In Dragonflight, the overhaul of all the professions with new specializations and tiered quality of crafted items allows Jewelcrafting to shine even brighter than before. If you want to be the one to control the gem market, here’s everything you need to know about the profession in the latest expansion.
Overview
Jewelcrafting is one of several ore refinement professions, taking the resources gathered from Miners and Prospecting them for the gems hidden within. In the hands of a proper Jeweler, these gems can besocketed into pieces of gearto give any secondary stat that someone could want, or they can beused to make new trinkets, rings, or necklaces.
As such, you’ll want to take upMining as your secondary profession. Not only will this give you access to the required rare ores, but you’ll save yourself from emptying your bank on the Auction House.
If you have multiple characters and you’ve already designated one of them to be your gathering character, other professions that pair nicely with Jewelcrafting areBlacksmithing or Enchanting.
When you’re ready to begin your Jewelcrafting journey, you’ll want to seek outTuluradormi in Valdrakken, who can be found in a small building in The Artisan’s Market. Here, you’ll be able to learn recipes, work at the nearbyJeweler’s Bench, and fetch Jewelcrafting supplies fromShakey Flatlapoutside.
Once you’re situated with your skills, you should buyprofession equipmentbefore you get started. While these aren’t necessarily required to rank up, having one tool and two accessories equipped will provide aboost to your skills and improve your recipes.

How To Level Up In Jewelcrafting
Obtaining levels through Jewelcrafting is a lengthier process than most of the other professions. You’ll contend withlong cooldownson certain recipes and ahefty material cost. However, you’ll want to follow the same basic outline of crafting any orange recipes to achieve max level as quickly as possible.
Timewatcher’s Patiencewill also be available to you at level 25, but it’s not as optimal as Revitalizing Red Carvingdue to its 20-hour cooldown.
The final recipe that your trainer can teach you is at level 40, so once you rank up to level 80, you’ll have to find the other sources for your remaining recipes yourself. You can easily find more throughdifferent specializations, or you can grind outRenown with the Dragon Isles reputations.
