Choosing a Second Profession
Choosing a Second Profession
There is no need to list the other professions as only one goes
with Jewelcrafting. That one profession is Mining. Jewelcrafting
uses metals and gems found from various metal nodes all around
the land and it will always benefit whenever you can obtain the
materials yourself. Not only that, but having Mining allows for
the prospecting skill to be used.
Jewelcrafting
Jewelcrafting is a rather easy skill to use. Simply open your
Spellbook and locate Jewelcrafting. From here select what you
wish to craft then choose Create. You can use the slider to
craft multiples at the same time, if you wish. If you have the
available materials then a bar will come up letting you know the
item is currently being created. If you wish to cancel during
this time simply move your character around. If it fails due to
movement then you will loose no materials.
Skilling up Jewelcrafting is easy. If its colored Orange then
youll gain a skill point in Jewelcrafting. If its colored Yellow
then youll have a decent change to increase in skill. If its
colored Green then youll have a low chance to increase in skill.
Grey items do not give skill points.
Quite a few Jewelcrafting items are Bind on Pickup, which means
that the items created are only for you. This makes it a worthy
skill to have when youre leveling because youll have some useful
items (rings, necklaces, etc.) and have Mining which is already
a great source of profit.
A quick note, some items may require a "Jeweler's Kit" and/or a
"Simple Grinder". These items are available for sale by certain
Jewelcrafter trainers and suppliers
Gems and Jewelry
Gems are found two ways. One is that they can be crafted by
taking a gem and refining it with the Jewelcrafting skill. The
second is to purchase it from various NPC vendors (who may or
may not be controlled by reputation). The first method is great
for producing very fine refined gems from gems while the second
is great to put into filler gear or anything you find that needs
a gem but doesnt need something overly expensive.
Your basic gems currently can increase the following:
Attack Power
Strength
Parry
Dodge
Healing
Spell Damage
Spell Critical Rating
Hit Rating
Critical Strike Rating
Intellect
Defense Rating
Resilence
Stamina
Spirit
Spell Penetration
Mana every 5 sec
Combination of gems can include resists, run speed buffs, chance
to stun or restore health on melee attack, reduced threat, and
more. There are advanced colors, such as orange, green, and
purple that combine two bonuses (by mixing colors). Meta gems
are combinations of lots of gems and include the most powerful
bonuses.
Jewelry comes in various rings, necklaces, trinkets and statues.
The new item in this list, statues, is similar to the Shamans
totems and provides a pulsing heal on the Jewelcrafter for a
short period of time. The rings, necklaces, and trinkets are
very powerful and their low level creations are extremely
viable.
