Smelting Pants

What makes it special.

Equipping these pants reduces the crafting time of Smelt Copper, Tin, Bronze and Silver by 25%.

Requirements

Level 16; leather legs. You need leather proficiency and must equip the pants for the bonus.

Binding

Binds on pickup.

How to obtain it.

The current Forever item record lists Gilnid in the Deadmines as its source. He is in the foundry section. The pants bind on pickup, so do not plan to buy them at the auction house.

Put your find to use.

1. 1

   Learn the relevant smelting recipe and obtain its ores or bars. The pants do not provide profession training.

2. 2

   Equip the pants before crafting at a suitable forge. Carrying them in your bags is insufficient.

3. 3

   Smelt your supplies in a batch, then restore your combat legs. A useful profession swap does not need to be your best combat gear.

Check these limits first.

• Only the four named recipes are covered. Iron, Gold, Mithril and Thorium are outside this effect.
• A 25% time reduction is not extra output or a Mining-skill bonus.
• Mages, priests and warlocks cannot wear leather legs. Having the profession does not bypass armor rules.

Keep it, try it or pass?

A miner processing large batches of early bars may want to keep these in the bank. A dedicated dungeon run can take longer than it saves for a small leftover batch. Explain the profession use before loot is distributed.
