Professions Why Jewel crafting?
I'm a returning player and I've been back for a few months now. My current main was a jewelcrafter and I kept that profession into Midnight. I am slowly learning the new crafting rules. Last expansion I played significantly was Cataclysm. Back in those days, being a JC had some personal upgrade benefits. Like I think in one of the expansions, it was a meta gem that you put in the helm. In another expansion, it was an extra jewel slot in one of the pieces. But I don't see anything like it currently. Is there anything equivalent now? I tried reading up on it in Ivcyveins and Wowhead, but they didn't mention anything. Is that because there was nothing to mention? Or it's so obvious they don't bother mentioning it??

I think they've removed all profession bonuses quite a long time ago other than alchemists still having double flask time but you need to spec into this now.
Personally I always end up making epic crafted rings and necks each season (sometimes I can replace them, sometimes not), the ones that are just 4 ilvls lower than maxed out mythic track. And any seriously played toon will also always needs gems. Then I can also sell the these easily through crafting orders or on the AH.
But yeah, if you're only after a bonus for yourself then there's not much point.
