I look forward to Woodworking. I am on an RP realm and especially Staves are extremely rare (and therefore horribly overpriced like 200g for a lvl 14 staff) at lower levels. It would be a huge improvement to have them crafted. It also makes sense to let engineers finally craft bows, since we also craft arrows. Housing, especially on an RP realm would be a big thing. I hope they're going to

Jon: I agree with the idea that Woodcrafting does not have enough product viability with the current item types in the game and clearly they're not interested in trying to make it work at this point. I did catch that part about adding items to other profs instead, but since they made no firm commitment to do so I decided to leave it out.

Concerning Woodworking -- I believe the message was that, by itself, woodworking couldn't create a wide enough array of items. However, if a separate system were introduced (housing), it might have a place in WoW (creating furniture). As it stands, it won't be part of Cataclysm.

Other professions can create the remaining "uncrafted" items just as well. Engineering can

BTW, a guildie who went to Blizzcon said that in order to diminish crafting further while doing something ineffective but visible towards gold farmers ( sorry my editorial ) there were going to be new AH limits and other things? Have you seen anything on that?

I think this is another case where the problem is WoW and its focus on the final level. So like fishing, one typical item at "red" skill might always give you a point or more, but you might have to do 40 at 524 for the last point - diminishing returns. Except WoW is all about how level 79.99 or 449 or w/e is so irrelevant so this would be painful. Clearly diminishing returns are a

I really dislike the hit 80 and craft to max skill in 1 day. My suggestion would be to put a cap on how many skill points you could gain per day. Kind of like the way crafting of some items like Titansteel can only be done once per day.

That way, skill leveling a profession takes some time, not just a ton of money.

I did not get what you were trying to say with the woodworking part. There will be woodworking but not for bows?

Reforging sounds interesting because it could allow you to stay at the hit cap without regemming whenever you get a new item.

And it will make it even more harder to create a BiS list, which is good as it should allow for more diversity what the chars wear.

Also,

Hagu: While I agree with your sentiment about power-leveling professions, I'm not sure amping up the difficulty of skill-ups is the right solution. I remember blacksmithing in Burning Crusade and I don't think anyone wants to go back to that. I'd prefer they find some other way to make professions rewarding and enjoyable. I'm thinking of writing some posts in the near future to

Thanks for all your efforts; please keep the info coming!

YMMV, but I was disappointed in the multi-point stuff. Professions in WotLK are pretty trivial; you get to 80, drop your gathering professions, go to the AH, and in a couple of hours you are at max profession or at least 440. You might have had to craft 75 to perhaps 100 things. And that is being simplified? Max profession in

the one thing i was most excited about was teh one thing i forgot to mention! i LOVE the idea of multi-gains! and i will GLADLY put in the time and money to gather the higher mat cost of blues and epics if i get multiple points for it! (i hate making 5 or 10 or 17 of the same item to get to teh next tier)

and i am really interested in how it would work with gathering, esp skinning. maybe
