Q:
Crafting Jewels stopped at 390
A:
" After refining, make settings, bands, chains, and hooks.
This will enable you to use filigrees to upgrade gemstones, which will enable you to reach the next level.
If you have 2 of each gem type in a tier, you can usually get to the next one by making as many ingots as you can (100+), then 14 settings, 14 hooks, and 7 filigrees. Discover the 7 base earrings (setting + hook + gem), then the 7 upgraded jewels (filigree + gem), then the 7 master earrings (setting + hook + upgraded jewel). At this point you should be very close to the next tier, if not in it, and can discover rings (the next cheapest item to make) with the upgraded jewels to get into the next tier. "So, I presume from the above wiki I need to make master in all items, have done a few with increase in points, But…….. sometimes the upgraded jewels do not appear in inventory….?? Still stumbling along …..
You need to discover “Rare/Yellow” or “Exotic/Orange” items now. You get those recipes from the NPC at the work station you are using. You use karma to buy those recipes.
I suggest you read a guide for the crafting skill your leveling up. to avoid further mistakes and wasting materials.
once you get to 375 you need to buy recipes from the npc crafting master of the skill your leveling up. once you make a few items with those recipes you will get 400 in no time.
level 400 recipes is also bought from the npc. all cost karma.

Talk to the Master Jeweler by the crafting station. He/she will sell you the recipes for karma to progress.
