Profession Cooldown Adjustments in Phase 4 - WotLK Classic

October 07, 2023 3 minutes

Hey there, WoW enthusiasts! Today, we're here to bring you some exciting news about Phase 4 of World of Warcraft's "Fall of the Lich King," which is set to launch on October 10, 2023. If you're a dedicated player, you might have already noticed some interesting changes to professions on the PTR. In particular, Titansteel Bar and Tailoring Cloth no longer have long cooldowns for crafting! So, if you're eager to dive into all the new information about Phase 4, keep reading our comprehensive guide below.

Phase 4 "Fall of the Lich King" Overview

One of the most notable changes in Phase 4 is the removal of cooldowns and location requirements for crafting certain items. This affects Titansteel Bar, Moonshroud, Spellweave, and Ebonweave. Previously, these items had cooldowns, meaning that players had to wait a certain period of time before crafting them again. Additionally, there were specific locations where you had to be in order to craft these items. However, with the upcoming patch, these restrictions will no longer be in place.

It's worth mentioning that although the cooldowns for crafting tailoring cloth have been removed, this change also means that you will no longer receive the personal buffs associated with these cooldowns when crafting. These buffs used to provide additional benefits to players, but they will no longer be available after the update. It's a trade-off, but it opens up more flexibility for players to craft these items at their convenience.

This change was actually introduced in Patch 3.3.3, and it perfectly aligns with the upcoming Phase 4 of "Fall of the Lich King." It's great to see Blizzard continuing to streamline the profession system and make it more accessible and enjoyable for players. However, do keep in mind that other profession cooldowns, such as Alchemy Transmutes, will still remain in effect, so plan your crafting accordingly.

Patch 3.3.3 Notes

  • Mining

In Patch 3.3.3, the cooldown for creating Titansteel Bar has been completely removed. This means that players can now freely create this powerful material without having to wait for a cooldown period. However, if you had the ability on cooldown before the patch is applied, you still have to wait for the cooldown to expire naturally before it is permanently removed. So, make sure to check your cooldown status and plan your mining exploits accordingly!

  • Tailoring

For Tailors out there, the cooldown and location requirements for creating Moonshroud, Spellweave, and Ebonweave have been lifted as well. Similar to mining, if any of these abilities were on cooldown before the patch, you'll have to wait for the cooldowns to naturally expire before they are permanently removed. This change gives tailors the freedom to craft these powerful fabrics without any restrictions, allowing for smoother gameplay and more flexibility in profession choices.

Item Cooldown
Titansteel Bar No cooldown
Moonshroud No cooldown
Spellweave No cooldown
Ebonweave No cooldown

With the removal of cooldowns and location requirements for crafting Titansteel Bar and the tailoring cloth in Phase 4 of "Fall of the Lich King," players can now focus on exploring the world, taking on challenging quests, and creating powerful gear without the frustration of waiting for cooldowns to expire. It's an exciting time for WoW enthusiasts, and we can't wait to see how these changes improve the overall crafting experience. Stay tuned for more updates from WowCarry as we journey deeper into Phase 4!

Final Thoughts

As Phase 4 "Fall of the Lich King" draws near, the removal of cooldowns for crafting certain items brings a breath of fresh air to the profession system in World of Warcraft.
