An Introduction of Jewelcrafting in Cataclysm


Jewelcrafting in Cataclysm persists to be one of the most fascinating professions in the game, delivering resources that everyone needs, too as offering one of the most flexible (and thereby most appealing to min-maxers) personal performance perks of any profession. Let's take a tour round the profession window, starting with the core ability that everyone thinks of once they think jewelcrafting: gem cutting.

 
Gem cuttingTake just about any ore, prospect it, and you also will get raw gems. Cut these raw gems, and you also can add them to sockets in gear, which provide stats. The three prospectable ores in Cataclysm are Obsidium Ore, Elementium Ore, and Pyrite Ore.

 
* Prospecting Obsidium yields a greater volume of green-quality gems, with an astonishingly low chance for blue-quality gems. Looks like a stack of Obsidium will average someplace in the realm of six green-quality gems per stack and an astonishingly little quantity of blue-quality gems.
* Elementium gives a decrease yield of green-quality gems but a a good deal greater fee of blue gems than Obsidian -- between 4 and five green-quality gems per stack, too as an average of about one blue-quality gem per stack.
* Pyrite hasn't been prospected enough yet to know what the raw gem yield will begin searching like; however, we're reasonably certain that there's a 100 percent chance that it will yield between one and three Volatile Earth for every prospect.

 
All Cataclysm gems can only be placed in Cataclysm gear, so even though the green-quality ones have more itemization than the epic Wrath of the Lich King gems, anyone wanting to gem a socket before hitting Cataclysm content is planning to be forced to use a gem from an earlier expansion. Right now, not several people are getting cut gems (compared to the number of gems which happen to be getting cut by people leveling JC), and once the great majority of the realm's population has hit 85 and begins getting gear upgrades that demand cut gems, they're most likely to use blue-quality. The best green-quality gem is definitely an uncut one, because those even now have uses. they are able to be utilized to craft rings, necklaces, and a weapon for skilling up (and eventually perhaps disenchanting profitably), and a number of them are utilized in the JC daily quests.

 
* Alicite can be fit into a pendant.* Carnelian can't be turned into a cheap green; however, it is utilized for Carnelian Spikes.
* Hessonite is in heavy demand because the crafted eco-friendly it's utilized for while leveling goes eco-friendly at 495.
* Jasper is also utilized for leveling; however, there's also a JC daily quest that calls for it (even more when you proc an unwanted "perfect" gem).
* Nightstone is another one that's in really heavy demand for leveling, as it goes eco-friendly at 505.
* Zephyrite can't be turned into a green, but there's a JC daily quest for it as well.

 
Cutting blue-quality gems will demand acquiring the cuts, for the most part through doing the daily quests. These is planning to be the bread-and-butter JC business catering to endgame players in a couple of months, but for now, couple of people have gear worth spending in, and you also can only obtain a handful of cuts per week. Luckily, blue gems look to be very easy to acquire. In addition to getting prospected from the far easier-to-farm Elementium, they are able to be transmuted by alchemists (no cooldown) for the price of three like-colored, green-quality gems and a couple of herbs.

 
Unlike in previous expansions, there is now only one meta gem, the Shadowspirit Diamond. Learning a cut takes 4 daily tokens, compared to three for the blue-quality cuts, and the the only way i understand of to get meta gems is through an alchemist's transmute, again with no cooldown. The real cost is steep, though. based on which ore you prospect, you'll need between three and six stacks to make just one transmute, which yields two metas. Your opportunity cost is even higher, however. I can prospect ore day and night on my realm, and while I'll rarely sell a Carnelian, I can't keep Nightstone or Hessonite in stock. The lost earnings from not selling these have to be considered but will alter from realm to realm.
