WOW Jewelcrafting Gold Guide
The gamer do not need to become a jewelcrafter, so you can choose to make some
World of Warcraft gold off buying gems on the AH. The
cheap wow gold would make you save much of cash in the trading.
If you’re a Jewelcrafter, and you don’t like the prospecting gamble, you can usually buy/bid on rare quality gems, cut, and resell for more. One of my biggest profit margins and quickest sellers are Scarlet Ruby cuts (Bright, Bold, Delicate, and Rued).
The most straight forward way to making WOW Gold as profit with Jewelcrafting is cutting gems. There are couple ways to make the most money in the beginning when you first start out.
One tip is to get one desirable cut for each color gem first, before getting multiples of the same color. For example if you have Runed Scarlet Ruby, Pick a Orange or Purple recipe first before picking another red cut. This will give you more options with prospected gems. To buy the gems by using the
cheap WOW money directly will decrease much of problem in the leveling processing.
Cutting “green quality” gems yields about 15-20% of the gems becoming perfect, resulting in a 20-35g gem. The best way to calculate the value of cutting several green quality gems for AH sales would be calculated as:
price of the cut *.8 (85%) + Price of the perfect cut *.2(15%) = expected value of one gem.
Now sometimes you will get 3 perfects in a row, sometimes none. In the long run each cut will average out to the expected value.
Personally I like to cut and sell the Solid Chalcedony. I sell the solids for about 1.8g (pay 2g to buy the gems) but when I get a perfect I can get 25-30 for it. For every stack of 20 I cut I cut about 105-110 worth of gems for 40g. (Estimating conservatively) . Since these perfect gems sell for a decent amount it’s something that has to be looked at when deciding how much to spend on uncut gems to cut for profit.
If you don’t like the risk of prospecting, there are a lot of options to buy uncut “blue quality” gems on the AH and resell them for 20g+ more. Look at what the sell price of all the cuts you have and the World of Warcraft money
price of the raw gem and decide.
Don’t forget to craft enchanted pearls! The pearl can be purchased for around 15g on the ah + 1 infinite dust on my server, and I have turned around and sold them for 80g+
I recommend taking it slow in the beginning because gems do have a high list fee. This is also the only thing I list on a 24 hour auction. Since prices fluctuate hourly, I like to be able to relist and try and keep mine the
lowest WOW gold possible.
