    Ohhh I missed that blue post! Okay that would be much better than another plant to my collection XD I have the two tentacle trinkets still and this would be much nicer than their cd and only out of combat!

    Why not make a suggestion that BS requirement from keys should be removed? It's actually kind of stupid, that you need to be BS to even use a key (to unlock the chest).

    ----------

    Removing all rods from the reach of the enchanters is just a lazy approach. Instead of doing a "clean-up" of a profession (which should be done!), Blizz just removes "the annoyances", like head enchant and/or a choice which quest reward to take. /

    I recently levelled up enchanting on my low pop server. As it turned out, I was forced to level a toon with full blacksmithing as well because rods weren't available on the AH.

    Sure I could have spent a load of time spamming trade with "LF BS" but I found it easier to just level a Blacksmith than go through that pain.

    Getting away with rod requirements is well overdue these days.

    You can update your beta client now btw. Small download.
  1. Snowkatt's Avatar
    I would rather they remove the need to rely on another profession but keep the rod in place. Instead of totally doing away with the rod, which is basically what happens when you drop it to a copper rod, how about something like this.

    On the Enchanting Supplies vendor, add in new levels of rods. These would be base mats. Call em sticks, base them off different types of wood or something. Doesn't matter, but instead of a Enchanters need of a Blacksmith to get a rod, the 'rod' is on the vendor.

    Then for that level, say for cataclysm, the enchanter has to 'enchant' the rod with current content materials. Say the base mats that cover the contents green items and low ilvl blues. I dunno, say 10 dusts, 5 lesser essences, 2 greater essences and 1 shard.

    POOF!

    Make your rod.

    It'll keep enchanting like it is and it'll make it easier to simply remove the requirement to rely on the AH or a Blacksmith for the profession. Could even have to make another rod to handle the 'end game' enchants. Double the mats and add in a Crystal or two. That is a minor QoL improvement that doesn't gut the uniqueness of the profession.

    Hrm... would like to see these changes in game, yet the freaking client wont update for me!

    Red isnt the problem for leveling enchant, unless your guild is small and your server is half dead, it is the recipe and materials that pains us.

    I find it amusing that a shield increase your parry too.

  1. Taliira's Avatar
    there is a new quest that leads to jade forest which is still closed. It's nice to finally see the way you get there though. It seems like one cinematic is missing but it plays another cutscene as you come into pandaria to set up the initial crash( at least for the horde side )

    They finally sorted enchants in the enchanting window
    I thought I could get some free Sha Crystals by disenchanting the free high lvl pvp gear, but they yielded Maelstrom Crystal of course
