Question about crafting endgame in 3.0

Ok so... I have gsm 60 and working on my other 2. What is the point exactly of getting the books, when it adds like 13 new recipes and they are all 150? Wtf.

Maybe I missed something? Hopefully, there is going to be endgame crafting on tues when alex patch hits. or did they say 3.1? I just don't understand why gear cant be crafted yet to 180.

Well, all the level 60 quest items you're required to make is gated behind the books, as well as the better crafted DoH and DoL gear, and new glamours. Not unless you find a friend already with the books to make them for you.
