We have removed the bottle neck of having to have the 'recipe' item, and now the system will be based on your knowledge of the combines, and your access to the ingredients required to make any given item.
So there isn't anything to convert there at all, the very idea of a recipe (as an arbitrary blocker to creating an item) simply doesn't exist in the new system. Anyone can try and make anything...the key of course will be the ingredients and combinations.
In terms of items, as mentioned yesterday, the items themselves will still be there. Anything that was made prior to the changes will still be there.
You just won't be able to make them again after the changes.
Those items will in effect become legacy items that were created by the old system. They will continue to exist, people just won't be able to make new ones.
We will though be making sure that veterans get some form of boost or 'head start' with the new system. It is a little early for any final decisions there however and that is something we will confirm during final testing. Rest assured however that we be sure to provide something to you all as recognition of previous efforts.
