Jewelcrafting Guide for TBC Classic Anniversary

TBC Jewelcrafting TL;DR

• Jewelcrafting in TBC is all about prospecting ore, cutting gems, and crafting jewelry.

• Outland prospecting is especially strong due to a steady, uncommon gems drop chance and occasional rare gem jackpots.

• Jewelry crafting has limited early value. Figurine – Nightseye Panther is the standout early item.

• Always adapt your 300–375 leveling track based on Auction House prices and available recipes.

• Not every ore is worth prospecting. Profit depends entirely on the server economy.

• Master Jewelcrafting is trained in Hellfire Peninsula, Shattrath, or Netherstorm.

• Jewelcrafting stays profitable throughout all expansions due to constant demand for gems and cuts.

How Jewelcrafting Works in TBC

TBC’s professions are not as complicated as the Retail ones, and Jewelcrafting is not an exception. As a jewelcrafter, you’re going to be doing 3 things:

1. Prospect ore into gems

2. Cut gems to get specific-statted gems

3. Craft jewelry items to level up your skill and maybe fill niche AH markets

Prospecting is the main engine of your profession. It’s essentially gambling - you trade 5 ores for a chance at rare gems. In Outland, this is especially important because you can pull uncommon gems needed for leveling and early gearing phases, and occasional rare gems for big profit.

Jewelry item crafting is gimmicky early in the TBC. The only really valuable item available early on is Figurine - Nightseye Panther, which is in demand for Rogue players. Other than that, crafted items are almost completely useless.
