Jeweler - definitely! Especially since I always want more magical weapon options other then staves - Spell Foci, Wands, Runestones, all those whould fit well with jewelry crafting!

Tailor - add to clothier!

Toxicologist - add to alchemy

Carpentry - add to woodworking

Saddlery - split, saddles and bags to clothier, horse armor and horseshoes to blacksmith

Locksmith - maaaybe add to jeweler

Apothecary - add to alchemy

Iconography - add to jeweller

Bindery - likely not really such a good idea, let players add books...

The thing about normal crafting skills - they need enough "meat" to them to be viable. I assume that's why jeweller didn't make it - only rings and amulets does not make for much crafting. When one adds spell foci it becomes somewhat better... there are more options like crowns and they could of course always add more jewelry slots (bracelets, anklets, earrings... I'd love to have the jewelry adornments seperate from the other "structural" options in chargen and let people change those on a daily basis...)

Woodworking is also a bit of an "half" craft compared to the others in terms of things to research... though there are things that could be added. Player made siege engines. Player made furniture, once someday in the futurte ESO gets housing. Crossbows for bow, perhaps polearms too and so on...

Composite crafting, things that are made out of multiple material types. Spears, crossbows etc....

You mean, like axes or mauls that have a metal head and wooden haft? Or staves that have a long wooden pole yet a metal and often crystal tip? Or swords that have leather wrapping on their hilts? Medium armor with metal parts - heck, the nord medium is half chainmail as I recall...

Thing is, crafting is somewhat simplified for ESO. I wish it wasn't, I wish there your be cross-skill resource requirements... leather strips for hitl wrappings, wooden parts for axes and maces, metal parts for wooden weapons and leather armor, etc. But they decided against that. And so any new crafables will also get simplified - crossbows would be woodworking, despite the metal parts, polearms might be either blacksmith or woodworking, etc.

My main desire in crafting is Jewelry.

I would love to see craftable rings and amulets... for starters. I would also love to see craftable jewlery for other slots, stuff that didn't give anything in the way of armor, but gave other benefots. Bracers in the arm slots, circlets/crowns in the head slot, might not count as srmor, but might have special abilities of its own (a crown for example could give a special group buff if worn by the group leader, bracers could give extra spell buffs, etc.). Make people choose between protection, and effect. That's four "craftables" (rings, amulets, bracers, circlets/crowns)

Then I always rant about wanting a alternate destruction/restoration casting weapon, I say "spell focus", and I mean thing like (depending on racial style) holy symbols, ornate spellbooks, welkyn stones, gemmed skulls, shamans rattles, voodoo dolls, whatever. Could be two-handed as well to not have any advantage in terms of set pieces, casting pose would be holding focus in left hand, and operating it with right hand (turning spellbook pages, making mystic gestures above the gemmed skull, whatever). That's another four craftables (fire, ice, lightning, restoration)

Ta-daa, suddenly jeweler is as viable in terms of craftable stuff as woodworking. More, even... woodworking only has six craftables right now (shields, bows, fire, ice, lightning and restoration staves - it really could use some more... crossbows and polearms come to mind... perhaps even siege weapons... heck, I'd let them craft wooden clubs for laughs... hmmm... subduing weapons, might have an idea there...)

So blacksmithing is metalwork which should eventually bring jewelry into the fold. You are already embedding gems in weapons and armor for effect, why not a simple ring of metal?

Additionally, alchemists are able to craft poisons. The characters simply haven't figured out how to apply them to their weapons yet instead of drinking them.

Course if they handle the application like enchanting, then it would cause hilarious cases like accidentally coating your weapon with tri-potion and healing your target.

Blacksmithing and Jeweller are nothing alike.
Not even a little.
Technically a blacksmith might learn a jewellers craft too, to make "fancy" ornate weapons with gilded hilts and set gems... but many didn't, and made their swords guards and pommels functional and plain.
But where a blacksmith pounds red hot iron into shape, a jeweller pours molten silver and gold into forms. Where a blacksmith tempers and sharpens the formed steel, a jeweller will cut rough gems and set them. Two completely different skill sets.
Heck, back in medieval times, even the much closer related blacksmith and coppersmith were two different skills...

Alchemists could use a much wider range of ingredients. I am really missing eye of newt and blood of toad here - send us to farm critters for alchemical components! And then more potions, many more potions... including proper poisons, not mere potions so bad they make you sick... I want to see more then just DoT... how about a character that has to stop to barf every ten seconds? Make it worth to carry antidote potions (oh, another thing to add...)
...and some way to make potions not for drinking, but for application to weapons... maybe a differnet solvent? Something sticky, so it, well, sticks to the weapon?

Also... healing potion covered swords... that is just too funny a thought! Could be useful for faking a murder though...

and spellcrafting!!

My alchemist should have a hireling!!
