Wow, I sure am glad I came across this in my internet travels yesterday, since I seem to have missed it in the patch notes. But there it is: when 2.1 goes live, "The Epic bind on equip Blacksmith weapon recipes now require more materials to make." How much more, you ask? The image above (via World of Raids) shows the new recipes. Here's how they compare to the old:

• Khorium Champion: Four more Primal Nethers
• Felsteel Reaper: Ten Khorium bars (no Khorium required previously), four more PNs
• Hand of Eternity: Ten Khorium bars, two more PNs
• Felsteel Longblade: Ten Khorium bars, four more PNs
• Eternium Runed Blade: Four Felsteel changed to ten Khorium and four Hardened Adamantite; two more PNs
• Dirge: Ten Khorium bars, two more PNs
• Fel Edged Battleaxe: Ten Khorium bars, two more PNs
• Fel Hardened Maul: Ten Khorium bars, four more PNs
• Runic Hammer: Ten Khorium bars, two more PNs

Guess I better get a move on farming the mights for my Hand of Eternity. The price impact of this change will vary depending on the crafters you know, but based on the rates I've seen should be a few hundred gold. Fortunately, it doesn't look like the patch is going up today, so we have at least a week to get our mats together.
