Masterworking material conversion shadow-nerfed

Masterworking materials can now be directly transmuted instead of requiring the opening of a Materials Cache to receive them.

Is NOT the same thing as being a 1:1 conversion instead of the 5:15 convesion they were before. What is the point of Neathiron/Ingolith/Obducite if they all have the same value?! And like-wise, if they all have the same value now why can’t we up-convert instead of only down-convert?

Like, what in the actual hell, Blizz?

UPDATE: Turns out it’s still 1:3 like it was before, but you don’t learn that until you try to craft and see the “Materials Granted” which can be missed. So the UI/UX for this could be improved to be more clear before you even try to craft.

Haha I was just reading the patch notes thinking “…wait, so not 100 higher for 300 lesser? That can’t be right.” I thought I was just being an idiot not understanding the patch notes. Went to the Alchemist and 1:1 conversion. Getting new gear, and speed running lower levels to update new gear feels bad Blizz. Someone didn’t think this through. We didn’t ask you to “fix” this.

Edit: Ahh yes, nvm I’m wrong. I didn’t click the material to see the pop up window. I apologize.

It’s not clear until you try to craft it, this could be improved. But yes turns out I’m wrong.

Yea that’s pretty terrible. Before 25 neathiron got you 75 ingolith. Why bother sticking to higher tiers now when you need to level lower level items.

Edit: seeing updates on this. I guess the wording is just terrible it looks like 1:1 from the text.

It also looks like 1:1 until you try to craft, and even then if you don’t know what to look for it can still seem 1:1

Ty for the clarification
