WoW Jewelcrafting Guide 1-375

his WoW Jewelcrafting guide takes you from 1-375 using only trainer formulas and lists the most efficient way to level up your jewelcrafting. It can be used by those looking to power level their skill up and those looking for a plan to follow while they level their character and jewelcrafting at the same time. You'll find that as you level your jewelcrafting up the cost of doing so increases greatly...so if you find yourself sort on gold while you are leveling up I suggest you use this Gold Guide to learn how to get more gold so you can advance your character faster.

Jewelcrafting Introduction

If you decide to become a jewelcrafter the first step is to learn jewelcrafting. Because jewelcrafting was not an original profession, it came into being after the debut of the Burning Crusade, there are not jewelcrafting trainers in pre-Burning Crusade cities. So fly, port, or run to the nearest Burning Crusade era city with profession trainers and navigate to the jewelcrafting trainer by right clicking a guard, clicking on profession trainer, clicking jewelcrafting, and by going to the flag that pops up on both your mini map and regular map.

To train jewelcrafting simply click on the jewelcrafting trainer and train apprentice jewelcrafting. Next train heavy copper ring. You'll notice that by learning apprentice jewelcrafting the trainer also gave you a number of other jewelcrafting formulas. Also, in order to begin jewelcrafting you will need to purchase a Jeweler's Kit from a jewelcrafting supply vendor, which can be found right near the jewelcrafting trainer.

Now that you have trained you might be wondering where to get the supplies for jewelcrafting! The components for jewelcrafting are derived from mining. Therefore, a vast majority of jewelcrafters train mining as their second profession. If you decide to mine then the next step for you would be to find a mining trainer in one of the major cities with trainers and then get out and mine. As you mine you will find that you obtain ore and sometime even gems from mining veins. You can then head smelt the ore to turn it into bars needed for creating jewelcrafting items.

The biggest advantage of training mining as your second profession is that you will be able to collect all of your own jewelcrafting supplies. You'll probably even mine extra ore you can prospect for gems. (Jewelcrafters are able to train the skill prospecting, which allows them to search ore for gems. Although the ore is destroyed in the process it's worth it when valuable gems are found in the process. So if you mine a lot and have extra ore you can simply prospect it for a chance to find gems, which are of course a major component of jewelcrafting.)

It's important to note that while mining is the traditional complement skill to jewelcrafting not all players choose to train it. Instead those players use a number of other options to get the jewelcrafting supplies they need. Some opt to use another character on their account that already has mining trained and farm the supplies. Others have friends mine the supplies for them or buy everything they need on the auction house. If you don't have another character with mining on it, have friends to get you supplies, the money to buy supplies, or the server population to support an auction house with lots of supplies then you may be stuck having to mine everything yourself.



Jewelcrafting 1-100

The focus of this guide is to get ones skill level up as fast as possible without having to buy recipes from vendors, the auction house, or farm for random drops. It also is designed for players who choose to buy all of their supplies from the auction house, or rather, to level up jewelcrafting without having mining trained.

If you are short on money or don't want to waste a single copper by buying low level formulas you only need to train the following formulas and skills to get your jewelcrafting from 1-100: Apprentice Jewelcrafting, Journeyman Jewelcrafting, Delicate Copper Wire, Braided Copper Ring, Tigerseye Band or Malachite Pendant, Bronze Setting, and Solid Bronze Ring.

Important: The amounts listed to craft are only guidelines since everyone will likely reach the projected skill level by crafting slightly different amounts of items. If you find that you haven't reached the projected skill level craft a few more items until you reach it. If you find that you reach the projected skill level early then stop making the item (unless it is marked as "Keep" since you will need to craft that amount for use in later recipes) and move onto to crafting the next item on the table.Item Amount to Craft Components Projected Skill Sell or Keep
Delicate Copper Wire 50 100 Copper Bars 40 Keep
Braided Copper Ring 10 20 Delicate Copper Wires 50 Sell
Tigerseye Band 25 25 Tigerseyes/25 Delicate Copper Wires 70 Sell
*Or  
Malchite Pendant 25 25 Malachites/25 Delicate Copper Wires 70 Sell
Bronze Setting 20 40 Bronze Bars 85 Keep
Solid Bronze Ring 20 80 Bronze Bars 100 Sell

Jewelcrafting 100-200

Congrats, if you are reading this part of the guide you probably already have your jewelcrafting leveled up to at least 100. This guide will provide you with a way to efficiently level your jewelcrafting to 200. This guide does not require you to farm for recipes or buy them on the auction house, every formula required is trained by the jewelcrafting trainer. It also assumes that you might have decided to skip mining for supplies and instead buy them all on the auction house.

If you are short on money the only skills you have to buy to are the ones required to create: Bronze Settings, Simple Pearl Ring, Ring of Twilight Shadows, Heavy Jade Ring, Mithril Filigree, Engraved Truesilver Ring, and Expert Jewelcrafting. 

Important: The amounts listed to craft are only guidelines because the rate at which your skills go up will vary from below. For example, it might only take you 10 tries on the Simple Pearl Ring to get your skill up to 110. At that point, since the recipe turns “green” it is best that you stop making the rings and move onto the next item to craft. So if at any point you reach the projected skill listed in the row of an item you are creating move onto making the next item (unless “Keep” is listed in the row, which means that you will need to make that number of items for later use).Item Amount to Craft Components Projected Skill Sell or Keep
Simple Pearl Ring 13 13 Small Lustrous Pearls/13 Bronze Settings/26 Copper Bars 110 Sell
Ring of Twilight Shadows 15 30 Shadowgems/30 Bronze Bars 125 Sell
Heavy Jade Ring 27 27 Jades/27 Bronze Settings/54 Iron Bars 150 Sell
Mithril Filigree 40 80 Mithril Bars 185 Keep
Engraved Truesilver Ring 15 15 Truesilver Bars/30 Mithril Filigree 200 Sell


Important: This guide requires Bronze Settings, which are crafted from bronze bars (2 bronze bars are required to create one Bronze Setting). If you followed the 1-100 section of the guide you should already have 20 Bronze Settings and need to only create 20 more (you will need 40 bronze bars to do this) for use in this guide. 

If you are starting without any Bronze Settings simply make 40 (you will need 80 bronze bars to do this) for use in this guide. Now get started and good luck and have fun jewelcrafting!


Jewelcrafting 200-300

If you've made it through jewelcrafting this far, congrats. Or if you are just looking ahead at what jewelcrafting to 300 takes, here it is. You will find that as your skill levels get higher and higher, the cost of materials gets higher and higher and in some cases harder to find. If you want to get your jewelcrafting up as quickly as possible I suggest buying the materials; however, this is easier said than done, unless you have a lot of gold. 

With this guide you will find a very efficient way to level your jewelcrafting to 300. All of the formulas required for this guide are trained by the jewelcrafting trainer so you don't have to worry about farming or buying formulas.

If you are low on gold the only skills you have to buy to are the ones required to create: Engraved Truesilver Ring, Mithril Filigree, Aquamarine Pendant of the Warrior, Thorium Setting, Ruby Pendant of Fire, and Sapphire Pendant of Winter Night. All of these formulas can be trained by the jewelcrafting trainer.

Important: The following "Amount to Craft" are only guidelines and the rate at your skill goes up will likely be slightly slower or faster. For example, it might take you 24 crafts of the Engraved Truesilver Ring to get to skill level 220, instead of 22. At the point in which you reach the projected skill level early with less crafts than listed it is best that you stop making the item and move onto the next item to craft. The exception to this is if the item is listed as "Keep" in the "Sell or Keep" column, if it says "Keep" continue making the item since you will need it as a component in future crafts.Item Amount to Craft Components Projected Skill Sell or Keep
Engraved Truesilver Ring 22 22 Truesilver Bar/44 Mithril Filigree 220 Sell
Aquamarine Pendant of the Warrior 5 5 Aquamarine/15 Mithril Filigree 225 Sell
Thorium Setting 59 59 Thorium Bar 255 Keep
Ruby Pendant of Fire 34 34 Star Ruby/34 Thorium Setting 280 Sell
Sapphire Pendant of Winter Night 25 25 Blue Sapphire/25 Thorium Setting/25 Essence of Undeath 300 Sell


Important: This guide requires Mithril Filigrees, which are crafted from Mithril Bars (2 Mithril Bars are required to create one Mithril Filigree). If you followed the 100-200 section of the guide you should already have 10 Mithril Filigree and need to only create 49 more (you will need 98 Mithril Bars to do this). 

If you are starting without any Mithril Filigree simply make 59 (you will need 118 Mithril Bars to do this) for use in this guide.




Jewelcrafting 300-375

Congrats if you've made it this far, you are almost done! One thing to keep in mind when leveling from 300-375 is that it can take a very long time and it can also take a lot of gold, unless you have all the supplies. So if you don't have a lot of gold take a look at this Gold Guide to learn what it takes to make enough gold for not only your jewelcrafting, but your mounts, skills, and whatever else you desire. For this section of the guide I recommend that you use your own common sense when trying to level up. Some of the sections will require that you level up using lots of the same materials. If you don't have a huge surplus of supplies or don't have a lot of gold to buy them then use your own judgment and try to level up using the supplies you do have. 

In order to level up using this guide you will train/purchase recipes from the jewelcrafting trainer (Tatiana in the Inn in Honor Hold, Hellfire Peninsula for Alliance or Kalaen in the Inn in Thrallmar, Hellfire Peninsula for Horde). You can choose what ones you actually need to train based upon the gems you have, since you have many options for a lot of the levels. You will also need to purchase a Simple Grinder from a merchant selling jewelcrafting supplies in order to cut gems. You will also need to farm the recipe for Khorium Band of Leaves (more directions for doing this are listed below) and obtain a Mercurial Stone from an Alchemist (more directions are found below).

Important: The "Amount to Craft"listed is only a guideline and you will most likely craft a different amount to get to the projected skill level listed. It might take you less tries or more tries when crafting an item to get to the skill listed. If you reach the projected skill level early you can move onto the next item to craft or if the item isn't gray you can continue making it until you exhaust your supplies. If you fail to reach the projected skill level with the amount listed to craft then make a few more items until you do reach it.Item Amount to Craft Components Projected Skill Sell or Keep
Flame Spessarite or Glowing Shadow Draenite or Solid Azure Moonstone or Teardrop Blood Garnet or Brilliant Golden Draenite or Radiant Deep Peridot 5 5 Flame Spessarite or Shadow Draenite or Azure Moonstone or Blood Garnet or Golden Draenite or Deep Peridot 305 Sell
Bright Blood Garnet or Bold Blood Garnet or Jagged Deep Peridot or Sparkling Azure Moonstone 10 10 Blood Garnet or Deep Peridot or Azure Moonstone 315 Sell
Glinting Flame Spessarite 11 11 Flame Spessarite 325 Sell
*Smooth Golden Draenite or Rigid Golden Draenite or Sovereign Shadow Draenite 41 41 Golden Draenite or Shadow Draenite 355 Sell
Purified Shadow Pearl 11 11 Shadow Pearl/11 Purified Draenic Water 365 Sell
Cut Gems Using Patterns that are Rare Drops or Faction Earned 375 Sell
Or  
**Khorium Band of Leaves 11 22 Khorium Bar/44 Mercurial Adamantite/33 Primal Life 375 Sell


*You have two choices here, you can either level up using gems or you can create 44 Mercurial Adamantite and finish leveling to 355 with gems after you have crafted 44. The Mercurial Adamantite will be used to create the Khorium Band of Leaves from 365-375. If you can get access to a different recipe or know that you will not use it to level those last ten levels then there is no need for you to create the Mercurial Adamantite (unless you choose to do so). If you decide to level up using the Mercurial Adamantite use the following table for 325-355:Item Amount to Craft Components Sell or Keep
Mercurial Adamantite 44 176 Adamantite Powder/44 Primal Earth Keep
Smooth Golden Draenite or Rigid Golden Draenite or Sovereign Shadow Draenite As many as needed to get to 355 Golden Draenite or Shadow Draenite Sell


Mercurial Stone: In order to create Mercurial Adamantite you need to have a Mercurial Stone in your inventory. Mercurial Stones are created by alchemists (I think the required skill level in alchemy is 325 in order to train this from the trainer) and require 1 Primal Earth, 1 Primal Mana, and 1 Primal Life, in addition the alchemist must create it at an Alchemy Lab, which can be found in Lower City in Shattrath City. So to get this item you can either browse the auction house or get an alchemist to make one for you.

** Khorium Band of Leaves: This is the only pattern in the entire 1-375 guide that must be farmed. You will need to head to Blades Edge Mountains and kill the Vekh'nir Dreadhawk in the southeastern part of the zone. Make sure you bring and loot with the character you are leveling jewelcrafting with because the formula is jewelcrafter only.

I chose this pattern for a couple of reasons 1) it is relatively cheap to make compared to other patterns at this skill level 2) you don't have to farm instances for it to drop.
