Me too. I heard you only needed 50m to make it as a jeweler. So far I've spent over 30m and I'm only adept. That means I better win a revels or story contest or give up on my poor investment.
Whoever told you that MEANT to tell you that you only needed 50m to make it as an ADEPT Jeweler.
But seriously....
There are a lot of people who will say "I gather my own ambers, gemcut them and then jewel them and I manage to break even or even profit and I'm only accomplished/adept/talented...... While they might see "profit"..... They fail to realize that they spend between 30-60 minutes hunting those 100 ambers/dark ambers... THEN they spend 5 minutes gemcutting them.... THEN they spend another 5 minutes jeweling them. Then they look at their gold amount after finishing and they see an increase of 1-15k.....
I'm sorry. Making 1-15k in 40-70 minutes is not profit. Time is money. Factor that in...!
They could have spent that hour hunting 200-300 ambers and selling them for MUCH higher profit...
Furthermore -- It takes HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of mixed Crafted Ambers to reach Master, not to mention Legendary.
Gathering, gemcutting and jeweling HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of Ambers may not be impossible....... But I'd we'd all like to reach Master+ Jeweler before the year 2036... Right...? Or am I just crazy?
