Helmet Enchant?

[Mythic Al]

I found a level 39 twink with a Helmet Enchant of +5 INT on Engineering Goggles. Is it GFed?

 

[FrozenWill]

Yep, 39 twinks were allowed to enchant those goggles at one point. Also. It seems the character you are inspecting is old just by looking at the necklace equipped on her.

 

[Mythic Al]

I see. Thanks for the reply, @FrozenWill!

And the trinket.

everyone was able to have headenchants from the librams back in BC

I put mine on heirloom legs instead, like a dummy.

My old rogue has a helm enchant.

Ya we used to be able to do a quest chain for the enchant. I think it was in the Blackrocks, maybe 6 years ago.

 

[Mythic Al]

I mean, I have seen head enchants before. But I just got curious when I saw it on a currently relevant twink item, versus having it on an heirloom or some other item that was relevant before 300 Engineering yielded BiS helmets.

 

[Warglave]

a currently relevant twink item

Yeah, but that item has been around for a looooong time.

Up until Patch 1.3.0 'Stat Lenses' were able to be created.

 

[Mythic Al]

Yes, I know. But low levels didn't have access to it until the level restrictions for professions were lifted. Which is recent.

Im sorry buddy, I forget - but I'm pretty sure it was a thing in 39 for quite some time.

Here's what the interwebs had to say, about engineering and character level:

Apprentice 5 1 - 75
Journeyman 10 75 - 150
Expert 20 150 - 225
Artisan 35 225 - 300

That seems about right... 225 in the 20's seems very accurate, and 300 at 35 is more than enough for green lens.

edit- im fairly certain that's been the level restrictions since like at worst BC.

edit2- quick search, found this from 2011: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/1921697245

Green lens was bis back during bc/wrath (maybe vanilla too, but I wasnt playing 39s then) for casters. Even if you couldn't find a stam/int/eagle lens etc there were the different +sp ones you could get (shadow, fire, nature, holy etc). 39s was first bracket where green lens was obtainable.

Check out Babyparts on Jaedenar (us), theres a real gem of a helm enchant

I found a grandfathered stam & 2 eagle lens during Cata or MOP on an acct I bought for $10.. fukkin payday bc I sold each for like $100+ before they changed the stat rolls. Feltgoodmen

 

[Chops]

Will forever cry that my perf Stam lens got turned into some useless ass fireflash bullshit

engineering restrictions were since vanilla

you coulnt get higher than 225 on a 29 (xept gnome 240 or w/e ) and 300 on 39

so the lens for 39+ only

but during some wrath patch (idk which because i never really played that shitty xpac) the imbeciles working at blizz@co made it available for 29s too for a short period of time

Wrath was p tight, leaps and bounds better than the last 3 xpacs 100%. But that's a convo for another day.

I dont recall that patch you're talking about at all, giving 29s access to the lens. Maybe I missed it, as I wasnt TOO active @ 29 during wrath, but I feel like that's a hard thing to forget. Any patch notes you can link or anything?

it was that same patch that lets you have 450 herb/mining on a level 5 or lvl 1 or whatever.

Thats how you had 29 twinks with this n shit

https://xpoff.com/threads/glimmering-mithril-insignia.20293/

no he didnt get it in vanilla because it had a lvl 40 req back then bumped down to like lvl 35 or something and then bumped down in wrath to 29

 

[Sanit]

Patch that allowed 450 profs was specific to gathering professions iirc? Engy wasnt affected? Or was that what caused belt tinkers to be a thing?

Also dont recall a level change for Green Lens during vanilla,but again didnt play 39s then

Note: at work right now so cant do the type of research I'd like, sry in advance
