||
| + | ==General== |
||
| − | '''Talon King Ikiss''' ''(pronounced Eye-kiss)'', the level 69 [[boss]] of [[Sethekk Halls]] in [[Auchindoun]], is one of the leaders of the [[Sethekk]], along with [[Darkweaver Syth]]. |
||
| + | *[[Companion]] pets when summoned will now only despawn when another pet is summoned or they're dismissed. This includes death of a player, loading screens, and being logged out. |
||
| + | *Damage-dealing knockback abilities will no longer knock the target away if the damage results in a killing blow. This change is likely a workaround for a bug that would often make NPCs killed by knockbacks unlootable without logging out and logging back in. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Together, they led the exodus of the Sethekk from [[Skettis]] to the ruins of [[Auchindoun]]. Although a charismatic leader at the beginning, Ikiss has since descended into madness. |
||
| + | *[[Goblin]] and [[worgen]] /roar sounds have been disabled. |
||
| + | ==Classes== |
||
| − | He now openly proclaims that he is [[Terokk]] reborn and expects the [[Arakkoa]] to bow down to him as their ruler. |
||
| + | ===Paladins=== |
||
| + | * [[Divine Guardian]] now has an effective range of 30 yards (the tooltip is contradictory). |
||
| + | ===Druid=== |
||
| − | ==Attacks and abilities== |
||
| + | * [[Swiftmend]] no longer consumes [[Omen of Clarity]] procs. |
||
| − | *'''Melee''': ~2k on cloth, 800–1000 on plate. Heroic: 1.5-1.9k on plate. |
||
| − | *[[Image:Spell Arcane StarFire.png|32px]] Arcane Volley - hits surrounding targets for around 1500 arcane. This effect has a very long range and ignores LoS. |
||
| − | *[[Image:Spell Nature WispSplode.png|32px]] Arcane Explosion - Massive and huge AoE (approx 40 yard range) 4.5 to 5k damage. Damage is only dealt to targets that are within line of sight. |
||
| − | *[[Image:Spell Arcane Blink.png|32px]] Blink - often to someone (even if they are out of LoS) — right ''before'' he casts Arcane Explosion |
||
| − | *[[Image:Spell Nature Polymorph.png|32px]] Polymorph - turns someone into a sheep — lasts for 10 seconds, regenerates health but does not break on damage. Dispellable. Can be avoided with reflection. |
||
| − | * Mana Shield - 10,000 points of physical damage hit drain mana instead of health. Dispellable. |
||
| − | '''-Heroic Mode Only:''' |
||
| − | *[[Image:Spell Nature Slow.png|32px]]Slow - Movement speed reduced by 60%. Time between melee and ranged attacks increased by 60%. Casting time increased by 60% for 8 seconds. Magic debuff; Can be dispelled. |
||
| − | == |
+ | ===Priest=== |
| + | * A [[Lightwell]] can no longer be targeted with macros, similar to totems. |
||
| − | [[Image:Sethekk Halls Map.jpg|thumb|Found at map location 3]] |
||
| + | * [[Penance]] ticks no longer cause friendly targets to flinch. |
||
| − | Ikiss has low armor and his [[melee]] attacks are fairly weak and can generally be healed through without any difficulty. He has three abilities that make the fight more than a typical [[Boss#Tank and Spank|Tank and Spank]]: |
||
| + | ==Dungeons & Raids == |
||
| − | *First, he casts a '''[[polymorph]]''' with a short duration of about 5 seconds. As a result, a secondary [[healer]] is helpful in the fight, as if the only healer is polymorphed, the fight becomes much more difficult, and an unlucky chain following a polymorph can lead to a [[wipe]]. The polymorph is [[dispel]]lable and has a cast time, but cannot be interrupted. He seems to cast it on the second person on his [[threat list]], and as such anything your party can do to help your healer reduce their [[threat]] generation will help with preventing a wipe. |
||
| + | *Maps of [[Outland]] dungeons have been added. |
||
| + | * The [[meeting stone]] for [[Blackwing Descent]] has moved slightly. |
||
| + | *In [[Deadmines]], the ceiling of Ironclad Cove has been updated. |
||
| + | *[[Al'Akir]] will now drop random necklaces and cloaks as well as helm or shoulder tokens in addition or in some cases instead of his current loot. |
||
| + | ==Battlegrounds== |
||
| − | *Second are his periodic '''Arcane Bolt volleys'''. It hits all characters and has infinite range, but can be resisted. A healer that is on top of the situation can usually make this ability trivial, particularly a [[priest]] that casts [[Prayer of Healing]] immediately after the volley, if possible. Ikiss casts the first volley soon after being aggroed; it is recommended that this initial damage is not healed (except on the tank) until the tank has sufficiently established aggro; even if you have a good tank, it's still helpful to stick with no more than [[HoT]]s on DPS characters until aggro is well-established. |
||
| + | *A countdown timer has been added displaying the time until the battle begins. |
||
| + | ==Items== |
||
| − | *Last, and most deadly, is his '''blink-and-AoE combo'''. At various times throughout the fight, Ikiss will [[blink]] to a random character and begin casting a powerful, uninterruptible [[AoE]] blast (generally 4000–5000 damage), accompanied by an [[emote]], that has a range of approximately 30 yards. The damage of this attack can be completely avoided by breaking [[line of sight]], usually done by running around one of the four pillars in the room, and can also be resisted. The AoE has an animation and a fairly long casting time, which is crucial to watch for in order to avoid the damage from the attack — Ikiss's blink can be to a melee class character, and therefore very difficult to notice. Ikiss never casts his AoE without blinking immediately before it. The blink seems to have an threat reduction associated with it and it apparently possible that he may blink multiple times before settling into the AoE cast animation. |
||
| + | *Many non-combat pets have new sounds when clicked. Additionally, non-combat pets no longer generate constant noise while summoned (examples of pets affected are [[Lil' Smoky]] and [[Disgusting Oozeling]]) |
||
| + | *[[Bone Fragments]], [[Crypt Fiend Parts]], [[Dark Iron Scraps]], [[Core of Elements]], and [[Savage Frond]], which became useless in 4.0.3a since they could no longer be turned in for [[Argent Dawn]] reputation, are now poor quality (grey) items. |
||
| + | *{{loot|common|Glass Fishing Bobber}} now functions as a lure. |
||
| + | *[[Bind on Equip]] items won through a Need roll will now bind to the character. |
||
| + | *[[Alliance Warrior Infantry]] mobs (that are killed for the [[Tol Barad]] daily quest {{quest|The Leftovers (Horde)|The Leftovers}}) now have the same loot as other Alliance infantry mobs in Tol Barad. (They previously dropped no loot, not even coin.) |
||
| + | *Flying mounts now state "This is a flying mount." in both the item and spell tooltip. |
||
| + | *Trinkets no longer shares cooldown with [[Lifeblood]]. |
||
| + | ==Achievements== |
||
| − | In a typical battle, your tank will run in and aggro Ikiss, pulling him next to a pillar. Ranged DPS and healers should position themselves near other pillars. Ikiss will soon cast his initial Arcane Bolt volley. Once sufficient threat has been established by the tank, DPS can begin. If possible, dispel polymorphs quickly. Watch for his blink and the AoE animation; as soon as this is seen, all characters must quickly run around a pillar near them, to a location where line of sight on Ikiss is broken. After the very noticeable blast, the tank should immediately move to re-establish aggro if another character has gained it. Another volley and polymorph will soon follow. Repeat until Ikiss is dead. |
||
| + | * {{achievement|Agent of the Shen'dralar}} added as a [[Feats of Strength achievements|Feat of Strength]]. |
||
| + | * Two new companion pet achievements added: {{achievement|Petting Zoo}} and {{achievement|Menagerie}}. |
||
| + | * Items disenchanted via the Disenchant loot roll now count towards the [[Dust, Dust and more Dust!]] guild achievement (whichever guild the disenchanter is in gets credit). |
||
| + | * New quest achievements added: {{achievement|2500 Daily Quests Complete}} and {{achievement|Justly Rewarded}}. |
||
| + | * New achievements for consuming Cataclysm food and drink added: {{achievement|Cataclysmically Delicious}} and {{achievement|Drown Your Sorrows}}. |
||
| + | * New tabard achievement added: {{achievement|Thirty Tabards}}. |
||
| + | * New achievement added for {{achievement|Vial of the Sands (achievement)|Vial of the Sands}}. |
||
| + | * New achievement added for eating cookies: {{achievement|You'll Feel Right as Rain}}. |
||
| + | ==World Environment== |
||
| − | Melee classes seem to be most prone to dying in this strategy, as they usually have the farthest to run when Ikiss begins his AoE; if your party includes several (or is otherwise unable to survive long enough to kill Ikiss using the above strategy) Arcane Resistance gear or Arcane Protection consumables may help. |
||
| + | *[[Old Ironforge]] has been opened. |
||
| + | * [[Darnassus]] has additional [[Darnassus Sentinel]]s at previously unguarded regions. |
||
| + | *A [[To Zul'Gurub quest chain|long quest chain]] <!-- See Template:To Zul'Gurub --> has been added leading to the reopened [[Zul'Gurub (instance)|Zul'Gurub]]. |
||
| + | *A Shaman trainer named [[Droha]] has been added to [[Darnassus]], and [[Rukua]], the Paladin trainer previously standing near [[Tyrande Whisperwind]], has been moved next to him. Both are standing near the portals to [[Exodar]] and [[Blasted Lands]] and appear to be in a conversation with [[Elissa Dumas]], the Darnassus Portal Trainer. |
||
| + | *Several goblins who mistakenly had the glowing blue eyes of death knights after the 4.0.3a model update have been fixed. This includes, but is not limited to, [[Baron Revilgaz]] and [[Qizzik]]. |
||
| + | *[[Vassandra Stormclaw]] no longer has "death knight eyes," and now has a tag indicating her role as a Druid trainer (she had been a druid trainer already). |
||
| + | *[[Halduron Brightwing]] has been given a new outfit. |
||
| + | *Anvils and forges located in both Alliance and Horde sections of the [[Temple of Earth]] in [[Deepholm]] are now functional and have proper mouseover tooltips. |
||
| + | *[[Marith Lazuria]] has now moved inside the building she was previously standing outside of. |
||
| + | *[[Fungalmancer Glop]] does not drop loot anymore, despite his tooltip suggesting he still drops [[Sprinkle of Verlok Miracle-Grow]] for [[Quest:Through Persistence]]. (This could of course simply be a bug.) |
||
| + | *{{npc||Terrowulf Packlord}} has been moved from an area of [[Thunder Peak]] inaccessible by land travel to a new area in the [[Howling Vale]]. |
||
| + | *[[Shore Crab]]s are now much smaller, making them easier to identify them as critters. |
||
| + | *A [[Verlok Grubthumper]] at the border of [[Verlok Stand]] and [[Crimson Expanse]] was moved down a rock so he would not evade unless engage in melee range. |
||
| + | *{{npc||Gatekeeper Rageroar}}, a rare mob in Azshara who used to be part of the [[Timbermaw Hold]] faction, will no longer cause players to lose reputation with that faction when killing him. |
||
| + | == Professions == |
||
| − | Generally, the most difficult part of the Ikiss fight is learning to notice his AoE animation. Once everyone knows what to look for and is able to quickly move to avoid it, the fight becomes trivial. The only difficulty then comes from DPS not waiting until aggro is re-established after the blast, and pulling Ikiss off the tank and dying. |
||
| + | *Reagents, patterns and cogwheels are now sold by many more vendors including ones in capital cities. Some professions (such blacksmithing) require these patterns to reach 525 skill. Previously these items were only available off Twilight Highland vendors and only after doing a quest chain starting at level 84. This effectively reduces the min level required for the relevant professions down from 84 to level 75. |
||
| + | *The new Cooking and Fishing dailies in Darnassus, Ironforge, Thunder Bluff and Undercity are exclusive with the ones in Orgrimmar and Stormwind and each other, respectively. You can only complete one racial city Cooking and Fishing daily per day. |
||
| + | * Many previously faction-specific Cooking recipes (such as Kaldorei Spider Kabob) which were removed with Cataclysm are now trainable from both Horde and Alliance Cooking trainers![http://www.wowheadnews.com/blog=188025/news-roundup-undocumented-changes-4-2-preview-conquest-points-and-more] |
||
| + | * Several Jewelcrafting, Engineering, and Leatherworking recipes no longer require [[Flask of Mojo]] and [[Flask of Big Mojo]], which are now poor quality (grey) items. |
||
| + | === Archaeology === |
||
| − | Other effective strategies include using the stairs to the entrance/exit of the instance to break line of sight, having rogues use [[Cloak of Shadows]] to avoid the AoE blast entirely, and having healers equip PvP trinkets to dispel polymorph or using a [[Grounding Totem]] to avoid it. The volley may only be cast when there is at least one person out of melee range of Ikiss; moving everyone close to him may stop him from casting it, but can also make detecting his blink much more difficult. On the other hand, if entire groups knows well how blink/AoE animation sequence looks like or watches his emotes closely, staying together may actually help people to react on his preparations faster, as they won't have to check where exactly Ikiss blinked this time to decide where to run, because when everyone stay together Ikiss would practically blink to same place he was standing before casting his AOE. |
||
| + | *The progression bar for research projects has been set back in place, having been accidentally shifted to the left in the last patch. |
||
| + | ===Enchanting=== |
||
| − | Picking one pillar in advance for the whole party to hide behind can be very helpful to the healer. Additionally, using a ping-pong strategy each time Ikiss uses his AOE, will make it easier for the tank to re-establish aggro. After running behind a pillar, simply wait for Ikiss to come to you after his AOE (as opposed to running back out into the middle). This strategy works especially well in Heroic mode, since Ikiss will also cast [[slow]] on the party. |
||
| + | *When in a dungeon group with a character that has leveled enchanting, the chat screen will print out "''[name of item]'' has been disenchanted for loot by ''[name of player with Enchanting]''" upon anyone in the group winning a disenchant roll. |
||
| + | ==User interface== |
||
| − | ''Paladin Note: If your tank is an Alliance Paladin Tank, using [[Seal of Vengeance]] after getting initial aggro can help getting aggro after the blinks as it does [[DoT]] Holy damage.'' |
||
| + | [[File:CharInfoTabs.jpg|thumb|New character tabs]] |
||
| + | * Shaman characters now have a totem displayed on the right on the character select screen. |
||
| + | * [[COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED]] has a new argument inserted on 5th place, named "hideCaster". |
||
| + | * Character Stats, Titles and Equipment Manager are placed under tabs at the right in the Character frame. |
||
| + | * Drop down box for guild rank demotion/promotion added. |
||
| + | * On the [[Blizzard Launcher]], the patch completion alert and PLAY button sounds have been changed. |
||
| + | * Worgen characters can no longer change from one form to another using /transform, and the CanTransform() API call has been removed for reasons unknown. |
||
| + | * The open all bags bind no longer works with bank bags. |
||
| + | * All alt-codes and special characters can now be used in chat. |
||
| + | * Switching talent specs now uses a different sound effect. |
||
| + | * You can no longer /dance while in combat. |
||
| + | * The authenticator prompt is no longer on the main login screen. This was an intentional change to prepare for future authentication functionality.[http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2456905723#6] |
||
| + | * Guild reputation is now displayed at the top of the reputation window instead of the bottom. |
||
| + | * Rated Battlegrounds have been added to the raid browser. |
||
| + | * The help window has been given an overhaul. The Knowledge Base now sorts topics by subject. "Report Abuse" and "Account Security" buttons have been added. |
||
| + | * Pending GM tickets are now displayed on the help window button instead of at the top of the screen. |
||
| + | ==Bug Fixes== |
||
| − | '''At all times it is possible to reset this encounter by having your party members run out of his room to the middle of the chamber before his.''' Arcane Volley can still hit you, but as long as the primary aggro target is out of his room, he will reset. |
||
| + | * Fixed a bug that caused all [[Treant]]s to display the same skin. |
||
| + | * Fixed a bug that prevented players without the [[Wrath of the Lich King]] expansion from obtaining the [[Darkshore]] quest, {{quest|The Emerald Dream}}. |
||
| + | * Fixed a bug preventing Alliance players from using {{npc||Archmage Xylem}}'s portals in [[Arcane Pinnacle]], [[Azshara]]. |
||
| + | * Fixed a bug causing the camera for Nether Ray mounts to move upon mounting and flying. |
||
| + | * Fixed a bug that caused some players to disconnect during the quest {{quest|Fade to Black}}. |
||
| − | == |
+ | ==Possible bugs== |
| + | *[[Far Sight]] cannot be canceled by jumping. |
||
| − | Many groups have trouble getting behind the pillars quickly enough. An easier method for handling the AoE, especially for melee-heavy groups, is to have the tank pull Ikiss to the hallway from which you entered and tank him right outside it, off to one side, in the room before Ikiss's chamber. When he blinks to begin his AoE, the party runs inside the hallway to either side of the doorway, and thus out of line of sight for the AoE. After the cast, Ikiss will run to the tank, and the tank moves him back to one side of the door. (Alternately, the tank can pull him to one side of the hallway, and the party run to either side of the door in the room before Ikiss's chamber. This tactic gives the party a significantly shorter distance to run to get out of Ikiss's range. |
||
| + | *[[Baradin Fox]]es are as small as critters. |
||
| + | *The mounts of the <!--Horde--> questgivers in Tol Barad don't use the flying animation anymore and appear to be standing in the air. [[Petty Officer Chulok]]'s mount in Tol Barad Peninsula does not fly anymore as well, but stands on the ground, maybe the intended behavior.<!-- Someone needs to confirm this for the Alliance questgivers in southern Tol Barad when Alliance owns the zone. Captain Jake Sones, the A equivalent of Chulok, has no mount--> |
||
| + | *Troll players on the [[Kor'kron Annihilator]] mount now hold their banner as a jousting spear. |
||
| + | *The Mac client now updates time stamps on files in the Data directory every time the client is used, causing Time Machine to perform unnecessary backups. |

||
| + | [[Category:World of Warcraft patches|4.1.0 (undocumented changes)]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Heroic mode=== |
||
| − | Talon King Ikiss is somewhat more difficult now on Heroic Difficulty because he now will sheep the tank at random. When this happens, it is likely to cause a wipe because he will immediately aggro on the healer. Druid tanks are immune to his polymorph, and thus have a large advantage here. Healers could try to survive (paladin bubble, priest fade). |
||
| − | |||
| − | His damage output is about doubled on plate (1600–2000 a hit on a decently geared warrior) and all of his abilities have had their damage significantly upped. His arcane volley now hits for between 2000 and 4000 and he uses it fairly often, so it is advisable to bring arcane protection potions and/or two or three pieces of arcane resist gear to counter that. His blink/arcane explosion mechanics are the same — avoidable by line of sight, provided you have no lag problems. He is still very squishy, so concentrated damage can burn him down rather quickly. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Another problem in the fight is his arcane volley, so the healer has to be prepared to keep everyone close to topped off or they may end up dying from one of those. [[Healthstones]] and potions are invaluable in this fight at keeping people topped off, but the arcane resist makes it easier. |
||
| − | |||
| − | As of 2.1.0, he randomly casts [[Slow]] on the party, which lasts for around 10 seconds; this can be devastating before the arcane explosion. If a priest is healing, it's possible for the priest to mass dispel the group, so they have just enough time to run around the pillars. This can only be pulled off if the group is in the center, and everyone is paying attention to the Raid Warnings put up. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Another technique for heroic mode === |
||
| − | One technique that has been proven to work involves placement of the two carpets in the hall. As you first enter the hall there is a green carpet at your feet. There is another carpet to your left, between the two pillars. |
||
| − | |||
| − | If the tank can keep Ikiss in the center until the blink, the rest of the party should stay on the carpet. Immediately following the blink, the tank should run directly to the other carpet, and the other four should run around the pillar to that same carpet. Do not heal or cast until the tank picks up aggro again. Repeat this procedure, alternating carpets. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Tips == |
||
| − | * Bear tanks, which generate all their threat via physical damage, may have some difficulty holding aggro while Ikiss has Mana Shield up. He tends to use it when he is at low health, and it leads to agonizing wipes. Be ready to dispel or steal it. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * On heroic mode, if all else fails, just focus on healing the tank and the healer. It can be hard to heal through the arcane bolt volleys, as they hit everyone. It can be especially difficult for paladins. It is a lot easier when the volley only hits two targets. It takes a long time for the tank to kill Ikiss on his own, but it works eventually. |

General
- Companion pets when summoned will now only despawn when another pet is summoned or they're dismissed. This includes death of a player, loading screens, and being logged out.
- Damage-dealing knockback abilities will no longer knock the target away if the damage results in a killing blow. This change is likely a workaround for a bug that would often make NPCs killed by knockbacks unlootable without logging out and logging back in.

- A countdown timer has been added displaying the time until the battle begins.
Items
- Many non-combat pets have new sounds when clicked. Additionally, non-combat pets no longer generate constant noise while summoned (examples of pets affected are [Lil' Smoky] and [Disgusting Oozeling])
- [Bone Fragments], [Crypt Fiend Parts], [Dark Iron Scraps], [Core of Elements], and [Savage Frond], which became useless in 4.0.3a since they could no longer be turned in for Argent Dawn reputation, are now poor quality (grey) items.
- [Glass Fishing Bobber] now functions as a lure.
- Bind on Equip items won through a Need roll will now bind to the character.
- Alliance Warrior Infantry mobs (that are killed for the Tol Barad daily quest The Leftovers) now have the same loot as other Alliance infantry mobs in Tol Barad. (They previously dropped no loot, not even coin.)
- Flying mounts now state "This is a flying mount." in both the item and spell tooltip.
- Trinkets no longer shares cooldown with [Lifeblood].
Achievements
- Agent of the Shen'dralar added as a Feat of Strength.
- Two new companion pet achievements added: Petting Zoo and Menagerie.
- Items disenchanted via the Disenchant loot roll now count towards the Dust, Dust and more Dust! guild achievement (whichever guild the disenchanter is in gets credit).
- New quest achievements added: 2500 Daily Quests Complete and Justly Rewarded.
- New achievements for consuming Cataclysm food and drink added: Cataclysmically Delicious and Drown Your Sorrows.
- New tabard achievement added: Thirty Tabards.

World Environment
- Old Ironforge has been opened.
- Darnassus has additional Darnassus Sentinels at previously unguarded regions.
- A long quest chain has been added leading to the reopened Zul'Gurub.
- A Shaman trainer named Droha has been added to Darnassus, and Rukua, the Paladin trainer previously standing near Tyrande Whisperwind, has been moved next to him. Both are standing near the portals to Exodar and Blasted Lands and appear to be in a conversation with Elissa Dumas, the Darnassus Portal Trainer.
- Several goblins who mistakenly had the glowing blue eyes of death knights after the 4.0.3a model update have been fixed. This includes, but is not limited to, Baron Revilgaz and Qizzik.
- Vassandra Stormclaw no longer has "death knight eyes," and now has a tag indicating her role as a Druid trainer (she had been a druid trainer already).
- Halduron Brightwing has been given a new outfit.
- Anvils and forges located in both Alliance and Horde sections of the Temple of Earth in Deepholm are now functional and have proper mouseover tooltips.
- Marith Lazuria has now moved inside the building she was previously standing outside of.
- Fungalmancer Glop does not drop loot anymore, despite his tooltip suggesting he still drops [Sprinkle of Verlok Miracle-Grow] for Quest:Through Persistence. (This could of course simply be a bug.)
- Terrowulf Packlord has been moved from an area of Thunder Peak inaccessible by land travel to a new area in the Howling Vale.
- Shore Crabs are now much smaller, making them easier to identify them as critters.
- A Verlok Grubthumper at the border of Verlok Stand and Crimson Expanse was moved down a rock so he would not evade unless engage in melee range.
- Gatekeeper Rageroar, a rare mob in Azshara who used to be part of the Timbermaw Hold faction, will no longer cause players to lose reputation with that faction when killing him.
Professions
- Reagents, patterns and cogwheels are now sold by many more vendors including ones in capital cities. Some professions (such blacksmithing) require these patterns to reach 525 skill. Previously these items were only available off Twilight Highland vendors and only after doing a quest chain starting at level 84. This effectively reduces the min level required for the relevant professions down from 84 to level 75.
- The new Cooking and Fishing dailies in Darnassus, Ironforge, Thunder Bluff and Undercity are exclusive with the ones in Orgrimmar and Stormwind and each other, respectively. You can only complete one racial city Cooking and Fishing daily per day.
- Many previously faction-specific Cooking recipes (such as Kaldorei Spider Kabob) which were removed with Cataclysm are now trainable from both Horde and Alliance Cooking trainers![1]
- Several Jewelcrafting, Engineering, and Leatherworking recipes no longer require [Flask of Mojo] and [Flask of Big Mojo], which are now poor quality (grey) items.
Archaeology
- The progression bar for research projects has been set back in place, having been accidentally shifted to the left in the last patch.
Enchanting
- When in a dungeon group with a character that has leveled enchanting, the chat screen will print out "[name of item] has been disenchanted for loot by [name of player with Enchanting]" upon anyone in the group winning a disenchant roll.

- All alt-codes and special characters can now be used in chat.

- The Mac client now updates time stamps on files in the Data directory every time the client is used, causing Time Machine to perform unnecessary backups.
