WoW PTR Patch 3.3.3 Guide - wow gold

General

For those of you who frequent the Test Realms don’t be alarmed if your characters no longer appear to have any achievement history. In an attempt to improve the copy process characters will no longer be copied with their achievement history. Not a very big deal in my opinion as achievement history will matter little if not at all on any Test Realm.

Items

Glyph of Disease and Glyph of Fireball have been changed. Glyph of Disease now triggers a refresh of Icy Talons whenbuy wow gold Frost Fever is refreshed. This improves the Glyph and I would think Death Knights using it should notice a small improvement in their DPS. Glyph of Fireball has also changed, sort of. While it no longer increases the critical strike of Fireball, it reduces the cast time of Fireball by .15 seconds. So while you won’t be putting out as many crits, you will be able to cast more Fireballs. Sounds to me like not much of a change was made to this glyph.

Frozo the Renowed will be coming to Dalaran and he wants your orbs! Frozen Orbs that is. Let’s face it  Frozen Orbs are pretty much useless. Everyone I know has at least several stacks taking up space in their bank. You cannot sell them on the Auction House for any decent amount of money, and the gear that you make with them is obsolete even for alt characters. I’ve even considered selling them to a vendor just to be rid of them, now I am very glad I didn’t.

Frozo will now accept your once useless Frozen Orbs and will trade you other tradeskill items for them including:

Crusader Orbs - 6 Frozen Orbs
Runed Orbs - 4 Frozen Orbs
Eternals (Fire, Earth, Water, Air, Life, and Shadow) - 1 Frozen Orb
Frost Lotus - 1 Frozen Orb
Pattern: Frosty Flying Carpet (Tailors Only) - 6 Frozen Orbs

Dungeons and Raids

In the Dungeon and Raid department Blizzard will now be allowing players to skip the intro in the Culling of Stratholme once they have completed the dungeon at least once. Can I get a hallelujah? While I enjoy the in game dialog as much as anyone, after hearing it so many times it gets a little old. I can think of several other fights that I would love to see Blizzard implement this option for  in the future.

Players will now be able to use the Dungeon Finder to queue for Holiday bosses. Once a party is found players will be ported directly to the area the boss can be found, making everyone’s lives that much easier. To add extra icing to the cakewow gold Players may queue as many times as they want for each boss, meaning you will no longer need to search out players with summons. Don‘t think you will have infinite attempts to get those rare holiday items as they will now be found in troves which will only drop once for each player every day.

Professions

There are several small but significant changes here that should please quite a few people. Recipes that require Runed Orbs now have lower material requirements. While this is a nice change, and will allow more people access to these patterns, plus make leveling much easier I can’t help be a bit bitter. It always seems that after I make things they nerf how much it costs, or what materials it takes, ah well that’s life. Inscription has a similar change with most recipes that require two inks being reduced to one.

Pet collectors rejoice, as the Pet Bombling and Lil’ Smoky are no longer going to be Bind-on-Pickup. Not only will this allow many more players access to these very cute vanity pets,cheap dvds, but Engineers should be able to make a little profit off of them. I know I will be getting both as soon as this patch goes live!

Tailors will be pleased to learn that the cool down and location requirements for Moonshroud,coffee mugs, Spellweave, and Ebonweave have been removed paving the way for Tailoring items requiring these cloth to be much easier to obtain. This change will most likely drastically reduce the price of these cloths, so players wishing to fetch a good price for them should sell now.

Quests

Blizzard has decided to improve the vehicle mechanics of quests vehicles. They claim the change was made all in the interest of fun. There are no real details as to what changes will be made, however I personally love driving the in game vehicles, so anything that could possibly make it even better is a good thing in my book. However as with all things these changes do have the potential to backfire and actually end up making driving vehicles less pleasurable. Cross your fingers that that is not the case.

Auction House

More interesting changes were made to the Auction House, many of which promise to help improve the ease of use for all players. For example, now if the Auction House is not available on your realm, when opened players will be informed via pop up. This means no more standing around staring at a blank Auction House screen trying to decide if the Auction House is actually broken, or if lag is to blame.

Players will also now be able to right click to place their items in the Auction House. This is very good news. I can’t begin to tell you how many pots and elixirs I have accidentally used attempting to put them up for sale,wedding dresses, and I know I can’t be the only one.

To further improve the usability of the Auction House whole stacks of  the same item can now be placed in the Auction frame, and severalbuy wow gold options are offered to choose how they should be listed, including Stack Size, Number of Stacks, and Price. An Auction Post Completion Bar has also been added. Much like a cast bar if multiple items or stacks are being listed at once this bar will report the progress of each listing. Players will need to stand still during this process as any movement will interrupt it, but they will still be able to browse the Auction House.

Overall these changes to the Auction House seem solid and I personally feel were much needed. I know that many players are in the Auction House “business” and sell large quantities of the materials they collect (leather, ore, herbs, etc) for profit. These changes should make that job at least a tiny bit less tedious. Hopefully much testing is given to it on the PTR, as changes of this sort tend to bring many bugs with them.
