profession question for those in beta...

[frieliegh]

since I haven't gotten my invite yet, and haven't run into any info on *this* yet - does anyone know if they're going to be making the professions as hair tearingly grindy in MoP? You know, the "you have to do several days' worth of dailies to collect the tokens to get ONE recipe/cut/whatever so you can skill up while you do enough dailies to get

I dont have access to all the professions yet, but from what I've seen, they've implemented the ability to purchase the next step of training (Im on my work laptop and not my home PC so I can't check to see what it's called), but they haven't, that I've found so far, implemented any of the new recipes/schematics/plans, etc.

Nor do they have any of the mats in yet aside from the cloth. My hunter's a miner and my pally's a herbalist, and I haven't found a single node on either.

Thank you. Honestly, I do appreciate any word, even if it's "dunno yet." =)

Heck, ESPECIALLY if it's "dunno yet" because it's nice to know I wasn't just blindly missing something! :D

There is also leather from skinning, so you can train and max out the new skinning, but nothing to do with it as there's no leatherworking recipes.

Whatever they did in the last patch they put out on the 6th borked some things pretty badly. Mobs aren't dropping quest items, quest items aren't spawning and from what I've heard, they're not skinnable either at the moment. I mean, it's beta, and early beta, so I'm sure they'll get it all hashed out, but it's a bit hard to test things that simply aren't working. ;)

[jeymien]

Ah, yes. I haven't been on my skinner since before the patch, when I got to 86. There was leather to be skinned then!

[maleficently]

I haven't tried it on my skinner since the patch either, there was just some grumbling on the beta forum and general before I turned it off, so...

[jeymien]

Yeah, I was playing my little panda monk and I noticed that quest items I should be getting from quest givers weren't showing up, so makes sense that there's nothing to skin either.

[sarayana]

Ah ok, that makes sense. I didn't bring my skinner over so I didn't even think about that. What's the new leather called?

[jeymien]

Tanji Leather Scraps, Tanji Leather, Heavy Tanji Leather, Prismatic Scale and Magnificent Hide (blue)

Thanks. :)

The next level is Zen iirc.
