Didn't the Mighty P also mention that we will have to have the original rcs tool to upgrade to the next one? I swear he did in an interview but I cannot find it now.
Well, even if you don't sit and wait, it's highly likely that the new gear will be Specialist recipes. No matter how you prepare, you'll only be able to craft some of the pieces. (Though, if you specialize in WVR and LTW, you're most likely going to be able to make more than half of them.)
Unless you have an alt crafter leveled, you're most likely going to have to buy at least SOME of the new gear pieces. Create and sell the pieces you can make, and use the cash to buy the pieces you can't.
Nope I have not seen that anywhere what you might mean is the new counterfoils that have been added? which will be used for the new RCS gear which will come at a later date( I think a month after 3.3 as to balance the people that have been hoarding them) I hawk eye everything crafting all he said that we would either need i170 gear or i180 to be able to make the new recipes which will be added in 3.3, also the 3.3 set's will be the last crafting and gathering sets to be added till 4.0 which means everyone and their mum will be a crafter now. But we all know it's not just about the gear :) Also nothing has been said about the tools I for-one am happy we are getting a new gathering set always annoyed me we could only get one via RCS I'm still trying to find information about MH OH for all. I would also like to know how they are going to give us access to Crafting/Gathering V's as at the moment I'm spending a few mil a day on IV to transmute
I'm sad though all them favor mat's i saved are kinda useless i hope they are brought back in to the fold for 3.3 but we will see.
Could have sworn I he said it off handedly in an interview around the Pax East time but cannot for the life of me find it. Someone said something about the tools and he said they are giving us new ones but not to worry because the old rcs ones will be needed to get the next upgrade. Blerg I wish I could find it. I even considered buying the rcs tools I don't already have after I read that.
