Jewelry crafting profession has been introduced to Elder Scrolls Online crafting maniacs in the newest Summerset expansion. This profession requires lots of tedious grind but once you are done levelling it up and researching all the traits you will unlock yourself access to the biggest game-changer since "Monster Sets".
To have access to the profession you should have Summerset expansion further. Altho you will be able to harvest jewelry resource nodes and purchase crafted jewelry from guild market you won't be able to craft, upgrade and change traits of your rings and necklaces.
There are a total of nine new traits to be researched (pre-Summerset jewelry pieces only had 3 possible traits: arcane, healthy and robust). Researchable items, however, are far less random as weapon or armour traits.
Necklaces and rings with the Arcane Trait drop randomly all over Tamriel.
Acquired by refining Jewelry Crafting base materials.
Necklaces and rings with the Healthy Trait drop randomly all over Tamriel.
Necklaces and rings with the Robust Trait drop randomly all over Tamriel.
Acquired either by refining Jewelry Crafting base materials.
The trait item, Titanium, can be found rarely in precious metal seams all over Tamriel, but are found more often in seams found on Summerset.
Jewelry in the Triune Trait can now be also found in Gladiator’s Rucksacks, obtained from Conquest Board dailies in Cyrodiil.
The trait item, Dawn-Prism, can be purchased from War Researchers in Cyrodiil for 100,000 AP per unit.
Acquired from Psijic Portals, with a rare chance for a refined form. Note that Psijic Portals only appear if you have the new Psijic Order Skill Line.
In order to create Aurbic Amber, you must refine 10 pieces of the material in its pulverized (raw) form.
Gilding Wax can be purchased from Master Writ Merchants for Writ Vouchers.
Jewelry in the Harmony trait can be found rarely in the Undaunted Reward chests located in the Undaunted camps near alliance capitals.
The trait item, Dibellium, can be found in Daily Dungeon LFG reward system mails.
Jewelry in the Bloodthirsty Trait can now be found rarely in the weekly quest reward boxes of Trials.
The trait item, Slaughterstone, will be found in those same reward boxes the rest of the time.
Obtaining upgrade materials for jewelry crafting is way harder when compared to other types of craft. For example, when refining raw wood into a crafting material you have a random chance of obtaining one of the four upgrade materials, in case of jewelry crafting whenever you refine dust into ounce you have a chance of obtaining a grain of random upgrade material and 10 grains can be turned into a single bar which is the proper material used for upgrading your bling. Considering how rare the nodes are, upgrading crafted shinies to legendary quality will be quite a task.
You can gain jewelry crafting materials (and trait-research pieces) by performing crafting writs. To become eligible, you have to visit Felarian outsite the crafting district of Alinor (capital of Summerset). Once certified you can pick up a Jewelry Crafting Writs from Equipment Crafting Writ Boards. Jewelry crafting stations have also been made available at Faustina Curio and requires 125 Vouchers (along with "Jewelry Crafter" achievement) for the standard table and 250 for attunable one.
