to 450 in Dalaran.

Here we have options, you can use this pattern as an alternative from 300-315:

Levels 350-395

Go to Northrend and learn Grand Master Jewelcrafting.

Buy around 55 of any mix of the following gems. At 375 this recipe turns yellow, so you may need a little more or less than 55.

• Bloodstone
• Chalcedony
• Dark Jade
• Huge Citrine
• Shadow Crystal
• Sun Crystal

Cut any random gem you would like. No, Seriously! There are around 50 new green gem recipes, you can just pick whatever you would like and level using it. Go to your trainer, learn one or all of them and then make the same recipe around 55 times.

Levels 395-400

Make 5 of any of the following items:

Levels 420-425

This yellow recipe is best until it turns green, after this point though… It’s all meta gems and they are expensive.
Forest Emerald is usually the cheapest gem to cut for these levels. After this, hopefully you can cut meta gems for people to get the last few levels.

• 7 x Dazzling Forest Emerald – 7 Forest Emerald

Levels 425-440

Buy 15 Skyflare Diamond or Earthsiege Diamond

You can use any of the meta gem recipes, just pick one to do 15 times… Some of the recipes can be learned from your trainer and others are sold by Tiffany Cartier.
The rest of the recipes are either dropped by bosses or mobs in Northrend.

Levels 440-441

• 1 Icy Prism – 1 Frozen Orb, 1 Chalcedony, 1 Shadow Crystal, 1 Dark Jade

Levels 441-450

Time to cut more Meta gems…
This usually takes around 13 or 14 Skyflare Diamond or Earthsiege Diamond.

Congratulations!

That’s all there is to it! Congratulations on 450 Jewelcrafting! It’s a pretty long journey but this is such a valuable skill to have! It has one of the best profession benefits with the special gems you can add to your gear.
It also can save you a ton of money by cutting your own gems! You can sometimes make money by prospecting ore too. Definitely do the math on that before prospecting a bunch of ore but it’s overall a great profession!
