Does Unraveling use Resourcefulness or Multicraft?

I tried WoWhead and IcyVeins, which both have TWW tailoring guides.
Neither of them says if Resourcefulness or Multicraft affects Unraveling.

Am I missing some tooltip in which the game explains this in-game?

Do I equip my Resourcefulness or Multicraft tool when Unraveling?

I asked Perplexity AI, which is usually very good on these kinds of questions in the current expansion, when older information doesn’t confuse things.

Its answer is
Resoucefulness YES, but with suspicion that it may be bugged sometimes
Multicraft NO

In The War Within Tailoring, Resourcefulness does affect Unraveling, improving how efficiently materials are recovered. However, there is some debate and bug reports suggesting that Resourcefulness procs (trigger effects) during unraveling might not always activate as expected, leading some players to believe it works inconsistently or is bugged

Despite this, Resourcefulness is still considered the key stat for unraveling success and reducing resource consumption.

Regarding Multicraft, it does not directly affect unraveling because Multicraft increases the chance to craft additional items but unraveling is a process of breaking down items rather than crafting multiple copies. Some discussions argue that Multicraft should apply to unraveling since unraveling yields trade goods, but this is not currently how it functions in-game

.

For maximum unraveling efficiency, players often use tools enchanted with Resourcefulness and invest in specialization points that boost Resourcefulness specifically for unraveling

.

In summary:

  • Resourcefulness boosts unraveling efficiency and reduces the amount of material consumed.
  • There are bug reports questioning the consistency of Resourcefulness procs while unraveling.
  • Multicraft does not affect unraveling outcomes, only crafting multiple additional items.
  • Optimal unraveling setups focus on maximizing Resourcefulness through gear, tools, and talents.

This aligns with current player guides and community discussions on tailoring in The War Within
