cheaper path for jewelry making ?

[GeorgeBlue]

I know jewelmaking is expensive.

But I was wondering if there was a cheaper path of getting skillups ? So far i am just doing things at random.

I have a dark elf enchanter, 8th level, skill at 54 from the tradeskill quests in Crescent Reach. I have done 5 silver trio breacelets.

Thanks.

edit: character is 10th level, skill is 58th. I did a bunch more silver trio bracelets, earrings, and rings.

I mainly started this character because low level trio items never seem to be on sale in Xegony bazaar anymore.

I will probably be working on raising my character's level today so she can mass enchant electrum.

The best resouce for you is like at http://mboards.eqtraders.com/eq/showthread.php?t=33385 then, as it is the method the membership of this forum has tested and believes is the cheapest and fastest method to get to 300 skill.

Uhm, I don't see any jewlry making in that thread.

The jewelry making guide at: Laziris's Guide to Jewelcraft shows a 404 page.
