Question for jewelers ?
Q.Hi, i'm an aspriring jeweler who's at level 50. Just one quick question: is the best way to gain skill to make expensive rings with silver (i.e. try and fail with silver opals, rubies, etc) or to try and fail with cheaper electrums (i.e. electrum amber, jasper, star rose quartz, etc). Obviously, it would be preferable to use the cheap stones, but I was wondering if you level faster if you use the more expensive stones. thanks for your help.
A.I went from peridot in silver to malachite in electrum and spent ages there. Much cheaper and even I think the experience was the same speed in going up. Ypu could probably go to emerald but the cost for failure is huge. After silver/amber or silver/jade, swap to electrum/malachite. After electrum/topaz or electrum/peridot, swap to gold/malachite. Oh yeah. Star Rose Quartz is BUGGED. Your failure rate on that is far higher than its skill level would indicate. When you start doing gold, start enchanting the metal you use to practice with. You can sell the items back for a little above cost. As your skill gets higher, your failure rate on near-trivial items gets very low, and the small profit will sometimes cover your losses. It takes a little longer, but it's worth it. Never practice with platinum. Platinum jewelry is never trivial, and it's just too expensive to practice with. Gold will get you all the way to 200.
