Beware of crafted BoP when planning....

[Slickrock]

NNNOOOOO....... my hunter shoulders of lightning reflexes, are BOP... I had all the mats ready to get them made...

back to the drawing board.

sigh...

Yup, realized that the chest, bracers and belt for the dark purple dragonstalker recolour is also BoP...

Exactly what happened to me at first. I asked if my friend could craft the shoulders for me on their leatherworker and gave them the recipe and mats which took quite a bit of grinding because AH (on my server at least) doesn't have much to none TBC materials available usually. When we tried to trade the item... welp, I smacked my head a bit to my desk and apologized for being stupid.

Off I went to learn LW on my hunter, level it, farm the recipe from the raids and farm those dang motes of air...

That's dedication...

I won't drop mining and engineering at this time, allthough if I got truly bored, I could drop mining, get LW, farm that, then drop it again for mining. But that might be a bit too much work.

The frustrating thing is some of the folks posting gear sets here include BOP crafted items, or items that are no longer in game. I get interested in a set, and then... ouch!

And then there's my own stupidity for not researching sets properly... sigh...

And the worst thing... I spent a weekend grinding 4k honor to get some PVP gear as a starter set to go under those shoulders. Doh! Not sure that I'll ever use it now..
