ToC crafting patterns and faction change

#0 - Oct. 4, 2009, 7:40 a.m.

I don't ever plan on changing factions, but a thought did pop in my head. I got the pattern to make Crusader's Dragonscale Bracers (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=47577). It can only be used by Horde races.

Now, I would think it would change over, but since its a crafted item, would the item switch to its alliance counter part, and at the same time, would it be updated to its alliance counter part in my blacksmithing profession?

Q u o t e:

Hello Rosalea, i recently won the pattern for http://www.wowhead.com/?item=47583 on my hunter leatherworker (horde) and was thinking about transfering my druid (this character) over to Alliance side to play with friends, so i sent the pattern from my hunter to my druid and did transfer it to alliance side

At the time i did not think AT ALL about the races restriction but in the end, the pattern changed by itself from the horde races to the alliance races, my guess would be that if the pattern changed by itself, both the crafted item and recipe from your book would be changed.

Good thinking from Blizzard i did not get stuck with a useless Leatherworking pattern :)

Yep! Both patterns and learned recipes will be swapped for the opposing faction's equivalent. :)

As far as I am aware, there is not a single item that will become un-usable following a Faction Change.
