As the heroes conquer the Isle, they will unlock the powerful Lightning Forge, which will allow Blacksmiths to forge mighty raid-worthy items, as well as classic weapons from the past.

what does 'as well as classic weapons from the past' here implies? Amani Longbow? Rhokdelar?

Things like that yeah.


Amani Longbow will already return in 5.2 though, as a green (uncommon) weapon for transmog. Presumably from a vendor.

Actually, it probably means they can craft the old BS epics that were lost when the specializations were taken away. Stormbringer and such.

Engineering might get something too, as there are some new parts available.

The Amani Longbow finishes my transmog so perfectly, I hope they add it!

I would love it if they would bring back old bs items like enchanted thorium breastplate (pants are also gone but can be found as a quest reward in blades edge)

So far, wowhead has recorded craftable greens that are replicas of ZA/ZG gear.

It's not the first time blizzard has done things like this. xD It's hard to find groups for 85 content, and most classes cannot solo them yet.

Though I know you're referring to others. :P

Anyway, I'm pretty sure the Lightning Forge is just for the old Blacksmithing Weaponsmith weapons that disappeared. The Lion Sword, etc.
