Frequently Asked Questions About Jewelcraft in EQ
Q How do I make (Whatever)?
A Go to www.eqtraders.com and look it up!
Q How do I make (Some rumored, RL, or other recipe not listed)?
A If it's not there, and it's not on the message board (Check back a couple pages to be sure), NOBODY KNOWS! Most likely it isn't implemented yet, and may never be implemented. At the very least, nobody has discovered the recipe. Feel free to post attempts and DNC messages, but please check to be sure you're not repeating somebody.
Q Why doesn't my jewelry have any stats?
A You need to enchant the metal before using it to have enchanted jewelry. The enchant silver, gold, etc. spells are for Enchanters only, so you need to be an enchanter or have access to one to make stat jewelry.
Q What can I do with a gemcutter?
A Take one gemcutter and one uncut hyacinth and put into a jewelry bag. Have a high-level jeweler combine these items and you receive the faceted Hyacinth.
As far as we know, this is all we have figured out. All other uses are rumors, hoaxes, or wishful thinking. The Gemcutter is made by tinkering, a gnome-only skill.
Q Can I remove gems from jewelry?
A No. The idea gets brought up every so often, but you can not remove the gem from any player-made or dropped jewelry, sorry.
Q What about Imbued stuff?
A You'll need an imbued gem, mainly a cleric spell I believe that takes a regular gem, and the enchanted metal. Velium results in DNC. Use of imbued gems restricts wearing to followers of that deity, though they can be made by jewelers of any deity, including agnostic. Stats for Imbued, as well as non-imbued, items can be found at www.eqtraders.com as usual.
Q Why should I do Jewelcraft?
A You can make powerful stat-enhancing jewelry, plus do a few quests. However, unless you have the services of an enchanter (yourself or a friend) it'll be uphill work all the way.
Q How do I make (jewelry for a specific slot)?
A Each gem/metal combination makes a particular kind of jewelry. If it doesn't make the kind you want, you are out of luck.
Q Does enchanting metal increase skill faster?
A No, but it does make the pieces sell for more. If you have the time to enchant the metal, go ahead, but if you have to pay for the service, don't bother, since early on you'll fail too often for it to matter.
Q Where can I get the supplies I need to make my jewelry?
A Merchants across Norrath sell a variety of jewelcrafting items, including the jeweler's kit. Check the Jewelcraft Trade Supplies list at EQ Traders for a complete breakdown.
Some jewels are not sold by merchants. You will either have to loot these off of a mob, acquire from an NPC or purchase them from another player.
Q I can't find emeralds, rubies, etc. in Freeport. Where are they!?
A For some reason, certain gems are not sold in Freeport. Some that are also spell components are sold in East Commons at the inn closest to the WC zone. The closest place for a more complete supply is either Neriak or Highpass depending on your factions.
Q Where can I find Fire Opals?
A With the release of the Luclin Expantion, Verant has seen it fit to add Fire Opals to the selling stock of various gem vendors around the world. So next to Genni - mentioned below you will now find Fire Opals on Vendors as well.
There is a quest NPC (Genni) in the Temple of Solusek Ro that gives you a Fire Opal if you hand her 55pp (she asks for 550 gold, but 55pp works fine.
Genni can be found in the Temple of Solusek Ro at the following coordinate ( X MARKS THE SPOT )!
Q I got these real cool Chipped gems off the Geonids in Crystal Caverns, they have stats on them, yet I cannot put them into any slot. Can these in any way be used to make Jewelery using the Jewelcraft items?
A No, currently there is no use for those gems in any tradeskill. You can use them only to sell them to the NPC vendors for cold hard coins.
Q I am hunting various monsters to get chipped and flawed gems to use with the Velious Quest Armors and I found a lot of gems that are not used in the quests, yet have similar names. Can these in any way be used to make Jewelery using the Jewelcraft items?
A No, currently there is no use for those gems other then selling them to the NPC vendors for cold hard coins.
Q What stats inflence my skilling up and succesrate in jewelcraft?
A You'll find a complete discussion of this in the FAQ Forum, in the Stats and Tradeskills post.
Q Were there any new jewelcraft recipes added with Luclin?
A No
Q What about all the new gems from Luclin? They MUST have some jewelcraft use!
A No
Q C'mon, DenMom, I know you're holding out on me! What are the new Luclin jewelcraft recipes?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!
A There are NO known Luclin jewelcraft recipes at this time. Spamming my mailbox or these message boards will not change this answer.
Q What is Lacquer, and where do I get it?
A Lacquer is used in making Lacquered Gems, which in turn are used in making some nice pottery items.
You can find lacquer merchants on the supplies page.
Q What are the trivial skill levels for (whatever) jewellry?
A Please refer to the following site Gumkak's Stuffz an' Tinkz.
Gumkak has put together a wonderful tool, just be sure to follow the directions.
Q What should I charge for my crafted Jewelery?
A It's pretty common practice to charge 2 times the cost of materials for jewel crafted items. There are often exceptions for rare items (blue diamonds) or high-failure-rate items.
You have to decide what you wish to charge, what the market on your server will bear, and other factors which are unique to each servers economy.
