Jewelcrafting (Mining)

Though you are able to make rings and necklaces and sometimes head pieces, this profession really shines once you can make Gems. It’s a really nice profession to have with many of the Outland and Wrath of the Lich King armor pieces come with sockets that need to be filled with Gems that only a Jewelcrafter can make. The only downside to picking this profession is that in order to have a wide range of different Gem Designs, you have to raise your faction high with pretty much everyone! If you decide to pick up Mining to go with your Jewelcrafting profession, you also get a passive stamina buff from having Mining as a profession.

Benefits: Even though being able to get all the Gem Designs from the many different factions that you must increase your reputation with in order to receive, you will be loved, especially in the Auction House where many go to buy Gems for their new armor with empty sockets. You also can make your own trinkets which can rival that of level 80 trinkets, and they come with bonus sockets! You can also make your own Jeweler’s Gems, which only the Jewelcrafter can socket to their armor, these are prismatic gems that can fit in any socket and give a large amount of stat bonuses. For example, as a JC you can make Runed Dragon’s Eye which adds +32 spell power compared to Runed Scarlet Ruby (red gem) that only adds +19 spell power.

NOTE

In the next patch (3.2) there will be changes in the Jewelcrafting profession. Your Jeweler’s Gems will no longer be prismatic gems, but rather reflect their respected color. Runed Dragon’s Eye will be a red gem and no longer a prismatic one. There will also be a large addition of new epic gem designs, and the gems can be purchased or acquired through Alchemy Transmutation.

Notable Jewelcrafting Gems Designs:

Quick Dragon’s Eye (prismatic)	+27 Haste Rating “Jeweler’s Gem: Matches any socket. Maximum of 3 Jeweler’s Gems socketed in your equipment.”

Tailoring

As a cloth wearer, many casters pick up this profession. In Outlands being able to make Mooncloth or Shadow Weave armors were the best in slot, until raid Tier pieces. You get the benefit of being able to make your own bags, armor and having tailor-only item enhancements for your cloaks and leggings. The downside to this profession is once you reach end game material the embroideries and making 22 slot bags are the only benefit of having this profession, not to mention all the cloth it takes to make everything! Though, with a simple quest when you first enter Northrend through the Tailoring Trainer you are able to collect extra cloth from fallen mobs, this even includes if it is not your mob to loot, once the person loots their mob it becomes available for you to loot the extra cloth that they cannot see if they are not a tailor. Tailors also can make their own flying mounts, which are flying carpets! Engineers are the only other profession that can make mounts, but sadly, tailors can’t make land mounts.

NOTE

In the next patch (3.2) there will be changes to Tailoring Embroideries, they will be given a buff! Darkglow Embroidery, for example, will restore 400 mana instead of 300 mana when you cast a spell. There will also be additions of new armor that can be made. The robes that can be made will rival Tier 7.5 robes.
