Crafting rebalancing

[Dragavon]

I just went into the crafting hall to see what was new there.

And looked at the wrong shards

Gah, problem solved. It is the new flexible shards I am looking at.

Sorry for the confusion

Unless they changed things from the closed beta, there are now 'flexible' bound shards, which you can stick on different types of base items.

For example, you used to be able to only fit melee alacrity on trinkets and weapons/shields. The flexible melee alacrity shard is around lvl 130 and would fit on other items, like rings.

So, the lvl 149 +6 stat shards you were looking at were almost certainly the 'flexible' +6 stat shards.

You almost gave me a heart attack. Please edit the OP before some lady faints.
