Well, they would if the items were in the database. These are new items, and the realms are down. :(

Is it just me, or is Jewelcrafting looking absolutely worthless in comparison to some of the unique 'your item only' things that other tradeskills are getting?
Oh boy. I get to make myself lousy trinkets that pale in comparison to raid-level items.
But that's okay, because I get to make BoP statues that I never use in a level 70 situation, or in raiding at all.
But I mean, the fact that I can cut myself a slightly better than epic-level unique gem really just makes up for it completely.
Seeing inscription and every other profession get incredible profression-owner-only item buffs, cool items, and other amazing things makes me wish I hadn't blown so much money to get to 375 JC.
Feel free to correct me if I missed something awesome that JCs are getting. I'd love to be corrected right now.

Did you miss the new JC-only
prismatic gems
from a previous build?

Still seems a bit meh, in comparison to some of the things that other tradeskills are getting. But it's certainly better than the epic boon of getting to socket a
Crimson Sun
.
Edit: You know, if you guys ever felt like you had too much spare time or anything, I think a guide of all the 'crafter only' benefits for tradeskills in WotLK would be insanely useful. I'm finding them pretty hard to keep track of, at this point.
(This is where you tell me there's already something like that out there, and I feel like an idiot.)
