WotLK Classic Jewelcrafting Profession and Leveling 1-450 Guide

Jewelcrafting's main purpose is to cut gems to fill open gem sockets on gear. This is a great way to enhance already powerful gear and customize it to further boost your desirable stats. Beyond gems, Jewelcrafting is also well known for making rare and valuable jewelry, such as rings and necklaces.

Jewelcrafting uses ores, metals, and stone to craft. It can be quite expensive to level and maintain so pairing it with Mining can be quite beneficial, especially early on when materials will be more expensive. Mining will allow you to farm your own materials without needing to buy them on the auction house.

Make sure to buy a Simple Grinder and Jeweler's Kit from your local Jewelcrafting Supplier or General Goods vendor as these are required to make many of the different crafts available to this profession.

Prospecting is a new skill that comes alongside with Jewelcrafting. It allows you to convert 5 ore into random materials, most commonly gems that are needed for many different patterns such as Jade.

Similar to how other professions work, each ore has a minimum skill required to be able to Prospect it, based on your Jewelcrafting skill. Prospecting can be an easy way to obtain some rare gems, and even profitable when used on endgame ore.

You can learn Jewelcrafting from any Jewelcrafting trainer, which are found in capital cities. When you arrive at a major city, you can ask any city guard for directions and pick the Jewelcrafting trainer option under the professions section. This will mark its location on your map, allowing you to easily find them and get the Jewelcrafting skill.
