Mining for materials or Alchemy for Diamond transmutes. Prospecting Fel Iron and Adamantite is the core of the JC economy.

Prerequisites and Setup Essentials

Jewelcrafting is most efficient when paired with Mining. The ability to Prospect 5x stacks of ore into raw gems can slash your leveling costs by 40-60%.

Component	Details
Best Race	Draenei (+5 Gemcutting racial) allows you to stay on cheaper recipes longer.
Core Tools	Jeweler's Kit (for jewelry) and Simple Grinder (for gem cutting).
Synergy	Alchemy (for Meta Gem transmutes) or Mining (for raw materials).

Stockpile Primal Might on early phase. Once Phase 3 hits, server prices for meta gems often fluctuate; having your own transmute cooldowns provides a significant hedge against market crashes.

1. Leveling 1-200: Classic Foundations

Focus on gathering Copper, Bronze, and Mithril. Prospecting Copper Ore is a "secret" way to get the Tigerseye and Malachite needed for early levels without touching the Auction House.

Skill	Craft	Qty	Materials Needed
1-20	Delicate Copper Wire	20	40 Copper Bar
20-30	Rough Stone Statue	10	80 Rough Stone
30-50	Tigerseye Band	20	20 Tigerseye (prospect Copper Ore), 20 Delicate Copper Wire
50-75	Bronze Setting	25	50 Bronze Bar
75-80	Solid Bronze Ring	5	20 Bronze Bar
80-110	Ring of Silver Might	30	60 Silver Bar, 30 Bronze Setting (saved)
110-120	Heavy Stone Statue	10	80 Heavy Stone
120-150	Pendant of the Agate Shield	30	30 Moss Agate (prospect Copper/Tin), 30 Bronze Setting
150-180	Mithril Filigree	30	60 Mithril Bar
180-200	Engraved Truesilver Ring	20	40 Truesilver Bar, 40 Mithril Filigree

Buy Pendant of the Agate Shield from Jabbey in Tanaris or Neal Allen in Menethil Harbor. It is often the cheapest way to bridge the 120-150 gap.

2. Leveling 200-300: The Thorium Bridge

This stage transitions from bars to heavy gem usage. Thorium is the primary gatekeeper here.

Skill	Craft	Qty	Materials Needed
200-210	Citrine Ring of Rapid Healing	10	10 Citrine (prospect), 20 Mithril Bar
210-225	Aquamarine Signet	15	45 Aquamarine (prospect), 30 Bronze Tube
225-250	Thorium Setting	25	25 Thorium Bar
250-255	Red Ring of Destruction	5	5 Star Ruby, 5 Thorium Setting
255-265	Truesilver Healing Ring	10	20 Truesilver Bar, 10 Thorium Setting
265-275	Simple Opal Ring	10	10 Large Opal (prospect), 10 Thorium Setting
275-285	Sapphire Signet	10	20 Blue Sapphire (prospect), 20 Truesilver Bar, 10 Thorium Setting
285-300	Emerald Lion Ring	15	30 Huge Emerald (prospect), 15 Thorium Setting

If Large Opals or Blue Sapphires are overpriced on your realm, you can extend the Truesilver Healing Ring up to 270 or 275, even though it turns yellow.

3. Leveling 300-375: Outland Gem Mastery

Once in Outland, speak to Kalaen (Horde) in Thrallmar or Tatiana (Alliance) in Honor Hold.

Skill	Craft	Qty	Notes / Source
300-305	Delicate Blood Garnet	5	Trainer cuts
305-315	Fel Iron Blood Ring	10	20 Blood Garnet, 10 Fel Iron Bar; Trainer
315-325	Azure Moonstone	10	20 Azure Moonstone (prospect Fel Iron), 10 Deep Peridot; Trainer
325-335	Mercurial Adamantite	10	40 Adamantite Powder (grind bars), 10 Primal Earth
335-350	Heavy Adamantite Ring	15	15 Adamantite Bar, 15 Mercurial Adamantite
350-365	Runed Living Ruby (or other reds)	15	Prospect Adamantite; Trainer/Rep
365-375	Earthstorm/Skyfire Diamond (Meta)	10	Consortium Revered; Transmute cooldowns

At 350, start cutting Runed Living Rubies. These are high-demand items for casters and can often be "flipped"—buying raw gems, cutting them, and reselling for a 20-50g profit per gem. Phase 1 prospect Fel Iron <1g/stack for gems flip.

TBC Classic Anniversary Jewelcrafting FAQs

How do I minimize costs leveling 1-200?

Stock roughly 500 Copper/Bronze Bars via Mining. Prospect all ore for 20% free gems. Avoid the Auction House during "alt rush" periods (usually weekends) when prices inflate by 50%. The Mine → Smelt → Prospect → Craft loop is the most gold-efficient method.

What is the best pairing profession for Jewelcrafting?

Mining is essential for self-sufficiency. However, for endgame performance, Alchemy is a strong second for its Meta Gem transmutes. Enchanting is also viable to disenchant the rings and necklaces you craft while leveling to recoup costs.

When does Jewelcrafting become profitable?

Profitability spikes at skill 350. Cutting "Red" gems like Living Ruby (+9 Spell Damage or +20 Attack Power) provides a steady income. Additionally, Druids often seek Raven Goddess Idols, and all classes need Meta Gems for their Tier gear.

How do I access Outland recipes efficiently?

Basic cuts are learned from trainers. More advanced designs require reputation:

Consortium (Friendly): Draenite cuts.
Lower City/Sha'tar (Honored): Rare blue gem cuts.
Keepers of Time (Revered): Unique necklaces and Meta gems.

Is the Draenei racial (+5) significant?

Yes. It allows you to learn the next tier of recipes 5 skill points earlier and keeps cheap recipes "orange" (guaranteed skill-up) for longer. Over the 1-375 journey, this can save you approximately 400-600 gold in materials.
