Item Level 385 Crafted Gear Now Requires the Profession to Equip in Patch 8.1

Recommended Posts

Wdpt4Nu.jpg

Redditor Makesmashgreatagain noticed after 8.1 went live that ilvl 385 crafted items no longer work if you abandoned the profession used to craft them.

Update: This was an unintended bug that was recently reverted.

Placeholder for tweet 1072993206856380416

Emblazoned Deep Sea Breeches Emblazoned Deep Sea Breeches now require Zandalari Tailoring (110) as depicted in the screenshot below. The player switched to Alchemy/Enchanting and after Tides of Vengeance, the crafted item was red and gave no stats. The change was omitted from the official patch notes. We don't know at this time if it's just a bug or intended.

Professions

  • Fixed a bug that allowed some Battle For Azeroth crafted gear to be worn by player characters who no longer had the crafting skill to create it.

This was reverted so you can now wear crafted gear that you previously had. The new profession requirement only applies to any future gear you craft. 

How much foresight would it have taken to make sure that currently crafted items will still be wearable? It makes you wonder how terribly that company must be ran internally for such glaring mistakes like this that BFA has had already. 

Sure was nice trying to raid mythic with 330 ilvl.

Yeah it was a bad change, not so much because of locking BoP professions items to that profession, but because it was made midway through a cycle. The Engi goggles had Requires Zandalari Engineering (115) right there on the item, the other professions? Nope. Consistency and communication is important Blizz, the players who made their gear and dropped their profession for another one did nothing wrong, since you didn't communicate the requirement to keep the profession.

Concerning consitency, i do not understand why juwelers can't craft a 385 item while other professions can. It wouldn't even have any mainstate on a ring, so there is no reason to say it would be overpowered. There isn't even another senguicell recipe. Where is the consistency in treating professions equally? - Ah well yeah i forgot, seems to be the new bfa-design-guidline ?

I want to say you will be able to craft a ilvl 355 and a 380'ish ring with the new designs that was released this patch.  However you won't be able to farm some of the new mats till the release of the new Raid.

Mh, so i overread it in patchnotes or it was not mentioned. But if its not possible to get the needed resources before next raid, this crafting is meaningless...

      Since we've entered the Cataclysm Classic pre-patch, we're taking a look at a couple of videos covering the many, many changes that arrived with the original Cataclysm way back in 2010, as they take us through all the major modifications! Cata was the biggest change ever introduced to the actual world of WoW, stepping from the classic look to a new one, and few zones on Azeroth were left untouched.
      While the general feel of most zones was left intact, it's really staggering just how much changed, even with the smaller modifications. Let's start with Kalimdor, from the really big changes like Orgrimmar, the Barrens and Thousand Needles, to the smaller ones like Winterspring, there's plenty to see!
      Then we're on to the Eastern Kingdoms, with Hillsbrad, Loch Modan and the Badlands (as well as parts of Stormwind) leading the way.

      What's your most/least favorite change Cataclysm brought?
