If you don’t own Summerset, you will still be able to find Jewelry Crafting resource nodes to sell, and you will also be able to purchase crafted jewelry from others. Set jewelry will be BoE, non-set will not be bound. Additionally, you will not be able to deconstruct any jewelry you're currently holding onto prior to Summerset launch.
We're currently working on a very extensive Jewelry Crafting article that we plan to publish before we start the next PTS cycle, which will hopefully answer a lot more questions.
So I’m posting this because it’s actually a pretty big deal. Many players have stashed their Gold jewelry for a very long time in anticipation of Jewelry Crafting finally launching. Personally I have exactly 213 Gold jewelry pieces that I have held onto specifically to deconstruct (after keeping all that I need) - about a 1.5yrs of raiding. Nevermind how this affects me though..... obviously I’m going to have a bias here lol. I personally dislike that they’re doing this and know many players in a similar situation who feel the same.
I want to know what you all think about this. Should Gold Jewelry earned prior to Summerset launch be deconstructable?

✭Anyone who's been around this game long enough knows that a.) if advanced information could be exploited, the info won't be let out; and b.) when advanced info is released early, there is always some mechanic that is put in to prevent it being exploited 'beforehand'

✭✭✭✭✭As someone who has a ton of jewelry already, this seems like a fair rule.
It isn’t going to take long for the basement-dwelling neckbeards to acquire pieces (when the chapter releases) anyway.27 -

✭✭✭✭✭I like it this way. It will prevent people from maxing out the craft line on day 1.
Also, you've been saving jewellery for years even before jewellery crafting was announced. If ZOS decided to never release jewellery crafting, you would be in the same position anyway.41 -

I stashed it all on one of my pack mules. Easy storage. Was hoping it would be profitable one day though
I guess that character will have to hold onto something else now. Edited by Vaoh on March 30, 2018 2:56AM0 -

Yup, same.
Might make enough gold to buy a few flowers.... for the funeral of the poor character that held the jewelry for years.9 -

And not only is he in the same position, hes actually better off.
Now you can empty out all those useless jewelry pieces and finally have some free storage space!
See? Silver linings.Edited by Yo_Donno on March 30, 2018 3:00AM2 -

Yup!
Despite this gamble not paying off, I would have done the same if given another chance. I took the safe route - in the end it’s a win/win scenario. All outcomes are good for me.
Had the jewelry been deconstructable I would have hated myself for not saving everything.4 -
cjhhickman39✭✭✭✭Well let’s try and shine a ray of hope for something better than easy mats.
Hopefully the reason behind this is more than they just want to mess us. Perhaps it’s because the new rings will be able to be transmog?
The new station setup will only recognize the new rings so hopefully they code in trait change because you know if they don’t there will be hundreds of threads asking for it.0 -
elantaura✭✭✭✭I saved too but i had a feeling because I also saved surveys and I remembered that not granting housing mats.

✭✭✭✭✭Meh, i'm more glad we get jewelry crafting than i'm upset about not being able to deconstruct old items ... 5 -
Eiagra✭✭✭✭✭Bummer. Not surprised, and not upset about it, but it would've been nice to get a little bit of a head start on my main crafter. Ah well.
Not sure how I feel about it yet, but seeing that non-Summerset players will be able to access Jewel nodes is interesting. I usually craft for folk for free/tips, provided they have all the materials needed. This will allow them to collect stuff in anticipation of hiring a jewelry crafter. Conversely, though, that means thinning the resources out overall for a bit until crafters get a chance to hoard materials.
Not a big deal in the long run, but hopefully people don't leave garbage behind in the nodes like they do everywhere else. (I'm looking at you, cloth/alchemy node hunters leaving behind crawlers...)
Looking forward to the full info article either way.██████ █████████ ███████ In verity.1 -

My guess is - Yes. I would imagine the new jewelry will require a completely different coding in order for all the jewelcrafting functions to work. Deconstruction, improvement, transmutation, etc. Current jewelry drops as a single item. No material, no "canvas" to paint. Just an inanimate object that stays the way you found it until eternity.
If they're not going to apply the deconstruction coding retroactively, it would be safe to suppose that none of the other features will work either. Your "old" jewelry will still be functional as it is now, this will just start everyone else off on the same foot and put a new emphasis on redoing content again to acquire jewelry that can be interacted with.

And by the way -- if we also can't use old jewelry for trait research, on the three traits it has, there will be a major uproar.3 -

Aesthier✭✭✭✭✭I see one major issue that may be caused if they go through with that plan.
Guild vendors and buying jewelry to dismantle.
How will people, when accessing guild vendors, be able to tell the difference between jewelry that is able to be dismantled and that which isn't?10 -

@ArchMikem That’s probably the main reason I’m not so upset over it. For me to have a small headstart would be okay. But a 213 deconnable gold jewelry headstart?.... it’s kind of too much lol.
Plus anyway, it’ll be kind of cool having a new crafting skill line to level up overtime.0
