Information
Gems are searchable in the Auction House under the heading of Gem with the gems then broken up by color so you can search for all gems of a specific color.
- The jewelcrafting UI has gems split up by color so it is easier to find gems of a specific color to create.
- A new set of more powerful gems can be found by raiding Hyjal and Black Temple. Their stats exceed those of previous gems that could be found.
- Prospecting always yields at least 1 gem.
- Grand Master Jewelcrafters Hamanar (Shattrath City), Jazdalaad (The Stormspire), Kalaen (Thrallmar) and Tatiana (Honor Hold) may teach all levels of Jewelcrafting.
- Grand Master Jewelcrafter Hamanar (Shattrath City) is in the Aldor faction. Do NOT choose Scyers as a faction if you are a jewelcrafter, otherwise you cannot be trained in Shattrath!
