Before selling your Deadmines loot, check Smelting Pants and Cookie’s Stirring Rod. Community references list Forever profession effects that may make them useful after you replace their combat stats.
Four smelts, not every ore
Smelting Pants reduce crafting time for Copper, Tin, Bronze and Silver smelting by 25% while equipped. They are leather leggings requiring level 16. Icy Veins lists Gilnid as their source. The database's drop-rate figures are inherited Classic data, so no rate is promised here.
A cooking wand
Cookie’s Stirring Rod is a level-17 wand usable by Mages, Priests and Warlocks. Its Forever effect increases Cooking speed by 25% while equipped. Carrying it is insufficient, and faster cooking does not mean extra food per craft.
