What are basics of Jewelcrafting?
In order to start Jewelcrafting you will make use of ores and prospecting. You will be able to get ores either by choosing Mining as your complementing gathering profession, or by buying material on the Auction House. This option is far more expensive, but will save you some time in your leveling. The choice is yours.
Prospecting skill comes together with Jewelcrafting. This skill is used to prospect ores and then extract gems.
At higher levels of Jewelcrafting you will be able to make a special Icy Prism which has a cooldown of 20h. Icy Prism gives a chance of extract highly valuable gems, worth a lot of gold on the Auction House. Creation of Icy Prism requires a frozen orb and a few gems of lower value.
What else can a Jewelcrafter make?
Apart from being able to make valuable gems, a Jewelcrafter can craft rings, necklaces and trinkets. This profession allows selling necklaces and rings of epic rarity to other players for a nice amount of gold, as these items boost players’ statistics considerably.

Jewelcrafting = profitable?
It is amazingy profitable! When your character reaches the Outlands, a lot of the gear will have sockets available for gems. Sockets are made to fit Red, Yellow or Blue gems. Gems of additive colors such as green, orange and purple, may fit in both primary color slots they are mixed of.
With level 80 you will be able to play more heroics and join 10/25 man raids, which means that better gear will come your way. Of course, a good piece of gear will require the best gems to fit in sockets, and this is where a good Jewelcrafter fits in. They will thus be able to obtain a considerable profit, simply from cutting gems for other players or providing them with finished products on the AH.
To obtain new recipes you can do special Jewelcrafting daily quests. These quests can be obtained at Timothy Jones (Dalaran). By accomplishing them you will come in possession with special tokens that can be used for purchasing rare Jewelcrafting recipes.
If Jewelcrafting is your choice for a primary profession, rest assured that it will be a lot of fun to level it and that it will also come as very profitable later on. If you would like more on WoW Leveling, click here: WoW Levelling Guides
