It's a good idea to let your [[Gem setter]] train with low-value gems (or [[glass]] which can be manufactured) and only use high-value gems when reaching the legendary status, as there's a much better chance they will score a [[Item quality|masterpiece]] which is 12 times as valuable. |
| − | + | *The entire right column of the workshop is impassable, making it easy to accidentally trap dwarves inside the workshop after it is built. | |
| − | + | *As of version 34.01, you may also cut normal stones in the jeweler's workshop. These stones will always come out as cabochons while other gems will come out as cut gems. The difference being that a cabochon is just a cut and polished stone, where as a gem is a gem. Some rough gems are also always cut as cabochons, this is dependent on the opacity or transparency of the stone.{{verify}} | |
| − | *The entire right column of the workshop is | + | *A nice strategy for increasing the value of crafts is to cut valuable stones such as obsidian or various ores (platinum, silver, or gold) and then encrust your crafts with these stones. The drawback is you lose the ore, and in most cases you would be better off just turning the ore into bars and making crafts from the metal. |
| − | * | + | *The ability to cut all stones makes training [[gem cutter]]s much easier, while also giving a way to get rid of excess stone. This works even better if there are excess [[flux]] stones and obsidian around, as these can add considerable value encrusted onto crafts. |
