Linxy's dropping some spicy
updates with the Undermine(d) patch in World of Warcraft, and professions are getting a solid shake-up as of February 22, 2025. Whether you're a crafting fiend or just dipping your toes into the trade game, these changes - coming live next week - bring flexibility, simplified systems, and some beefy buffs to underperforming items. Let's break it down, see what's cooking, and figure out how to make the most of it without wasting a single gold piece.
Specialisation Resets: A fresh start
Ever get stuck with a specialisation that just doesn't work anymore? Good news - patch 11.1.0 has got your back with a one-time reset option for both the Dragon Isles and Khaz Algar professions. Here's how it works:
What happens: From smoother raids to stronger class mechanics, Blizzard is keeping the grind fresh.Stay tuned to MMOJUGG for more WoW insights - happy adventuring!
Where to go:
Darla Fluxy in Dornogal, chilling outside the Crafting Enclave.
Siben in Valdrakken's crafting market, next to the jewelcrafting station.
Why it matters:
Maybe you're tired of churning out the same old gear, or market trends have shifted (looking at you, oversaturated armourers). This reset allows you to chase what's hot - like in-demand weapon enchants - without starting from scratch.
Tip: Before you reset, check your server's trade post. If a specialisation's items are tanking in price, switch to something juicier - like blacksmithing for those sweet daggers.
Enchanted crests: Crafting made easy
Enchanters, listen up - your life just got easier:
Change: Enchanted Crests no longer need to be crafted. You can now buy them directly from enchanting vendors or Syenite outside the Dornogal Crafting Enclave.
Why it's cool: Eliminates the middleman. No more scrounging for rare mats just to keep your crafting queue moving - grab 'em and go.
Pro Move: Stockpile some gold ahead of time. Prices may spike early on as players rush to tune, so grab those shields while you can.
Tuning Buffs: Boosting the weak links
Blizzard is tweaking a number of underperforming profession goodies - weapon enchants, decorations, and consumables - to make them worth your time (and materials). Here's what's getting an upgrade:
Blacksmithing
Siponing Stilleto: Increases enemy damage by 7%. A subtle buff, but handy for PvE dagger fans.
Enchant
Power of Fiery Determination: Healing increased by 42% (quality 1), 23% (quality 2 & 3). Tanks, rejoice - this may keep you alive longer.
Authority of Air: Damage absorption increased by 148% (skill 1), 110% (skill 2), 100% (skill 3). PvE only, so don't expect it in PvP clutch moments.
Authority of Radiant Power: Damage dealt increases by 23%. Solid for DPS looking for that extra oomph.
Authority of Storms: Damage increased by 45% (quality 1), 23% (quality 2 & 3). Storm chasers, this is for you.
Authority of the Depths: Damage per stack increased by 74% (tier 1), 48% (tiers 2 & 3). PvE only - stack and hit again.
Oil of Deep Toxins: Damage increased by 48%. Poison your enemies harder.
Oil of Beledar's Grace: Heals by a massive 235%. A healer's dream consumable.
Engineering
Pocket Grenade Pouch: Damage increased by 30%. Boom goes the profit margin.
Hidden Chaos Module: Damage increased by 25%. Sneaky and destructive - engineering at its finest.
Jewelcrafting
Captured starlight: Damage absorption increased by 327%. PvE only, but a tank's best friend.
Leatherworking
Sanctified Torch Handle: Damage increased by 48%. Leather DPS, time to shine.
Gold-making Angle: Craft these buffed items ASAP - early adopters can sell high when demand peaks after the patch. Check your server's prices; Authority of Air or Captured Starlight could be goldmines for PvE raiders.
How to play these changes
Smart reset: Use this specialisation reset to jump into an upgraded craft, such as Enchanting for Authority of Air or Jewellerycrafting for Captured Starlight. Tailor it to your playstyle or server economy.
Stockpile Crests: Grab Enchanting Crests early to produce these newly buffed Enchants before the market floods.
Test the buffs: If you've got some extra mats, craft a few of these items and test them out in dungeons or raids. The healing boosts (such as Oil of Beledar's Grace) could save you a wipe, and the damage buffs could speed up your grind.
These changes will take effect next week, after 22 February 2025, so you've got a few days to prepare. Server prices vary, so check your trading post to see what's trending.
