This Jewelcrafting leveling guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Jewelcrafting skill up from 1 to 300 as inexpensively as possible.
Playing Classic?
Visit my WotLK Classic Jewelcrafting leveling guide. Profession skills are split between expansions in the latest World of Warcraft expansion, you'll have a separate skill bar for each expansion, and you can level them separately. This guide is for the "Vanilla" Jewelcrafting skill in retail WoW.

Prospecting Table
You will automatically learn the Prospecting skill when you learn Jewelcrafting. You can use this skill to convert 5 raw ores into gems if you want to prospect the ores instead of buying the gems from the Auction House. (can be time-consuming)
Each ore will yield different types of gems, so I put together the table below to list all the available gems that you can get from each ore.
- Common: Each time you prospect 5x ores, you will always get at least 1 gem from the "Common" column in the table below. Sometimes you can get two common gems, so these numbers don't add up to 100%.
- Rare: There is also a chance to get 1 gem from the "Rare" column. This roll is on top of the common gem(s), so this will show up as an extra gem in your loot window.
5x Ore | Common | Rare |
---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() ![]() | ![]() |
![]() | ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Leveling Vanilla Jewelcrafting
Draenei characters have +10 Jewelcrafting skill because of their passive Gemcutting, and Kul Tiran characters have +5 from the trait
Jack of All Trades. Any extra Jewelcrafting skill means recipes stay orange for more points. You can save a lot of gold by doing lower level recipes for more points.
Before you start, you have to buy a Jeweler's Kit from the Jewelcrafting Supplies vendor near your trainer or General/Trade Goods vendors.

If you prospect your own Ores, usually you will get a lot of Lesser Moonstone too, but even if you don't prospect the Ores, sometimes 2 Lesser Moonstone is cheaper than one Moss Agate. So get the recipe

The design is sold by these NPCs.

Diamond Focus Ring. But keep in mind that you will need 7 Azerothian Diamond for the next step.
If Large Opal is too expensive on your realm, like it costs twice as much as one Star Ruby, then you should continue to make
Ruby Pendant 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.
