World of Warcraft Jewelcrafting
World of Warcraft Jewelcrafting became available with the release of the Burning Crusade expansion. Jewelcrafting is a powerful profession used to create rings, necklaces, crowns and plenty of other items that before could only be gotten from loot drops and quest rewards.
As in Diablo II you can socket items to enhance your armor. The Jewelcrafting profession is used to carve gems to fit into sockets. You can increase armor enhancements by adding jewels to sockets the enhancement level is based on the type of jewels used. Most usable gems come from jewelcrafting although some dangerous monsters drop usable gems.
A gem can be socketed by any character, this is the only change you can make. Sockets can not be changed, added or removed. Once a jewelcrafter has given you a jewel, you can socket an item by shift-right-clicking the item. A window will pop open drop the jewel in the the socket you wish to fill. Once you have placed the jewel click the socket gems button to create the new item. An old jewel will be completely destroyed when replaced with a new jewel.
Jewecrafting should be paired with mining to enable you to acquire raw materials easily. A jewelcrafter can create rings and other jewelry to sale made with metal ores. At first it will be copper rings but other items will become available quickly. You can aquire a jewelcrafting kit for 8 silver. By finding an item that is readly made from the available resources and making it many times will drive your skill level up faster.
At level 20 you may learn prospecting from the jewelcrafting trainer. With this you can extract gems from the ores that you have mined. Learning prospecting will increase the chance of you finding gems for jewelry.
Getting your score up to 300 as quickly as possible should be your goal. The path you take will be determined by what materials are readily available to you and the space you have in your inventory.
