Professions
A significant number of additional engineering devices have been added to
the world both as new recipes on vendors and as drops on monsters in the
higher level (50+) dungeons and in raids.
Seven new blacksmithing recipes are available to seasoned blacksmiths via a
series of turnin quests.
Three new armorsmithing recipes are available to master armorsmiths. All 3
recipes are gained via quest.
The Turtle Scale gloves recipe has been changed to have a white name rather
than green since it can now be purchased at the store. Generally, recipes
with white names are store-bought and ones with green or blue (or purple)
names are drops from monsters.
Some Blasting Powder icons Changed.
Leatherworkers can now make throwing balls (as a toy).
Ghostweave Belt pattern is no longer bind on acquire.
Randal Worth in Stormwind now only teaches apprentice level leatherworking.
Expert Blacksmithing Trainers will now point you to the appropriate artisan
smith when you get a high enough skill.
Bombs now cause a disorient effect when they go off, this was not working
correctly previously.
Flame Deflector and Frost Deflector now do an elemental damage absorb rather
than a resistance increase.
Minor Recombobulator now restores health and mana as well as removing
polymorph effects.
Target Dummies now generate an initial
taunt pulse so creatures will attack
them for the first 5 seconds after they are dropped.
Gnomish Death Ray damage increased slightly and cooldown reduced to 5
minutes.
The level of the Mechanical Dragonlings, Battlechicken and Bombs dropped by
the Goblin Bomb Dropper now scale with your engineering skill, so they will
be always useful against enemies. Their damage and health has remained the
same.
Requirements to make the Helm of Fire were reduced.
Raids & Dungeons
Azuregos now has a new
debuff - Mark of Frost. A player who is hit with the
Mark of Frost will be frozen in a block of ice should they attempt to
re-engage Azuregos.
Bael'gar, Lord Incendius, and Golem Lord Argelmach are now slightly lower
level than previously. This will provide a much better progression of
creature and boss levels in Blackrock Depths.
The Baroness Anastari encounter has been changed. Players who become
unpossessed will now have full health, and after the Baroness unpossesses a
player there will be a much longer cooldown before she can cast possess
again. These changes should make her a more balanced encounter for a 5 man
group.
Lava Surgers no longer
respawn once you kill Garr.
When Majordomo Executus submits, a chest is spawned next to him. This chest
should only spawn the FIRST time he is defeated in a saved instance.
If a
guild tries him a second or third night, no chest should spawn.

The Golemagg and Shazzrah encounters in the Molten Core has undergone some
changes.

20 new Rare items have been added to Scholomance.
Several Uncommon items have been upgraded to Rare quality.
Rattlegore, Jandice Barov, and Lord Alexei Barov will now always drop at
least one Rare item.

Raid Itemization
Onyxia, Azuregos, Lord Kazzak, and all Molten Core boss creatures have all
received some new items on their
loot tables.
Onyxia will once again drop two upper tier class set helms.
Most of the non-class set items that dropped from Molten Core and Onyxia
have had their effective levels increased, resulting in higher
DPS weapons,
and/or better stats and effects.
Players who defeat the Majordomo Executus encounter will now be rewarded
with new epic items. This reward will only be granted the first time the
encounter is defeated during the 6 day lifespan of a Molten Core instance.
The
loot tables for some of the Molten Core bosses have been improved so
they drop an additional epic item per kill.
World bosses such as Onyxia, Azuregos, and Lord Kazzak will no longer drop
random blue items of a level lower than 50.
Prior to this patch, Molten Core boss creatures could drop items from one of
two different tiered sets for every character class. The
loot tables have
been changed so Molten Core bosses will now only drop items from the lower
tier class sets. However, some of the items from those sets were not
previously dropping in Molten Core. These missing class set items will now
drop in Molten Core, allowing players to complete their lower tier class
sets. The higher tier class set pieces that once dropped in Molten Core will
be found once again in Blackwing Lair, the next raiding zone scheduled for
release in a future patch.
Future patches will include even more item rewards for these
raid
encounters, as well as improvements to the statistics, effects, and set
bonuses for both tiers of the
raid armor sets.

Party Quest share information is now working.
If you mouse over a quest that
multiple party members have, it will display a mouseover tooltip indicating

name in your quest

many other players in your party have that quest.

mark over their head instead of the standard yellow exclamation
point/question mark.

Molten Core to Blackrock Depths.

event in Scholomance for fun (and
loot) by speaking with Lord Grayson
