Levelling Professions

After a serious amount of prospecting and cutting I eventually made it to level 420 in Jewelcrafting on StoneKold. This is where it gets a little trickier as the best way to level from here is to cut Earthsiege and Skyflare Diamond metagems. I picked up 17 Skyflare and a couple of Earthsiege Diamonds and thought I’d get started though I wasn’t sure which cut to go for. I could have learned the ‘Swift Skyflare Diamond’ recipe from the trainer however a quick AH search showed an influx of them and they only sold for about 9 gold each. I decided that the ‘Chaotic Skyflare Diamond’ was the one to go for; it sells quite well at around 60 gold each, the only problem was that the recipe could only be purchased using 5 Dalaran Jewelcrafting Token and I didn’t have any…..yet. So on with the dailies. I don’t mind waiting a few days if it means making a 100%+ profit over a 70% loss, but what to do in the meantime?

MacNeilly’s BlackSmithing was only at level 363, so I thought that this would be a good time to level that a bit too. I started of by smelting about 300 cobalt bars and about the same in Saronite bars (though they are 2:1). I even turned my 50 Titanium Ore into 25 bars, 2:1 too. I then logged onto my favourite levelling guide website (much kudos to www.wow-professions.com) and started cranking out armour and weapons until my stock was depleted. I then swapped out upgrades for my own rubbish BC armour and sent the rest either to StoneKold for DE’ing or to the AH (Weapon Chains and Eternal Belt Buckles). All this effort got me up to level 430, which I was more than happy with. I then decided to take to the skies and replenish my stocks…onwards and upwards.
