Reforging Update

[WSG]

Posted by GC today:



"Imagine reforging could work like enchanting, where there are specific recipes that everyone knows. Example: "Converts Spirit into 50% equivalent hit rating on gloves."



I'm not saying it would work like this, but something along those lines would be pretty comparable to existing features."



Starting to look more and more like this will be the most interesting part of the xpac for twink gearing. [item]Green Tinted Goggles[/item] will be a poor man's fishing hat no more.

Aside from that being just Speculation as to how it would work, I'd still take 15 Stam over 8 Sta and 3 Hit.

This is truth.

Acknowledged that it is just speculation.



Being a glass half full guy, I was imagining 8 stam and 4 hit. There are some classes cough*hunter*cough that get a bit more out of damage stats than stam, imo.



And prior to this, Goggles were just a crap version of the hat. No class prefered 7 spirit over 7 stam on equipment that couldn't be swapped out in combat. It was never better. You can make an arguement for 4 hit or 4 crit or w/e.



Yes, the hat will still be number one, but this brings the goggles a lot closer. Having fished up 12 hats in my time, I would be happy never to participate in the tourney again.



And the goggles is just one example. Hunter stat sticks will likely need to be reforged. Rings and Necks are obvious candidates as well.

Yeah, this reforging thing is looking really neat so far, specially for some pieces of gear, like the wsg neck, [item]Scout's Medallion[/item] - turn that 6 agility into Xintellect? Hells chea, I would trade 1 stam from the thick bronze necklace for some int on a caster

 

[Conrose]

Reforging something from [ITEM]2933[/ITEM] to crit/hit/haste sounds appealing too... Any class will find something undesirable about it.

 

[Spooksters]

exactly, or turn the little bit of STR on [item]Seal of Sylvanas[/item] to Int, or agility, or crit haste or anything, only people that want the strength are like warriors and maybe pallies

 

[Conrose]

[ITEM]1156[/ITEM] a possibility?



Meh, just looked at it, WSG rings would still kick it's ass.



New question though... Can reforging be applied to "Negative" stats?

 

[Grabco]

Make sure you are not forgetting that reforging can only put a stat on an item that is not already present. So you cannot take seal of wrynn and change spirit into str.

Hence why I suggested switching something out for Hit/crit or haste ratings.

LOL. [item]Mindthrust Bracers[/item]. -5 Stam? Nah, how about -2 Strength.



There are so few items with negative stats that they may miss this. Probably worth grabbing a spare Mindthrust just in case.

If it crashes the server every time someone mouses over it, that would be awesome.

That's funny I don't remember quoting you...I was simply adding to the discussion and I was using seal of wrynn as an example because it already has all of the base stats on it. This is actually a perfect example of something that may not be able to be reforged.

It has attributes, but not ratings, the example that was posted by the blue was transforming an attribute into a rating.

but transforming

7 spirit to 7 intellect will be quite better then the lucky fishing hat in all points !

except perhaps for flag carriers

or transforming 7 spirit to 7 strenght

or transforming 7 spirit to 7 agility !



from what has been told of reforging, one will be able to change one stat for another stat that is not on the gear already. that means spirit can be switched to anyhting you like that will help your class.



if its anything of the sort, the googles will become the ultimate twink gear for the head as there is 1 stat that you can switch for anything you need ! reforging will be the pinnacle of what twinking should be. it also is gonna change the way 80 works in end game.



finally we'll be what we want to be and not what we need to be !

What has been told is a use of %'s.

Stop posting.

 

[Twinkzruz]

You realling think its # for # from stats? Because i would take [ITEM]Juggernaut's Vitality[/ITEM] and make that 192 strength, kick some ass.

 

[Twinkzruz]

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.
