Paul Kubit, Sr Game Designer for World of Warcraft, dropped a ton info about how Professions will work in Legion.
One huge reveal is there will actually be Profession questlines.
Here’s a run down of everything he talked about:
– Goal – Giving you more stuff to do
Example: you log in on sunday and want to relax by doing professions so we’re going to change recipe acquisition.
– You won’t just log into this expac and learn every recipe you need from a trainer.
We want you out in the world to go on adventures to find recipes.
Example: Tailor starts quest in Dalaran, trainer asks you to go find cloth. It fails, find a new person to help you make it work! Rest of the quest line deals with learning stuff from a Nightborne who also learns from YOU about Dalaran.
Example: Mining – you learn from characters on how to mine more efficiently.
New ore: Ley Ore
– Mining and Herb nodes are SHARED in Legion. Druids won’t steal your nodes!
– Moving recipes out in the world
– Profession questlines, which will teach how to use new materials and deal with other issues and consequences from the questline
– Gathering nodes in Legion will Finally be shared
– Recipes will have ranks Ranks
– Tradeskill UI update
– Can set recipes to a favorites list
– Learned/unlearned tab
– Unlearned gives details about how to get those recipes
– Obliterum – dust or ash which is used to make crafted things into more powerful items
– Obtain Obliterum by taking them to a special forge to destroy crafted items
– Crafted items are special
– – All high level jewelcrafter Necks have guaranteed gem slot & class specific buffs
– – Engineer helms shoot bullets because they are made of gun parts
– – Minor glyphs are usable items, used to augment spells themselves no limit on how many you can use
– Major glyphs will be removed from the game
– Archaeologists have an expansion length quest line
– Cooking will be able to cook bacon and Nomi will show-up to teach new recipies
