Jewelcrafting in Diablo 3 is all about gems, tons of gems. When you play Diablo 3 you will meet your very own Artisan Jeweler (named Covetous Shen) who you can work with and train to higher levels. Similar to your.
The Jewler is located in ACT II, you first acquire the Jeweler during Act II, Quest 7, Blood and Sand. You will first encounter the Jeweler during the Act II quest 'Blood and Sand. In the sewers, you will find a Talking Barrel. Inside the barrel, you will find Covetous Shen.
You will level these two Artisans up as you progress through Diablo 3 and they will allow you to craft an expanding assortment of equipment and other bonus items.Warning: It is currently not possible to make gold combining most gems. You will actually lose gold combining gems (except some high level rubies and other rare ones). If you have 3 Flawless Emeralds and want 1 Perfect Emerald just sell the 3 flawless on the auction house and then buy 1 emerald with the cash you get.
You will get paid to do it this way. This is true for the first 8 tiers of gems right now. If you want to make gold, join the to find out how people are doing it right now.The Purpose of GemsIn Diablo 3, just about everyone wants or needs gems to enhance the power of their gear. Gems are inserted into their gear just like in Diablo 2 and in World of Warcraft. Head, chest, wrists, waist, amulets, shields and weapons can be socketed with gems. You can place gems into sockets and even remove them.
Removed gems can be traded and sold with other players or even combined with 2 other gems of the same color and quality to make the next tier of quality.Throughout the game, you will only find up to tier 8 of gems while there are a total of 14 different tiers. This will make the upper tiers extremely rare early in Diablo 3. It is not necessary to level your own Jeweler since you can trade with others on the auction house and in trade chat with friends.
There is no ‘bind on equip’ or ‘bind on pickup’ aspect to Diablo 3.Leveling your Artisan JewelerLeveling your artisan Jeweler works differently than leveling your. Your Artisan Jeweler will begin as an Apprentice and work their way to the 10th level: Exalted. The process will require gold and 3 types of reagents: Pages of Jewelcrafting, Tomes of Jewelcrafting and Tomes of Secrets. Pages of Jewelcrafting are found throughout Nightmare difficulty. Tomes of Jewelcrafting are found throughout Hell difficulty and Tomes of Secrets are found throughout Inferno difficulty. Tomes of Secrets are also shared with Blacksmiths and are, as you can see, needed in larger quantity than the lower level reagents.
