I would love to see this in the game, a much needed addition.

Any news by ZOS for which Update 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, ... to expect this?

Eventually.

Why do we need MORE jewelry crafting? While we can't MAKE jewelry we can change any piece to be whatever we want. Seems like we already have 90% of what's needed.

This would be a great idea for the special date 05.05.2015!

I hope they will have stations at the various Crafting locations

Sorry, not getting it. We CAN'T craft armor or weapons for any of the sets that include Jewelry today, so I see that as a general expansion of the crafting (something I don't think is planned).

Maybe I'm dumb but, Arcane Necklace??

What we can't do today is craft the basic ring or necklace. So Gold items are extremely rare. But we can change them to have any trait we want, right?

You can't change the trait, only the bonus (hp/stam/magicka regen, damage, etc) via glyphs.

I also think jewelry crafting should be included.

In order for them to implement jewelry crafting, EVERY set in the entire game would have to be re-balanced. If we could craft set jewelry, we could come up with some insanely OP combinations.

I really don't believe they would be any more OP than the combinations now. All the most sought after sets all come with jewelry anyway. Warlock, Healers, Shadow Walker, Hawk's Eye, etc. etc.

Would running 5 pieces of Seducer and 5 pieces of Mangu's Gift really be that much more OP than running 5 Seducer and 5 Warlock? I submit it would be a step backwards.

IMO, the elite dropped sets are far superior to any crafted set bonuses AND the elite dropped sets usually include jewelry already.

OK, got it. But shouldn't we be able to weapon and armor craft then too? We can't change the trait on any armor/weapon. We can make a few limited traits, but not craft the vast majority of the traits in the game.

I am on the fence about this issue myself as currently the inability to craft jewelry is what makes many of the drop sets worth the work to obtain. This is certainly the case with healer and warlock as no one would pick either over seducer except for the jewelry aspect. Furthermore, most of the best sets do not drop with jewelry. Both of the best dps sets in the game (vicios ophidian and infalible aether) are armor only requiring the player to grind massively for gear as they are bind on pick up and must be coupled with other drop sets fore jewelry many of which are also bind on pick up. The mechanics of gearing a max toon would be changed dramatically if you could just go Infalible Aether Seducer instead of trying to find the warlock, soulshine, or healer. I can't say I would mind being able to do that but I have noticed each incremental change in the game from bind on pick up sets to random traits and weights for items has made it exponentially harder to gear as well as can be done so I don't expect jewelry crafting will ever happen as Zenimax has gotten reliably stingier rather than more generous with rewards.

Did you know that your chances of getting the shoulders you want from a daily pledge are 1/126 even if you don't care about trait and only weight. It is very unlikely at this rate to ever get the 2 peice set even if you fully level 2 max level toons in undaunted rank. I did that leveling and did not get a mephalas shoulders of any weight actually. At that rate it is also quite insane to attempt to grind for it as you would be looking at 60 or so hours of group play for a decent chance of success. I might also add that this is a cake walk compared to trying for Warlock rings now days. It is just not the pattern that Zenimax has shown to make gearing more easy for a serious player and jewelry sets are the primary driver for getting players to do AA, HRC, and DSA at the moment. This especially since some of those master weapons have really not lived up to billing. A boost do destructive touch? Seriously, nobody uses that ability or it's morphs. Boost crushing shock or better yet heavy attacks FTW.

I'm just saying don't hold your breath on jewelry crafting. I'm not even sure I want it as I have secured a warlock set, healer set, and footmans set at considerable time and expense. Having craftable jewelry would massively rebalanced the value of these. All that being said, who wouldn't want to run seducer with infallible aether.

I don't get why people are so worried about jewelry crafting stations being available at various places for crafting set pieces. As it stands now you can wear to full sets of dropped gear ie. the Warlock set and the Soul Shine set, or you can wear a full set of crafted and a full set of dropped. SO why are people so worried about others wearing to fully crafted sets?
