While datamining WoW Forever, we found traces that indicate that Blizzard might be preparing to release expansive crafted tier sets that become stronger, with more pieces available, as new phases launch.
How to Craft Tier Sets in WoW Forever
First, you’ll need to obtain the recipes for the items. We don’t know yet where the recipes come from, but they will likely drop from endgame content like max-level dungeons or raids. Below are two examples of patterns from these sets.
Note that one of the materials required for this craft is Malleable Essence of Nature. This reagent is only obtained when disenchanting items from the two new raids, Hyjal Summit or Barrow Deeps.
Costs per slot:
- Shoulders: 3x Malleable Essence of Nature
- Boots: 3x Malleable Essence of Nature
- Leggings: 3x Malleable Essence of Nature
- Gloves: 3x Malleable Essence of Nature
While requiring raid materials to craft, the created items are Bind on Equip, as seen in the screenshot below, datamined by Community Dataminer Stiven. Note that you may only equip one crafted tier item… for now.
Crafted Tier Set Limitations in WoW Forever
Note that there are many limitations to these crafted sets right now. Firstly, you may equip a single item at the start of Forever. This means you won’t be able to reach a single set bonus. However, there seem to be plans to increase this limit as the game progresses.
The first increase comes as a reward from the new Guardians of Hyjal reputation:
With this increase, players will be able to equip two pieces of their Artisan set and obtain their 2-piece bonus.
You’ll still be heavily limited in crafting these items, as they are gated by disenchanting items from the new raids.
Crafted Tier Set Bonuses in WoW Forever
While the sets are only composed of four items right now, the tier sets have entries for six items, so there are likely more items encrypted for each set.
As everything in Beta, these are subject to change; take the set bonuses with a grain of salt.
