Go to Outland and learn Jewelcrafting Master.
Now from this part of this Jewelcrafting guide, you will use recipes that are already yellow to you and since whole WoW is pretty random, you might just need 5 gems to reach your desired skill or maybe 10.
- 300-320
A nice alternative to 300-315 is this pattern:
15 x [Prismatic Black Diamond] - 15 Black Diamond
When you learn these recipes, they are already yellow. I suggest you to cut 30 from any of the following gems, then you should reach 320.
[Teardrop Blood Garnet]
[Brilliant Golden Draenite]
[Solid Azure Moonstone]
[Radiant Deep Peridot]
[Inscribed Flame Spessarite]
[Glowing Shadow Draenite]
- 320-325
Make 5-7 from any of the following gems.
[Bold Blood Garnet]
[Bright Blood Garnet]
[Gleaming Golden Draenite]
[Jagged Deep Peridot]
[Luminous Flame Spessarite]
[Royal Shadow Draenite]
[Sparkling Azure Moonstone]
- 325-335
Make around 15 from any of the following gems.
[Enduring Deep Peridot]
[Glinting Flame Spessarite]
[Runed Blood Garnet]
[Shifting Shadow Draenite]
[Thick Golden Draenite]
[Purified Jaggal Pearl] - This one turns green at 332.
- 335-340
Make 5-7 from any of the following gems.
[Dazzling Deep Peridot]
[Delicate Blood Garnet]
[Potent Flame Spessarite]You can go to Hellfire Peninsual and find Kalaen if you are Horde, Tatiana if you are Alliance. These NPCs sell the following recipes.
[Rigid Golden Draenite]
[Sovereign Shadow Draenite]
[Smooth Golden Draenite]
- 340 - 350
You can continue to make the gems above also, I just don't really like to use green recipes for any profession.
5-7 x [Heavy Adamantite Ring] - 1 Adamantite Bar, 1 Mercirual Adamantite
350 - 450
Go to Northrend and learn Jewelcrafting Grand Master.
- 350 - 395
Buy around 55 from any of the following gems, after 375 the recipes will be yellow so you might need less or more.[Bloodstone]
[Chalcedony]
[Dark Jade]
[Huge Citrine]
[Shadow Crystal]
[Sun Crystal]Cut any random gem you want. Seriously there are like 50 new green gem recipes, I won't list all of them. Go to your trainer, learn one and make that recipe around 55 times.
- 395 - 400
Make 5 from any of the following items:
5 x [Bloodstone Band] - 5 Bloodstone, 10 Cristallyzed Earth
5 x [Crystal Chalcedony Amulet] - 5 Chalcedony, 10 Cristallyzed Earth
5 x [Crystal Citrine Necklace] - 5 Huge Citrine, 10 Cristallyzed Earth
5 x [Sun Rock Ring] - 5 Sun Crystal, 10 Crystallized Earth
- 400 - 420
23 x [Stoneguard Band] - 46 Eternal Earthor
23 x [Shadowmight Ring] - 23 Eternal Earth, 23 Eternal Shadow
- 420 - 425
You better make this yellow recipe until it turns green, because after this there will be only meta gems, and they are a lot more expensive. Forest Emerald is usually the cheapest gem.
7 x [Dazzling Forest Emerald] - 7 Forest Emerald
- 425 - 440
Buy 15 [Skyflare Diamond] or [Earthsiege Diamond]
There are plenty of meta gem recipes, choose one of them and make it 15 times. You can learn some recipes from your trainer, and some of them are sold by Tiffany Cartier in Dalaran, there is also a lot of them dropped by bosses and mobs around Northrend.
- 440 - 450
There is no point in leveling further than 440. If you want to level further, just continue to make meta gems.
