World Of Warcraft: Jewelcrafting: A Deeper Look

Jewelcrafting: A Deeper Look

Introduction
Hello, my name is Drayvock, and I will be your personal guide through this artical.

Jewelcrafting, a new skill in World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade is quite the useful skill. You can make many different jewels that can be worn from level ten and up. With most other skills, there is a second "Primary" profession that you should learn to go along with your first one, in the case of jewelcrafting, its mining. In this guide, I will show you, step-by-step, on how to use jewelcrafting.

Chapter 1: Starting Off
First, you have to learn the two professions. Simply head to the Jewelcrafting Trainer and the Mining Trainer in any major town (I used the one in Silvermoon, the new Blood Elf town).

Next, go out and mine some copper ore, or if you decide you can simply buy some copper bars or copper ore from the Auction House. Lets get 20 copper ore/bars Once you have your copper bars, you must turn them into copper wires. Click on the jewelcrafting icon in your abilities book. You will notice that you have several items to choose from (as shown below).

If you look at the different items, you will notice that some of them require Copper Wire, and others require Copper Wire [u]and[u] Copper Bars. Because of this, we dont want to use all of our ore on making copper wires. Lets make 10 copper wires. That should leave us with 10 Copper Bars left.

Delicate Copper Wire

Now we have our Copper Wires, and some Copper Bars to make some rings with. Lets make a ring or two. Great! Now we have our first ring.

The next chapter talks about higher level jewelcrafting.

Chapter 2: Higher Level Jewelcrafting
Once you get to a sufficient amount of jewelcrafting skill, you can begin to make gemmed jewels, such as the Tigerseye Band shown below.

You will use gems you get from mining and prospecting (talked about in the next chapter), such as Tigerseye, Malachite, and Shadowgems.

Chapter 3: Prospecting
Prospecting is trainable at 35 jewelcrafting skill. Prospecting is used like your jewelcrafting skill; you select it from your abilities menu, and then select a stack of ore. It takes 5 of the same type of ore to use prospecting. After clicking on the pile of ore, it removes 5 more from your backpack.

Prospecting Ore

After removing the ore from your pack, a loot box opens up. You get some gems, that you can use (as explained previously in Chapter 2), and you get some Copper Dust (if you are using it on Copper Ore). As far as I can tell, the dust isn't used for anything and its also gray which confirms that.
