Why blizz can I craft armor i418 + miss + emb, but not weapons :(

So I reached mace crafting maximum skill on my blacksmith.

Maxed out Weaponsmithing, Hafted, Maces and Hammer control. I got the blue accessories and epic tool. Still I’m stuck at skill 377 (with Illustrious Insight and r3 reagents) and there seems nothing else I can do to reach the 390 difficulty (i418 + missive + embellishment).

While on Leather-working I’m able to reach the skill level needed to (re)craft life-bound armor pieces at i418 + missive + embellishment.

Did I miss something with the blacksmithing, or does this mean to get a i418 weapon you either have to drop the embellishment or hope for an inspiration proc before you run out of Illustrious Insights?

From my understanding you need to rely on Inspiration Procs (or Illustrious Insight) to reach Rank 5 in all items at absolute max level.

However, I have only just maxed out my BS and gone Armour smith.

Not true, on my leather-worker I can create a i418 + missive + embellishment armor piece without the need for any inspiration proc (I can reach the required skill lvl to match the difficulty level).

Is that using Illustrious insight though?

Maybe it’s just more desirable items that need to rely on Proc or Insight. But there has been discussion of this topic on various Professions Forums recently and not all items are possible to guarantee max rank.

The best thing to do is not look at a guide and actually look at each Talent in the Specialisations tab and see what they add to your skill.

Yep, with illustrious insight. So I guess it’s intentional by blizz that not everything can be crafted at i418 with all possible options :frowning:
