New item: Catalyst of Jewelcrafting, drops from Izual in Nightmare difficulty
The catalyst must be charged with up to 10 Arcane Crystals before it can be used. Each crystal provides 5 charges
Crafting jewels is now as simple as cubing a jewel and the catalyst, rune, and oil are no longer needed
Re-rolling the catalyst by itself will allow you to select a different affix
Jewelcrafting recipes now have a built-in gold cost (varies per affix)
Crafting jewels no longer reduces their ilvl
The more i read the more i realised - one thing changed from all of it - ilvl improvement. Rest of the stuff is just meh and does the same with extra steps.
Instead of AC in cube - you have to add AC to catalyst - extra work.
Instead of using a rune - you will have to reroll catalyst, oh you missed your rune, too bad keep rerolling.
Oil not needed, but it takes gold anyway. Such improvement, much wow.
