The orange suit of the World of Warcraft Shadow World has both advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that you don't have to look at the face to fall, and the disadvantage is that the "embryo" needs a lot of gold coins. Based on these advantages and disadvantages, the professional skills of the 10.0 version will have a major revision, no longer emphasizing the investment of gold coins, but paying more attention to material collection, and can create BIS equipment, group ben wilderness or leisure players, can get real equipment improvement from professional skills!
The development team plans to increase the role of professional skills in version 10.0, the most basic of which is the manufacturing equipment, and the equipment created by each professional skill can compete with other sources of advanced equipment, and even some of the bis equipment specialized in the profession.
However, this does not mean that players need to improve a certain professional skill in order to obtain manufacturing equipment, because they can collect materials and hang on the professional manufacturing AH and compete with other players to create it, which can reduce the amount of gold invested by the player.
Crafting high-level equipment no longer uses the skill upgrade mechanism of the orange "embryo", but instead obtains specific materials through other game content, such as challenging a rare monster, quest, group ben, or great secret realm, most of which are soul-bound items.
The designer's explanation for this is that they want professional skills to interact more with the game content, rather than simply collecting ah materials to level up, making advanced equipment and hanging AH, everything to get gold coins. The development team prefers to see players walk out of ah in order to collect materials, and if they want to make the right equipment, they will also seek help from other players through socializing.
For the stage of making equipment, if it is a player of the ordinary difficulty level of the group, as long as you participate in the activities of the ordinary group, you can get enough materials to create some equipment equivalent to the normal difficulty level, and you don't have to do other messy things.
If the player is challenging the Normal Difficulty Group, but wants to get the Hero's Difficulty Crafting Equipment, they need to get more materials from the Great Secret Realm, PvP, or Rare Monsters. This means that the 10.0 version of the new regiment is open to the wilderness, the role of binding has been reduced, and the professionally manufactured equipment will be more helpful to the reclamation, and it is necessary to divide some members to brush the materials to make advanced equipment.
The core idea of the development team's professional skills for version 10.0 is to make the manufacturing equipment as competitive as other equipment, giving the player an effective equipment upgrade. Moreover, it must have a certain "doom protection" effect, such as brushing the regiment several times without seeing a certain part of the equipment, you can fill the part through professional manufacturing to get the joy of equipment promotion.
The designer used three words to summarize the new version of the professional skills, that is, rewards, adventure and social experience, if the player wants, they can continue to use gold coins directly at AH to make equipment, but this is no longer the only option.
In short, 10.0 expertise will become one of the core contents, especially the equipment manufactured, which is no longer a dispensable transitional item. But there is a bad place, that is, the designer also mentioned that some materials will be "rare drops", but also the attributes of soul binding, such as a rare monster drops a specific material, but has a very low drop rate, which requires players to always brush fixed rare monsters, until they get the materials to create the required equipment, depending on how the official version will be optimized.
