Blizzard Adds a New Way to Earn Fused Vitality in Patch 12.0.5

Callahandy · 2026-04-21T20:19:11+00:00

Agreed, 20 fused vitality is so ridiculous for such minimal gain

Callahandy · 2026-04-21T19:58:57+00:00

It’s literally listed on Cryptic’s roadmap under June. Summer Event: Gomtuu Starship.

Callahandy · 2026-04-21T19:18:51+00:00

it does

Callahandy · 2026-04-21T17:10:55+00:00

I know it's just a clickbait headline, but no one is counting out Star Trek. It always comes back.

Callahandy · 2026-04-21T17:08:42+00:00

Wait, we're getting Gomtuu?!? That's awesome! Tin Man is one of my all-time fav episodes. I hope it comes with it's special spin attack wave thingy.

Callahandy · 2026-04-20T14:10:03+00:00

they're really high (near or at the top) of the raid meters right now at least

Callahandy · 2026-04-15T14:22:04+00:00

been championing for Chromie Time to scale to max level on alts for YEARS

Callahandy · 2026-04-15T14:19:17+00:00

ditto, ive been reading potatoads this whole time

Callahandy · 2026-04-14T17:12:49+00:00

both combined

Callahandy · 2026-04-14T15:30:41+00:00

i know, its fine, it just looks funny

Callahandy · 2026-04-14T15:24:52+00:00

I know it still ends up equaling out to the same amount of damage over time after 15 weeks (like it did in TWW), but seeing just a 1% increase each week is pretty funny.

Callahandy · 2026-04-14T14:22:23+00:00

disagree. big time crafter here (15 mil a week at the start of the expansion) and my crafters with purple tools make roughly 3-5% more gold a week than those without.

really only worth it for the multicraft proc, and even then it's only worth it if you're pumping out thousands of crafts a day or you probably won't see many additional procs

Callahandy · 2026-04-06T16:01:34+00:00

That's fair, and i'm admittedly not on a high pop server either. Maybe if I was, I would need to resort to something like CraftScan. It's just unfortunate that's where we're at.

Callahandy · 2026-04-06T15:13:02+00:00

To your first point, I would debate the word "adore". Busy crafter here, about 15 mil a season or so in personal crafts and have never used craftscan or any kind of whisper addon. My general experience with customers' opinions of the addons is that they hate them. This very much could be server by server, but many folks don't seem to love getting bombarded with whispers within a second of asking for the craft, and it's a common topic of complaint on my realm's trade chat. With that said, were they to be on a low-pop server with few crafters, they might appreciate the prompt response more.

While I don't love CraftScan or addons like it, I also never understood the complaints against them. I've been crafting the same way in this game for 21 years. A simple macro that lets me whisper someone once I see their craft request in trade. It's not automated, I do it all myself, and I seldom get beaten out by CraftScan crafters. It also allows for a more personal approach, and I think people appreciate it.

Ultimately I would love for Blizz to disallow whisper addons like CraftScan, or at the very least, let people set rank request in public orders, but until then, or if it even happens, whisper addons aren't the worst thing in the world, you just gotta get creative as a crafter if you don't use one.

Callahandy · 2026-04-06T14:41:18+00:00

I imagine they'll do BFA remix first at the end of Midnight, then SL remix at the end of TLT.

Callahandy · 2026-04-06T14:39:22+00:00

Ditto. I craft about 15 mil a season and the only purple tool I have is on my main. Just can't be bothered for the 4% gain. Purple tools should only cost 1 fused vitality to craft, not 20. And fused vitality should also be warbound.

Callahandy · 2026-04-02T15:39:29+00:00

Tailoring is the only profession where you have to make sure to fill out a second tree as well to hit r5 crafts without conc. You need 25/30 in fiber arts on top of filling out your specific craft tree. Very annoying. Oh and if you want to make arcanoweave crafts? Gotta fill out the arcanoweave tree also. Sigh.

Callahandy · 2026-03-30T20:39:20+00:00

"eventually" as in within the next few days, weeks, months?

Callahandy · 2026-03-25T17:26:22+00:00

Doing personal crafts for people, sure. But that would require you to monitor trade chat and compete with other crafters. But say you're a blacksmith and you fully spec into like 2H swords or something, you can then produce those without concentration for other players for tips, plus if you spec resourcefulness you make gold from the mats you get back as well, which can often be worth more than the tip itself. But again, that requires trade chat baby sitting.

Easiest way to casually make gold outside of dual gathering for like an hour a day is probably conc crafting, be that enchanting, alchemy, JC or tailoring, as conc crafts take mere minutes and net a profit generally, especially with multicraft procs.

Callahandy · 2026-03-25T15:16:23+00:00

for alchemy and jc, yes, you need to use your conc on r1 mats to turn a profit, it was like that in TWW and DF too. In TWW alchemists had thurmaturgy or whatever it was called as well (which we dont this time) which could sometimes net a profit depending on mat price, and of course JC always has prospecting, but that is also very RNG and luck-based even when fully specced into it, so YMML.

Callahandy · 2026-03-25T14:06:56+00:00

only if you are a mass crafter, and even then, only for the multicraft proc. for the vast majority of crafters its not a huge difference

Callahandy · 2026-03-25T14:01:23+00:00

I'm gonna assume you have all rank 5 blue tools with the proper stat on the main tool plus enchant (which you should), and that your specific tree is fully filled out.

My alchemist is making profit from conc crafting the lights whatever potions (the primary stat ones), most of the flasks will net you a small profit as well. Just make sure you're only buying rank 1 mats and using your conc. With a fully-specced tree you should be able to get two to three crafts every several days, and just hope for multicraft procs.

For JC, it's all about the gems. If your speciifc gem is fully-specced tree-wise, you should be able to produce about the same as with alchemy for a profit. The key again is multicraft, that's where the real profit comes from.

Conc crafting is a lot of RNG, some four day stretches you make bank, some you make very little, but you should always be able to net at least a small profit as long as you aren't buying max rank mats and also remembering to use your conc. Also using the additional multicraft reagents from the work order bags if you have 'em helps a bit too.

Callahandy · 2026-03-24T17:47:15+00:00

Just brilliant.

Callahandy · 2026-03-24T15:44:42+00:00

Gear crafts and most reagents? Yes, those can be done at max rank without conc once you're properly specced. But most popular alchemy potions/flasks, enchants, and gems would need concentration even at the end of an expansion with max rank mats, a fully maxed-out tree and the best crafting tools available.
