Jewelry Making

Skilling up

Apudark's guide

Jewelcraft is easy. There are no subcombines and every combine uses only 2 ingredients.

Save your diamonds, blue diamonds, uncut gems, and other types of gems (Miragestone, etc). You can get to 279 using nothing but vendor purchased items that you can then resell to the merchant at a small loss. Jewelcraft seems like it would be expensive, but once you're working diamonds and blue diamonds, you'll bring in good plat.

The table below shows you the combines:

Getting over 279 requires dropped gems. Diamonds and blue diamonds are best because they drop in quantity. They also drop in every zone you will be hunting in. You will have a hard time getting enough gems you can use for cutting to skill up with, but they are good supplements on the way up.

• Platinum Diamond Wedding Ring to 287
• Velium Diamond Wedding Ring to 290
• Platinum Blue Diamond Tiara to 295
• Velium Blue Diamond Bracelet to 302

Stillwaters' guide (may be outdated)

I strongly suggest doing this QUEST here before doing JC. Its an easy quest and the end result is a superior 6-slot tradeskill container that can accomplish combines a normal jeweler's kit cannot.

Dwerium Bar to 100

• Dwerium Bar:

Gnomish Heat Source

Platinum Bar

Raw Faycite Crystal

Notes: Platinum Bars can be bought from Noirin Khalen of the eastern trade building, PoK. Gnomish Heat Source is bough from Eric Rasumus, by the small bank, PoK. Raw Faycite Crystals are found in THESE zones.

Oh, and save the Dwerium Bars you made, you'll need them later.

Jade Platinum Ring to 250

• Jade Platinum Ring:

Jade

Platinum Bar

Notes: Platinum Bars can be bought from Audri Deepfacet of the northern trade building, PoK. Jade can be bought from Kirem Deepfacet, next to Audri. And you were just getting used to running around weren't you?

Dwerium Practice Pendant to 306

• Dwerium Practice Pendant:

Dwerium Bar

Pendant Mold

Solo Setting Tool

Notes: Mercia of the eastern trade building, PoK, sells the mold and the solo setting tool.

Zyxs' Guide to economically skilling up Jewelcrafting

Getting Started

Review the whole guide, as there's some items that you're going to want to be keeping an eye out for in the Bazaar, on Vendors, and while farming. The assumption is that the drops required for 160+ skillups are going to be watched for and shopped for passively while you're adventuring.

Step 1, equipment you'll need:

• Planar Jeweler's Kit
• Square Cut Tool.

Remember that you can turn the Square Cut Tool into any of the other gem setting tools just by putting it in the JC container by itself and combining it.

Step 2, free skillups:

Go to the Abysmal Sea and do this quest set repeatedly until you're 54 and have gotten the ability to refine Raw Nihilie. Jewelcraft Freebie: Help Glirina

Step 3, tradeskill trophy:

Go do this quest and get the trophy. Beginner Jeweler Test Make sure you always have it equipped while you're skilling up. The higher your effective skill is, the more likely you are to succeed with a combine. Successes have a higher chance of giving you a skillup.

Step 3ish:

After you've been making the recipes below and are around 162, make a Jewelers Glass to do the higher end cuts.

Vendor sold components

Skill, item, Cost in PP

• 60 Round Cut Malachite 0.052
• 64 Round Cut Lapis Lazuli 0.094
• 68 Round Cut Turquoise 0.115
• 72 Round Cut Hematite 0.157
• 75 Round Cut Cat's Eye Agate 0.209
• 79 Round Cut Onyx 0.682
• 83 Round Cut Jasper 0.787
• 87 Round Cut Carnelian 0.892
• 91 Round Cut Star Rose Quartz 1.049
• 95 Round Cut Wolf's Eye Agate 3.359
• 98 Round Cut Jade 3.674
• 135 Stone Furniture Leg 0.55
• 148 Stone Furniture Base 0.812
• 162 Stone Furniture Frame 0.916
• 174 Trilion Cut Bloodstone 0.524
• 178 Trilion Cut Amber 2.625
• 182 Trilion Cut Topaz 5.249
• 202 Simple Stone Carved Pub Table 3.404
• 202 Small Stone Carved Bed 3.666

You may want to skip the recipes in italics in favor of getting started with the Stone Furniture Legs. You're going to go through a lot of them anyhow.

When you're making the stone legs, base and frame, hold onto those pieces for the 202 skill combines. Once you've used up all the frames, don't make any more beds, just make the tables. Architect Alric will sometimes have legs, bases, and frames sold back to him.

The furniture can get pretty tedious, but once you're in that skill range, keep in mind that skillups will take a ballpark of 20 combinations for each skillup (less needed if you have higher stats though.)

There is a 10 slot Jewelry table right between Dogle Pitt and Jeweler Nonny that you can use for the larger combines.
