Introduction
The Jewelcrafting Trade Skill in New World allows players to craft rings, amulets, earrings, and gemstone dust. We will cover all this and more in our New World Jewelcrafting Guide.
Jewelcrafting in New World
To get started with Jewelcrafting you will need to gather resources to craft, mostly gems and precious metal. Once the resources have been obtained you will be using the Outfitting Station (Spool of Thread icon on map) to craft. Walk up to the crafting station and press your default to interact button, “E”, to open the crafting window.
Leveling Jewelcrafting
Information in this section is a recommended way to level your Jewelcrafting. It’s expected that you will diverge from it depending on material availability, refining proc chances, and market price values. Chances are you will diverge based on the information provided in the Fused Gems section below.
Proc chances are not taken into consideration for the refining process as it is not the only method of obtaining the materials to craft and the proc chance depends on level & resources used. Some players may want to spend gold to buy all/some of the materials from the trade stations.
First Craft Bonus
Once a day you get a “First Craft” double XP bonus for each unique item you craft. Be sure to utilize this when possible as you level Jewelcrafting! For Instance, make sure to craft a necklace with multiple types of gems as you start the day leveling, THEN, switch to the cheapest gem possible. You will still need to be aware of the cost of the gem and make sure the gems aren’t double the price of the cheapest gem possible.
Salvaging Jewelry
Salvaging for Jewelry is a bit different than other items. You have a small chance of getting the same-tier gem back and a high chance of getting a lower-tier gem back. It is only 1 tier lower than before if it is not the same tier salvaged. For example, salvaging an item that used a Tier 5 gem you will likely get the Tier 4 version of that gem back.
Using Scraps to Level
You can utilize scraps from a perfect salvage to quickly level any applicable trade skill. This is a great way to obtain a boost to your trade skill experience. To learn all about perfect salvages and how to use scraps you can check out our Perfect Salvage Guide.
