In the next update of World of Warcraft (WoW), legendary items can be crafted – if the data miners are to be believed.
On the official test server of World of Warcraft, there is currently an early version of patch 7.2 “The Tomb of Sargeras”. In addition to new dungeons, quests, and a raid, there will also be some changes to the reward systems in the game.
Many players criticize that the distribution of legendary items in the game is subject to too much randomness. Especially professional guilds are frustrated that they rarely get the “best” legendary for their character and therefore have to forgo certain players because they cannot meet the optimal requirements. This leads to frustration among players and guild leaders.
While Blizzard has already made improvements in the past – such as increasing drop chances for legendaries – this has still not been enough for many players.
Apparently, patch 7.2 will introduce a new way to obtain legendary items: crafting.
The data miners from mmo-champion and wowhead have already extracted some files that indicate new legendary items for tailors, leatherworkers, and blacksmiths. These are associated with new quest lines that require multiple steps from the crafters. As it stands, bosses from dungeons must be defeated, and a lot of crafting materials need to be gathered.
The legendary items themselves are still not “complete”; they are missing the typical effects. Apparently, Blizzard is still fine-tuning the exact bonuses.
However, all information should be taken with caution – the current PTR version is still far from a “final” status.
Cortyn states: Craftable legendary items seem to be a good way to address player complaints – provided the new legendaries are indeed “good.” It remains to be seen whether other professions will receive legendary gear as well or if this will only be the case for the 3 “specialists.” In any case, the system offers not only potential for many improvements in the game but also for numerous complaints about why “profession XYZ” is not getting anything.
Patch 7.2 of WoW also brings back the legendary battleground “Southshore vs. Tarren’s Mill”!
