Welcome to Part II of my “Useful professions for a Protection Paladin” series. Today we open with: Jewelcrafting.
Jewelcrafting pro’s:
- managed well, it can bring a nice profit.
- cheaper to craft the gems than to buy them.
- unique-equiped gems that can make the difference: Don Julio’s Hear, Facet of Eternity, Falling Star.
- items/gems with Defense Rating: Figurine - Dawnstone Crab, Enduring Talasite, Tenacious Earthstorm Diamond, Thick Dawnstone.
- items/gems with Stamina: Glowing Nightseye, Powerful Earthstorm Diamond, !!! Solid Star of Elune !!!
Jewelcrafting con’s:
- hard and expensive to level.
- you have to be lucky for some of the designs to drop or buy them off AH (not cheap!).
- be prepared to grind for reputation with different factions to be able to get designs.

Do you think in the 2.4 patch they will allow JC’s to equip more than 1 Falling Star?
Good question. But I don’t think so. +18STA is the best stamina gem available yet in the game.
Good news is that from 2.4 the gems that drop in heroics won’t be unique!
[...] Probably one of the best professions for a Protection Paladin, along with Jewelcrafting; [...]
