Soul of The Crafter; consumable?

[Mini_Me]

Hi All,

I'm trying to get a definitive answer to this. We get three Souls of the Crafter at 55. If I use all three and then want to change one, is it destroyed or can it be reassigned to another class?

Basically, will we always have 3 or does changing them consume one every time permanently?

Can we get a dev to clarify this? Seems no one is willing to try to find out this answer.

I believe they mentioned prior to launch that the ability to change which class you specialize in would be added later.

I've used one of the three on my blacksmith already, and I have no idea how the special abilities are going to help me as a crafter. I haven't touched any of the level 60 1 star crafts yet, but everything else I've been able to craft without too much hassle using none of these special abilities.

They said in the recent live letter they have no plans to increase the amount you get. When you give one to the NPC it becomes a soulstone for that class, so the stackable item you get at 55 with the quest is permanently used up in this process. Until they change things, you can only use them each once.

That only means that you won't be able to have more than three. They did however previously say that they would allow you to change later on.
Doesn't change the fact that the extra skills are basically worthless for regular crafters... (crafters that don't have max melded hq everything)
