Quoted for your convenience:

Original Question:
Quote:
Will Old Items Have Sockets in TBC?

Quote:
No they won't. We do not plan to update old items with sockets. There will be plenty of opportunities though to get socketed items whether via questing, drops or crafted.


Followup Statement:
Quote:
Incorrect. Jewelcrafting does not produce items that can go into sockets until after you pass 300 skill.

Before then it makes rings, necklaces, trinkets, and all sorts of other things.

Quote:
This is correct. I also found the statues to be a pretty effective addition for leveling. For those that don't know, you can make one that functions similiarly to a totem and will do some healing for a bit.

Also, the jewelry that can be created can be fairly useful starting from the lower levels.


hmm edits don't seem to be working for me.

a) Your current gear wont suddenly have sockets in which you may place gems upon installation of TBC.

b) Jewelcrafters wont be able to make gems to place in new socketted items until they are fairly high skill... but the items they will be able to make until then are reasonably useful.


On a side note... I think having new resources for rings/necklaces/etc is going to be huge. It can be such a drag finding decent/useful pieces for these slots when levelling up.

/agreed. Actually there were some nice level 10-12 rings you can make with easy to find resources. simple stuff +1-2 int or sta still better than nothing.

It takes 300 skill to do anything gemmish with Jewelcrafting, and there's nothing to socket til Outland anyway. I have a feeling there won't be anything droppable with sockets at all since they're keeping JC out of the old world zones -- if you can't train it at all, you're probably not supposed to be able to make use of it.

If you need a few more tidbits about JC, click the link in my sig. Day 2 (I think) I focus just on jewelcrafting.

there are already recipes available from vendors in the current world. for example at cenarion hold. they are for rings, trinkets and headpieces, from what i've seen.
and you can get nice gems as pvp rewards (fo around 30k honour a pop).

only gems found in outland can be cut to make them socketable. but gems, stones and ore from the current world go into recipes for rings, trinkets, some armor and the figurines (=stone totem that heals you for X per second for 15 seconds).

Another useful tidbit is that prospecting Thorium Ore can result in Outlands gems, in other words you can get a headstart on gems for cutting and socketing by mining thorium before the expansion comes out.

54 Outland gems from 2910 ore prospected (582 prospects) is 9.3% yield, so it's probably a 10% chance for an Outland gem. Not very efficient, but an option to consider if you are keen to get started. The Azeroth gems is a nice bonus as well.

- 84 Blue Sapphire

- 17 Flame Spessarite
- 10 Deep Spessarite
- 10 Blood Garnet

This is somewhat related, so I thought I'd share on this thread. I noticed in beta that the raw ore is now stacking to 20 versus 10 as it is now in live.

I’m trying to decide whether to take up Jewelcrafting on one of my existing level 60 characters, several currently have two gathering skills, or if I should take this up on one of my new characters. Are there many BoP items to take into consideration?

the statues (healing totems) and most trinkets are bop, rings and necklaces are boe. some of the trinkets are really nifty, like run speed increase or stealth increase.

Thanks. I think I’ll take up jewelcrafting on one or more of my new characters. It sounds like it would be more useful for a character as he levels up. Of course I can still use my characters with 300 mining to supply the new guy with materials. *smiles*

I wouldn't worry about prospecting thorium for Outlands gems. I'd worry about prospecting thorium for thorium gems that don't come from Fel Iron.

another thing I noticed, on the low level rings at least, is that they were "unique on equip" (i forget the exact wording, i think that was it). To me that implied that the crafter could make a bunch to sell but you could only actually equip one.

Obviously it would be a pain to have to make one, put it on AH, make one, put on AH etc etc. But at the same time some of the rings looked pretty nice and I can see why they would want to limit to one.

You can only wear one if it's unique, yes. However, you can make as many as your little heart (and mats) allow, and put them on the AH all at the same time.
