Thanks for the information :)

Thanks, great info, hopefully the epic rings and pendants, eg - shifting Taladite ring will more than make up for the loss of meta gems and socketing

Comment by Brainscape

This seems like it'll be a decent grind, Im down!

Comment by Makita

Kinda sad that the gems don't have names anymore but that it's just 'multistrike gem' etc. Or is that gonna change?

Comment by mageranger13

I realize that gems are pretty much over kill right now needing so many of them to get your gear socketed and that new gems will be virtually doubled in power with fewer slots; but this just seems like a pretty hard hit to JCs. I was expecting it, but reading it just makes it that much more a tough pill to swallow.

Comment by Peake

Will the Ring and Neck stay BoP? Will be pretty hard to give up Jewelcrafting as profession, if it's the only one that receives Raid level exclusive Epic gear...

Comment by 381061

how are you suppose to make money as a JC now? few gem slots on items and the rest of the items are BoP.

Comment by Crackalash

GG making any kind of real profit anymore. Making it off Jewelry? Please

Comment by 1020938

There's no way the Jewelry will stay BOP. The similar crafted epics e.g.Brilliant Hexweave Cloak for the other professions are BOE, these will be too before Warlords hits.

Comment by Messer345

So wait a sec. Jewelcrafting will rely on mining AND herbalism for gems?

Comment by lankybrit

Am I missing something? Jewelcrafters don't Prospect any more?

Comment by IceWolfDK

Hrm, some observations. JCing is a lot more dependent on Sorcerous Air now since last build. And......oh god. Now we too need Savage Blood for the crafted epics. >.<

Comment by Detinator247

Wait so would the maximum upgraded level of these rings/necklaces (Level 3) be better or worse than the ones you might find in raids? It's hard to see the benefit of using so many resources on making an item worse than one you'd find in normal mode

Comment by KiritaWindwalker

I just realized... They turned Jewelcrafters into Engineers...

Seriously, we make BoP items (Now BoE, same as what they ended up doing with the goggles), our items are really more vanity (Pets, mounts, gems that make beams of light...), and our items take DAYS to craft! As pointed other comments, its a 5 day CD to make a rare gem. Making uncommon wont sell probably, with so few gem slots anyone lucky enough to need a gem will want the BEST....

I disagree that these gems will sell for much on AH. Please turn your attention to CURRENT GEMS. People are putting gems that VENDOR for 4 gold up for 2 gold on the AH! Now with so many gems that people will go that low to undercut other AHers (and even then that's only be a few silver) how do you think it will be in Warlords? So few gems needed but SO many JCs needing that income! You'll spend 5 days to sell it for 2 gold less then you can vendor it!

Atleast on my server where the AH is so messed up you make more money by buying the gems and vendoring them then selling your own. I hope other servers will have better luck on that...

While less gems to craft can be appealing to the long search for that one set of stats on the gem other then scrolling through 60 gems to find the one with int/haste the lacking need for them will leave you with a major lack of profit on any high pop servers that have thousands of JCs... Atleast the making of gear looks like it'll help offset that loss for your own characters atleast if its at or near the normal/Heroic ilvl for gear. Even if its just at normal ilvl it'll have a good chance to sell as a "Must have" to raiders just like the 553 belt and pants became since they were BoE and a high level meant better damage...

Well that's my rant over this... Not really happy or upset... Just meh at this point with all the new systems. I wish all others luck in gold making with the new changes! :)

Comment by Voxxel

Due to recent changes for WoD, I highly doubt professions like JC are here to make serious profit anymore..

Comment by AlexL1118

Did I understand correctly that we don't have any way to learn new recipes except through Gem Boutique in Garrison?

I used one small slot for first profession, and 2-nd small slot for bank. Later I planned to destroy bank toward Enchanter's Study - to DE BoP items and not just waste such items to vendor.

Relating JC - I planned to buy recipes from some trainer. And we don't have any trainer except Gem Boutique?

Comment by Skaoi

Reference for all crafted items which have <Random Enchantment> on them:

<Random Enchantment> (...of the...) = Stat 1 + Stat 2

Aurora = Haste + Versatility
Deft = Haste + Multistrike
Feverflare = Haste + Mastery
Fireflash = Crit + Haste
Harmonious = Mastery + Versatility
Merciless = Mastery + Multistrike
Peerless = Crit + Mastery
Quickblade = Crit + Versatility
Savage = Crit + Multistrike
Strategist = Multistrike + Versatility

Comment by 177254

So any other JCs not able to use taladite in their crafting? Cause the green haste gem asks for blackrock ore and not a single taladite.

Comment by perculia

Several gem recipes were recently hotfixed for different reagents, which have been added to the guide.

Comment by 763607

It's interesting to note that both Alchemy and Jewelcrafting are the only WoD professions that can be powerleveled to 700 if you're not worried about gold costs. Useful for getting the daily CD that produces 10 Taladites sooner rather than later.

The <random enchantment> for "shifting/glowing" rings & pendants:

Comment by vohlmarc

I agree with misve. Blizz has made JC an undesirable profession with the expansion. I have yet to figure out a good way to level. Let alone provide a living. Gear sockets are scarce and Taladite Crystal takes weeks to accumulate (need 100 to make an epic ring or pendant). And there doesn't seem to be any "in between" leveling after the basic Blackrock Ore ring (which was grayed-out almost immediately). I've had JC as a profession on this toon since WoLK. Now, I'm thinking seriously about abandoning it and learning another. My hope is that Blizz will FIX THIS!

Comment by 828102

Funny, my jeweller twink dinged his 700th skill point the other day, but I still have to see the Taladite cooldown get any charges.
It's still only once per day (though it does produce 10 taladite).

Comment by Draewind

In WoW professions we now buid items that can rival the raid drop items and are far better than the dungeon drop items. They start small and can be made bigger and bigger. They all are created with what is called a <Random Enchantment>. We even craft items to take another roll at the <Random Enchantment> on the gear. The random enchant includes 2 of the secondary stats (giving us a measurable chance or RNG). Items for the Back (cloak), neck, neck, finger(ring), weapon, and shield, have a greater number of possibilities than other armor items, because they can contain the secondary statistics of Bonus Armor and Spirit (fortunately they do not include the combination of both those statistics ;-).

All of the items have a name in the form of "<ItemName> of the <RandomEnchantComboName>". If you click on the <RandomEnchantComboName> link, it will take you to a chart with all the possible names and combinations. I wish I could add a picture here.

http://compuball.com/forum/WoWRandomEnchantment.png

Examples:
"Steelforged Shield of the Guileful" would have Critical Strike and Bonus Armor as the <Random Enchant>
"Truesteel Breastplate of the Harmonious" would have Mastery and Versatitility as the <Random Enchant>
(I think I threw up a little bit there)

Most Armor Items:
As we see from this graph, the number of possible <Random Enchantments> for most armor items will be 10. So, you have a 1 in 10 (1/10 or 10%) possibility of getting just the mixture of statistics you want.

Cloaks, Necks, Rings, Shields, Weapons:
These items have an additional 2 statisctics added to the normal 4. The added statistics, as mentioned earlier, are Bonus Armor and Spirit (Tank and Healer statistics, respectively). Fortunately there is no combination of both Bonus Armor and Spirit (ever here of teats on a boar hog?)

Only weapon types intended for a healing class will have the possibility of Spirit, and only weapon types intended for a tanking class will have Bonus Armor. Weapons intended for both, will have the same chances as all the jewelry, cloaks, and shields. So if it can be enchanted (by enchanting) or is a shield, it fits in this class of item.

So your chances of getting the perfect necklace with just the right two secondary statistics is 1 in 20 (1/20 or 5%). I am not certain whether Bonus Armor and Spirit have the same chance of being included. If they are given a single chance and then chosen between the two, then your chance for an item with perfect statistics not including Bonus Armor or Spirit would be 1 in 15 (1/15 or 6.67%).

I would list here all the values associated with the <Random Enchantments>, however they vary depending on the slot and material. They also vary with the level of the individual wearing or looking at them.

There you have it. All the possible names and combinations. All items of the same level contain the same amount of statistic, such as "54 Critical Strike" and I have not seen a crafted item with a double a statistic (only one statistic but twice the value).

EDIT: None of content, just spelling and highlighting.

Comment by ConAir

Although it may be stated elsewhere, it is not stated here; Greater Mastery Taladite, Greater Critical Strike Taladite, Greater Haste Taladene, Greater Haste Taladite, Greater Stamina Taladite and Greater Versatility Taladite share a daily cooldown of six, meaning only a total of any six of these items can be produced in a single day. This will continue to keep the cost high for all Greater Taladite gems.

Comment by 1448603

Is it possible to craft an item with 78/78 of the secondary stats? If so, would anyone happen chance of it happening?

Comment by jetfire158

What's the item that does that in the first screenshot with the beam?

Comment by 240502

Of course the most notable thing about the changes in Warlords of Draenor with respect to Jewelcrafting is the decimation of gems as being useful. However, there is an additional casualty which is that they actually flip-flopped the Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King gem values. This is interesting, because the level 70 gems are equal to or better than the level 80 gems. Ironically, my level 70 twink has more health than my level 80 twink, and they both have best in slot gear and gems. Strange, no? I wonder why nobody talks about this.

What profit ?

Comment by Bullfish90

I don't know about you guys, but it would be nice if these new recipes are account bound. I have JWC on my alt, but I don't feel like playing and gearing it just for recipe. If I could get them with my main and just send it via mail, would be awesome :)

Comment by skyrdycat

Importantly, the recipes for the Mighty Taladite Amplifier and the Savage Taladite Amplifier require Sorcerous Water, NOT Sorcerous Earth. This is true as of 7/18/15.

Comment by Hec80

I found that the first Immaculate I made ( Immaculate Critical Strike Taladite) Immaculate Critical Strike Taladite was added to my own recipe book. When I went to create the first Immac Mastery gem I expected the same to happen - it did not. I now wonder if I have a lucky bug in that the first recipe was added, or if they all should be ...

Comment by croswb

Not sure if anybody has posted this but for (link not working) can (probably?) be found at any level of difficulty, seeing as mine dropped for me in LFR (it's for the satchels, ok?)
