Jewelcrafting has been one of my favorite professions in MoP. I’ve discovered new cuts almost every day since release and I’ve made a lot of gold. Not everyone has had this much success though. So let’s take a look at why I think Jewelcrafting is one of the best professions to make gold with.
Cuts
So not every cut is profitable, and most profitable ones are really competitive. But it’s relatively easy to use a combination of TradeSkillMaster and other addons (explained in “The System”) to auto-magically purchase, cut and post every single cut you have. So long as you keep discovering new cuts and expanding your macros you should be able to bring in thousands of gold, depending on your realm’s size and competition, every day.
You don’t have a lot of control over which cuts you’ll discover, but here are some of my favorite sellers.
* as you can see the Primordial Ruby is where the party is at.
- Stormy River’s Heart (+320 PvP Power) – Peeps love this PvP gem
- Brilliant Primordial Ruby (+150 Intellect) – This is a best seller to most casters
- Delicate Primordial Ruby (+150 Agility)
- Bold Primordial Ruby (+160 Strength)
- Potent Vermilion Onyx (+80 Intellect & +160 PvP Resilience)
- Perfect Artful Tiger Opal (+80 Intellect & +160 Mastery)
- Perfect Reckless Tiger Opal (+80 Intellect & +160 Haste)
Jewel Rings
Jewelcrafting isn’t just for cutting gems. They can also make some bad ass jewelry. The funny thing is, most Jewelcrafterrs don’t know that they can make money this way because the recipes are not at the major trainers. To find these crafts, you’ll need to visit Mai the Jade Shaper in Greenstone Village in Jade Forest. Here’s a screen shot of where she’s hiding:

She will teach you the following crafts:
Each of these 6
Serpent’s Eyes which are often thrown away after prospecting or sold on the auction house for dirt cheap by players who don’t know what else to do with them.
You can sell these at a really good price on the auction house to new level 90s. They are all iLvl 450 and each have their purpose.
Other ways
There are other ways to make gold with Jewelcrafting, including pairing your JC with an enchanter and doing the Ghost Iron Shuffle, or making metas but we’ll go into those in more detail in the future.
