Approximate Materials Required for 1-600
IMPORTANT! Do not buy all of these materials at once! Jewelcrafting is really expensive to level, and on most
servers the Auction House is screwed up because of the insanely high prices of low level Gems, Ores and Bars. I
usually have a few tips, and alternative recipes, so you can save some gold.
- 100 Copper Bar
- 20 Tigerseye or 20 Malachite
- 120 Bronze Bar = 60 Copper Bar, 60 Tin Bar
- 60 Shadowgem OR 20 Shadowgem and 20 Small Lustrous Pearl
- 80 Heavy Stone
- 30 Moss Agate or 60 Lesser Moonstone (combination of both can work too)
- 140 Mithril Bar
- 80 Solid Stone
- 25 Citrine
- 15 Truesilver Bar
- 5 Aquamarine
- 50 Thorium Bar

- Buy 55 from any of the following gems (Or buy 40 gems and 15 Black Diamond): [Blood Garnet], [Flame Spessarite], [Deep Peridot], [Azure Moonstone], [Shadow Draenite], [Golden Draenite].Don’t buy all of them from one kind because there might be some recipes which you don’t have the reputation for, so you will have to choose other green gems. Just buy them when you get to that part of the Jewelcrafting guide.
- 10 Primal Earth
- 10 Adamantite Bar
Wrath of the Lich King
- Buy around 70 from any of the following gems: [Bloodstone], [Chalcedony], [Dark Jade], [Huge Citrine], [Shadow Crystal], [Sun Crystal].Save 5-8 [Bloodstone], [Chalcedony], [Huge Citrine] or [Sun Crystal]l for when you reach 395.

- 5 Dream Shard
Cataclysm

- 50 [Nightstone]
Pandaria
- Buy 60 from any of the following uncommon gems: [Tiger Opal], [Roguestone], [Alexandrite], [Lapis Lazuli], [Pandarian Garnet], [Sunstone] (you should have at least 5 from each)
- Buy 9 from any of the following rare gems: [River’s Heart], [Sun’s Radiance], [Vermilion Onyx], [Wild Jade] , [Imperial Amethyst], [Primordial Ruby].You will have to buy 9 from the same color.

you should continue to make [RubyPendant of Fire] up to 275. Or if you Prospected your own Ores, you will have a lot of Star Ruby and
Azerothian Diamond left, use all of them.20 x [Simple Opal Ring] – 20 Large Opal, 20 Thorium Setting

You can only buy these recipes if your faction controls Wintergrasp. One recipe costs 19 honor,which means if you stay here and do a few daily quest while the battle is on, you can buy most of therecipes.
All of these recipes are orange up to 410 and yellow up to 425.
- 420 – 425
5 x [DreamSignet] – 5 Titanium Bar, 5 Dream Shard, 5 Forest EmeraldCheck the previous part if you don’t havematerials for Dream Signet, or you can also try these alternatives below.

Make around 20 uncommon gems, or you can make 17 [Hessonite Band]

8 x [Hessonite Band] – 8 Jeweler’s Setting, 16 HessoniteYou can also make [Carnelian Spikes] if 3 Carnelian is cheaper than 2 Hessonite. You can buy the Jeweler’s Setting from thevendor.

25 x [Nightstone Choker] – 25 Jeweler’s Setting, 50 NightstoneMake more Hessonite Band if you have some Hessonite left.Rare Cataclysm gems are cheap on most realms, so making [The Perforator] between 490-500 seems very goodalternative to rings and necks.
Levels 500 – 600
Visit your trainer and learn Zen Jewelcrafting.
- 500 – 512
4 x [OrnateBand] – 4 Lapis Lazuli, 4 Tiger Opal, 4 Sunstone
- 512 – 527
5 x [Shadowfire Necklace] – 5 Roguestone, 5 Alexandrite, 5
Pandarian GarnetYou can also just continue to make more [Ornate Band].
If your main goal is to just learn every rare gem cuts. Then start making the first gem research [River’s Heart] or [Sun’s Radiance]. You can only make 1 research
a day, but it will give you 3 skill points. You will have to learn like 100 recipes, which means you will reach 600
by making these researches daily.
- 527 – 575
I could list all the recipes you learn at 525, but there is no real need for that. All of
the recipes you learn will stay orange all the way up to 575. You will learn new ones at 530, 535, 545, and so
on. Making necks, rings gets you 3 skill points for 3 uncommon gems. Each gem cut gives 1 skill point. You get
the same skill point to gem ratio either way. I would choose the necks, rings because it is usually easier for
me to sell. You will use 48 gems.
- 575 – 585
You shouldn’t make the necks or the rings because they will no longer grant you 3 skill
point. Make any uncommon gem instead. You will use around 20 gems.
- 585 – 588
Make any gem research like [Primordial Ruby]. It is up to you which one you choose,
but it’s better to choose one that you have materials for because after the research you will learn a new recipe
which you will have to make 6 times. The gem color of the recipe will be the same as the gems you used for the
research.
- 588 – 600
Cut 6 rare gem from the learned recipe.
