Legion Jewelcrafting Guide

There are new ranks associated with most Legion Jewelcrafting Recipes. Each rank lets you craft an item more efficiently. In the case of Jewelcrafting, you require fewer mats to create each item.

All crafted rings and necks will come with prismatic sockets.

Truly Outrageous: Acquire 5 Gem Chips, turn them in for Versatile Skystone

An Eye for Detail: Investigate the rumor that some gems are fake by talking to Catriona Macrae at the Legerdemain Lounge, Didi the Wrench at the Engineering shop, and Debbi Moore from Curiosities and Moore.

Swift Vengeance: Kill Harold Winston, hiding in Dalaran's Underbelly.

You then have the option of learning either Deadly Deep Amber, Masterful Queen's Opal, or Quick Azsunite. You will be able to purchase the other recipes later.

Making the Cut: To learn the selected recipe, chip away at the gem placed in front of you.

A Familiar Ring to It: Find the Shrine of Adiir in the Crumbling Palace.

Getting the Band Back Together: Find the three pieces of the Band of Farondis on the nearby murloc shore, the El'dranil Shallows. At the same time, complete Knocked for a Loop to collect 10 Salteye Bangle.

You then have the option of learning either Azsunite Loop, Skystone Loop, or Deep Amber Loop. You will be able to purchase the other recipes later.

Finishing Touches: To learn the selected recipe, chip away at the gem placed in front of you.

Raising the Drogbar: Talk to Lasune Darkblade in Val'sharah to find Jabrul.

Bruls Before Jewels: Find Jabrul in the water by harpies in Thas'talah and escort him to safety.

Lapidary Lessons: Use Tiffany's cutting tool to create Well-Cut Maelstrom Sapphire. This teaches the recipe Versatile Maelstrom Sapphire.

Also at 104, players can pick up Hidden Intentions to learn Jeweled Lockpick. For this quest, you must ask around looking for diamonds. Tiffany sends you to the Underbelly, you'll then have to bargain to acquire Black Market Diamond from the Black Market Auction House. Combine the diamond with Diamond Lockpicks to create the lockpick.

Come at Me, Brul: Find Jabrul in Stormheim, by Nashal's Watch.

The Charge Within: Use the Conducting Jewel on 10 nearby Storm Dragons.

Mysteries of Nature: Loot a piece of Dragon Glass; turn it in for the toy recipe Chatterstone

Eyes of Nashal: Determine which rare gem you want to cut, and then ascend Nashal's Watch to loot the gems from the top of the tower.

The gem options are: Masterful Shadowruby, Quick Dawnlight, and Deadly Eye of Prophecy. You will be able to purchase the other recipes later.

Jabrul Needs You: Find Jabrul in Azsuna, near Shackle's Den in Azsuna.

To Dalaran, With Love: Find 6 planks of wood nearby to fashion a crate for Jabrul. Pack him up, mail him to Dalaran, and pay him a visit!

Jabrul now sells you a number of gem cuts and Rank 1 recipes, including Saber Eyes, the ring and neck options you previously did not choose on quests, and ilvl 835 necks.

Socket to Me: Gather six gem fragments, found in Moonglade, Northern Stranglethorn, Twilight Highlands, Vale of Eternal Blossoms, Deepholm, and Highmountain. The one in Highmountain is the trickiest to find--find the entrance to Greystone Enclave, not Echoing Halls as the minimap would indicate. You will then learn JewelCraft, WoW's version of Bejeweled!

Comment by Baboen

Thanks for making this guide, it helped me to decide in which zones to level.

Comment by Grabovsky

Though they got rid of tanking/healing specific stats, for off specs with gem slots you will still need 2 items of a slot with a gem, blizz really didnt think this through when they made the str/agi/int gems. Just like enchanting, blizz wasnt thinking.

Comment by Trollina

I've a question. Is there a difference between prospecting Felslate and Leystone Ore? If the drops and the drop chances are the same, isn't it a good idea to sell Felslate in Auction house, to buy Leystone with it, as it goes twice cheaper in the Auction House right now?

Comment by gbr16

Am I missing something with prospecting or are gems just incredibly rare? I have prospected 100s of ore at a time without getting anything but gem chips. Is anyone else getting the same results?

Comment by Timess

I am stuck at 785 Have nothing to craft that gives me skill points except The Taladite Crystal Daylie from WoD. I guess you have to get Rank 3 patterns to get things that gives you skillpoints.

Comment by TigBiddies

Hi guys, is there an item in Legion like the Taladite Recrystalizer in WoD?
thanks.

Comment by joeygiggles

Im trying to figure out if anything besides gems is actually worth crafting?
The item levels are so low on the neck and rings that they are easily replaced from heroics and even WQ gear. Can these items be upgraded via Obliterum or no?

Comment by Zooksi

Can you wear 2 of JC rings if you have like a Prophetic Band and a Dawnlight Band? or is it unique equipped across the board?

Comment by 1517537

This guide says that Jubal has my class design rank one of Sylvan Maelstrom Amulet. I have purchased everything he has to offer but he doesn't have this. I got rank 2 from tiffany....so what am I missing.

Comment by 1704253

So i can't find my class trinket. Jabrul doesn't sell it and i completed the quest "A personal Touch". I don't know what else I can do. If anyone can help that would be great.

Comment by Gotyourbacon

There appears to be a bug of some sorts with two different stats given for the gems cut in Legion. Currently, I can cut the various uncommon gems which give 100 haste, mastery etc. However a friend of mine has linked a gyazo to me with 150 on exactly the same gem that I can only see 100. This is also the case with the rare variety of gem. It shows me I have 150 stats from that type but it shows 250 for him. I've read elsewhere that Blizzard have indeed made this change a while ago, but why it's still appearing in the tooltip for some players, I do not know.

Comment by psaro

For those wondering yes the neck recipes listed as dropping in heroic mode can drop in mythic dungeons.

Comment by fouts85

Has anyone noticed that Quick Dawnlight Gem only gives 150 Haste at 110 , Or is this a bug with blizzard or something werid .

I was hoping to have it 250 Haste like promised on Wowhead

Comment by Traziz

Perhaps someone can test this out with me, I have been trying to see if the level of your Jewelcrafting can affect what you get from prospecting.

From around 700 Jewelcrafting I did notice gems did appear now and again and mass prospecting was giving better results.

However I leveled my Jewelcrafting to 752 and did some mass prospecting and received even more gems, including rare gems.

180 Leystone gave - Maelstrom Sapphire, Eye of Prophecy, 4 Deep Amber, 2 Sangrite, 3 Azsunite, 2 Queens Opal.

100 Felslate gave - 5 Maelstrom Sapphire, 6 Eye of Prophecy, 9 Deep Amber, 5 Skystone, 5 Azsunite, 3 Chaotic Spinnel.

I will try later with more Felslate to see if I can repeat the success and if there is a chance Jewelcrafting level does give more chance at prospecting.

Would be nice to see some data from other people and their levels to correlate.

Comment by Mikula

Jewelcrafter here - just wondering if anyone can explain why legion gems and gem chips won't go into my Jewelcrafting bag?

If it's related to the new bag system then it's kinda weird... i'd be forced to downgrade from a 36 slot bag to a 30 :/

Comment by bleuwolfe

Please do not vendor your gem chips, they are used to make the high level mastery food Nightborne Delicacy Platter. You should be able to get more money throwing them on AH.

Also be aware that the tooltip for Skystone Loop is correct in this guide- it is a versatility ring, NOT a mastery ring, even though the choice you are given when you take the quest to learn your first pattern says it will be mastery. (and there is no choice for vers)

Comment by sam154

Does anyone know if the rings can roll only 1 stat? As in a ring that has 1610 haste instead of 1075 haste and 575 vers.

Comment by Mewington

Does anyone happen to know anything about the maelstrom band tier 3 you get from suramar fishing? Is there a particular area anyone's noticed in drops more or anything?

Comment by 454468

I was able to complete all of the listed level 100 required quests tonight, at level 98. I couldn't progress any further than that however.

Comment by Winfried

Nice guide ... but how do i level from 770 to 800 Jewel Crafting Skill? All my recipes are Green and i cant just wait for the Darkmoon to come around, can i?

Comment by nomadicdruid

The +600 stat comment looks like a typo. That sent a guildie of mine on a long quest to try and find out more about a +600 stat gem that doesn't exist.

Comment by Nubbsauce

I feel like JC, in this xpack, is a little lackluster.

Maybe it's because some of the jewelry we make now is sub-par to what it was in the past, or maybe it's because we lost our unique profession bonus by being able to create more powerful Self-Use gems for our character.

Don't get me wrong, I love what they did with professions this xpack, they really needed it, but I just feel if they had either the stronger self-use gems, or the ability to create prismatic sockets for accessories(If the item doesn't already have one), it would make Jewelcrafting feel a little bit more rewarding.

That's just my opinion, being a JC since BC.

Thoughts?

Comment by cormierc

Help! I picked up WoW with the new expansion, Legion. I began Jewelcrafting and completed the questline through "A Personal Touch". I then began leveling my profession and finally hit 700. I can't seem to find where I can obtain the title "Legion Master Jewelcrafter" and boost my cap to 800. Would anyone please advise?

Comment by Jasminefire

Can anyone tell me if the 3 star designs for jewcrafting drop in mythic dungeons and do they have a higher drop rate in mythic and mythic plus?

Comment by Derfman

So... I am at 797 and waiting for the next Darkmoon Faire because I absolutely refuse to spend the gold necessary to level these last few levels. One estimate I read was that it would take on average 300k gold to go from 799 to 800, that after spending just as much to go from 797 to 799. What in the world are the devs thinking here? This is absolute garbage. Players complained about prospecting rates and what did they do.... they nerf it even more. No relief in site either.

Comment by Deckven

I've prospected Legion's ores since release of the expansion. Getting "blue" gems is complete random. Once I prospected 400 Felslate and got 18 Pandemonite. Sometimes I got none of rare quality gems. So, I decided to make some experiments to define how many gems I can get from prospecting. Results of first one you can find below.

Preconditions:
I used Mass Prospect and autoloot (next time I'm gonna try another way to prospect)
I was prospecting only Felslate
Total amount of Felslate is 3200 pieces (16x200)
Total amount of gold spent for it is around 70k

The results are following:
16 Pandemonite
15 Dawnlight
17 Furystone
24 Maelstrom Sapphire
25 Shadowruby
19 Eye of Prophecy
90 Sangrite
105 Deep Amber
168 Azsunite
67 Chaotic Spinel
137 Skystone
123 Queen's Opal
742 Gem Chips

Comment by 1726662

Just wanted to add a note about gem chips. They do have one use outside of their predictive value when prospecting. They are a reagent for nightborne delicacy platter. While they may not make you a fortune, auctioning them before raid lockout resets can make you more gold than just treating them like vendor trash.

Comment by BowWow

Hello - thank you for the great guide! I have a problem...none of the JC WQs are showing up for me. I completed the JC quest line, and my skill level is 785 Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you..

Comment by SquareOFortune

I'm almost there. It's taken me forever to grind this profession out, and in the nearly 7 months Legion's been out, I've gotten a grand total of zero recipe drops from the Heroic or Mythic dungeons that are supposed to have them. ZERO. Absolutely, absurdly, ludicrously ridiculous. This has got to be a joke.

The one Lv3 recipe I got during the jewelcrafting questchain happened to need gems that are prohibitively expensive on my server, so I basically went bankrupt getting the mats (no, I wasn't lucky with prospecting the gems I needed or getting enough rares to cover all my costs). Eventually I was able to farm out rep for Highmountain to get a second Lv3 recipe (Dawnlight Band) that used gems that were very cheap on my server, so I crafted those necks until I got to 795. Since I know it could be 40+ necks to go from 795-800 if I'm unlucky (and history sure as hell shows that's going to be the case), I'm now just going to wait a week for the Darkmoon Faire and get the free 5 jewelcrafting points from that.

Then maybe I can start making back all the many thousands of gold I've wasted on this irresponsibly-unbalanced profession.

The only thing I keep thinking is that months of my life shouldn't have to go into grasping for a handful of profession points for a game.

Comment by eighty8

Just a new note as of 7.2 for those of us that were stuck in the 785/800 range, the Rank 3 Necklaces such as Ancient Maelstrom Amulet have been updated to be worth 5 skill points again rather than the Yellow version of a possible 1 point that they were previous to 7.2. It is still worth 5 points at 795 as well so you can get to 800 with 3 crafted necklaces (I did it today, 03/29/2017) and finally hit 800 from 785.

This means you no longer need 15+ Pandemonite to get to max level and will help save you thousands in costs.

Comment by nurseferatu

I am noticing a huge drop in payouts from shoulder enchants since 7.2 - getting one low level gem and under 5 gem chips on average. Anyone else noticing this? I have given up on this profession and am just going from Darkmoon to Darkmoon to level it at this point. Stupid levels of gold and grind for items that are only good for disenchanting.

Comment by Briandris

Is there any use for common gems? I have like 400+ of every color and I can't find a use for them besides the odd JC world quest? Are they vendor trash?

Comment by Malovent

You can also prospect Gem Chips which are mostly vendor trash. The color of the Gem Chip reflects what the next gem will be, so a minor use for a Gem Chip is to prospect Leystone Ore, hit a Gem Chip color you're after, and swap to the better Felslate in the hopes of getting the gem you need quickly.

Does this still hold true in 7.2.0?

Comment by Sollicity

Has anyone else noticed that with the jewel crafting necks, each class has an epic neck except for the priest which has a rare one. Does anyone know the reason for this and if it is possible for priest to also get an epic version?

Comment by Bonniet

Has anyone had any luck procing a "of the impatient" on any crafted item? I have crafted over 100 JC items and not once gotten that specific set of stats... Quickblade, Fireflash and Peerless only with this last batch of 44. Seriously, if this is a best in slot stat for a bunch of people you would think it would actually proc occasionally!

Comment by Lazare69

This line in the above guide "You can also prospect Gem Chips which are mostly vendor trash. " is wrong. You can not "prospect Gem Chips", you can acquire them while prospecting though. It is located in the "Crafting Reagents and Prospecting" section.
Maybe it should read "You can also acquire Gem Chips, while prospecting ore. They are used in on food recipe Nightborne Delicacy Platter and to make 15 other Jewel crafting recipes, like the Empyrial Cosmic Crown Empyrial Cosmic Crown "

Cheers!

Comment by 1793286

I am in awe at the level of deep thinking by the devs that went into designing the Hunter 850s. Now my pets will enrage on end-game level bosses like...uhm...animal bosses...Fenrir! No, soloed him a few times already without the neck, besides he was Broken Isles end-game, not Argus. Uhm...well, I'm sure that there are plenty hunter pet family major bosses on Argus...aren't there? Did the Blizz team just give up so they could pack early and head off to Blizzcon? Because it sure looks like they just didn't even pretend to try with 3/4ths of new content.

Comment by Gothy

If anyone wants a quick, easy guide to leveling JC or other professions, or farming ore then I recommend WoW-Professions. I've been referencing that website for years. Last I heard it was one guy putting it all together too!

Comment by gunsotsu

jewel crafting is looking good. glad they decided not to go forward with the gear to level gems. good decision. making gems require a certain level is great as it means that the old gems can still be made
