New Profession Crafts in Season of Discovery
Professions are getting new items in WoW Classic Season of Discovery, the most notable of which are the new best-in-slot epic gear pieces.
BoP Crafts and Unlock Steps
Phase 7 Level 60 BoP Crafts
Phase 7 is also not currently looking like it will have massive amounts of new
crafts available, and it is expected that most of your crafting will be for Frost
Resistance gear for Sapphiron and possibly Kel'Thuzad progression, as well as to
get more Sanctified gear count for your Highlord's Seal of the Dawn to
scale with.
Phase 6 Level 60 BoP Crafts
Phase 6 is also not currently looking like it will have massive amounts of new crafts available, with just a handful of Ahn'Qiraj gear being craftable, and none being best in slot.
Phase 5 Level 60 BoP Crafts
Phase 5 is not currently looking like it will have massive amounts of new crafts
available, although it will have some very significant ones, to craft Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker
through the Thunderfury questline, and Spell Hit gear from Zul'Gurub
Tailoring patterns such as
Bloodvine Vest,
Bloodvine Leggings,
and
Bloodvine Boots.
Phase 4 Level 60 BoP Crafts
Phase 4 will have multiple new crafts, mostly related to reputations such as the Fire Resistance gear from Thorium Brotherhood, which is made to help with Molten Core.
Phase 3 Level 50 BoP Crafts
Phase 3 will be having a quest line involving the new Sunken Temple raid in order to unlock the crafting of the following gear pieces:
Fractured Mind Pauldrons is made with Tailoring;
Void-Powered Invoker's Vambraces is made with Engineering;
Mantle of Insanity is made with Tailoring;
Shoulderpads of the Deranged is made with Tailoring;
Paranoia Mantle is made with Leatherworking;
Void-Powered Slayer's Vambraces is made with Engineering;
Membrane of Dark Neurosis is made with Leatherworking;
Shoulderpads of Obsession is made with Leatherworking;
Shrieking Spaulders is made with Leatherworking;
Cacophonous Chain Shoulderguards is made with Leatherworking;
Wailing Chain Mantle is made with Leatherworking;
Shoulderplates of Dread is made with Blacksmithing;
Void-Powered Protector's Vambraces is made with Engineering;
Baleful Pauldrons is made with Blacksmithing;
Fearmonger's Shoulderguards is made with Blacksmithing.
You need to perform the following steps in order to unlock the crafting of this gear:
Enter the Ashenvale nightmare and go south of the shredder boss until you get
the Aura of Paralyzing Dread debuff around 88,68. Once you get it, leave the
nightmare, go to the incursion NPC in Ashenvale and go through the bottom dialogue
options which unlocks the start of the quest chain.
Go to Moonglade and speak to Loganaar, the druid trainer. If he is not showing up for you, try searching in other layers until you find him.
Afterwards, go to Swamp of Sorrows around 13,70 and talk to Itharius in the cave at the bottom left of the zone.
Enter the Sunken Temple with your raid and head deeper into the raid until you auto-complete the quest at the area Dreamscythe and Weaver are fought.
Go back to Itharius, and then back to Loganaar. Talk to the Shadowy Figure that spawns near him, and go through her dialogue for the next quest.
Go to Booty Bay in Stranglethorn Vale and find the injured gnome next to the rogue trainer inside the inn, speak to him for the next step. Leave Booty Bay and head to 40,85, which is on an island to the east. Pick up the vambrace from the dirt pile and hand in the quest to the murloc next to it.
Go back to Moonglade and hand in the quest at the Shadowy Figure to get
the Void-Powered Vambraces. While using them, you can head back to the
Aura of Paralyzing Dread
area in the Ashenvale nightmare and kill the big elite nearby (bring friends)
to obtain the
Mantle of Nightmares.
Finally, return to the Shadowy Figure in Moonglade to learn the relevant
recipes for your 250+ skill professions, which will allow you to use the Inert Mantle of Nightmares
and some
Nightmare Seed drops from Sunken Temple to
craft the epic gear listed above.
Shoulders just need a mantle, but you can use a mantle plus the Void-Powered Vambraces
to craft epic bracers with Engineering as well. The second
Inert Mantle of Nightmares
needed if you want shoulders and bracers can be bought from Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay
(28,76 in Stranglethorn Vale).
Phase 2 Level 40 BoP Crafts
Phase 2 will be having a quest line involving the new Gnomeregan raid in order to unlock the crafting of the following gear pieces:
Hyperconductive Goldwrap is made with Engineering;
Whirling Truesilver Gearwall is made with Engineering;
Gneuro-Linked Arcano-Filament Monocle is made with Tailoring;
Glowing Gneuro-Linked Cowl is made with Leatherworking;
Gneuro-Conductive Channeler's Hood is made with Leatherworking;
Glowing Hyperconductive Scale Coif is made with Leatherworking;
Rad-Resistant Scale Hood is made with Leatherworking;
Tempered Interference-Negating Helmet is made with Blacksmithing;
Reflective Truesilver Braincage is made with Blacksmithing.
You need to perform the following steps in order to unlock the crafting of this gear:
Loot and use Grime-Encrusted Salvage plus 30 silver on the The
Salvagematic 9000! machine inside the Gnomeregan raid.
Pick up the quest from nearby Ziri "The Wrench" Littlesprocket NPC, which requires four item turn-ins:
- 10
Mithril Bar (AH or Mining);
- 5
Greater Mystic Essence (AH or Enchanting);
- 3
GG12-082 Cartridge Fuse drops in the Gnomeregan raid;
- 1
Pristine G-7 C.O.R.E. Processor, which will be explained in detail below.
Go kill the Techbot NPC near the entrance (but outside) of Gnomeregan
for the Corroded G-7 C.O.R.E. Processor, start its quest and return to Ziri
for a follow up you should turn in at Scooty in Booty Bay, Stranglethorn
Vale 28,77.
For the Quadrangulation quest received you need to find four beacons:
- Tanaris at 37,27
- Desolace at 32,73
- Feralas at 28,94
- Dustwallow Marsh at 58,13 submerged under water
Return to Scooty and talk to him to be teleported to Feralas, where you
should pick up the Warranty Claim quest. To complete it, kill Naga in Feralas
around 30,55 or the isle further south until you get Spent Voidcore and
follow up by heading to Desolace to kill demons around 51,75 until a Shadowy
Figure spawns nearby.
Talk to it for Mote of Darkness, which you can combine with the crystal
to form the
Charged Voidcore required for turning in the quest at Feralas
(get teleported to the NPC through Booty Bay again) for the
Pristine G-7 C.O.R.E. Processor.
Once all materials are gathered, turn them in at Ziri in Gnomeregan
to unlock the way to the BoP Level 40 profession recipes!
Phase 1 Level 25 BoP Crafts
Phase 1 had Unique-Equipped: Void-Touched (1) epic gear unlockable after doing a quest line involving Blackfathom Deeps. Much of this gear is still best in slot in Phase 2, and you can find it below:
Extraplanar Spidersilk Boots are BiS for Intellect users, and are made from
Spidersilk Boots with Tailoring;
Shifting Silver Breastplate are BiS for Strength users, and are made from
Shining Silver Breastplate with Blacksmithing;
Void-Touched Leather Gloves are BiS for Agility users, and are made from
Toughened Leather Gloves with Leatherworking;
Void-Touched Leather Gauntlets are not that useful due to all of this gear being unique-equipped and casters mostly wanting the
Extraplanar Spidersilk Boots. These also require
Toughened Leather Gloves and Leatherworking.
All of these items have one thing in common: they require a top-tier level
25 BoE craft from each profession, listed above, and a special epic reagent, the
Shard of the Void.
In order to obtain these Shards, you will have to talk to the Dead Twilight
Cultist body in Ashenvale (17,27). If you have at
least 100 skill in Blacksmithing, Leatherworking,
or Tailoring and used a Elixir of Coalesced Regret, you
will be able to get lore out of him that points towards Old Serra'kis's
corpse in Blackfathom Deeps, just behind Ghamoo-ra.
After talking to the body, you will obtain Handful of Shifting Scales,
which can then be turned in to N'ora Anyheart in Ratchet's inn alongside
5 gold, 40
Strange Dust, 5
Greater Magic Essence, and 2
Small Glimmering Shard
in order to obtain the
Shifting Scale Talisman.
With Shifting Scale Talisman equipped, you can now enter a previously
inaccessible area in Blackfathom Deeps, in the water under the
temple area where Twilight Lord Kelris resides. Inside, you will find
The Box.
Finally, go to the 89,74 map coordinates in Hillsbrad Foothills and use
the white crystal to destroy the box, granting you the Shard of the Void!
Conveniently, you will also be able to learn how to use it to create your new epic
gear from the Shadowy Figure that spawns nearby.
Profession Items for Rune Unlocking
There are also special items used in the unlocking of Runes and other new quests:
Shredder Autosalvage Unit's pattern drops from Sneed in Deadmines and is used to unlock the new rune vendor Grizzby in Ratchet, Barrens.
You will also be able to unlock new Runes by reaching Friendly reputation with the new Durotar Supply and Logistics faction on Horde, or equivalent Azeroth Commerce Authority in the Alliance.
You can increase your reputation with these factions by turning in Supply Shipment
green items randomly looted from world content, preferably after combining them
with the profession materials requested in their description in order to
triple the reputation and amount of currency awarded. This system will lead to a
good amount of demand for basic materials, beyond what players naturally need to
level their professions or consume at low level.
Other New Profession Items
Besides the runes explained above, you can also learn how to create new gear,
such as Phoenix Bindings, by buying patterns from the new
Supply Shipment
factions at Honored reputation.
Revered reputation with these factions unlocks
the bind on equip Recipe: Lesser Arcane Elixir recipe.
Alchemy and Enchanting will also be getting new personal-benefit crafts with
Enchanted Sigil: Innovation and
Mildly Irradiated Rejuvenation Potion,
and Enchanting will now be able to perform the new
Enchant Weapon - Dismantle
and
Enchant Chest - Retricutioner enchants.
Engineers will also be able to craft new bombs, High-Yield Radiation Bomb
and a special bomb usable by non-Engineers,
Ez-Thro Radiation Bomb.
Besides gear, there are also consumables that only work inside the Blackfathom Deeps raid:
Blackfathom Sharpening Stone are ideal for physical damage dealers, and are made from
Coarse Sharpening Stone and
Lesser Magic Essence with Blacksmithing;
Blackfathom Mana Oil are ideal for magic damage dealers and healers, and are made from
Greater Magic Essence,
Strange Dust, and
Leaded Vial with Enchanting.
In order to learn how to create these new consumables, first kill Aku'mai
in the Blackfathom Deeps raid while having Blacksmithing
or Enchanting, and loot Plans: Blackfathom Sharpening Stone
or
Formula: Blackfathom Mana Oil from a path previously blocked by a waterfall
behind Lady Sarevess's room.
