Introduction
The Jewelcrafting trade skill in New World Aeternum 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 contains a recommended method to level jewelcrafting. There are various ways to achieve 250 jewelcrafting, and you are in no way restricted to this method. Below is an efficient way to hit level 250 in jewelcrafting. Before we start lets look at some things to consider during the leveling process.
First Craft Bonus
You get a “First Craft” XP bonus for each unique item you craft. This XP bonus is a 3x bonus. Be sure to utilize this when possible as you level your armoring!
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 and fragments 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.
0-250 Leveling Table
The below table lists the items you will want to craft in level increments. Sometimes there are various options within each level range. You can utilize these variations if you have the materials on hand, or stick to one of the options within that range. The estimated amount of items listed is assumes you are only crafting that particular item to hit the next level threshold. However, if you’re utilizing the first craft bonus or crafting other items within that range then the quantity needed would reduce.
When crafting jewelry it’s recommended that utilize the gems that currently the cheapest option when you’re crafting.
