Profession Advancements and Fresh Professional Equipment in Phase 3 - Season of Exploration

Season of Discovery Phase 3 is here, and with it comes a plethora of exciting updates for Professions in the game. Blizzard has gone above and beyond to enhance the Profession leveling experience by uncapping Skill levels and introducing new quest chains, gear, and reusable flasks. In this blog post, we'll delve into the details of what Phase 3 has to offer for players looking to make the most out of their Professions.

SoD Phase 3 Launches April 4

Blizzard's recent announcement video for Phase 3 showcased the upcoming additions to Professions. One of the highlights is a series of new quests that will guide players into the depths of the Sunken Temple, the latest raid in the Season of Discovery. Hidden within this perilous dungeon lie the crafting recipes for the powerful Nightmare Armaments, the newest additions to the Season of Discovery crafted epics. These gear pieces showcase magnificent abilities, especially when players find themselves immersed in the influence of the Nightmare. While some of these epics were revealed, Blizzard kept some surprises up their sleeves, teasing the introduction of reusable flasks for Alchemists and more.

The developers also addressed the issue of gold sinks associated with Professions. While they acknowledge the importance of gold sinks, they are mindful of their impact on the gears' progress. As a result, Blizzard has ensured that the new recipes introduced in Phase 3 will have an "essentially free" cost in terms of raw gold. Furthermore, the cost of Gnomeregan recipes will be reduced as well, providing an excellent opportunity for players to acquire these sought-after recipes.

Specializations and Surprises

One of the most exciting additions in Phase 3 is the introduction of Specializations for Professions. Players will finally have the chance to select a specialization that aligns with their preferred playstyle. Blizzard has hinted at surprising elements within these specializations, although specific details remain unknown. However, we do know that Alchemists, for example, will embark on a quest to unlock additional potion, elixir, and flask procs when crafting. This means that in Phase 3 of Season of Discovery, Alchemists won't just be limited to runes but will have more exciting discoveries in store.

Phase 3 of Season of Discovery brings an array of enhancements that will undoubtedly elevate the Professions experience. With uncapped Skill levels, new quest chains, powerful gear, and the introduction of Specializations, players will have more opportunities than ever to fully immerse themselves in the world of crafting and gathering. Whether you're an Alchemist seeking greater alchemical power or a Blacksmith looking for epic gear, Phase 3 has something special in store for you.
