Bridging the Old and the New

Bridging the Old and the New

Sista is getting a history lesson while working her way through the leveling process with Enchanting and Tailoring. Just seeing these old enchants and tailoring items brings back ancient memories. Once again, Tiphaine wishes she'd thought to raid Wild's bank and bags and brought all those mouldering tailoring and enchanting mats that would have greatly helped get those professions up and running.

 Tiphaine still bristles at the restriction that won't allow the Horde and Alliance sides to barter with each other through the Auction House. But no more wishes. It is what it is. There were a great many mats even on the Alliance side, and that has helped. Some of the materials were available on the Auction House, but like many of the older items, they are costly because few farm them.

Sista is leveling both professions at the same time - tailoring items are crafted for leveling and those items are then disenchanted for the items needed to make enchants. It's a rough fit, and not always successful. Both professions have acquired the Draenor recipes, which provides some slight help, but the biggest advantage is that it erases the old method which required multiple levels and simply allows leveling from 1 - 700 using both old and new methods.

Sista went so far as to travel to Feralas and enter the killing fields at New Thalanar. There is a forever war going on there and Sista killed more than a thousand to get the mats she needed.

However, Sista has reached a sore spot in the leveling process. The tailoring items currently being crafted cannot be disenchanted by Sista because her enchanting process isn't far enough along to get that ability. To get that ability she needs vision dust. To get vision dust she needs to disenchant items that give vision dust. But  . . .  you see the problem. The AH is aware, too. The cheap vision dust went fast when Sista started buying, and its now very costly. Sista is still trying to find an alternate solution other than over paying on the AH.

Sista's enchanting is at 246/700. Tailoring is at 356/700. She's also come up with another idea that she's hoping will get her pass this rough spot. The plan was to buy Luminous shards on the cheap, but its too early in the week and the prices were too high. Not an option.

There were a number of recipes for enchanting that had Sista traveling to Darnassus as well as Shattrath City in the Outlands. One day Java is going to go and visit every alliance city and zone. There are so many things to see.

Sista pushed her enchanting up to 330/700, did some disenchants of tailored items, and called it a day. Tailoring will get some love tomorrow.
