Changes: Reforging

Revision as of 12:30, 4 October 2009

Template:Cataclysm

Reforging is an ability currently being developed in Cataclysm for Jewelcrafters, Engineers, Tailors, Blacksmiths and Leatherworkers that will allow for some customization of stats on Items.

The idea is to allow a Blacksmith to take a Mail or Plate item which contains (for example) 50 Stamina and 50 Agility and remove half of one of these stats for another. Stats already on the piece can not be augmented. A new stat can be created using the "points" available. (Swapping 25 Agility points and creating a 25 Spirit augment using this example.)

Other professions will be able to do the same for their own lines; Tailors will deal with Cloth Augments, Leatherworkers will deal with Leather Augments, Engineers with Trinkets and Ranged, Jewelcrafters with Rings and Necklaces.

Reforging (in its current incarnation) will have no affect for "on use" or passive effects on Trinkets and Ranged, but will be able to change Stats all the same.

Purpose

It has been stated that Reforging is not intended to be used routinely on all items, like Enchanting, but to allow more classes to conceivably roll on potential upgrades, rather than being forced to [Disenchant].
