Professions get Fun Thematic Gear Bonuses in WoW: Forever
Professions have gotten a ton of new recipes, bonuses, and even gear in WoW: Forever - including dungeon pieces that increase crafting speed and hammers that double as throwing weapons!
New Crafting Gear Bonuses in WoW Forever
Players have noticed a couple of updated pieces in the Deadmines dungeon, with items like Smelting Pants, and now, after this latest build, Cookie's Stirring Rod. The former is great for early-level Miners, but the latter is something all wand users can use throughout for that increased cooking speed.

Another fun crafting-related piece of gear is the Arcanite Blacksmith Hammer, a throwing weapon that has a chance on hit to stun the target. However, this item, as the tooltip reads, also serves as a Blacksmith Hammer. Carrying around a traditional Blacksmith Hammer always feels like a required bag slot filled up, but once you're able to craft this thrown weapon, you can toss out that old hammer for this powerful upgrade.

Items such as these create a fun farm for players to obtain upgrades to their character that don't necessarily always upgrade their player power, which is exactly the kind of horizontal progression that WoW: Forever is looking to provide.
