The Gem Boutique is a Small Garrison building that Jewelcrafters and Non-Jewelcrafters can use to craft Draenor-specific Jewelcrafting recipes.

While we explain, in this article, how to unlock all levels of the Gem Boutique, you may be interested in our guide to unlocking all the Garrison buildings. We also have a guide to leveling Jewelcrafting in Draenor.

For Jewelcrafters, the main perk of the Gem Boutique is that it allows you to create a maximum of 12x Taladite Crystals per day, in addition to the 10x you can already craft with Taladite Crystal (less with an Jewelcrafting skill lower than 700). These extra Crystals are really useful, because they allow you to craft more Draenor recipes, which means you make more money off the Auction House and you level up Jewelcrafting to 700 faster. The Gem Boutique is also where you buy your Draenor-specific Jewelcrafting recipes.

For Non-Jewelcrafters, the main perk of the Gem Boutique is that the resident Jewelcrafter can craft most of the Draenor-specific Jewelcrafting recipes for you.

Level	Cost	Perks
Level 1	150x 50x 1 hour	Allows the production of Jewelcraft items and work orders.
Level 2	300x 100x 1 hour	Allows followers with the Jewelcrafting trait to work here, granting a unique bonus. Also allows up to 14 work orders at one time.
Level 3	500x 300x 1 hour	Allows up to 21 work orders at one time.

In this section, we are going to tell you how to unlock the Gem Boutique, Level 1, 2, and 3.

The Gem Boutique Level 1 is unlocked when you upgrade your Town Hall to Level 2.

Jewelcrafters can build this building with a Town Hall Level 1, because they have a chance to loot Drained Crystal Fragment (Alliance) and Intricate Crimson Pendant (Horde). This item drops from humanoid mobs around Draenor and starts a quest line that eventually rewards the plan to build the Gem Boutique, Garrison Blueprint: Gem Boutique, Level 1, and Draenor Jewelcrafting, which teaches basic Draenor recipes that can be used to level up the profession.

If you are a Jewelcrafter and the quest item does not drop for you, then you can buy your Draenor Jewelcrafting for 100 from the Jewelcrafter at your Gem Boutique, after upgrading your Town Hall to Level 2.

Garrison Blueprint: Gem Boutique, Level 2 is sold by the blueprint vendor at your Garrison once you reach level 96 or once you complete your Talador Outpost. You can buy it with 750 . You can also buy it from the blueprint vendor in Ashran without restrictions with an Outpost Building Assembly Notes, which can only be obtained twice, once when questing in Gorgrond and once when questing in the Spires of Arak. so the purpose of this Below, you will find the Alliance and Horde vendors.

Vendor	Faction	Location	Cost
Sparz Boltwist	Alliance	Garrison, next to Architect Table	750
Kinkade Jakobs	Alliance	Ashran, next to Flightmaster	1x Outpost Building Assembly Notes
Rezlak	Horde	Garrison, next to Architect Table	750
Torgg Flexington	Horde	Ashran, next to Flightmaster	1x Outpost Building Assembly Notes

Garrison Blueprint: Gem Boutique, Level 3 is a reward from completing the Working More Orders achievement, which requires you to complete 250 Work Orders at your Garrison. This achievement is account-wide.

Once you complete the achievement, the blueprint is not directly handed over to you. You still need to buy it from Sparz Boltwist (Alliance) or Rezlak (Horde) for 1,000 .

Work Orders are unlocked with your Gem Boutique Level 1 and allow you to create Taladite Crystals. A Work Order takes 4 hours to complete and transforms 5x Blackrock Ore into 1x Taladite Crystal (2x with a level 100 follower assigned to the Gem Boutique). This means that you can complete a maximum of 6 Work Orders per day for a total yield of 6 to 12 Taladite Crystals.

When you first build the Gem Boutique on a character, the resident Jewelcrafter at the building gives you Your First Jewelcrafting Work Order. To complete it, talk to the Jewelcrafter's Assistant and give the required 5x Blackrock Ore. The small box outside the Gem Boutique should activate immediately and you can loot the Jewelcrafting Work Order that you need to turn in to complete the quest. Doing so rewards you with 5x Taladite Crystals.

After upgrading the Gem Boutique to Level 2, you can assign a follower with the Jewelcrafting trait to work at the Gem Boutique. The higher the level of your follower, the higher the chance that the Work Order will generate 2 Taladite Crystals instead of only 1. With a level 100 follower, you are guaranteed to get 2 Taladite Crystals.

While working at the Gem Boutique, your follower receives experience for every Work Order completed.

You can queue up to a certain number of Work Orders, depending on your Gem Boutique's level (7 at Level 1, 14 at Level 2, 21 at Level 3).

Having a Storehouse Level 3 increases the maximum number of Work Orders by 15, which means a maximum of 22 Work Orders at Level 1, 29 at Level 2, and 36 at Level 3.

Being able to queue more Work Orders does not increase your yield, but it does allow you to let more time pass before you have to go back to the Gem Boutique to refill your queue of Work Orders.

Taladite Crystal costs 20x Blackrock Ore and 10x True Iron Ore, and produces between 4 and 10 Taladite Crystals, depending on your Jewelcrafting skill. Below level 600, you only produce 4. Between level 600 and 700 the yield slowly increases to reach 10 at level 700.

Work Orders cost 5x Blackrock Ore and produce between 1 and 2 Taladite Crystals. With no follower or a level 90 follower, you produce only 1. The closer your follower is to 100, the higher the chance that the yield will be 2. With a follower level 100, you always produce 2.

The cheapest of the two methods is the Work Orders (we consider Blackrock Ore and True Iron Ore to have the same value, because you can find them as easily in Draenor). That said, using Taladite Crystal every day and keeping your Work Orders queue full is very easy, thanks to the Mine in your Garrison.

The Jewelcrafter at the Gem Boutique interacts with you in one of two ways, depending on whether or not you have the Jewelcrafting profession.

Buying the Draenor Jewelcrafting recipes from the Jewelcrafter in your Gem Boutique is the only way to obtain them. Each recipe costs a number of Secrets of Draenor Jewelcrafting. You can make one of these items every day using the Secrets of Draenor Jewelcrafting Jewelcrafting recipe, which costs 5x Blackrock Ore. The table below lists all of the recipes you can buy and the amount of Secrets of Draenor Jewelcrafting it costs to buy them.

Small Pouch of Coins is not a recipe, but an item that contains a bit of Gold (approximately 2 ). This is a way to spend your Secrets of Draenor Jewelcrafting, once you have acquired all the recipes.

For Non-Jewelcrafters, the Jewelcrafter in your Gem Boutique can craft most of the high-end Draenor Jewelcrafting recipes, except for item upgrades, Greater gems (the +50 stat versions), and Taladite Crystal (which can be obtained only through Work Orders). Crafting an item through your Jewelcrafter costs exactly the same quantity of materials it does when a regular Jewelcrafter crafts it. Some of the recipes are locked until you reach a certain level with the Gem Boutique (see table below).

Recipe	Unlock Level
Glowing Blackrock Band	Level 1
Shifting Blackrock Band	Level 1
Whispering Blackrock Band	Level 1
Glowing Iron Band	Level 1
Shifting Iron Band	Level 1

In addition to increasing your yield of Taladite Crystals, your follower gives you a Jewelcrafting Special Order daily quest. Completing the quest requires you to craft a Jewelcrafting item and rewards you with a Jewelcrafting Payment. This item contains 200 in average, so you should check the Auction House to see if the reagents required to craft the quest item(s) do not cost more than you can hope to loot from the Jewelcrafting Payment.
