Wow! So each "style" of crafting uses two jewel shapes. Three continents - six jewel shapes. It also appears that some other crafting recipes require jewels (tailoring and blacksmithing have been mentioned). Good work team! Is anyone taking notes?!

This also brings up an interesting point. I am a gnome sorcerer but I can't make the arcane jewelery. Overcoming the racial barriers to learning another style of jewelry sound too extreme (think about having to build up 300 crafting faction to get high end recipes one work order at a time - ugh!). So I guess that means I'll have to buy my arcane jewelry from crafters on other continents?

So that means we'll have actual trade caravans?! Travelling from one continent to the other in a boat to sell your own crafts and stock up on foreign goodies?! Sweet! It's like a virtual East India Trading Company.
