Celenial Witch Dress is a popular fashion piece that has gained significant attention in recent years. This unique dress has a mystical and enchanting appeal, which makes it stand out from the rest. The dress itself is characterized by its flowing silhouette, long sleeves, and intricate detailing. It often features intricate lacework, embroidery, or beading, adding to its captivating charm. The Celenial Witch Dress takes inspiration from different elements of witchcraft and the occult. Its design incorporates occult symbols, celestial motifs like stars, moons, and suns, and sometimes even pentagrams or runes.
Note: this post contains information on Wrath of the Lich King, although it’s mostly mechanical and thus not hugely spoilery.
Blacksmiths, however, can add colorless sockets to their own bracers and gloves, and create Eternal Belt Buckle for players to add a colorless socket to high-level belts. Finally, tertiary-color gems which include only the Void Sphere and Prismatic Sphere will fit into any color slot excluding meta and still activate the slot bonus.
Its design incorporates occult symbols, celestial motifs like stars, moons, and suns, and sometimes even pentagrams or runes. These symbols are often strategically placed to add an element of mystery and magic to the dress. Many appreciate the Celenial Witch Dress for its versatile nature.
Epic Gems and Jewelcrafting in 3.2
Patch 3.2 brings with it WotLK’s long-awaited epic gems. The item names have been known ever since they were datamined during the beta, but they’ve never been available until now.
What Gems Are There?
There are six new gems, of epic quality.
- Red: Cardinal Ruby
- Yellow: King’s Amber
- Blue: Majestic Zircon
- Orange: Ametrine
- Green: Eye of Zul
- Purple: Dreadstone
What Cuts Are There?
As far as I can tell, based on datamined info from MMO-champion’s internal DB, every uncommon/rare cut in WotLK has an epic equivalent except the prismatic “Enchanted” gems (the ‘all stats’ pearls).
Edit: as of PTR build 10072, there’s now an “all stats” epic gem – the Nightmare Tear, +10 to all stats, unique-equipped, matches any socket, and requires a Dragon’s Eye and 5 Infinite Dust to cut.
The values on the gems are increased by 25-33% over the rare cuts, except with mp5 (which is in line with the boost to mp5 on gear in 3.2). So a +16 attribute rare cut will be a +20 attribute cut in its epic versions.
I’ve revised the Jewelcrafting Quick Reference Sheet: WotLK Edition to include all of these cuts.
This table includes all jewelcrafting gem cuts excluding BoP gems that are JC-only. It is current as of 25 June 09.

Last updated 25 June 09.
What Cuts Aren’t There?
The ‘prismatic’ quality of jewelcrafter-only gems is being removed – the Dragon’s Eye JC-only cuts will now have a specific color. Bold Dragon’s Eyes will be red, Brilliant Dragon’s Eyes will be yellow, and so on.
This will make it harder to meet socket bonuses and meta gem requirements for unpopular gem colors (*cough*blue*cough*), and many people had expressed a hope that Blizzard would add orange, purple and green JC-only gems.
Alas: such things are, so far, absent.
Where Do the Cuts Come From?
As you can see in the images linked above, there are 72 cuts for epic gems.
The patterns are BoP and require 450 Jewelcrafting to learn. They can be purchased from the Dalaran Jewelcrafting trainer, Timothy Jones, for 5 Dalaran Jewelcrafting Tokens each – so you’ll need a whopping 360 tokens to buy ’em all.
Edit: As of 3.2 going live, the patterns cost 4 tokens each, requiring 288 tokens in total.
Where Do the Gems Come From?
Blizzard have made it pretty easy to get epic gems, but nothing’s sure except death and taxes:
Jewelcrafting
You can prospect Titanium Ore for epic gems, although they’re not guaranteed. As a guide, I just did 13 prospects (ie 65 ore’s worth) and got:
- 4 epic gems,
- 3 rare gems,
- 20 uncommon gems, and
- 8 Titanium Powder (which can currently be used for a quest handin on the PTR; according to commenters Catreina and Megree, this rewards 1 Dalaran JC token per 10 powder).
Obviously, this isn’t a big enough sample to get a realistic idea of drop rates; this could have been a very unlucky (or lucky) batch.
Edit: I just did another batch of prospecting (9th July, PTR build 10072) and 350 ore netted me 18 epic gems, 8 blue gems, 99 green gems and 62 titanium powder. This looks like about a 1-in-4 ratio for getting epic gems out of a prospect, which is pretty expensive given the scarcity of titanium; that will likely keep epic gem prices high.
Alchemy
You can transmute all six colors of gem. The transmutes for five of the gems are taught by the Dalaran Alchemy trainer, while the Cardinal Ruby transmute is taught by a quest from the same NPC. It’s a simple quest, requiring you to complete 5 epic gem transmutes of any other color.
Edit: the transmute mats have changed; thanks to Simes for alerting me.
- Red: Cardinal Ruby (mats: 1 Scarlet Ruby, 1 Eternal Fire)
- Yellow: King’s Amber (mats: 1 Autumn’s Glow, 1 Eternal Life)
- Blue: Majestic Zircon (mats: 1 Sky Sapphire, 1 Eternal Air)
- Orange: Ametrine (mats: 1 Monarch Topaz, 1 Eternal Shadow)
- Green: Eye of Zul (mats: 3 Forest Emeralds)
- Purple: Dreadstone (mats: 1 Twilight Opal, 1 Eternal Shadow)
(Edit: Note that the mats for the Eye of Zul have changed again, as of build 10072; thanks to Michelle for the headsup.)
On the PTR the transmutes have no cooldown; however, Blizzard has given stuff a cooldown late in the testing process beforehand, so there’s no guarantee they won’t on this one too. (Edit: they now all share the same 20-hour cooldown timer as the titanium and Eternal elemental transmutes.)
Emblems
You can buy all six colors of epic gem from the Emblem of Heroism Quartermasters in Dalaran; they cost 15 Emblems each. (Edit: red, blue and yellow gems now cost 20 Emblems, and orange, green and purple gems cost 10 Emblems each.)
PvP
You can buy all six colors of epic gem from the Jewelcrafting Quartermaster in the PvP vendor centres in Stormwind and Orgrimmar. They’re currently set at 10,000 honor, which is the same price as rare gems on live servers, so I suspect that price may increase.

Reviews for "The Celenial Witch Dress: A Fashion Statement with a Magical Twist"
- Samantha - 2 stars - The Celenial witch dress was a huge disappointment for me. The material was cheap and felt itchy against my skin. The fit was also off, it was too tight in some places and loose in others. Additionally, the design was not flattering at all, it made me look shapeless and frumpy. Overall, I would not recommend this dress to anyone.
- Rebecca - 1 star - I cannot express how much I disliked the Celenial witch dress. The color was nothing like what was shown in the pictures, it was a dull and faded version. The stitching was also poorly done, with loose threads visible all over the dress. The sizing was completely off, as it was way too small even though I ordered my usual size. I would not waste my money on this dress again.
- Matthew - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Celenial witch dress, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. Firstly, the material was thin and see-through, which was not mentioned in the description. It was impossible to wear without additional layers underneath. Secondly, the dress arrived with a strong chemical smell, indicating poor quality control. Lastly, the fitting was strange, it was tight around the chest but loose around the waist, which made it look unflattering on me. I would not recommend purchasing this dress.
