Jewelcrafting!Follow

Allows you to craft jewels.

Highley likely that this is specifically for use with socketed items, in a simlar way that you can add stats to an item with an enchant.

Hehehe Im figuring this will just be yet another gold sink for me to dump money down.

Yeah i hope this dosent tie into socketed items beceause im not really into soceted items in the 1st place beceause it would make enchainting useless beceause wich would you rather have a fiery and an unholy proc or just a fiery?....But if it isnt dealing with soceted items it could be an awesome tradeskill considering the number of neclaces and rings are few. I just hope it can also maake trinkets.....

You know what we know from the blizz site. Everything else rumor related is not confirmed.

ahhh crap there goes enchanting

This Poor attatude makes me scoff, can we take a moment and remember some of the "Well Blizzard is going to mess everythign up" moments.

ZOMGOD Pallies are getting a ranged attack, This is going to mess up the game forever and distroy ballance, Way to go Bliz, way to ***** up the whole game, Pallies dont need range.

ZG will distroy the current Endgame content, Think of all the time i spent in MC now all my gear will be worthless because the drops in this eazy 20 man raid will make gettign better gear eazer than I had it, Thanks Bliz!

WFT Feral druids with the new patch can have 10K armor and generate extra thret with attacks, Heck who needs warriros now,Thanks Bliz! Way to ***** up the game!

Well now hutners are useless, they broke my MS and aimed shot, Pets are still useless in a instance, my dammage went down, and Fein Death is now more resistable, Gawd Bliz Thanks for the stealth nerf!

Holy snot stuns are resistable, way to make rogues useless, guess i have to be a backstab rogue now since my mace spec is USELESS!!!!

The new ones are no diffrent, folks crying about BloodElfs hunters, enchanting being useless.... why not sit on your hands, then you dont look like a idoit when everything works out ok.

Untill you see the sepcs on jewls and socketed items, why not act an adult and let the folks that made the game figure it out.


Side Note on socketing, most likely gems will go in to a socket for gems,and NOT occupy the enchant slot for a item.

Holy Snot Mokonojoko, you jumped on the bliz messed up the game bandwagon and you didnt evern look in to what the profession is aobut? , you just started seeing the negetive? Man Thats silly.

Just to summ it up, jewlcrafting is going to be used to make rings and necklaces(has this

Ruined

Enchanting yet?). Secondly they will make Jewls, Theese will be items that fit in to a "Socket" and provide a bonus of some sort(still dont see how this affects enchanting other than reading soembodys speculaion and runnign with it like a negetive nancy) Socketed itmes will be new items that have a slot in them to place player made gems, MEANING that if I have a Twig of the Wrold tree, I cannot just go put a gem in it(like I can just put a enchant on it), the item has to be a spcial item that is Socketed.

Just some notes on Bliz and socketed items/ jewls

This idea is NOTING NEW, it was a idea that they put in to Diablo II , and it worked out well. Now take the folowing with a grain of salt, as this is a diffrent game, but the basics are probly the same.

In D2 socketd itmes came in 3 flavors, items that had their magical property that they had sockets, this was usualy limited to 1-3 sockets(even on the huge stuff like armor or 2 handed weapons, Next were items that became socketed, this was done with a quest, allowing you to put one socket in a exesting magic item, and was limited on how menny items you could ever socket, and finaly the generic socketed items, they had no magic properties what so ever. They were like a grey or white soward, they had nothing special, no magic properties, but could come with a pile of sockets, so players could make magic items with jewls and gems, they coudl have lots of sockets, up to 6.

Who know what they will change, or if any of the old D2 socketing methods will cross over, but complaining about it before it is out is just silly.

Ummm visite a trainer, all pallies got a ranged attack, requres target to be below 20% HP.

you have to be level 44 I believe. At least, that's when I got it. Don't get too excited, it's mainly to finish off PvE runners.

jewels could turn out to be one more thing that we could enchant, increasing the demand and giving enchanters a bigger market. this is just speculation, of course, but i think it'd work well if jewels where able to be removed and switched between weapons.
assuming that jewels and enchants can be active at the same time, jewels should make enchants even more necessary. think about it. presently, the folks that spend time farming or crafting and make a good living are the ones that could afford enchants. poor/lazy people just have standard, no enchant, items. now, those lazy people could end up with a jewel drop or be able to buy one (at least a cheap one). Now, that rich person is at a disadvantage if they don't get an enchant. All other things being equal, the player with the enchants wins. we just have to count on people's desire to be the best. You want to win, then you want jewels AND enchants.

i think what they mean by sockets is that u may have ur jewels in the sockets which increase the stats but i take from wat i have read about it that u can have enchants as well as the jewels as the gems take up their own slots. i dont know this for sure but i think that is one reason why they have come up with the slots for the gems. this is how i have interpreted the information it ight not be correct but it does get rid of the gems negating enchanting.
