It's been a few expansions since a weaponsmith has been a useful tradeskill, does anyone who has started beta know if we will be able to earn some plat again with new weapons and will they be upgradeable ? Would be nice to make weapons again. Regards Kurghan
Since the expansion is introducing weapons that can "level" by gaining "experience", I think weaponsmiths are pretty much SOL except for providing low-level weapons, unless, of course, weaponsmiths get the ability to craft these experience-gaining weapons. As Melkior mentioned, Epic 2.0 is still gonna be BiS, so I guess there should be some investigation as towhether weaponsmiths will be able to create off-hand weapons for dual-wielders that will be worthwhile.
A good idea is to make like the first couple levels for the upgradeable weapons require some type of crafting by the weaponsmith as a required pass through to the higher level upgraded weapons.
