Jewelcrafting
World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade will introduce a lot of new
features to expand the game in many interesting and fun ways. One of
these additions is the introduction of a new profession:
jewelcrafting.
Jewelcrafters learn the art of creating beautiful jewelry and
trinkets from metals and rare gems. By processing the raw ore mined
from the various deposits and mineral veins, jewelcrafters can
extract gems from the ore which they can then use for their craft.
Although miners sometimes find gems while gathering ore,
jewelcrafters mostly rely on their prospecting skills to get more of
the precious stones.
Jewelcrafters work with gems in many different ways. If a
jewelcrafter uses gems to create jewelry, he usually only needs the
raw, uncut stones for his work. These rings, amulets, and trinkets
function just like those that can already be found in the game, with
a few notable exceptions. For example, jewelcrafters can learn to
create gemmed figurines that they can carry in their trinket slots.
While these figurines all provide passive benefits, they can also be
used to provide the player with a short buff – just enough to give
you that little damage boost or maybe that quick burst of extra
healing power you may need in a tricky situation. These figurines
will bind when picked up, so only jewelcrafters will be able to use
their powers.
Another way jewelcrafters can use gems is by cutting them, preparing
them to be used in socketed items. Gems come in many different
colors and shapes. Different types of gems have different basic
properties, and a gem's cut also determines the effect this gem will
have. Jewelcrafters can learn several types of cuts for each kind of
gem: the Azure Moonstone, for example, can be cut into a lustrous,
stormy, solid, or sparkling Azure Moonstone, and each one of these
cuts offers different bonuses when used in a socketable item.
Placing cut gems into an item's sockets will add the bonuses of
these gems to those of the item, allowing players to customize their
equipment to better suit their individual play style or the
different roles their class can fulfill.
At higher levels, socketed items and specially cut gems become an
important part of an adventurer's "bag of tricks". Both armor and
weapons can have sockets. Some socketed items can be found in
dungeons, but the expansion will also introduce a lot of new recipes
for all the professions, including many recipes that let
leatherworkers, blacksmiths, and tailors create socketed items.
Socketed items can be of uncommon, rare, or even epic quality. An
item's sockets can also have a specific color; if you put a gem of a
matching color in each socket, the item will reward you with a
special stat bonus beyond the gems' regular effects. However, you
can also put gems of a different color in these slots if you would
rather have a specific gem's effect instead of the added bonus.
Socketing an Item
ny character can insert gems into an item's sockets – you do not
need to be a jewelcrafter to do that. However, you will need to ask
a jewelcrafter or become one yourself to obtain most of the gems you
can socket. Another source of cut gems are the expansion's
high-level bosses. There are rumors that some of these monsters hold
stones with powers beyond those of regular gems, but getting your
hands on these jewels might prove to be a most formidable challenge;
it seems unlikely that their owners would part with their precious
stones willingly.
Socketing Instructions
- Click on any gem in your inventory to pick it up
- Click on any slot or bag space to place the gem
- See what happens when you match all socket colorsOn the right
side, you can see a preview of the current item-socketing interface
from the game. When you shift-right click a socketed item, this box
will appear, displaying the item's current stats and any gem effects
that are currently on the item. You can add new gems to the item by
placing one of the gems from your inventory into one of the item's
sockets. The interface allows you to play around with different gem
configurations, so you can try out how different gems will affect
your item before you decide on what gems you want to socket. Once
you have found a configuration you like, you can press the "Socket
Gems" button to socket the gems you picked.
Socketing gems will lock them into place, and there is no way to
remove a gem once it has been socketed. You can put a new gem into a
socket that already holds a gem, but by doing so you break the old
one out of its socket, shattering the gem and making it unusable.
This allows you to add gems to your new socketed items right away
without having to wait until you find the "perfect" collection of
gems, since you always have the option of upgrading your item later.
Try putting some gems from your inventory into the socketed item and
check out how they affect its stats; this should give you an idea of
how socketing will work in the expansion, but please keep in mind
that both the stats and the interface presented here may change as
we progress further in the development of the new jewelcrafting and
item-socketing features of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade..
