Jewelcrafting info

Blizzard published some info on jewelcrafting, the new tradeskill to be introduced in the Burning Crusade expansion. It seems that the gems will be coming from the already existing ore veins, just using a different skill applied to them.

Some features are nice, giving you a real choice. For example the sockets you put the gems in are colored. Now you can either put in gems with a matching color and end up with a bonus, or you can ignore the colors and the bonus and put in gems giving you the stats you really want. I'm also quite happy with the information that tailors, blacksmiths, and leatherworkers will gain new recipes for socketed items.

But of course the final judgement has to be reserved for the time that this change actually goes live.
