Enchanting Vellums

I just read something where someone suggested Enchanting vellums that can be sold on the AH, which would make enchants more accessible to everyone; it would also make it so you don’t have to stand in capitals for hours on in spamming your services. I guess the one argument is it gets rid of the core aspect of the game, but idk, as an enchanter, sounds like it would be pretty awesome. I understand it’s not in classic, just wanted peoples thoughts on the idea.

I think every other profession is able to sell their wares on the AH other than enchanters?

Supported.

Edit: Wands and Oils slipped my mind. BUT STILL

I mean, makes sense to me

Yea, I was hoping for vellum in phase 1. Next best time to add it would be phase 2.

They could add enchanted scroll turn ins for the supply rep also.

A gold vendor that handed out free gold would make gold more accessible to everyone. It doesn’t seem like being “more accessible to everyone” is always a good thing on its own.

:woman_shrugging:

Which is why we are referring to enchanting vellums here.

Thank you Confucius. :laughing:

Ah yes, giving infinite gold to everyone is clearly a relevant counter argument to a suggestion about enchanting vellum.

OK. Wrath has enchanting vellums.

It was intended to be illustrative of the point that “accessibility” isn’t always a good design goal in and of itself, and I think it did a fine job of that.

A sarcastic remark, missing the point isn’t exactly a good counter argument to anything, but it does suggest that “haha no you are” is roughly where you’re coming from.

Enchanting vellums would no doubt make things easier and more convenient. And anyone who prefers easier and more convenient in WoW would no doubt welcome such a change.

“Easier and more convenient” are words I would typically use to describe things that I personally dislike about Retail/Wrath over Classic. Of course, that’s my opinion, and anyone else may have a different opinion.

This is a Wrath feature.

It’s not coming to classic. They can’t make changes like this which would affect era servers as they share a code base.

It was a red herring or a strawman and completely irrelevant.

It’s perfectly valid to point out that you’d dislike the feature without making an absurd hyperbolic comparison.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Vellum would be easy to add to SoD just as they’ve added many other items and multiple crafting recipes without it affecting other versions of the game.

Your other thread is nonsense and your points were already disproven.

The support for adding a feature from a future expansion into a Classic version of the game was not well founded, and I was pointing that out. That seems quite fair and sound.

I didn’t make a comparison. You misread or misinterpreted or are misrepresenting what I stated. That’s somewhat dirty tactics, but we literally have chat history for anybody to see, so…

I very clearly used an absurd example to illustrate the point that accessibility in an of itself is not a design goal that necessarily leads to good gameplay. I further feel that is relatively obvious and would be obvious to any reasonable person.

i like that enchanters are required to hock their wares in the town square, thanks :expressionless:

Yes I do and it’s not coming to classic.

You factually don’t as pointed out in your other thread.

You claimed we couldn’t get abilities beyond runes, which is already factually undeniably false based on how Shaman learn dual wield as a skill separate from runes.

Your claim they can’t add vellum is laughable given how many items they’ve already added to the game including new crafting recipes.

You also don’t really know much about the “code base” given there are already a number of features hidden there that are just turned off because the versions of the game aren’t as different under the hood as you’d like to believe. For example, you can open the pre-made group finder UI in SoD/era with a chat command or script. The feature is already there, it’s just turned off.

Does anybody here really know what can or cannot be done?

The rune system is almost 1:1 with enchanting vellums.

I do know and you aren’t getting them.

Don’t bother with this guy he’s either a delusional boomer or a troll. As evidenced by the fact that he just says “Lalala not listening I’m right you’re wrong.” Classic players man.

Not sure what the issue is, but in the past, I was able to enchant a vellum and then sell at the AH. So I’m unsure if this can be done in SoD.

It would allow people to mail enchants to alts so I’m for this.

Kinda? Wouldnt be hard to add some SOD-exclusive patterns to enchanting that allows them to transcribe an enchantment onto a rune or something that is tradeable / able to be sold on the AH. We already have SOD-exclusive patterns for other professions.
