This guide uses recipes that are yellow skill, but it doesnt use recipes which go green. I also assumed that once a skill hits yellow, it will give you a skill point for every 2 you make (also calculated the mats according to that). I attempted to create it as cheap as possible but the last points will very likely be expensive no matter what. My suggestion would be to get some thorium ore and save it for prospecting (thinking of about ~200 or so, not too hard to get)
Possibly cheaper way of getting the last levels could possibly be just crafting a huge amount of Ruby pendants of fire. This way you could simply skip all the expensive gems, but of course you would need something like 200 star rubys.

Really, just make 10-15 of whatever you have the materials and recipes for. There is so much choice and it's pointless me tying you down to just one or two choices.
They all take just one of each gem, so I won't bother listing all the mats as it's pretty obvious.
355-360
Your stuck with trying to get world drop recipes here. The two most common drops are as follows:
Living Ruby Pendant (4 x Khorium Bars, 1 x Mercurial Adamantite, 1 x Living Ruby) x 5
or
Thick Felsteel Necklace (2 x Felsteel Bars, 3 x Mercurial Adamantite) x 5
The Thick Felsteel Necklace is obviously the most desirable to get, as it's the cheapest to make. There are other recipes out there to fill this levelling gap, so if you happen to get one of those, use that instead.
360-365
The next bit requires being honoured with The Sha'tar:
Ring of Arcane Shielding (2 x Eternium Bars, 8 x Primal Mana) x 5
or
You could go and farm Vekh'nir Dreadhawk's in Blade's Edge Mountains and hope the following drops:
Khorium Band of Leaves (2 x Khorium Bars, 4 x Mercurial Adamantite, 3 x Primal Life) x 5
365-375
If your raiding Kharazan and you have a lot of Alchemist transmuting Diamonds, then use those to skill up the last 10 points. There's a 60min CD on making each one, but it's still fairly easy for a raid guild's Jewelcrafting to finish skilling up on. Otherwise your stuck with using rare world drop recipes again.
365-370
Embrace of the Dawn (2 x Eternium Bars, 4 x Mercurial Adamantite, 2 x Golden Draenite) x 5
This seems to be the most common recipe on the AH. It's not cheap, but if you dont have anything else to skill up on, it's your best choice.
There are a few other rare world drop recipes that need 365 skill. So if you get any of those, then use them instead.
370-375
Of all the recipes available at 370. Probably the easiest to make is probably Figurine - Felsteel Boar, but that requires Lower City revered rep. So I'll list the next best ones in terms of rep.
Figurine - Talasite Owl (2 x Eternium Bars, 2 x Talasite, 4 x Primal Mana) x 5
Requires Sha'tar revered rep.
or
Figurine - Dawnstone Crab (4 x Khorium Bars, 2 x Dawnstones, 4 x Golden Draenite) x 5
Requires Honour Hold/Thrallmar revered rep.
You can also increase your skill level with certain racial abilities, items, and enchants. Principally the chance to skill up is based off of the characters base skill level - i.e. the skill level before the racial or item bonus. This makes it much easier to level up the skill. The Draenei Jewelcrafting skill bonus of 5, for example, means that a recipe that turned from orange to yellow at 30 for other races would not turn yellow until 35 for a Draenei jewelcrafter.
Racial profession
Certain races receive a profession skill bonus as a racial trait.
• Gnome → +15 Engineering
• Tauren → +15 Herbalism
• Draenei → +5 Jewelcrafting
• Blood Elf → +10 Enchanting
Enchants
Certain enchants give profession skill bonuses.
• Enchant Gloves - Fishing adds 2 to Fishing skill.
• Enchant Gloves - Herbalism adds 2 to Herbalism skill.
• Enchant Gloves - Mining adds 2 to Mining skill.
• Enchant Gloves - Skinning adds 5 to Skinning skill.
• Enchant Gloves - Advanced Mining adds 5 to Mining skill.
• Enchant Gloves - Advanced Herbalism adds 5 to Herbalism skill.
Equipment
Certain items give profession skill bonuses.
• [Finkle's Skinner] adds +10 to Skinning skill.
• [Zulian Slicer] adds +10 to Skinning skill.
• [Goblin Mining Helmet] adds +5 to Mining skill.
• [Herbalist's Gloves] adds +5 to Herbalism skill.
• See Boosting Your Fishing Skill for a table of the many items that add to fishing skill.
These items can allow you to skin creatures with levels greater than 70, or catch fish in areas that require greater than 375 Fishing skill.
WOW Increasing skills
The chance of skilling up changes within a color band as well. For example, if a particular item goes from orange to yellow at 240 and from yellow to green at 255, the chance of skilling up will be almost as good as orange from 240-245, middling from 245-250, and barely better than green from 250-255. It is often beneficial to make high yellow items to skill up more cost effectively than orange items, but low yellow items should only be used if inexpensive (or if profitable!).
