You’ll also gain experience points, so please use this to level from 55 onwards. Disciples of the Land will also have delivery.
A new system called “Scrip” will be added in 3.0. Up until now, Disciples of the Land and Hand had to meld their gear if they wanted to partake in high-level gathering and crafting. However, with the “Scrip” system, you will be able to trade them for new gear. Therefore, Disciples of the Land and Hand will no longer be forced to meld their gear. Players who wish to stay ahead of the pack will still be able to meld their gear. Those who meld their gear will be able to craft faster than those who collect gear through the “Scrip” system. The main point of this system was to offer multiple ways to upgrade gear.
