Gem Perfection for Jewelcrafting in WotLK

October 7, 2008 by Zuggy · Leave a Comment 

I’m not sure how I let this one slip by me, but a new feature for jewelcrafters is going to be added to the profession in WotLK. It’s called, gem perfection, essentially here is how it works.

Gem Perfection Step 1: If you are a jewelcrafter you can complete one the respective gem perfection quests for your faction. You only need to complete one of these quests.

Gem Perfection Step 2: Completing this quest will award you with a new passive jewelcrafting ability, Gem Perfection. This will give chance to cut perfect gems out of your uncommon gem cuts. Perfect gems are essentially the same as a regular uncommon gem cut, just with marginally superior stats. (note: Northrend gems only)

Gem Perfection Step 3: Perfect gem cut examples

Part 1: Death Knight FAQ Guide (basics)
Part 2: Death Knight FAQ Guide (advanced)

Q. What races can be a death knight?
A. Every race has the availability of being a death knight.

Q. Who is eligible to create a death knight?
A. Players who have at least one level 55 character on a realm may create a death knight on that realm.

Q. What if I have a level 55 character on one realm but want to create a death knight on another realm to play with friends?
A. At the launch of Wrath of the Lich King, you will only be able to create a death knight on the same realm where you have an existing level 55 or higher character. In the future, we plan to allow the creation of a death knight on any realm (provided you have at least one level 55+ character).

Q. Can I create a death knight on one realm and transfer it to another realm?
A. Yes, you will be able to transfer a death knight, using either a free character move or a paid character transfer. Normal fees still apply.

Q. Can I create a death knight on one account and transfer it to a new account?
A. Death knights can be transferred with the same fees and restrictions as any other character.

Q. If I move a death knight to another realm now, can I get a refund later when the option to create a death knight anywhere is available?
A. We will not be giving refunds to players who have relocated a death knight to another realm prior to the open creation point for all realms.

Q. Can I create a death knight on the opposite faction?
A. You will be able to create a death knight on the opposite faction provided that it is on a PvE realm. The standard restrictions for character creation apply for PvP realms.

Q. Is there a limit on how many death knights I can create?
A. You will only be able to have one death knight per realm at any one time. Should you delete a death knight, you will still be able to create a new one.

WotLK Enchanting Scrolls

October 2, 2008 by Zuggy · Leave a Comment 

Enchanting has always been a great profession, and it’s getting even better in the wrath of the lich king. Enchanting scrolls are the newest addition to the profession and will allow enchanters to put any enchant onto a scroll. This scroll can then be traded or sold to another player, who can simply apply the enchant themselves, allowing enchanters the ability to put items on the auction house.

The scrolls are easy to make, you just need the regular enchant materials and a special parchment created by inscribers.

Make sure you check out the complete list of WotLK enchants.
