Patch 2.4.3 coming to Test Realm

Woot! And people thought that there wouldn't be a patch before Lich King comes out!

Some interesting changes:

Mounts at 30! Yep, you will no longer have to wait until level 40 to have a mount. This means Jahde and Lilwarlock will be needing a group for their mount quests when the patch comes out.

Tailoring: No cooldown on regular mooncloth... dang, the price is going to drop I'm sure. A few new tailoring patterns have been added.

Herbalism: Mycah will sell a 28 slot herb bag. Ungoro soil and Evergreen pouches. Of course it will, because I think I just recently destroyed them because I was running out of room and was too lazy to finish the quest.

Mining: green gems will appear in mining nodes. I thought the drop rate had decreased. Wonder what was up with that? Smelt Hardened Khorium will now properly require a forge instead of an anvil and hammer. LOL didn't even notice that. I guess I've never made any?

Alchemy: Philosopher’s Stone requires 200 alchemy. Not sure if that's a decrease or increase atm.

NPC: Haris Pilton opens shop and will sell jewelry and bags. LOL

Keep track of time: Stopwatch and alarm added. Hmmm, no more using that kitchen timer that looks like an egg or tomato, or whatever you might have.

Hunter: Invisible players with Hunter’s Mark can see the hunter that put the mark on them. Huh? What fer? I don't get that one... maybe helpful if you play on a PVP server so you don't attack the wrong hunter I guess but I don't really get why you would need it in a battleground. Can a player see the person who cast holy fire on them? Blizz, what the heck? Explain yourselves.

Warlock: Curse of Shadows is being removed completely. I sure hope this nerfs them a bit. It ticks me off that they can throw those around on multiple mobs and kill them in the same time my hunter can kill one. Ticks me off. Let me get a few motes of water for my enchants for goodness sake! How would you like it if I could farm all your soul shards leaving none for you and sold them in the AH? Hmmm?

NPC: Banker Meeda, in Area 52 is now in the...well...the bank, along with a guild vault and guards. The other three Area 52 bankers are still located in the auction-house-turned-bank. Zomg, I'm not crazy! I was sure I remembered an AH there and not a bank.

Mobs: Gan’arg Analyzers will no longer occasionally become friendly to players. Hmmm, guess they were Bi-polar and were given meds. Now their mood is stable and will always be mean.

Several items sold by the Consortium reputation vendor Paulsta’ats are now bind on pick-up: Formula: Enchant Weapon- Major Striking, Design: Delicate Blood Garnet, Design: Shifting Shadow Draenite, Design: Lustrous Azure Moonstone, Design:Thick Golden Draenite. Better ship these to your alts while you can!
