Below is a detailed walk-through on how to level Jewelcrafting 1-525 easily and efficiently. This leveling guide is as complete as I can make it but some players may have to purchase extra Jewelcrafting materials due to sometimes not getting a point from a yellowed item. Some players may also find that making different items is cheaper on your server. In total, expect to spend 12,000g more or less leveling Jewelcrafting (Note: Most players should be able to recover ALL of their gold back or more depending on the server's economy by selling the crafted items and enchanting mats on the Auction House). Please enjoy this Jewelcrafting 1-525 Leveling Guide and if you have any questions or feedback feel free to post them on our forums.

  Required Materials:
  25 x [Zephyrite] - Prospecting is likely the way to go on these if the AH is empty. Make sure you don't use any [Jasper], [Carnelian], [Nightstone] or [Hessonite], or [Alicite] as you may need these in the next steps.
