wow Tools of the Trade in Patch 8.1.5

[Stan 5,243]

New Profession quests called Tools of the Trade are coming in Patch 8.1.5. They were first shown off at last year's BlizzCon and some of the items have been added to the game in the initial 8.1.5 build.

Tools of the Trade questlines provide players with powerful perks. While they haven't been enabled on PTR for playtesting yet, BlizzCon 2018 shed some light on the various items that players will be able to acquire in the upcoming content update. For example, Jewelcrafters will be able to remove an embedded gem from one of their socketed items and Blacksmiths will gain the ability to repair a piece of their equipment instantly, on a 1 hour cooldown, thanks to the Khaz'gorian Hammer.

The following Tools of the Trade items have been unveiled so far:

Alchemy

• Silas' Sphere of Transmutation - "The sphere's surface swirls and shifts, showing different images for brief moments, never long enough to see what they actually are."
  • Use: Concentrate on the sphere to transmute it into another object for 1 hour.
  • Highlights and allows the player to interact with various cauldrons on Kul Tiras and Zandalar.

Blacksmithing

• Khaz'gorian Hammer - "This hammer may be used in lieu of a normal blacksmith hammer for crafting."
  • Use: Allows the user to repair a piece of their equipment instantly. (1 Hr Cooldown)
  • When crafting blacksmithing armor or weapons, there's a chance it will be given the "Indestructible" property.

Enchanting

• Iwen's Enchanting Rod - "Eldritch magic caused the rod to thrum with power. Can also serve as any lesser runed enchanting rod."
  • Use: Consume 1 Veiled Crystal to animate an inert golem. (10 Sec Cooldown)
  • Gain extra resources when disenchanting.

Engineering

• Ub3r-Spanner
  • Use: Summons an Ub3r-Construct to assist the caster for 20 seconds. If no Ub3r-Construct is specified, a random one will appear. (15 Min Cooldown)
  • Enables the engineer to craft Ub3r-Constructs.

Inscription

• Sanguine Feather Quill of Lana'thel - "It was never known if Lana'thel was the creator of the quill, or merely the inspiration behind its design."
  • Use: Siphons the blood of the dead around you, restoring your own health in the process.
  • Allows for the creation of Blood Contracts.

Jewelcrafting

• Jewelhammer's Focus
  • Use: Using the focus, carefully extract an embedded gem from one of your socketed items.
  • Allows the holder to interact with shrines around Kul Tiras and Zandalar, focusing the light from the zone through the lens in order to create a geode of gems.

Leatherworking

• Mallet of Thunderous Skins
  • Use: Summons a special mount which can only be ridden within Kul Tiras and Zandalar.
  • Allows the player to interact with special drums within Kul Tiras and Zandalar, granting them a buff for 1 hour.

Tailoring

• Synchronous Thread - "A stitch in time saves the world from its demise."
  • Use: Allows Synchronous Tailors to mend tears in the fabric of time.
  • The threads of time sew cloth from past, present and future. Cloth displaced in time can be found more often in the world.

Getting my kraken eyes back sounds bad compared to free flask/pots if you ask me

I'd be happier if they gave better crafting recipes for higher ilvl gear like they did with legendary crafted items instead of these "Tools". When season 2 hits, the 340 gear will be very obsolete and it will be hard to get any gold for any tradeskill.

Where are our engineer ports?

I have no idea what this means.

The BS hammer reminds me of the Vanilla Mithril Order's final culmination of efforts, allowing you to summon an epic 1h mace.

Let's admit one can make more gold with WOD 132 ilvl crafted items.

the level restriction should be removed from the 310, to be able to wear at lvl 111. Simmilar to WoD.

So more stuff I'm locked away from having because I don't belong to a guild that can do mythics.  Tradeskills have completely sucked this expansion (and most expansions), and Mythic difficulty (and punishing people for not being in a guild that can run them) is one of the worst additions ever to the game.

Jester if you are Alliance, you are more than welcome to tag along with me as I tank mythic+9 and 10s in time each week. Don't need a guild to make friends and contacts for mythics/m+ runs!

There is nothing mythic mentioned in this post.  

Wowhead comments for the Tailoring side of it are showing you can do Waycrest normal for the mats to create these.
