Enchanting changes in patch 3.0.8

The developers have mentioned here and there that they weren’t totally happy with Enchanting, as far as materials go. You need too much of it, and it’s too rare to support the demand without becoming crazy inflated in price. Patch 3.0.8 was supposed to contain a few changes, and holy cow are there changes.

Preview of the new minimap mod SexyMap

Preview of the new minimap mod SexyMap

Why is the Lich King’s voice so meh  
Oh yes, Arthas was very strong. But in brute strength alone. It was proven, namely by his own eventual downfall, that he could be manipulated and out-maneuvered easily by playing to his weaknesses; his own fear and arrogance. It could stand to reason that despite the Lich [...]

Around Azeroth: Don’t turn around
 
Okay, do you guys know the strategy for this boss? No? Okay. Well, what’s the ugliest thing you can think of? No, not a male draenei in a dress. Very funny, Kirby. It’s this dude — a huge, smelly pit lord. Strutting around with some huge blades attached to his arms, [...]

Welcome back to The Care and Feeding of Warriors. The carnage you see above you is the entire Scarlet Monastery Cathedral (and all the mobs before it, too!) except for the ones who died before we got this far. (I stole this idea shamelessly [...]
