Tools of the Trade in Patch 8.1.5

Recommended Posts

New Profession quests called Tools of the Trade are coming in Patch 8.1.5. They were first shown off at last year's BlizzCon and some of the items have been added to the game in the initial 8.1.5 build.

Tools of the Trade questlines provide players with powerful perks. While they haven't been enabled on PTR for playtesting yet, BlizzCon 2018 shed some light on the various items that players will be able to acquire in the upcoming content update. For example, Jewelcrafters will be able to remove an embedded gem from one of their socketed items and Blacksmiths will gain the ability to repair a piece of their equipment instantly, on a 1 hour cooldown, thanks to the Khaz'gorian Hammer.

The following Tools of the Trade items have been unveiled so far:

Alchemy

  • Silas' Sphere of Transmutation - "The sphere's surface swirls and shifts, showing different images for brief moments, never long enough to see what they actually are."
    • Use: Concentrate on the sphere to transmute it into another object for 1 hour.
    • Highlights and allows the player to interact with various cauldrons on Kul Tiras and Zandalar.

Blacksmithing

  • Khaz'gorian Hammer - "This hammer may be used in lieu of a normal blacksmith hammer for crafting."
    • Use: Allows the user to repair a piece of their equipment instantly. (1 Hr Cooldown)
    • When crafting blacksmithing armor or weapons, there's a chance it will be given the "Indestructible" property.

Enchanting

  • Iwen's Enchanting Rod - "Eldritch magic caused the rod to thrum with power. Can also serve as any lesser runed enchanting rod."
    • Use: Consume 1 Veiled Crystal to animate an inert golem. (10 Sec Cooldown)
    • Gain extra resources when disenchanting.

Engineering

  • Ub3r-Spanner
    • Use: Summons an Ub3r-Construct to assist the caster for 20 seconds. If no Ub3r-Construct is specified, a random one will appear. (15 Min Cooldown)
    • Enables the engineer to craft Ub3r-Constructs.

Inscription

  • Sanguine Feather Quill of Lana'thel - "It was never known if Lana'thel was the creator of the quill, or merely the inspiration behind its design."
    • Use: Siphons the blood of the dead around you, restoring your own health in the process.
    • Allows for the creation of Blood Contracts.

Jewelcrafting

  • Jewelhammer's Focus
    • Use: Using the focus, carefully extract an embedded gem from one of your socketed items.
    • Allows the holder to interact with shrines around Kul Tiras and Zandalar, focusing the light from the zone through the lens in order to create a geode of gems.

Leatherworking

  • Mallet of Thunderous Skins
    • Use: Summons a special mount which can only be ridden within Kul Tiras and Zandalar.
    • Allows the player to interact with special drums within Kul Tiras and Zandalar, granting them a buff for 1 hour.

Tailoring

  • Synchronous Thread - "A stitch in time saves the world from its demise."
    • Use: Allows Synchronous Tailors to mend tears in the fabric of time.
    • The threads of time sew cloth from past, present and future. Cloth displaced in time can be found more often in the world.

I'd be happier if they gave better crafting recipes for higher ilvl gear like they did with legendary crafted items instead of these "Tools". When season 2 hits, the 340 gear will be very obsolete and it will be hard to get any gold for any tradeskill.

I have no idea what this means.

Let's admit one can make more gold with WOD 132 ilvl crafted items.

the level restriction should be removed from the 310, to be able to wear at lvl 111. Simmilar to WoD.

So more stuff I'm locked away from having because I don't belong to a guild that can do mythics.  Tradeskills have completely sucked this expansion (and most expansions), and Mythic difficulty (and punishing people for not being in a guild that can run them) is one of the worst additions ever to the game.

Jester if you are Alliance, you are more than welcome to tag along with me as I tank mythic+9 and 10s in time each week. Don't need a guild to make friends and contacts for mythics/m+ runs!

There is nothing mythic mentioned in this post.  

Wowhead comments for the Tailoring side of it are showing you can do Waycrest normal for the mats to create these.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
