Patch 8.2 - Professions Overview

[MMO-Champion]

Patch 8.2 - Professions Overview
Much like Patch 7.3 in Legion, Rise of Azshara offers a variety of new recipes and items to craft or gather.

• All Kul Tiran and Zandalari professions have an additional 15 points added to the cap, for a total of 175 from 150.
• New recipes have been added to each profession that require these new 15 points.
• All gathering professions have new materials to collect.
• There are items you can find in Nazjatar that unlock specific profession focused events. Activating these events will have you complete a task and provide a bounty of materials or benefits for your profession.

The Abyssal Focus
In Nazjatar, crafters will build up a new crafting station called the Abyssal Focus. This forge is used to craft the new raid gar instead of using consumables from the raid such as Sanguicell.

• A series of quests increase the rank of the focus.
  • Restored Abyssal Focus - Crafts up to Item level 410 gear
  • Empowered Abyssal Focus - Crafts up to Item level 425 gear
  • Radiating Abyssal Focus - Crafts up to Item level 440 gear
• Quests
  • The first quest to restore the focus is Ancient Technology.
  • After you have to collect 15 Abyssal Shard for the quest An Abyssal Opportunity to upgrade it.
  • You then are given the quest We Can Make It Stronger... and are sent into Azshara's Eternal Palace to collect Eternal Ornament.
  • There is likely another step involving the raid after this quest as the previous quest only unlocks the Empowered Abyssal Focus.
• Once you unlock the next rank, you can craft any gear at the focus of the allowed item level or below.
