Just tested DEing a couple 92 blues from treasures in the world. Using Enchanter's study level 2 with a follower, I do not have enchanting on this character.
6 dust each, no shard.
PLEASE blizz, this is swinging the pendulum too far the other way. Players need access to a supply of both dust and shards. Either provide a shard AND dust, fragments and dust, or restore it so blue = shard but add a shatter recipe.
We cannot add in a new recipe without a client-side patch. We can and have made adjustments to the drop rates via a hotfix to greatly increase the chance of obtaining
Draenic Dust while disenchanting a rare (blue) item. There's still a chance to obtain a
Luminous Shard but the chance is no longer guaranteed.
Additionally, characters with the Enchanting profession should receive more Draenic Dust while disenchanting an item.
We're also making changes to reduce the cost of tanking and healer enchants. These hotfixes are currently undergoing testing and aren't live yet. But, I wanted to give everyone an advanced notice of what's going to happen.
[Still in testing] Mark of Blackrock now requires 3 Temporal Crystals (down from 15) and 5 Scorcerous Earth (down from 10).[Still in testing] Mark of Shadowmoon now requires 3 Temporal Crystals (down from 15) and 5 Scorcerous Fire (down from 10).The hotfix blog will be updated with all this info shortly.
