The linked guide suggests that these are a random drop chance from rare mobs

Comment by Korotiotio

So if I'm just a farmer (herbing/skinning) these are no use to me?

Comment by CommanderAmaro

At first I thought it bound the item to the crafter because the item wording made it seem so but makes a Bind on Pick Up piece of gear that you can mail or auction.

idk how but every other one I make becomes soulbound weird that happened the first time.

Just a sidenote, you can't use these to downlevel an item's requirements; Level 70 items cannot have a Matrix 1 added to reduce their required level back down to 64. Slightly annoying because at least in the LW example, not all slots are covered by level 60 equipment and Practiced/Toughened level 70 patterns are the only ones available, but at least levelling is fast enough anyway!

As far as I can tell, these are useless once you hit max level. You can't even use them to craft gear for alts, as the matrix must be provided by the person placing the work order.

Comment by Qoko

Do not ignore these on leveling alts! These specifically apply to the lv61 craftables to be upgraded to ilvl 343 when you're 64. On most alts I craft all pieces at 61 (ilvl 319) (which is usually at the second or third quest hub), when I hit 64 I go on a small wq/rare spree to get six (or seven) of these and upgrade them right away: they're that much better compared to any drop from 64+, and will last till 70 (heirlooms scale to 319 for example).

You can specifically craft, top to bottom left to right in the character screen:

Helm (Engineering only)
Neck
Cloak
Chest
Wrist
Feet
Ring

Appropriate professions apply for crafts. Weapons, trinkets and most armor pieces cannot be crafted at 61, so also not improved with a Matrix I.

Comment by Tequima

These can be used on the rare (blue) crafted items to increase the base level from L61 gear to L64 gear. You will need to use the new Craft Order system (if you cannot craft it yourself) to create the armor, or recraft a L61 version. This applies to the Wristguards, Boots and Tunics only. All the other items are only usable from Level 70. If your character is already L70, then just ~~vendor~~ delete it.

To use the item:

Find a crafter who knows, the blue patterns and can craft at Quality 5 (either someone in your guild via the Roster Chat and changing the drop-down from Achievement Points to Profession, or via Trade Chat, or looking on wowcraftingorders.com or Blizzard Forums for your Region)
Go to the Craft Order Station in Valdrakken or Fork River
If you already have the base item: click on Start Recrafting Order (note that you will "lose" the item whilst it is being recrafted, so make sure the crafter is online, or you will be offline until completed/expired!); click on the + sign and click on the item you want to recraft
If you don't have the item: search for it or use the menu on the left to select the category and click search; click on the item you want crafted
Click on "Track Recipe" in the top right to create a list of materials you need to obtain or purchase from the Auction House (there is one in Valdrakken, a guard can direct you to it). The Profession list appears under your quest/Achievement list.
BoP materials, including the Training Matrix, must always be supplied by the purchaser (so, no, you can't use your main's Matrix for an alt).
Draconic Missive of the... to specify the stats of the item, must be supplied by the purchaser.
Though it's not necessary to buy all the commodity materials for Personal or Guild Orders, it simplifies the process and you can guarantee the materials quality (Quality 2/3 materials usually result in a higher quality item).
You must supply all the materials for a Public Order, but cannot specify the quality - it's intended for First crafts where quality is less important/you want to find a crafter who has the recipe.
Remember to pick up the items from the mail (the number of times I've forgotten to do this step...!)
Find the order and select the: Optional Reagents; type of order (Public/Personal/Guild); Minimum Quality (for Personal/Public orders); Add a note e.g. "let me know via /w if you need to discuss quality/commission. I'll be online until 10pm today"; Commission to cover the crafter's materials and skill (they may use some of their own BoP materials such as an Illustrious Insight, and they've spent valuable game-time skilling up in this craft) - click on the icon next to it to view the commission used for similar orders; order duration.
Click on Place Order and wait for crafter to complete.

Completed/expired orders will be delivered via the in-game mail.

Comment by Grasst

Why don't these ones work on weapons even though the others do? The world will never know, but my paladin is still without a 2 hander because of it :(

Comment by Oldbury

It's really sad these aren't usable on more things. Why aren't they usable on the "level 70 rares" and include weapons? Are Blizzard intentionally trying to make it a PITA to have reasonable gear while levelling?

Comment by PinkWolf

I wish they would stop giving these are rewards from WQ. I would rather get rep...

Comment by RocketFan

I used to see them as rewards for World Quests. No longer since 10.1 came out. I have toons that need them, yet I never see any drop.

Comment by Corpselance

The one reason to use this item would be to craft a mandatory weapon (such as a dagger for an assassination rogue) for a person who wants to swap specs while leveling but doesn't have the correct weapon type, while leveling.

Yet, it doesn't work on any weapons - just "some" of the armors. Hugely missed opportunity by the crafting team. The new system is extremely complex and annoying - the exact opposite of robust and user-friendly.

Comment by Blakmane

Why do these things don't even have a sell value... more useless trash on my bags, also, Blizz should develop a way to downgrade item quality on things like this, like by level or something, is quite pointless and fantasy breaking to have "Rare" or "Epic" colored items in your bags that are completely WORTHLESS.
