Engineering Helmet queston.

[Bahomit]

I was wondering why the new 525 Engineering Helms have a level requirement of "81" when some of the matts [(orb)as they are BOP] are unattainable till level 85 from a heroic. To me it just seems silly as myself and prolly many have speed leveled engineering to max just so one is able to lvl with these sweet goggles only to find out that the lvl 81 requirement is really 85. Any blue able to shred some light upon this topic would be much appreciated.

Thanks

PS, cogs(the engineering gems) unable to be made till you finish a quest line in Twilight Highlands which doesn't start till lvl 84.

I posted this on the wow forum and got nuttin so I'm trying here.

They probably plan to remove the BOP tag from orbs when they become less useful (4.1)

/shrug I wouldn't know for sure but I know that it's been like that since TBC. The goggles always had a required level of about 1/5 of the way to the lvl cap form the previous level cap even though they required mats that were bop at the time of release.
