Jewelcrafting in MoP Classic focuses on powerful gem cuts, early-game rings and necklaces, JC-only gems, and the popular panther mounts. Prospecting Ghost Iron fuels most crafts, and reputation unlocks add high-value recipes.
If you're looking to level up Inscription, check out my separate leveling guide here:
The table below lists each new prospected ore, required skill, and drop chances for common and rare gems. Total Common % and Total Rare % show the combined odds for each gem type.
Common: Prospecting 5 ores always gives at least one common gem, sometimes two, so totals can exceed 100%.
Rare: Rare gems have a separate drop roll, shown as Total Rare %, and appear in addition to common gems.
