Reforging Update

Yeah, we'll have to wait and see how this works out - I doubt it'll be 1 for 1 stat conversion, but we'll see ... if it is, I can see rogues taking druid healer gear and just converting it all to agi/stam/ap/haste/crit lawl, might also open up more SP available (green lense, turn the spirit into SP?) or get a couple Lucky Fishing Hats and keep one with 15 stam, but have one with stam and agi, or stam and int, or stam int and sp?

also, i would like to ask, if you could do the following;



Have an item with lets say;



50 stamina

100 spirit



Could you do this;



50 stamina --> Int

100 spirit --> Stamina



The int from above -->> Spirit.



To pretty much switch the two stats.

I highly doubt that would be the sorta case, otherwise I'd be rolling on every piece of caster gear I find for my rogue... which I probably would anyways since everything a caster DPS looks for that isn't something melee can use is being condensed into one stat.



Death Knigh in a dress... hehe, gonna try it for shits and giggles.
 
Ahaha, well i hope to see more on this, and maybe even with reforging you would be able to edit the armor class for a price of a few stats.. Like take a Cloth piece and give 15 int and 5 sp and make it leather.
 
funny how like everyone else, i post a theory yet all i receive are flamings... yet others can post their bullshit theory as well and not get flamed.



in all seriousness, reforging won't be any part of what we all said.

but i'm sure it will make twinks happy as it will enable users to do what they want with the gears they have !

Read the Blue post I quoted at the start of the thread, ffs.



The only things confirmed by blues is that:

A) Reforging will allow you to trade one stat for another that is not already on the item.

B) It will not be a 1-for-1 trade.



EVEN those points are subject to change so the word "confirmed" should be taken lightly. But Blues have specifically RULED out your theory. That's why yours was flamed.



On a side note, it will be interesting to see how reforging things to and from stamina will work. As most know, the amount of item budget that stam takes up was changed in TBC. It takes 1.5 stamina to take up 1 point of item budget. Thinking of items that this might come into play...Maybe the [item]Lavishly Jeweled Ring[/item] could be reforged into either 3 agi/2 hit OR 4 stam/2 hit. This would make reforging stats into stam better than other stats at our level. Gloves of the Fang for hunters!
 
So I believe I am assuming correctly that tailors will be able to reforge cloth, Blacksmiths -mail, Leatherworkers- leather items. I wonder if someone that chooses one of these crafting professions will get a reforging advantage that is profession specific? I also wonder what level reforging will be trainable

Didn't they also mention JC and Engineering? If so, I would anticipate that they'd not restrict any of them by armor class.
 
JC's for rings and jewlery reforging? Engineering---trinkets?...you got me there but surely not every craft profession will be able to reforge everything the same.



JC and Engineering are two of the more popular professions at the higher levels. I am guessing Blizz is trying to lure people back into picking up the other crafted professions so yes I think there will be some differences in reforging between BS, Tailor, LW, JC, and Eng

That wasn't your first stupid post.
 
yeah yeah yeah like yours are never stupid...

listen i never flamed you for whatever you said, i never flamed anybody in my post and was merely saying what i thought reforging would be. just like everyone else, so if you wanna flame me for being who i am, then please dont ! or do it thru emails or whatever but not public.





WSG:

it doesn'T matter, the main point of my argument was that those who say goggles will still not be better then fishing hat are off. let's say its a 2 on 1. they really can't go higher then that to make it good, anything else will just make it bad. it is still good to see a hat with +8sta. +3int, +1spi and considering how spirit and intellect will change, i can safely assume how lucky fishing hat, if still existing back then, will just be that a life hat while the googles can be survival while still providing the amount of SP and mana you deserve for a caster.



googles will become easily the best Dps gear !

but all this is speculation to begin with, i mean... we don't even know if any of the mentionned gears will still be there. they will, after all, redo the whole of the profession gears anyway !
 
Arthurian, I can see your point about the goggles, but lets take a quick look at it:

[item]Green Tinted Goggles[/item] = 8 stam 7 spirit = 15 stat points

[item]Lucky Fishing Hat[/item] = 15 stam = 15 stat points



Couldn't you, in theory do the EXACT SAME THING with the fishing hat that you could with the goggles? convert 7 stam from a fishing hat to what ever, then you would have 8 stam and x other stat...while still keeping skinning and herbalism instead of having to have engineering



the hat will also be better cause if you have multiple hats, you can have multiple sets (yes, you can with the goggles as well...but) convert all 15 stam of one hat to all agi? or all int, or all sp, etc etc etc



I am failing to see why the goggles will beat the fishing hat :\
 
Will be interesting to know if you can reforge all items, and how often an item can be reforged. Eventually we will need to make a list of items to watch. I am watching items with a large amount of spirit for now. As soon as they release the reforging recipes we will know a lot more.



For now don't delete any items from quests. I almost got rid of the 1stam 6spirit ring from glacial stone quest

Ten bucks says you can't reforge other people's gear.
 
I'll cry if you can't Conrose, if you can't it'll mean you have to be a LW'er/Tailor/BS or some shit, who's going to roll with alchemy? no one. D:
 
spookster, i give you that much...

but still thinking it will be better to throw out engi for another profession is just biased as much. i mean they did say they will change engi to bring back to what it was back in the days of vanilla.



but here it is, the fact remains...

even if its a 2 on 1, the hat will not be the only possible options.

and considering that everything will changes, its to be guessed that the fishing tournament will be gone as well, for all cities and places will change thus booty bay might not be the same anymore.



look in the video, we see ratchet completely destroyed and i'm guessing booty bay will as well as goblins will be coming from an island near the maelstrom. but i do agree about your fishing hat being the same as google when it comes to stats. the only reason why i think hat will be better then googles is the fact that it has only 1 stat to begin with. and if i follow that theory then the +13 leather jacket will become th ebest gear as well for reforging.



i do hope reforging works for more then those who have the prof to do it. i'd too be disappointed if it was the case.
 
Purely speculation, could be that items can only be reforged once, this might make things more interesting. Also there are probably going to be recipes so there won't be as much customization as you might think. For instance goggles (convert 5 spirit into 3 agi) for a total of 8stam 2spir 3 agi. May not be able to take all of one stat and convert it into another.
