This is the main guide we will use for leveling up Jewelcrafting

http://www.wow-professions.com/wowguides/wow_jewelcrafting_leveling_guide.html

Jewelcrafting guide sections: Apprentice 1 - 50 Journeyman 50 - 150 Expert 150 - 200 Artisan 200 - 300 Master 300 - 350 Grand Master 350 - 425 Illustrious 425 - 500 Zen 500 - 600

Approximate Materials Required for 1-600 IMPORTANT! Do not buy all of the materials at once! Jewelcrafting is really expensive to level, and on most servers the Auction House is screwed up because of the insanely high prices of low level Gems, Orbs and Bars. I usually have a few tips and alternative recipes so you can save some gold.

100 Copper Bar 20 Tigerseye or 20 Malachite 120 Bronze Bar = 60 Copper Bar, 60 Tin Bar 60 Shadowgem OR 20 Shadowgem and 20 Small Lustrous Pearl 80 Heavy Stone 30 Moss Agate / 60 Lesser Moonstone for Horde 140 Mithril Bar 80 Solid Stone 25 Citrine 15 Truesilver Bar 5 Aquamarine 50 Thorium Bar 10 Star Ruby 20 Large Opal 7 Azerothian Diamond 3 Blue Sapphire 3 Essence of Undeath 20 Huge Emerald Burning Crusade

55 green gems OR 40 and 15 Black Diamond - You can find a list of green gems here. Don't buy all of them from one kind because there might be some recipes which you don't have the reputation for to buy it, so you will have to choose other green gems. Just buy them when you get to that part of the Jewelcrafting guide. 40 Adamantite Powder (200 Adamantite Ore) 10 Primal Earth 10 Adamantite Bar Wrath of the Lich King

Buy around 70 from any of the following gems: Bloodstone, Chalcedony, Dark Jade, Huge Citrine, Shadow Crystal, Sun Crystal. Make sure to buy at least 5 Bloodstone, because you will need the Bloodstones when you reach 395. 10 Crystallized Earth 46 Eternal Earth OR 23 Eternal Earth and 23 Eternal Shadow 5 Forest Emerald 5 Titanium Bar 5 Dream Shard Cataclysm

Buy 45 from any of the following gems: Carnelian, Alicite, Jasper, Zephyrite. I did not include Hessonite and Nightstone in the list because you will use them later on. 16 Hessonite 50 Nightstone Pandaria

Buy 60 from any of the following uncommon gems: Lapis Lazuli, Tiger Opal, Sunstone, Roguestone, Alexandrite, Pandarian Garnet (you should have at least 5 from each) Buy 9 from any of the following rare gems: Wild Jade, Vermilion Onyx, Primordial Ruby, Imperial Amethyst, Sun's Radiance, River's Heart. You will have to buy these from the same color, for example 9 Sun's Radiance

1 - 50 First, visit a trainer - just ask a guard, and learn Apprentice Jewelcrafting.

1-30 30 x [Delicate Copper Wire] - 60 Copper Bar Save these, you will need them later.

30-50 20 x [Tigerseye Band] - 20 Tigerseye, 20 Delicate Copper Wire

You can make 20 x [Malachite Pendant] too.

50 - 150 Learn Jewelcrafting Journeyman.

50-80 50 x [Bronze Setting] - 100 Bronze Bar

Save these, you will need them later.

80-100 20 x [Simple Pearl Ring] - 20 Small Lustrous Pearl, 20 Bronze Setting, 40 Copper Bar

or

20 x [Gloom Band] - 20 Bronze Setting, 40 Shadowgem, 40 Delicate Copper Wire

Make [Ring of Silver Might] if Silver Bar is cheap on your server.

100-110 10 x [Ring of Twilight Shadows] - 20 Shadowgem, 20 Bronze Bar You can also continue to make [Ring of Silver Might]

110-120 10 x [Heavy Stone Statue] - 80 Heavy Stone If Heavy Stone is cheap (usually it's not) make this one up to 130 if you want to.

120-150 30 x [Pendant of the Agate Shield] - 30 Moss Agate, 30 Bronze Settings If you prospect your own Ores, usually you will get a lot of [Lesser Moonstone] too, but even if you don't prospect the Ores, sometimes 2 Lesser Moonstone is cheaper than one Moss Agate. So get the recipe [Design: Amulet of the Moon] and use up all your Lesser Moonstone. This recipe turns yellow at 140, you might need to make more than 30 of these.

The design is sold by these NPCs.

150 - 200 Learn Jewelcrafting Expert.

150-180 45 x [Mithril Filigree] - 90 Mithril Bar Save these, you will need 45 of them later.

180-185 8 x [Solid Stone Statue] - 80 Solid Stone 185-200 15 x [Engraved Truesilver Ring] - 15 Truesilver Bar, 30 Mithril Filigree

200 - 300 Learn Jewelcrafting Artisan.

200-220 If Citrine is expensive, you can continue to make [Engraved Truesilver Ring] up to around 210 or maybe more, you will also need a bit more Mithril Filigree then. The recipe will go yellow at 210, so you might need to get more Citrine if you are unlucky. If you are lucky you will only need 20.

25 x [Citrine Ring of Rapid Healing] - 25 Citrine, 50 Mithril Bar

220-225 5 x [Aquamarine Pendant of the Warrior] - 5 Aquamarine, 15 Mithril Filigree 225-250 50 x [Thorium Setting] - 50 Thorium Bar Stop making these at 250 and only make more if you need it, but you will need around 50.

250-260 10 x [Ruby Pendant of Fire] - 10 Star Ruby, 10 Thorium Setting 260-280 If Large Opal is expensive on your realm, like it cost twice as much as one Star Ruby, then you should continue to make [Ruby Pendant of Fire] up to 275. Or if you Prospected your own Ores, you will have a lot of Star Ruby and Azerothian Diamond left, use all of them. 20 x [Simple Opal Ring] - 20 Large Opal, 20 Thorium Setting

If you reach 265 and you have a lot of Azerothian Diamond or if it's cheap, you can start to craft [Diamond Focus Ring]. Keep in mind that you will need 7 Azerothian Diamond for the next step.

280-287 7 x [Diamond Focus Ring] - 7 Azerothian Diamond, 7 Thorium Setting 287-290 3 x [Sapphire Pendant of Winter Night] - 3 Blue Sapphire, 3 Essence of Undeath, 3 Thorium Setting If you don't have Essence of Undeath you can just make [Glowing Thorium Band] up to 290.

290-300 Make a few [Glowing Thorium Band] if you have some Azerothian Diamonds left. 10 x [Emerald Lion Ring] - 20 Huge Emerald, 10 Thorium Setting

300 - 350 Visit your trainer and learn Jewelcrafting Master.

300-320 When you learn these recipes they will be already yellow, so I suggest you to cut around 30 from any of the following gems.

[Brilliant Blood Garnet], [Solid Azure Moonstone], [Radiant Deep Peridot], [Inscribed Flame Spessarite], [Timeless Shadow Draenite]

A nice alternative to 300-315 is this pattern:

15 x [Prismatic Black Diamond] - 15 Black Diamond

320-325 Make 5-7 from any of the following gems.

[Bold Blood Garnet], [Delicate Blood Garnet], [Jagged Deep Peridot], [Reckless Flame Spessarite], [Purified Shadow Draenite]

325-335 10 x [Mercurial Adamantite] - 40 Adamantite Powder, 10 Primal Earth Save these, you will need them later.

Make a few from any of the following gems if you didn't reach 335.

[Regal Deep Peridot], [Glinting Shadow Draenite], [Shifting Shadow Draenite], [Subtle Golden Draenite], [Purified Jaggal Pearl] - This one turns green at 332.

335-340 Make 5-7 from any of the following gems.

[Smooth Golden Draenite], [Potent Flame Spessarite], [Rigid Azure Moonstone], [Sovereign Shadow Draenite]

340 - 350 You can continue to make the gems above if you didn't reach 350 by making the rings below.

10 x [Heavy Adamantite Ring] - 10 Adamantite Bar, 10 Mercurial Adamantite

350 - 425 Visit your trainer and learn Jewelcrafting Grand Master.

350 - 395 Buy around 55 from any of the following gems. At 375, these recipes will turn to yellow so you might to buy more gems. [Bloodstone], [Chalcedony], [Dark Jade], [Huge Citrine], [Shadow Crystal], [Sun Crystal]

Cut any gem you want. Seriously, there are like 50 new green gem recipes, I won't list all of them. Go to your trainer, learn one and make that recipe around 55 times.

395 - 400 Make 5 from any of the following items:

5 x [Bloodstone Band] - 5 Bloodstone, 10 Crystallized Earth 5 x [Crystal Chalcedony Amulet] - 5 Chalcedony, 10 Crystallized Earth 5 x [Crystal Citrine Necklace] - 5 Huge Citrine, 10 Crystallized Earth 5 x [Sun Rock Ring] - 5 Sun Crystal, 10 Crystallized Earth

400 - 420 23 x [Stoneguard Band] - 46 Eternal Earth or

23 x [Shadowmight Ring] - 23 Eternal Earth, 23 Eternal Shadow

If you have some [Monarch Topaz], [Twilight Opal], [Autumn's Glow], [Forest Emerald], [Sky Sapphire] or you can buy these for cheaper than the Eternals, go to Wintergrasp and buy the jewelcrafting recipes sold by Stone Guard Mukar (Horde) and Knight Dameron (Alliance). You can only buy these recipes if your faction controls Wintergrasp. One recipe costs 19 honor, which means if you stay here and do a few daily quest while the battle is on, you can buy most of the recipes.

All of these recipes are orange up to 410 and yellow up to 425.

420 - 425 Check the previous part if you don't have Titanium Bar. 5 x [Dream Signet] - 5 Titanium Bar, 5 Dream Shard, 5 Forest Emerald

425 - 500 Visit your trainer and learn Jewelcrafting Illustrious.

425 - 450 Make 25 from any of the new Uncommon Gem Cuts that you get from your trainer. You can also make [Jasper Ring] if you can disenchant it. 450 - 467 Make around 20 uncommon gems, or you can make 17 [Hessonite Band] 467 - 475 8 x [Hessonite Band] - 8 Jeweler's Setting, 16 Hessonite You can also make [Carnelian Spikes] if 3 Carnelian is cheaper than 2 Hessonite. You can buy the Jeweler's Setting from the vendor.

Check your Calendar in-game to see if the Darkmoon Faire is open, the event starts at 00:01 on the Sunday before the 1st Monday of each month.

You can gain +5 skill points by completing a single quest. Click here to read more about the quests. Nightstone is usually really expensive, so this is the best way to use that free 5 skill point.

475 - 500 25 x [Nightstone Choker] - 25 Jeweler's Setting, 50 Nightstone Make more Hessonite Band if you have some Hessonite left.

Rare Cataclysm gems are cheap on most realms, so making [The Perforator] between 490-500 seems very good alternative to rings and necks.

500 - 600 Visit your trainer and learn Zen Jewelcrafting.

500 - 512 4 x [Ornate Band] - 4 Lapis Lazuli, 4 Tiger Opal, 4 Sunstone 512 - 527 5 x [Shadowfire Necklace] - 5 Roguestone, 5 Alexandrite, 5 Pandarian Garnet You can also just continue to make more [Ornate Band].

If your main goal is to just learn every rare gem cuts. Stop the leveling guide and start making the first gem research [River's Heart] or [Sun's Radiance]. You can only make 1 research a day, but it will give you 3 skill points. You will have to learn like 100 recipes, which means you will reach 600 by making these researches daily.

527 - 575 I could list all the recipes you learn at 525, but there is no real need for that. All of the recipes you learn will stay orange all the way up to 575. You will learn new ones at 530, 535, 545, and so on. Making necks, rings gets you 3 skill points for 3 uncommon gems. Each gem cut gives 1 skill point. You get the same skill point to gem ratio either way. I would choose the necks, rings because it is usually easier for me to sell. You will use 48 gems. 575 - 585 You shouldn't make the necks or the rings because they will no longer grant you 3 skill point. Make any uncommon gem instead. You will use around 20 gems. 585 - 588 Make any gem research like [Primordial Ruby]. It is up to you which one you choose, but it's better to choose one that you have materials for because after the research you will learn a new recipe which you will have to make 6 times. The gem color of the recipe will be the same as the gems you used for the research. 588 - 600 Cut 6 rare gem from the learned recipe.
