The occasions when a pair of trousers becomes noteworthy are sadly infrequent, and when they do, it’s typically for negative reasons. Fortunately, a community finding in World of Warcraft: Forever has changed that.<\/p>\n

The Smelting Pants, [unearthed and shared in the World of Warcraft Classic Reddit](https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/classicwow\/comments\/1woexac\/smelting_pants\/), represent a revolutionary pair of trousers that might alter the game’s profession-focused crafting indefinitely.<\/p>\n

Here’s the latest cinematic trailer for World of Warcraft: Forever.[Watch on YouTube](https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WYs5H9I3fsc)<\/p>\n

A rare drop from an undisclosed location, these leather trousers enhance both Stamina and Spirit. More significantly, they cut the smelting time of copper, tin, bronze, and silver by an impressive 25 percent.<\/p>\n

This may not seem like a significant change, but it has substantial implications for the broader launch of World of Warcraft: Forever. In Classic WoW – the unchanged vanilla WoW experience – there are no items with profession enhancements like this, indicating game-altering ambitions from Blizzard, and much-needed assistance for those concentrating on professions in the full release of Forever.<\/p>\n

A somewhat comparable system exists in the current iteration of World of Warcraft. In recent expansions, profession gear has been introduced that offers enhancements to crafting and gathering abilities. However, these differ in that they are largely made using the profession system, rather than being a drop from external sources.<\/p>\n

There have been items in Classic WoW that increased skills, such as higher-tier fishing rods, but those only provided boosts to your overall profession level. The Smelting Pants are completely unique: the reductions in smelting time are unmatched in any existing Classic WoW gear, clothing or otherwise.<\/p>\n

The responses to this Reddit trouser-post are as joyful and whimsical as one might anticipate.

Who would have thought a pair of trousers could generate such excitement? It’s one instance of the abundance of unexpected new discoveries players are finding in the World of Warcraft: Forever beta.
