JEWELCRAFTING
Like the name suggests, this profession allows players to create beautiful jewelry within ESO. As with other crafting professions, it is necessary to extract raw materials into craftable ingredients. Gemstones are required and are extracted from ore. Ten ore of the same type are consumed per prospecting attempt in an attempt to extract 1-5 gemstones. This will destroy the ore in the process. The Prospecting passive will improve your chance of extracting gemstones. You will also require precious metal (copper, silver, gold, and platinum) to construct the base item, such as: crowns, rings, and necklaces. There are seven levels of gemstone quality, namely Normal, Fine, Flawless, Perfect, Radiant, Illustrious, and Exquisite. Gemstones bought from vendors will always be of Normal quality. Quality can be increased with polishing. Polishing is synonymous with Tempers from Blacksmithing. The Polishing Expertise passive will increase your chance of improving items with polishing. Gemstone Cuts are synonymous with Traits, whereby adding special properties to the crafted item. Players will learn Gemstone Cuts via Jewelcrafting Recipes, which can be found throughout the world of Tamriel (highest level recipes will be dropped from bosses). There is a wide assortment of recipes and have various levels of rarity, namely Fine, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. The Jeweler Design passive will allow the use of said recipes. Here is a possible layout...
