New Soulshard Bag: Abyssal Bag - 32 Slots

[Akasha]

Looks like there's a new 32 slot Soulshard Bag for Warlocks in Wrath of the Lich King:



Also looks to be the next line in the Frozen Shadoweave Set: Spellweave, Ebonweave and Moonshroud tailoring...

And some new threads:

• Tailoring items - Shining Spellthread, Brilliant Spellthread, Azure Spellthread, Sapphire Spellthread
  • Master's Spellthread - Permanently embroiders your pants with master's spellthread, increasing spell power by 50 and Stamina by 30. Only the tailor's pants can be embroidered, and doing so will cause them to become soulbound.
  • Sanctified Spellthread - Permanently embroiders your pants with sanctified spellthread, increasing spell power by 50 and Spirit by 20. Only the tailor's pants can be embroidered, and doing so will cause them to become soulbound.

Oh noes! The new spellthreads are bad news for everyone: You can only have them if you're a tailor, so if you're a tailor you can't use them to make money and if you're not a tailor you will have to go without.

I know all professions have a little perk that's unique to the crafter, like the ring enchants but Spellthreads have become standard for all casters to have. It will be a shame if that was removed. I see the perk of tailoring to be FSW (or future equivalent) for instance, not exclusive thread patches.

Imagine your elemental shamans or boomkins having to take up tailoring so their DPS isn't gimped.

It's hard to say since they're not finished yet, but it looks like the tailor-only ones are the same as what can be made for others, but with far cheaper mats (2 eternals instead of ten)

Of course, that may be just a placeholder.

[Akasha]

Is it all threads being changed? Or just those last two? The ones linked to images don't appear to be tailor only... I think Tailors just get the better ones.

[Morganfaey]

I would take a wait and see attitude with those. I really doubt they would make the legs patches BoP. As Lurker said, the stats on the BoP ones are the same as the BoE so something will change down the road I am sure.

However, tailors are getting tailor-only back spellthreads. They will take up the enchanting slot though. I'm not sure if they're up here yet (searchign embroidery returned nothing):

Lightweave Embroidery - Embroiders a subtle pattern of light into your cloak, giving you a chance to cause an additional 800 to 1000 Holy damage when you damage an enemy with a spell.

You can only embroider your own cloak and embroidering your cloak will cause it to become soulbound.

Darkglow Embroidery - Embroiders a magical pattern into your cloak, giving you a chance to restore 300 mana when you cast a spell.

You can only embroider your own cloak and embroidering your cloak will cause it to become soulbound.

And the perplexing -
Shadowguard Embroidery - Embroiders a magical pattern into your cloak, causing your damaging melee attacks to sometimes ignore 1000 of your target's armor.

You can only embroider your own cloak and embroidering your cloak will cause it to become soulbound.

only master and sanc are BOP, rest are BOE by the looks of things... interesting these recipes are now available to every tailor, really makes me wonder what the rep faction people will offer

[Pernicious]

Also, as you can see from the linked ones, those are listed as level 70 tailoring items... I am curious to know if there will be even better ones at 80.

[Rhyahn]

nooo I love my Core Felcloth Bag I don't think I'll give it up just for 4 more slots

[Pernicious]

I looked into the spellthread business a bit further and saw a listing on Embroidery. I hadn't heard about this before, so I don't know if it's old news or not. These are all tailor only and I expect that they would work similarly with enchanting. I doubt that we'll be able to use these in conjunction with enchanting though. Odds are if you apply this you'll be asked to remove any enchantment already on the cloak.

I'm curious to know how often the Darkglow one procs, if our DoT's trigger the Lightweave, or if our pets can take advantage of the Swordguard Embroidery.

Whoops, just noticed Morganfaey typed this up ahead of me. Musta missed that post, sowwy!

Well, this pretty much solves the question of whether or not they are going to make shards stack or not.
