Am I JC'ing wrong?

Gameplay Professions
1

So I’ve never really been one for professions but I thought I’d give it a spin this time around and I landed on JC as I figured that might be useful across multiple characters

I also picked up mining to support it, made sense to me

But now, I spend hours mining, and then prospecting hundreds of ore, and I feel like I barely get a handful of mats ( I have Proficient Processor and Prospector Pro). To make it worse, I then need to crush the gems to get dust to make cut gems?

Seems like I need an obscene amount of mats to make a bare minimum, or spend an equally obscene amount on the AH to buy other mats

Is JC just cooked? Am I missing something here? Because it actually seems like I’d be better off just selling the ore on the AH…

Sell the ore to buy the mats you need, for now. The price of mats will come down and it will be cheaper to buy the ore back later.

the rate you get actual things in return is busted. i dropped jc and it was a huge mistake taking it

Depends what you want to do with it. It was the worst profession in TWW as well.

You can buy the things you need to craft jewels if you want to specialize in making gems.

The profession is useless except for PVP Neck/Rings. No one needs this in PVE, only Spec for Gems. That’s all you should be doing. If you didn’t, you’re screwed,.

Gems sell for less than the cost of crafting them right now, and likely will most of this season. I make good money creating pve rings and necks though, both the base paperwork recipe and the embellished ones. The rings and neck from quests you worry about so much don’t have your perfect stats and don’t come in mythic, so people only use it as a placeholder
