Warcraft Experience

orld of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade will introduce a lot of new features to expand the game in many interesting and fun ways. One of these additions is the introduction of a new profession: jewelcrafting.

Jewelcrafters learn the art of creating beautiful jewelry and trinkets from metals and rare gems. By processing the raw ore mined from the various deposits and mineral veins, jewelcrafters can extract gems from the ore which they can then use for their craft. Although miners sometimes find gems while gathering ore, jewelcrafters mostly rely on their prospecting skills to get more of the precious stones.

Jewelcrafters work with gems in many different ways. If a jewelcrafter uses gems to create jewelry, he usually only needs the raw, uncut stones for his work. These rings, amulets, and trinkets function just like those that can already be found in the game, with a few notable exceptions. For example, jewelcrafters can learn to create gemmed figurines that they can carry in their trinket slots. While these figurines all provide passive benefits, they can also be used to provide the player with a short buff – just enough to give you that little damage boost or maybe that quick burst of extra healing power you may need in a tricky situation. These figurines will bind when picked up, so only jewelcrafters will be able to use their powers.

So the moral of the story – start saving the raw ore if you are interested in making some fast cash on the AH when BC comes out or if you plan on trying your hand at it

Here’s a little walk-thru that I wrote on finding the polymorph pig quest and completing it. Not only does it help in large groups where there are multiple mages with poly but he is super duper cute (think Mr. Wiggles folks).

1. fly to azhara
2. go to sanath lim-yo (coord 28, 49)
3. he’s got a blue ? over his head. hit complete quest and portal to top of mountain
(this is the same guy that you get yoru mage trinket from)
4. go into Bear’s Head tower (coord 29, 41) and talk to archmage xylem (he’s near the top) and he’ll give you a quest to kill a lvl 55 non-elite boss in temple of zin-malor
5. get the prasmatic shell and return to archmage xylem
6. he’ll give u a quest Fragmented Magic to polymorph spitelash (any kind will do) and AOE their clones. The shell will automatically gather their essence and store it. You need 50
7. return to archmage and get your polymorph piggy spell

= About 7 gold in profits and your polymorph spell

There are rumors that there is a poly giraffe in the Barrens and of course there is a turtle from ZG. I’ll let you know if I find the giraffe or not.

Sorry for the delay in posting folks. I changed computers and unfortunately have gone through a long winding road to find my password so I could post. But all is well now so be prepared for tons of new info coming at you!
