Agate Pendant

Welcome to Arcbound’s Crafting Guide! This guide is meant for either an individual or a guild that is interested in finding efficiencies while leveling multiple professions at the same time. By using the interdependencies of the different professions, you can make the process of leveling these professions less expensive and time consuming than by doing them one at a time.

You have two options when it comes to creating a set of characters. With the first option, each crafting profession is paired with the most appropriate gathering profession:

1) Mining, Jewelcrafting

2) Mining, Blacksmithing

3) Mining, Engineering

4) Skinning, Leatherworking

5) Tailoring, Enchanting

6) Herbalism, Alchemy

Or, if you are opposed to having so many characters, you could have the following arrangement:

1) Tailoring, Jewelcrafting

2) Mining, Engineering

3) Leatherworking, Skinning

4) Enchanting, Blacksmithing

5) Alchemy, Herbalism

In any case, your first step after creating your characters will be to level them up to about 10 and get them to a major city. Once in the city, train with the appropriate professions and buy any necessary gathering equipment (i.e. Mining Pick, Skinning Knife). Now that you have your gathering equipment, it’s time to get out there and gather!

Apprentice

When you first start off at level 10, it is probably best to keep leveling and gather as you go. If you need help leveling, I recommend either Joana’s Leveling Guide for Horde or Brian Kopp’s Leveling Guide for Alliance. Once you get to level 20 you should be high enough to do some gathering runs. To find mining nodes and herbs, I recommend MapWoW. Leather can be skinned from most beasts you come across, and Cloth drops from most humanoids. To find drop rates for items, you can do a search on Allakhazam. Once you’ve gathered everything you’ll need to buy any rare materials that you didn’t get or vendor items needed for the round of crafting you’re about to do. (N.B. Always be thinking about your Enchanter. Anything green or better you make that won’t sell well at the Auction House should be sent to your Enchanter for Disenchanting.)

What kind of drill bit should I use to drill through a small agate slab?

I bought a small agate slab recently (about two inches long and about one eighth of an inch thick), and I wanted to make it in to a sort of pendant for a necklace. That being said, I’d need to drill a small hole through it. So, what kind of drill bit should I use? I was thinking of using a typical tile bit with a carbide tip. But, would that work? Any advice with this would help out a lot. Thank you.

No, don’t use a masonry bit — it’s designed for concrete and brick. You have a piece of natural stone. Use a small carbide bit, and go slow — heat will crack it and make it break along the edge. If it’s a cabochon, set it upside down (curved side down) in a bed of damp sand, and make a little “dam” of modeling clay around the area where you want to drill. fill the dam with light oil (sewing machine oil) and drill right through the oil. It will absorb heat, and protect from breaking. Go slow.
