Abyssal Shatter-benefit or not?

[Uliaoth]

Abyssal Shatter - Disenchants an abyss crystal into greater cosmic essence or infinite dust.

Are we going to benefit from this or is it just a patch change in order to get rid of the abyss crystals gathered from hc farming?And then abyss crystals' prices get high again...?

Want to hear your opinions

[Nangz]

all i'm going to use this for is if it produces more than one of the results.... like if it makes 5 essences they sell better than the crystals they are down to 20g.... the essences at like 10 lol

[Uliaoth]

Probably going to be a failure for gold making.Imagine shattering your crystals only for some pieces of infinite dust.Maybe it will be there to help the new ones who take up enchanting and need these mats to lvl it up.

We have a winner this guy figured out what it's for

[Priear]

Well very eger to hear how many the general shatter provides.

[Deleted]

If it gives 6-10 dusts or 3-4 greater essence, it pretty much ruins the prices on enchanting mats.
Normal ToC is farmable by almost anyone and every drop from there is epic. On my server, the abyss crystals are already worth only 25g, nearly the same as dream shards.

I would like it to give like 7-8 greater cosmic essence PLUS some pieces of infinite dust and then you 'll give it a second thought before playing the smart guy

[Eire]

The first day of ToC alone saw Abyss Crystal prices decline precipitously on Dragonblight. Abyss Crystals were running up to 70g a piece the day before the patch, and had fallen to 27g when I logged off for the night. Since then I've seen prices for Abyss crystals dropping into the high teens, though they don't tend to stay there very long. My guild bank has gone from seeing a handful of Abyss Crystals to growing stacks of the things. Dream Shards have become competitive with the Abyss Crystal market, though Dream Shards have seen a slight decline in their value with the increased interest in heroic runs due to the interest in badge farming.

Shattering Abyss Crystals will actually be quite valuable for a great many guilds, since both guilds which I am active with have an overstock of Abyss Crystals and rarely keep the Dust or Essence on hand.

This will be beyond awesome. Previously there was no real way of farming for dust and essences aside from mats to craft something and DE, which is a big pain. Now if you need a bunch of dust and essences you just take some guildies into ToC reg and reap rewards. I couldn't care less about the ah price.

[Aerikaya]

This should help balance the costs of enchanting mats. Not saying Abyss Crystals will go for what they used to, but will most likely bring the GCE and Inifinite Dust costs down to relative levels with the Abyss Crystals.

I would love to be able to shatter abyss crystals into the other mats. As, once you get to a certain point, you stop getting the items that will give you anything but abyss crystals or dream shards. It will be nice to have another way to get those earlier mats without having to buy or farm greens.

[Jide]

I was pissed that they didn't have many craftable high level greens, big reason why enchanting mats are so much right now.
I welcome this much needed change, maybe a little late. But nonetheless a good change.

Course, with the Shatter, the price of shards and dusts are going to drop like a brick.

The prices of GCEs and dusts will decrease but the prices of abyss crystals will increase.Not much,but certainly,much more than their current price.

now abyssal shatter...

infinite dust is a reagent for 61 items/enchants
GCE is reagent for 42(don't count the LCE made) items/enchants
LCE is reagent for 7(don't count the GCE made) items/enchnants
abyss crystal is reagent for 16 items/enchants

anyone who studied some maths and/or marketing will understand who benefits more....

[LavaDuck]

It was only a matter of time before they made this spell.

[Aranes]

Indeed. Good Change!

[bbr]

Don't think I'd use it.
We might for the guild bank though.

Cloth > greens > dust.
Alts > cloth&greens > dust.

[Exionfatalis]

I think it will benefit the guilds that have a high enchanter that can de purples and get the abyss crystal so that if they do have the abyssal shatter they can get mats so they can get higher in the enchanting so that they can get to 450 enchanting and use them.

[NotValidAnymore]

I like this change, because I have around 60 Abyss Crystals in the bank already. When you're the über-tank and disenchanter that helps out doing Trial of the Champion to gear up alts, well, you get a lot of crystals. So this change is welcome.
