Stonecutting Basics
Stonecutting is primarily intended for the supply of the profession Jewelcrafting. With this profession you are able to make polished gems from raw gems, which you get through mining. Another very important task is making keys (Tuned Orbs) for entering expeditions. The easiest way to level up this profession is through Stone Blocks and Bricks. The materials for this profession can be obtained through mining.
In order to process the stones, you need to go to a Stonecutting Table in a settlement of your choice. In every settlement this building has at least Tier 2. If you want to produce higher tiered items, you may have to look for a settlement where this building is more advanced.
Leveling Stonecutting: 1-200
For each item you produce you get experience points. For items with a skill of 0 or more, you will receive significantly less experience points compared to a skill 150 item. Theoretically you can increase your progress with every item. The cheapest material is not always the cheapest solution!
1-50
391 x Stone Block
Requires Stonecutting Table Tier 2
With stone block you learn the first 50 levels and need stones from boulders. The stone block is also used again and again for quests in city projects and thus bought by players at the trading post.
- 1.564 Stone
50-100
850 x Stone Brick
Requires Stonecutting Table Tier 3
As soon as you have reached level 50 you can produce stone bricks for the first time. For this you always need 4 stone blocks which you have already built from 1-50. In addition, you need sandpaper, which you can find in chests in houses or produce yourself with the profession woodworking and Stonecutting from profession level 50.
Since the amount of stone blocks from step 1-50 will not be enough for you, you will still have to make a lot of stone blocks at 51-100. You will advance in the level more slowly, but you will still get experience points.
The experience points increase per level a little bit more.
- 13.600 Stone
- 850 Coarse Sandpaper
100-150
772 x Lodestone Brick
Requires Stonecutting Table Tier 4
From level 100 you can produce the first Lodestone Bricks. For the first time, you will also need ores in addition to the blocks and bricks. For the magnetite brick you need 6 Lodestone, which you can mine yourself from a mining level of 105.
You also need Sandpaper (Coarse Sandpaper, Fine Sandpaper, Obsidian Sandpaper), that you can craft yourself or get from crates and chests in the game.
- 4.632 Lodestone
- 24.704 Stone
- 2.316 Coarse Sandpaper
150-200
1061 x Obsidian Voidstone
Requires Stonecutting Table Tier 5
Once you are at level 150 you can make Obsidian Voidstones. For this you need Lodestone Bricks, Lodestone and Loamy Loadstone. As in part 100-150, you can mine your own magnetite with a mining level of 105. You can get the Loamy Loadstone from Earthcrags.
You also need Sandpaper (Coarse Sandpaper, Fine Sandpaper, Obsidian Sandpaper), that you can craft yourself or get from crates and chests in the game.
- 53.050 x Lodestone
- 271.616 x Stone
- 26.525 x Coarse Sandpaper

Orbs for Expeditions

A guide on how to craft Orbs that are needed to enter Expeditions is HERE.
Stonecutting Objects
For some materials there are two ways to make them, which is why they are listed twice in the recipes overview in the game. Different materials are used, one lower level and one higher level. So you have a choice and can craft with the materials that are available to you in larger quantities.

Gems
- Amber
- Amethyst
- Aquamarine
- Carnelian
- Diamond
- Emerald
- Jasper
- Malachite
- Moonstone
- Onyx
- Opal
- Pearl
- Ruby
- Sapphire
- Topaz
There are different quality levels of each of these.
In order to upgrade your profession from 1-200 you need a lot of gems. With the help of the pickaxe, which is used for Mining, you can mine them from boulders all over the world. Theoretically, you can also buy all materials at the trading post, but you will notice that you need a lot of stones and it can be expensive.
Basically, you can learn the profession of Stonecutting from 1-200 with the production of blocks and bricks. However, if you get gems from mining, it makes sense to process them with Stonecutting, because they give you a lot of experience points.
TIP: It may be worth looking at the trading post, should certain gems be very cheap.
