Jewelcrafting Levelling Guide

Jewelcrafting is a skill that you can level in New World, and it can increase your attribute stats such as focus, constitution and the rest of the attributes. Jewelcrafting can also give better stats such as increasing your taunt and threat by 100+% or you can reduce your threat by a %. This is good for either tank, great axe or hammer players whilst reduced threat is good for lifestaff users and mages with either fire or ice gauntlet. There are many other gems you can use and these are just basic examples!

Jewelcrafting is seen as a late-game skill to level as you’ll be changing gear so often that putting gems on gear will mean they will get destroyed. Therefore you should only use tiers 1-3 as destroying these won’t be that sad! Save the higher tiers for your forever gear. With Jewelcrafting you can create a bunch of gems or accessories. Such as rings, earrings and amulets. These are easy to make and can increase stats on your character very easily and if you make cheap ones to start with then you can always upgrade as your level increases.

Jewelcrafting is a great use for your gold and silver that you’ve smelted but can’t find a use for! In the outfitting station, if you scroll down, you’ll find silver settings, silver chains, silver hooks and silver bands then eventually when you level up your Jewelcrafting you’ll be able to make gold bands, chains, settings and hooks. This is one of the main uses for silver and gold then eventually platinum when you get to the level where you can mine, smelt and craft platinum objects.

By using these resources, it will also level your Jewelcrafting level just to get your stock levels lower. It is worth getting your level up as late game it will become vital you have better gems as it will help you when fighting dungeons and some gems are better for PvP than others.

For late game, you’ll need to see what gems are best for your build for example all the lifestaff mains will need an amber gem in the secondary weapon because the amber gem takes a % of the focus attribute and converts it onto your weapon! This is huge therefore make sure you read all the gems and add all the gems that are relevant to you!

To level your Jewelcrafting you need to cut your gems at the stonecutting table. This is easy to do, and you’ll pick them up easily through quests or mining as extra rewards. The gems can come in clutch however you won’t want them straight away as you’ll keep upgrading your armour and the gem will be wasted. So don’t use the big boy pristine gems as they’ll be wasted and disposed of when you upgrade your gear. It’s fine to use tier 1 or 2 because they are easily replaceable. Therefore, you don’t want to focus on this at a crazy early level, unless that’s what you want to do and specialise in.

To level up your Jewelcrafting quickly and efficiently you need to bulk craft the flawed amulets because they give good exp and don’t take many resources to make. You can make any of them as they give the same experience and cost the same in resources. However, if you have a stockpile of carnelian gems then make a load of them as early levels these are the most important and any spares you may have crafted can be sold at a profit on the market! So, make sure any spare gems that you have laying around in storage you could be sitting on wasted levelling and of course, you’ll get experience for your main level at the same time! So why waste a “win-win” situation!

Running around Aeternum with finding random gems whilst you’re mining can be good but why not learn to Jewelcraft efficiently by following the tips below!
