Miscellaneous patch notes (undocumented things)

[emesis]

Well, please don't take any of this as QQ in light of the impressive DPS boost to shammies and the EVEN MORE AMAZING FOLLOW CHANGES. But I thought I'd start a thread for easter eggs/undocumented changes in the 3.0.8 patch.

1. Badge of the Infiltrator (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=39811), a blue trinket in green disguise previously, was nerfed from +46 intellect and a flat SP bonus to an on-use spell power bonus.

2. Was Onyxia nerfed? I just killed her and she dropped like 50 g - I've never seen less than 180g from her although admittedly I've only killed her 4 times. This is kind of lame - given the time and effort it takes to get to Dustwallow and the fact that you can only do this about once a week, the amount of gold she drops doesn't seem excessive even for people soloing her.

Not sure if this is new or not, but Arcane Powder (or is it Dust?? whatever the reagent for Mage spells is) stacks in lots of 100 and you can buy stacks of 100. Used to be only 20...AFAIK. Didn't work for my priests reagents though.

The icon for Preserved Holly also change :P

That's all I noticed so far...

Moonfire has a nice - awesome new animation.
And just noticed on the mage im boxing with - fire ball actually looks like your hurling a lava rock - very cool stuff, sure other spells were buffed up, anyone got screenshots?

Biggest undocumented (by Blizz) change I've noticed is that Relics of Ulduar are no longer bind on pickup and they can be turned in 10x at a time for 250 Sons of Hodir rep. This was on the PTR for 3.0.8 and is confirmed live. I went from ~1000/12000 honored to 4000/21000 revered in *1* day. Thankfully I hadn't wasted any of my relics on those horrible buff items in the Frostborn town. I get plenty of relic drops from the revenants and dwarves just east of Dun Niffelem (is this a play on The Office's company Dunder Mifflim?) while doing the two dailies over there.. usually 20-30 drops for another 500-750 rep.

The "win a wintergrasp" quest was bugged atleast on my server and is now fixed.

They moved the graveyard for VOA inside the keep and i assume that is were the defenders spawn in WG now.

New blizzard animation and the zf mallet is now an actually mace and is no longer needed for summoning. This may have been documented and I simply missed it.

[Bovidae]

Eternal Earth is now yellow in color

Essence of Wintergrasp buff got a new icon

Those are the only additional changes I noticed.

[Multibocks]

No low level dungeons require keys anymore, ie. Maradon Scepter, Rining the gong for ZF, and I believe UBRS. Unsure about Strat and Scholo, but I assume its the same.

[Toned]

You no longer need essences to summon MajorDomo/Ragnaros.

[Vlix]

The DK charger mount and DK flying mount icons are swapped, i dont think this was intended and will probably be fixed soon.

Mining is now 1 tap and you get everything from the node, makes mining go alot faster! It seemed to me that Cobalt/Saronite nodes were giving more ores, anyone else think so?

The new Healing potion injector now has a unique icon, not sure about the mana potion injector...
