Jewelry Crafting at level 400.
I’m not sure what you mean. Emerald Orb is a crafting material. All of those are crafting materials used in L400 Jewelry crafting.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Emerald_Orb (scroll to bottom to see all the orbs)

Also, other disciplines have 100 more levels, not just 50. =)
Good luck.
Try using those orbs in discovery.
Edit: And it may turn out that you need to purchase some recipes.

Yes, check with the master jeweler for recipes.
MARA on Gunner’s Hold
- Some recipes must be purchased (e.g. from the vendor next to the crafting station).
- Some require discovery.
- Some can be found in dungeons or in some of the new zones.
- Six disciplines go up to r500. Jewelery and Chef stop at 400 (for reasons beyond the scope of this post).

So.. In other words.. When you hit L400 in jewelry you have to buy recipes for nearly everything you can make? It’s rather silly if you ask me, that you at L400 have to buy recipes for what you have so far on the crafting profession have used the discovery tab to make the jewels and the jewelry.
Go IG and hover your mouse over the different orbs, then you’ll see that the orbs I mentioned in my OP are not marked as crafting material, like the others are.
That’s a different tool-tip ‘bug’ that happened a few months ago. It does not impact their use in any way, shape or form. It’s not just Jewelry mats; others have the same tool-tip-missing text.
Buying recipes from the Master Jeweler to create better items begins at L150? or so…
It’s not really anything different than you could have been doing all along.
Here is more information about the Jeweler discipline: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Jeweler

Exotic item recipes must be purchased from the Master Craftsman for all disciplines.
Good luck.

At every rank, there are recipes that can be discovered, bought, or found; there’s nothing special about r400 (although some of the more basic recipes cost karma, for reasons that made more sense at launch).

ANet has never been consistent about how it treats crafting materials. Further, unlike most other crafting mats, Orbs have other uses (notably: as upgrades for gear, although they aren’t often used for that any more).
It’s a big game and there’s too much stuff to remember, so I use the wiki a lot to look up stuff.
/wiki
from inside the game.
You can also type that and then ctrl-click an item, to look up its details. The wiki has enormous amount of data and more.
John Smith: “you should kill monsters, because killing monsters is awesome.”
Okay, so not a bug then. I guess I made a mistake, just found it strange that I couldn’t use the orbs in crafting and when I looked at them it didn’t say “Jewelry level: 400” on them.
But.. Before I call it quits here I’d like to bring something else to attention, it isn’t directly connected to this, but it does have to do with jewelry crafting materials.
I do not remember which character level, but I know it’s one of the level between 20 and 30, I think it’s level 23. When taking the level you get a choice between 3 pebbles, no matter which you choose you get a pebble that is completely useless. If you try using it you can’t apply it to anything and you can’t deposit to storage. When hovering the mouse over it it does say what levels you can use it on in crafting and when you right click on it you only get two choices, use and destroy. This at least seem very much like a bug, because on later levels when you get gems they can be used, deposited and even sold.
That would be:
Lapis Nugget
Peridot Nugget
Spinel Nugget
…rewarded at L26. (Level 12 rewards are Copper Doubloon, Garnet Pebble, and Malachite Pebble.)
These are items that can be used with Silver Filigrees, Chains, Settings, etc. by Level 100 Jewelers.
You can use them in Level 20 and higher gear. You can ‘use’ them, deposit them, or sell them.
Again, the Wiki is very informative. Example: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Lapis_Nugget
Good luck.
Yeah, that’s them, but the problem is that you can’t use them, because.. When you select use from the right click menu on the item and try to apply them to an item, like a coat, then the coat lights up as red, meaning it’s not compatible. And when you right click on it you only get Use and Destroy as choices on it. But.. Any of those three you find in loot, or when mining are working as they should, it’s only the ones you get at level 26 that doesn’t work right.
Referring to the wiki in this matter doesn’t help. What I think has happened here is that there are actually two of each of those nuggets in the game, the ones you find in loot and when mining and the ones you get at level 26 that can’t me used, sold and deposited. You do not even get the line in the right click menu that says “Buy more of this” I have seen this in other games.. Games like Neverwinter Nights 2, two items with the same name, but not working the same way and cannot be stacked with each other.
I have a character close to lvl 26, I’ll level her up to 26 and take some screenshots for you.
Well, make sure the item you are trying to upgrade is of the requisite level. As stated, the gear must be L20 or above. Remember, that many items from Level-up Rewards are Account- or Soul-bound, so that might be the issue.
Also, make sure you don’t have the upgrade item in an Invisible Bag. That would prevent its sale.
Good luck.

So.. I took a character I had that was level 22 and leveled her up to level 26. The nuggets I get at that level can be applied to equipment, but they cannot be deposited into your collection, they cannot be used in crafting, they doesn’t stack with the ones you get from mining and from loot and they cannot be sold. They have the same names as the ones that you get from mining and loot. The reason for it is simply that even though they have the same names and icons, they are not the same nuggets. The level 26 nugget is Soulbound.
Gems that you get on later levels are however the same as you get from mining and loot.
And here are the screenshots I promised.
Level 26 Nugget.

As stated above, many of the items from the Level-up Rewards are Account- or Soul-bound.
Just part of the new, more generous rewards that were introduced for leveling up. =)
That’s what I don’t understand… Why isn’t the other “gems” that you get on other levels soulbound then? Why go though the trouble of making a more or less useless item to be rewarded at a level when you already have perfectly workable items to reward? To me it seems more like the dev that set this up couldn’t find the right one and so he/she made a new one and by mistake made it soulbound. To be honest.. I think it’s stupid that most of the rewards given on level ups can’t be recycled, I do not mind that they can’t be sold, though. It seems more like a joke than a reward. Something made to troll and annoy players.
Well.. That’s my view on it.. I think it’s best I stop responding to this thread before I get a response from you that really tick me off.
