3.1 Patch Preparation, Twink Item: Barbaric Bracers

You can find the level 80 version of PVP bracers here

Welcome to another feature on making gold at low levels, be it in profession level or character level. If you're reading this before patch maintenance, you might want to take a peek at the AH for good bids on the mats provided later in this post. For those who are reading this during patch maintenance, well, there's always tomorrow's AH market!

Well, my first article on this theme was with the spidersilk boots over on warcraftecon.net
It's a pair of tailoring boots that gets stealthbuffed into the best twink boots in the 10-19 bracket once 3.1 hits live.

Today, I'll however be covering Barbaric Bracers, so that Leatherworkers won't feel as if they are left out of the action.

Before: Barbaric Bracers
After: Barbaric Bracers

Basically, the bracers keep their 4 Agi and 6 Stam
But the totally useless 6 spirit gets converted into a sizzling 8 AP.
Yep, once again, another blue item has been stealth-buffed into the ultimate twink leather bracers.

The materials for this one is slightly tougher to come by however, so you might want to start looking on the AH.
8 Heavy leather
2 Cured Heavy Hide
4 Small lustrous pearl
1 Raptor Hide
4 Large Fang

Yep, that's quite a grocery list. While the reagents are cheap, it might take a while to build a sizable stockpile of all these in time for patch 3.1

If you start early however, I think you can probably make each bracers for about 1-2 gold, and sell them for 35-60 gold once patch hits. They used to sell for 25 gold before the patch, and with the current buffs making them Best In Slots, I'm pretty sure the twink buyers can be persuaded to part with that much more gold! This beats all other competition for the best bracer in the lvl 20-29 bracket.

You can even slap a +9 stamina enchant on it for good measure, and sell it for a slightly greater premium. Ah well, to all those lvl 20-40 leatherworkers out there, all the best in sizing this opportunity to work towards your epic mounts!

There are a few other items being stealth-buffed that holds pretty good potential, so stay tuned as I attempt to cover them all!
