How it works

Runecarving is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Trade Skill (effect type 47).
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 118, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 1.

What it does

Runecarving is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it has a Trade Skill effect.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
