Cross-reference table (detailed)[]
This is a "stat plus stat" addition table that lists all Northrend gems:
- If you take the numbers from the column header and add the row header, you get the actual stats of the gems.
- The background colors are the stat colors in the headers and the gem colors in the table.
- The table also shows how the different cuts are called (the adjectives). If you associate the adjective of a cut with the name of the right material, you get the full name of the gem.
- Symbols used are explained in a legend below.
- Also, mousing over a gem will show its description.
| Legend: | |
|---|---|
| [U] | Northrend uncommon gem. |
| [P] | Northrend perfect uncommon gem. (When cut, an uncommon northrend gem has a chance to be perfect through the  [Gem Perfection] ability. Perfect uncommon gems are between uncommon and rare in quality (except for Mp5).
|
| [R] | Northrend rare gem. |
| [E] | Northrend epic gem. |
| [D] | Jewelcrafter-only [Dragon's Eye] gem. These are made by jewelcrafters for themselves, they always provide a single stat (they are on the diagonal) and they are 70% better than the epic gem associated. |
| [•] | Alternate, non-crafted possibility for a gem. (Exemple: [Kharmaa's Grace] is a unique [Mystic King's Amber] with a special name.) |
| ↑ | This indicates that the stat value of a gem is one point greater than the expected result from the addition. (Exemple: [Runed Scarlet Ruby] should have 9 + 9 spell power = 18. However it has 19.) |
| ↓ | This indicates that the stat value of a gem is one point less than the expected result from the addition. |
Materials table[]
- Main article: Gem materials
Most of the time, jewelcrafters ask their clients to bring their own mats. Also, finding a jewelcrafter instead of buying a cut gem is a great way to save money.
Once you know the color and the quality of the gem you want, use this table to identify its material.
