Question about Upcoming Changes

[Kinadorm]

According to the quote below some changes are in store for Jewelcraft, Tailoring, and Smithing in the expansion. Have the changes planned for these tradeskills been outlined anywhere? I assume a more level skillup path will be introduced for tailoring and smithing? Will Jewelcraft still have a vendor path up to 280ish? Just curious if I should try and get some skillups before the expansion is released or if it would be better to wait till after it is released.

Dev-Ngreth:
The other option I have considered is only doing the cap for the skills that are already covered. Alchemy and Spell Research are already covered. And after this expansion Jewelcraft, Tailoring and Smithing will be covered. Last I offered this though the community that answered was not enthralled with that idea.

And I really don't like just raising the cap on everything, and leaving the other 6 skills with no, of horrible paths.

I don't have the entire context, but it seems like Ngreth is referring to have skill-up paths in place to reach 350 if such a "cap raise" was on the way.

So, by the next expansion, I am reading (between the lines) that there will be new recipes for JC, Tailoring, and Smithing. And these recipes would offer "reasonable" paths to 350. Having just read the thread, I definitely think we are talking about skill-up paths, most likely to do with level 80 cultural armor.

And I believe MCS is going to be nerfed or something so there is no "easy" vendor buyable path to 300

[Ngreth Thergn]

Yes, I do plan on nerfing MCS. I will make a more "official" statement about it when beta starts.

[Turlo Lomon]

For those who are acronym challenged... what is MCS?

[Hugin01]

Oh, one that I actually know

Mistletoe Cutting Sickle

Mistletoe Cutting Sickle. Trivials at 335 and is the path most Gm Smiths use to get to 300.

Ok, now sickles I know all about. LOL. Reminds me of the time when guild announced everyone to go to CoD (Circle of Drakes) and my wife and I were waiting outside Crypt of Decay wondering where everyone else was.

I've had worse. When my alt was invited to a group heading to KC, only 3 of us made it there. One ended up at Katta Colosseum on Luclin and 2 were headed through Tox forest when we informed them KC is for Karnor's Castle.
