What's New
- 14 April 2008 - Even More Post-2.4 Updates!
The post-2.4 update frenzy continues, with AddOns from:
- 25 March 2008 - 2.4 AddOns
The addon update rush is on! Some of the first out the gate include:
Note that due to a major overhaul of the combat text system, many damage meter addons will take rewriting to function again. Some mods (DamageMeters for one) are being dropped due to this. Keep an eye on the interface sites to see if your favorite one reemerges! - 25 March 2008 - Sunwell (Re)opens for Business!
Patch 2.4.0, the Fury of the Sunwell, is now downloading to a client near you. This introduces the new Sunwell Isle area, with lots of new quests and new 5- and 25-player instances.
- New neutral faction: Shattered Sun Offensive with a new set of daily quests (and an increase in the daily quest limit to 25)
- Instant credit for honor (no need to wait for rollover!) and elimination of the diminishing returns for repeat kills
- Over 50 new recipes! (Site and Reagent Data will be updated tonight), and a move of the Scale of the Sands gem cuts to the Shattered Sun Offensive vendors
As usual, the full patch notes may be found here. Happy questing!
- 28 December 2007 - Happy Winter Veil
- Grab your presents while you can; the Winter Veil season ends with the New Year. Around Greatfather Winter's tree in Orgrimmar and Ironforge, the Winter Veil elfs (well, probably goblins) have placed presents for all good little adventurers. New this year is a sixth present, a Winter Veil Gift, containing a new pet - a wind-up Clockwork Rocket Bot toy!
Also note that if you didn't get the free recipes sent to you at the start of the season, you can purchase them from the Smokywood Pastures' vendors in Orgrimmar and Ironforge. Since the vendors are neutral, it should be possible to get the opposing faction winter clothes recipe by raiding the opposing city (we haven't tried this, but let us know if it works! :)).
A bright, blessed, and safe Winter Veil season to all!
- 18 November 2007 - Zul'aman Changes
Just in time for the weekend, lots of AddOns have been updated for the new patch:
- Fizzwidget's TrackMenu functionality was so good it's now part of the 2.3 interface (so you should remove the AddOn), and he's updated his other AddOns, including AdSpace, Disenchant Predictor, Faction Friend, Feed-o-matic, Gemologist, Hunter's Helper, Reagent Cost, and Levelator
- The ever-responsive Telo has updated his plugins, includine InfoBar
- Archarodim's Decursive
- Advanced Tradeskill Window
- Sutorix's indispensable Fishing Buddy and related plugins
- Guild-maintained versions of QuestRep, Reputation, and CraftInfo have just been updated to the latest version code (20300)
- And our version of ReagentData has been updated with all the new and changed recipes for the current patch!
Some of the other 2.3 changes now updated on our pages:
Winter Veil
Winter Veil is coming soon. New this year on the test realms were mail messages from Greatfather Winter providing recipes for (285) Winter Boots to leatherworkers and (250) Winter Clothes to tailors (Alliance toons got a recipe for red clothes, Horde toons got green).
