Blizzard has revealed a recrafting system for crafted items in Dragonflight. They've also followed up, answering some questions from the WoW Community Council.
Recrafting System in DragonflightEarlier today, Blizzard highlighted a new Recrafting system for World of Warcraft Dragonflight.
Blizzard One thing I want to talk about that we haven’t mentioned yet is the concept of recrafting. It’s still in the works so is likely to change some, but the basic idea is as follows: Recrafting will allow you to take any piece of Dragonflight crafted gear and bring it back into the crafting screen as a crafter. You can then spend a special reagent, plus a small subset of the original reagents from the recipe to “recraft the item”. During this process, you can completely change out optional reagents if you want. The new quality of the item will be determined based on the new setup of reagents, plus your current skill. This means you can have an item crafted at a low quality, then later recraft it when you are higher skill to a higher quality. For non-crafters, we are planning to support recrafting orders as well. In this case, you can send you item to get recrafted to have its optional reagents changed out, or to potentially have its quality increased. All of this should help players feel comfortable having a high end item crafted early, when it might not be at max quality, secure in the knowledge that they can always have it recrafted to be better later. ClarificationsLater today, Blizzard have answered some of the questions from the WoW Community Council.
