Are any changes getting done to professions to prevent things like Mithril Gear being by far BiS gear at level 25 or how OP spellpower goggles xtreme are? Honestly if nothing is done it just ruins the whole point of SoD…and it just kills my desire to participate in it
What mithril gear is level 25? A trout?
Good luck getting spell power goggles at 25.
Why dont you wait and find out and stop making assumptions.

Isn’t the point to just have a bit of crazy fun? Stop worrying about metas and just do what you want.

Meanwhile I am just gonna run around picking herbs and brewing potions because that’s what I did in OG, and I made a lot of butter

OP, you do realize that there are level caps on professions, right?
You can get to 225 at level 25 mats permitting.
But that doesn’t mean you can use gear crafted at 225.

This too…
Items crafted at skill 150 have a level req of 25… so that is the target for first phase…
However… you can craft bags and stuff if you can get the mats for higher levels
But the OP is right with Goggles… they have no level req
Gnomes can get higher (is it +15? can’t remember). They have access to the +15 stam engi helmet (diving helm? I forget).
The issue with the best goggles is the recipes drop from like lvl 35-40 mobs OR fished up in STV and other even higher level locations from crates, which is a chance of a chance.
Good luck with it, I hope you manage it cause I need to buy the products once you craft them.

And the Star Ruby’s aren’t exactly gonna be easy to come by either. In fact, OP, I think you are looking at this all wrong. If someone does come up with the ability to do all of this, what a fun challenge at level 25!
I think you have just given me something to do during downtime (goggles).

I mean there will be try hard professions but for level 25 I think I will stick with the money maker ones. Mithril needs 175 mining so a few nodes will spawn not near killing you mobs.
If you look though, the pattern doesn’t start dropping until SM so I don’t see how ANYONE will have this pattern to even craft these even IF they had the mats with a level cap of 25.
According to wowhead, the pattern doesn’t start dropping until 35+ content so I don’t see you or anyone else getting it. Link
Like, we already know all of that. Raid groups incoming!
How do you ‘raid’ a 5 man dungeon…? Lol.
Assuming off the interview where they said higher level zones outside the level 25 bracket will be rough and what we can see with how Chaos Bolt was changed to specify how it has a reduced effect on targets 4 levels higher, they don’t really plan on anyone easily getting to future locations or materials. Guess that creatures 4 levels higher will be punishingly hard hitting. Which might make leveling harder if you are fighting mobs even in the 25 bracket harder if you are doing a quest a little lower than intended.
That or they just buff anything not intended to be available now.
