Intro
- Minimum skill level to unlock dailies: 475
- Only one daily requires you to kill level 80 mobs, so your low level Jewelcrafter can do these regularly in the comfort of your home city.
- Start doing these JC dailies now, the method of obtaining recipes is the same as it was in Wrath.
- Huge profits can be had due to the slow acquisition of gem cuts, take advantage of this
- See this page for more information on Cataclysm gems and other crafted items.
Jewelcrafting Dailies
Alliance:
Horde:
The Fire Prism can be considered a daily as well. It is on a 20 hour cooldown and requires 16 uncommon gems, 3 of each color. The prism contains rare gems and a small chance to obtain Chimera’s Eye, which can save you a daily token and put it towards recipes instead.

Cataclysm Jewelcrafting Recipes
Full List of JC Recipes from the vendor.
- Crafted BOE Blue Gear – 5 tokens
- Meta Gem Cuts – 4 tokens
- Rare Gem Cuts – 3 tokens
- Chimera’s Eye Cuts – 3 tokens
- Chimera’s Eye – 1 token
Notes
- The quests that involving cutting 3 uncommon gems requires you to cut them after you obtain the quest.
- If you proc a “perfect” gem, it will not count towards the 3 total.
- However, cutting 3 satisfies the quest requirement and you can turn in any pre-cut non-perfect ones from you inventory.
- Stardust No. 2 can be used on yourself, NPC’s, other players, and the quest giver.
- Elemental Goo drops from Cataclysm elementals, but we are not sure which zone is the fastest for each faction yet.
Other items
Chimera’s Eye is a reagent for JC only gems, jewelery and Rhinestone Sunglasses. The item is not soulbound, similar to a Dragon’s Eye and can be sold and traded. This early in the expansion, it may be wise to save your tokens for recipes and buy any Chimera’s Eye you need from a profit standpoint.
Figurines
Jewelcrafting Quest Drops
These are BOP world drops for JC’s only. They allow you to reconstruct the item using a few reagents and the BOP trinket becomes yours. There are also BOP recipes for these items, however the crafted item is also BOP, so we don’t get why there are two sources for the same item.
- Broken Boar Figurine – Rewards: Figurine – King of Boars
- Broken Earthen Figurine – Rewards: Figurine – Earthen Guardian
- Broken Owl Figurine – Rewards: Figurine – Dream Owl
- Broken Panther Figurine – Rewards: Figurine – Demon Panther (a little panther shows up on use)
