With the pre-existing weapons in-game already will they be updated with the stat/delay/damage changes associated with this change?For WS/WW already at level 80 with all their recipes, will they have to 'relearn'these recipes (go and buy them again) or will the recipe lists be auto-updated with the change?
I'm sensing Armorsmiths, Tailors and Jewelers are salavating at the mouths that there are two imbues for weapons, will there also be a change to these crafts to incorporate two different imbues as well?
With the re-itemization down through the levels will this include recipes for Blood Ore, Whetstones and Throwing Weapons?
P.S. I still feel the Katar and Claws need to be added for Bruisers/Monks. 
1. no, the stat and type changes are so big that it will not be possible to directly upgrade the existing weapons - people might end up with totally different stat combos than what they bought, or even weapons they can't use any more. Existing weapons will remain the same, new ones made after the game update will be the new ones.
2. if you already have the recipes then you won't need to buy anything new, the recipe books will just be updated in your memorized recipes list.
3. no plans at this time (though hex dolls and jewelry are also on the list to eventually look at). Armorers and tailors already had all their mastercrafted stats upgraded.
4. most likely not at this time, there's only a week left before our cut off date, and much still to do.
PS. check the post of the weapon stats.
Archonix will be visiting this thread once he escapes from his current meetings to clarify on exactly how things work or don't work for rangers/ranged attacks, in answer to sliderhouserules.
