Introduction
With each subsequent Patch, developers introduce something new, whether it is a part of new PvE or PvP content, new locations or any other changes that may influence some part of gameplay. Patch 8.1.5 has not become an exception to the rule; Players with non-gathering professions are able to complete new profession quests, Tools of the Trade, that unlock recipes for Epic Items. Overgear will guide you through all new profession quests and the Items you can craft after completing them. Let’s begin!
Basics
The new Tools of the Trade Questlines are available only for the following Professions: Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Engineering, Inscription, Jewelcrafting, Leatherworking, and Tailoring. To start a certain profession Questline, the Player needs to reach character’s level 120 and have 150 skill points in the BfA-tier of a chosen crafting profession (Kul Tiran for the Alliance or Zandalari for the Horde characters accordingly).
It is important to note, however, that you will get only the recipes as rewards for completing the quests but not the corresponding Items themselves. So be ready to farm varied amounts of special items that all have specific drop locations, like dungeon bosses, concrete mobs from certain World Quests, or even World Bosses.
Let us have a closer look at everything this new update has to offer.
Alchemy
The new Item for Alchemists is the Silas’ Sphere of Transmutation that allows the owner to transmute it into another object for one hour.
To craft this Sphere the Alchemist will need the following ingredients:
Purposefully Potent Potion. Drops from adds close to the Heartsbane Triad Boss in Waycrest Manor Dungeon;
Sphere of Sangaurum. Drops from Priestess Alun’za Boss in Atal’Dazar Dungeon;
Extremely Precise Vial. Drops from Alchemists adds before the third boss in MOTHERLODE!! dungeon;
Sly Rogues Decanter. Drops from Jes Howlis Boss in Tol Dagor Dungeon;
Anchor Weed ×50. This particular grass has a rare spawn and replaces several other types of BfA plants on their spawn spots, so make sure you have collected every grass you see;
Mystical Cauldron – alchemists may craft this item;
Expulsom ×10. This Item may be made by Alchemists or get by scrapping equipment.
As soon as you have finally created the Sphere, you may use it to obtain one of four items to work with them after:
Silas’ Stone of Transportation – summons an all-seeing eye for two minutes that will teleport the user to a nearby safe haven instantly while outdoors in Kul Tiras or Zandalar. Has 9 Minutes Cooldown;
Silas’ Decanter of Disguise – disguises the imbiber as one of a variety of creatures from across the world;
Silas’ Vial of Continuous Curing – restores Player’s health from the never-ending, ever-flowing vial of continuous curing;
Silas’ Potion of Prosperity – increases the chances to create extra items from a Player’s Alchemy recipe list.
Note that all these Items show up randomly but every one of them allows the Player to search various cauldrons on Kul Tiras and Zandalar for flasks and potions.
The Alchemy Questline lets the Hero investigate the dark side of transmutation. In addition, the Player will learn a little bit more about the evasive Silas Darkmoon from the Darkmoon Faire. The first Quest is given by Clever Kumali in Dazar’alor for the Horde or by Elric Whalgrene in Boralus for the Alliance Players.
Blacksmithing
The Profession Item that the Blacksmiths of the Azeroth will get is known as the Khaz’gorian Smithing Hammer. It allows the user to repair a piece of their equipment instantly but, unfortunately, has a one-hour Cooldown.
To craft this Item the Player will need the following:
Titan’s Blood ×30. May be looted from Infused Crag in Silithus, or chance from Infused Bedrock and Infused Crag during the World Quest Azerite Madness.
Precision Blessing Tools – is dropped by Tidesage Council in Shrine of the Storms Dungeon;
Azerokk’s Fist – is dropped by Azerokk in MOTHERLODE!! dungeon;
Storm Silver Ore ×25;
Platinum Ore ×15;
Expulsom ×10. This Item may be made by Alchemists or get by scrapping equipment.
The Khaz’gorian Smithing Hammer will allow its owner to repair any single part of his gear for free every hour. What’s more, crafted Blacksmithing gear (both armor and weapons) will have a chance to proc the Indestructible stat, meaning they do not take durability loss.
The Blacksmithing Questline sends Players to Deepholm where they earn the ire of Therazane. The first Quest is given by a Blacksmith profession trainer Forgemaster Zak’aal in Zuldazar or Grix “Ironfists” Barlow in Boralus.
Enchanting
The new Enchanter’s Item is called Iwen’s Enchanting Rod and it allows a Player to summon a golem to fight for him or her. One Veiled Crystal is needed to do it though. In addition, this Item gains extra resources while disenchanting.
To craft Iwen’s Enchanting Rod a Player will need the corresponding recipe and the following:
Expulsom ×10. This Item may be made by Alchemists or get by scrapping equipment;
Veiled Crystal ×15;
Umbra Shard ×25;
Lingering Drust Essence ×50. This Item may be looted from many enemies within Waycrest Manor Dungeon;
Runestone of Thros – drops from Gorak Tul in Waycrest Manor Dungeon;
The Enchanting Questline explains the lore of the ancient Drust and the Thornspeakers a little bit, which is especially very useful for those playing a Kul Tiran Druid. The Questline starts from Enchantress Quinni in Zuldazar or Emily Fairweather in Boralus.
Engineering
The new profession Item for Engineers is Ub3r-Spanner that enables the Player to craft an Ub3r-construct to assist them for 20 Seconds and has 15 Minute Cooldown. If no Ub3r-Construct is specified, a random one will appear. There are three modules to choose from:
Ub3r-Improved Target Dummy – is a target dummy which also draws aggro from you;
Ub3r S3ntry Mk. X8.0 – a mechanical dog that attacks your target;
Short-Fused Bomb Bot – the army of bomb bots that explode on your target.
The certain module will stay at your side for two hours.
To create the Ub3r-Spanner the Engineer must have the following Items:
Expulsom. This Item may be made by Alchemists or get by scrapping equipment;
Platinum Ore ×10;
Storm Silver Ore ×15;
Insulated Wiring ×50. The Item is sold by Vendors;
Miniaturized Power Core ×2. It may be found in Sabertron models deployed in Northwestern Stormsong Valley and those in the Abandoned Junkheap in Tiragarde Sound;
Static Induction Matrix – is looted from Galvazzt in the Temple of Sethraliss Dungeon;
Coin Return Flipper – drops from Coin-Operated Crowd Pummeler in MOTHERLODE!! dungeon;
The Engineering Questline shows what the famous Venture Company has been up to since their defeat in the MOTHERLODE!! The first quest will be given by Shuga Blastcaps in Zuldazar or Layla Evenkeel in Boralus.
Inscription
Inscription masters have also got a new profession Item that names Sanguine Feather Quill of Lana’thel. It siphons the blood of the dead around you, restoring your own health in the process. It also allows the creation of the four following Blood Contracts:
Blood Contract: Sacrifice. Summons an Avatar of Sacrifice to heal by your side. This Avatar has the form of a stag.
Blood Contract: Bloodguard. Summons an Avatar of the Bloodguard which acts as a tank. This one looks like a spiky Kodo.
Blood Contract: Bloodshed. Summons an Avatar of Bloodshed which attacks in melee range and has a form of Hyena.
Blood Contract: Oblivion: Summons a spider looking Avatar of Oblivion which attacks as ranged DPS.
Technically every avatar is a temporary pet that will stay with summoner for four hours but none of them is usable in Dungeons, Raids, etc.
To create the Sanguine Feather Quill of Lana’thel a Player will need:
Expulsom ×10. This Item may be made by Alchemists or get by scrapping equipment;
Viridescent Ink ×15;
Crimson Ink ×50;
Coagulated Miasma ×50. The Item drops from the Blood Trolls in the Underrot Dungeon;
Ancient Blood Pigment. This is a World Boss drop;
Gilded Plume that drops from The Golden Serpent Boss in King’s Rest Dungeon.
The Inscription Questline will make the Champion literally dabble in Blood Magic. Zooey Inksprocket in Boralus or Chronicler Grazzul in Zuldazar both will invite you to take a blood bath.
Once a Player drops Inscription and picks it back up again, they can learn the Blood Contracts via Recipe Book: Sanguine Feather Quill of Lana’thel.
Jewelcrafting
The Gems Masters have their specific profession Item as well and it’s called Jewelhammer’s Focus. It allows extracting gems from existing gear without destroying any of them and interacts with geodes to mine extra gems in each zone.
To craft this Item Players will need:
Expulsom ×10. This Item may be made by Alchemists or get by scrapping equipment;
Kraken’s Eye ×10;
Fine Azerite Powder ×50. Drops from Ashvane Company NPCs in Tiragarde Sound location;
Sweete’s Diamond-Studded Spyglass that is looted from Harlan Sweete in Freehold Dungeon;
Unrefined Azerite Geode. Drops from Azerokk in The MOTHERLODE!! dungeon.
The Jewelcrafting Quests will send a Player to investigate shrines of the Earthen. To get started on the first quest in line, a Player needs to interact with a book near the Jewelcrafting trainer Samuel D. Colton III in Boralus or Seshuli in Zuldazar. Do note that this Questline will take you to Dungeons – the Alliance Players go to Tol Dagor while the Horde representatives go to Atal’Dazar.
We kindly remind the Players that upon completing the Questline, you are awarded the Recipe: Jewelhammer’s Focus and not with the Item itself.
Leatherworking
Mallet of Thunderous Skins is a new profession Item for the Leatherworkers. It allows the owner to interact with Drums of Primal Might, providing one of three buffs. It also grants a personal Heroism Haste buff.
Primal Might: Turtle’s Endurance. Reduces all damage you take by 10% and increases health by 10%.
Primal Might: Beast’s Fury. Increases your primary stat by 400.
Primal Might: Cat’s Quickness. Increases your movement speed by 15% and reduces damage from falling.
All Buffs last for 30 Minutes and have a one-hour Cooldown.
A leatherworker will need the following to craft the Mallet of Thunderous Skins:
Long Regal Sinew ×4;
Spirit of the Bested ×15;
Blood-Stained Bone ×50;
Tempest Hide ×50;
Expulsom ×10.
To get started on this Quest, one should speak with the Leatherworking trainers Cassandra Brennor in Boralus or Xanjo in Zuldazar. These NPCs will send the ones who wish to collect rare hides to make a drum with the blessing of Elune or the Earth Mother according to the chosen faction.
Tailoring
Synchronous Thread – is a new Tools of the Trade item for Tailors. It acquires extra cloth from rifts in Kul Tiras and Zandalar, resurrect outdoors via Temporal Recall, and purchase removed old-world Tailoring patterns.
Players are rewarded with Recipe: Synchronous Thread after completing the Questline. To craft this item they will still need the following:
Expulsom ×10;
Tidespray Linen ×100;
Nylon Thread ×100. This Item is sold by Vendors;
Essence of the Sands that drops from Avatar of Sethraliss in the Temple of Sethraliss;
Essence of the Depths. Drops from Dungeon Boss Viq’Goth in the Siege of Boralus;
Essence of the Regal Loa. Drops from Dungeon Boss Rezan in Atal’dazar;
Essence of the Troll Dynasty is a drop from Dungeon Boss King Dazar in the Kings’ Rest.
The Synchronous Thread has several specific features that might be extremely useful for modern Players. They are:
When outdoors in Kul Tiras and Zandalar, you get the Temporal Recall buff that resurrects you upon taking lethal damage.
Sometimes when closing a rift outdoors, you’ll get a Chronal Cache of Cloth. This can yield individual as well as bolts of cloth from any expansion, including rare BoP cloth like Celestial Cloth.
There is a very small chance a Time-Lost Trader appears, who sells a number of lately unavailable or extremely hard-to-find patterns in exchange for Embroidered Deep Sea Satin.
To get started on this Questline Players will need to interact with Timeweaver Delormi the Bronze Dragon disguised as a Nightborne near the Tailoring trainers Pin’jin the Patient in Zuldazar or Daniel Brineweaver in Boralus.
If you need in fast leveling professions – it will require lots of recources from you. Our stock of gold can push these concerns aside.
