Patch 3.3.3 Is Here!

Patch day!! For those of you who have not scoured through every letter of the new patch notes here is a brief look at the major changes.

Frozo The Renowned:

Now located in the Dalaran Magus Commerce Exchange and will be trading Frozen Orbs for various items.

With Frozen Orbs you can now get:

• Crusader Orb (6)
• Runed Orb (4)
• Eternal Fire
• Eternal Earth
• Eternal Water
• Eternal Air
• Eternal Life
• Eternal Shadow
• Frost Lotus
• Pattern: Frosty Flying Carpet[Tailors Only] (6)

Random Dungeons Changes:

The changes to random dungeons is relatively small but a nice little update. These aren't exciting changes but will be helpful next time you go in for you random.

Culling of Stratholme:

• Players may now skip the initial introduction dialog to this dungeon once they have completed it at least once.

Finally! Blizzard actually allows us to skip useless dialog we've all seen hundreds of times.

You can basically talk to Chromie and skip all the roleplay to jump directly to the first Scourge wave. A couple of other tweaks have also been made to make the dungeon slightly faster. Keep in mind the Deserter debuff has been extended to 30 minutes so it's probably best just to get it over with then sit around for extra time.

The other improvement for random dungeon groups is that you can now give a reason for why you are wanting to kick someone from your group.

Profession Changes:

Something I am personally excited about is the change for cloth transmutations. I hate, hate, HATE trying to keep a schedule to make Moonshroud. Simply put, I suck at it. Blizz has decided to get rid of transmutation cooldowns for Spellweave, Ebonweave, and Moonshroud along with the cooldown for Titansteel.

The downside to this is the effect it will most likely have on crafted goods sold on the AH. I wouldn't be surprised to see prices drop on most of the crafted gear.

Also, in regards to crafted gear, the mats required for several pieces had dropped considerably so gearing up your alts with this gear will be easier to acquire.

Here is a complete list of the profession changes:

• Ebonweave, Moonshroud and Spellweave no longer have a transmutation cooldown.
