Blizzard posted the Test Realm Patch Notes for Patch 2.4.2 today, including this little note of interest to compulsive mount-collectors:
- Items that enchant other items no longer have tradeskill requirements (Mithril Spurs, Shield Spikes, Weapon Chains, etc.).
That will make Mithril Spurs a little easier to apply!
In addition, although the patch notes do not mention it, it appears that many mount speed increasing trinkets are becoming enchantments instead. For example, the description of Carrot on a Stick now reads:
Binds when picked up
Use: Permanently enchant a mount to increase its mounted speed by 3%. You may only enchant mounts in your own inventory, and enchanting your mount will cause it to become soulbound. Single use.
Other mount speed trinkets seem to have changed similarly. I’m working on a page for the site with these items, but in the meantime both MMO Champion and World of Raids have some screenshots of the adjusted items.
Ehm.. Will the mount become soulbound? Aren’t all mounts soulbound already? x_x
