Only the Blacksmith is available in the beta but it doesn't mean we can't gather information through other means. Today I'll try to give you a small preview of what to expect from your friend the Jeweler! But before we start, the obvious and annoying disclaimer to cover my ass.
Disclaimer: This is NOT an official preview, this is mostly the result of datamining and it might not reflect what will be in the final game
The Jeweler is upgradable and can be found in town, just like the Blacksmith on the beta. He offers 3 different types of services:
- He will combine 3 identical gems to create a new higher quality gem.
- He will remove gems from an item, returning both the item and gems to you intact.
- He can also add a socket to an item.
The average amount of sockets on a high level item is around 2-3 depending on the item type but a couple of helms, shields, or weapons seem to have up to 4 possible sockets according to the game files.
Also, a lot of gems are already in the game files and it seems to be a good time to list them

30 hours includes:
switching classes
farm lowbie boss just for fun
leveling artisans
experimenting on lowbie builds
looking at UI
reading lores
doing lowbie achievement
checking stats
resetting game for random events
talking to all NPC and clicking them till they say something funny
and many many many more!
Funny thing is even with all these, I'll still miss something

edit: added a few collection of UI screenshots. Found a few that I'm looking for but will replace if I see a better quality version. Still searching for a good shot of the character tab, I might end up improvising.

Diablofans = friend1, loyal and can hold back
Incgamers = friend2, upfront and opinionated
If you know you'll be with your girlfriend for a long time, why hang out with friend2 that someday you might punch in the face for being who he is so I think I'll hang out with Friend1 more.
My bad if this is a bit too cheesy
