Jewelcrafting Leveling Guide


In New World, the Jewelcrafting profession offers the ability to craft rings, earrings, and necklaces.

The leveling guide has been designed to utilize the lowest level items possible. In many cases, it is possible to substitute lower-level resources with higher-quality ones. This will increase the minimum gear score possible from the items you craft but will not allow you to gain more profession experience.

The leveling guide has been built assuming you will gather all the raw resources yourself, however you’re free to purchase refined materials from the Trading Post to speed up your leveling experience. Just be aware that if you purchase refined materials at lower levels, but choose to gather higher level raw resources, you may not have the required refining profession skill. For example, if you buy all your Iron Ingot and Steel Ingot, you may not have the required smelting skill if you decide to gather Starmetal Ore for smelting into Starmetal Ingot.

The way you choose to level Jewelcrafting will largely depend on:

  • Your preference for gathering
  • Which resources are readily available on your server/town Trading Post
  • Town crafting station upgrades
  • Scarcity of the items you choose to craft and ultimately sell on the Trading Post

If you’re going to be selling the items you craft, it’s best if you craft one ring/earring/amulet type in each section. As you craft successive items the gear score available from crafting that item will increase. Higher gear scores mean more money for you when you go to sell the items on the Trading Post. You’ll only want to be posting items that roll decent stats and you can just salvage all the rest of it to return some resources to your hands.

The leveling guide will be split into four sections to simplify gathering materials. It will involve leveling 0-70, 70-100, 100-150, and 150-200. It is best to gather materials for each of the sections separately – you are unlikely to be able to store the resources you need for the 0-200 leveling process in one location anyway.

Importantly, you need to make sure the town you are in has the appropriate upgrades for the crafting stations you will need to use. This may mean you need to move to other towns to refine material or to craft Jewelcrafting items. It is also useful to pick a location where the town taxes on crafting are low so that you don’t deplete your gold pile unnecessarily.

The guide below is designed for rings, but you can apply it to earrings and amulets using the same amount of resources. Simply swap out the Silver Band for:

  • Silver Hook if you want to make earrings
  • Silver Chain if you want to make amulets

Making Rings to Sell

Prior to starting the Jewelcrafting leveling process, you will need to level up your Stonecutting to at least level 57. That is unless you plan on buying all the refined materials from the Trading Post.
