News Roundup: Rated Battleground Format Change, PVP Balance, Epic Gem Slots and more!
Quite a few new Blue posts today on a bit of a wide variety of topics. Most important to note is the change of the rated battlegrounds format from 15vs15 to 10vs10. Be sure to read the detailed Blizzard post below for more information! Also, a reminder from Blizzard that threatening people over the Internet is absolutely absurd and you shouldn't do it unless you want the FBI banging down your door. And you'd deserve it.

4.0.6 PTR Patch Notes Updated (1/12)
Blizzard has just updated their
PTR Patch 4.0.6 Notes
with the latest build changes!
A number of Haste-based changes have been temporarily reverted, "waiting on code change to make haste scaling more consistent with spell haste," so don't fret - they'll probably be back (here's looking at you, hunters). Most notable changes include:
The definition of a Guild Group for 5-player dungeons has been refined, guild experience boost for a full guild 5-player group.
More Heroic
Les Mortemines
nerfs!
Players can now see the status of
Tol Barad
on the World Map no matter where they are.
(
Druide
) Shapeshifts: Entering or leaving a shapeshift no longer cancels root effects. It continues to cancel movement slowing effects.
Some previously mentioned
Chasseur
nerfs now slightly less nerfy!

This latest build nearly doubled the size of the patch notes, and includes many new changes in dungeons & raids, spell / talent changes for nearly every class / spec, and many welcome profession buffs as well! Some major highlights include:
Nearly every Heroic dungeon encounter has been retooled! Some fights / abilities have been nerfed, others buffed!
Some missing Azerothian rare spawns have been re-added with buffed loot and respawn timers! Hunters rejoice!
A socket has been added to all crafted epic armor pieces that did not already have one.

4.0.6 PTR Patch Notes Updated - New Meta Gems!
Malgayne pointed it out
earlier
, but I wanted to draw more attention to the fact that, last night, Blizzard updated their
Patch 4.0.6 PTR Patch Notes
!
Notable changes include:
All guild banners now reward bonus reputation in addition to honor and experience.
Archaeology fragments now have a hard cap of 200 per race. Players will not be able to collect additional fragments until they complete artifacts to take them down below 200 fragments. Players with more than 200 fragments will not lose additional fragments in 4.0.6, but in a future patch we may remove any fragments above 200.
Meta gems with the Chaotic and Relentless prefixes now have a requirement of 3 red gems.
New meta gems have been added: Agile Shadowspirit Diamond (Agility/3% critical damage), Reverberating Shadowspirit Diamond (Strength/3% critical damage), and Burning Shadowspirit Diamond (Intellect/3% critical damage). These new recipes are unbound and can drop from any Cataclysm creature. The new meta gems have a requirement of 3 red gems equipped.

Archaeology Impressions
How's the Cataclysm been treating you guys so far? The expansion added a ton of new things to do, including new dungeons to run, quests to complete, raid encounters to defeat, items to craft and otherwise acquire. Despite all of those substantially more "important" things, a new secondary profession was added, available to players who have purchased the expansion.
Archéologie
lures players to spend the substantial amount of time grinding out digsites and completing artifacts with promises of odd, quirky and even downright amazing blue and epic quality items. Other secondary professions offer an expected, substantial benefit, such as the valuable food buffs obtained by
Cuisine
and
Pêche
, and who doesn't love being able to bandage? But
Archéologie
is a bit different.
Read on for Archaeology information, including lists of all of the rare artifacts, and my own personal impressions of the profession!

Cataclysm is tomorrow (or today really), and one of the (many) things that will become available when the clock strikes midnight is the new professions.
Not only will everyone have access to the new profession,
Archaeology

Illustrious Grand Master!
We have (of course) written up a preview of all the professions, archaeology included, below. Like many of these posts, this content has been posted in our

Official Cataclysm Preview: Archaeology
Blizzard has posted a new preview of the new secondary profession in Cataclysm:
Archéologie
. Archaeology will be able to be learnt by anyone, led by the
Ligue des explorateurs
and the new horde faction
Reliquary
of Silvermoon. According to the preview you will be able to complete artifacts that in turn reward you with some awesome items, like
Sceptre d'Azj'Aqir
and
Jeune raptor fossilisé
.

Huge Cataclysm Site Update! Over 3000+ Items! (Finally)
So, we've been missing a good number of items on our
Cataclysm site
for a little while now, and our db guys have been racking their brains trying to figure out what was wrong. It wasn't until today that someone dug into an old, musty closet full of code and noticed a particular segment that got added a long time ago—specifically, a block of code which was intended to filter out private server items by blocking all items above a certain (very high) item ID #.
Problem is, over the years WoW has added a
lot of items
. So many, in fact, that
legitimate
item IDs are now appearing in numbers above the "absurdly high" threshold we set years ago. We removed that cap, and suddenly new items started importing...
So! Our latest update includes a whopping
3282 new items
, 1 new achievement, 2 new talents, and 160 spells! You can check out all of our latest additions here:

Profession/Skill Pages in the Database!
On top of the recent addition of
class and race
pages to the database, we've now added
professions and skills
pages to the site!

Alchimie
You can now access a central location for all the information you need to know on a particular skill or profession through a convenient item on the menu. Mouse over the Database menu at the top and give it a try—and leave a comment or two while you're there.
The information on these pages was already available on Wowhead, only scattered throughout multiple areas of the site. We're hoping this will make browsing easier, so let us know what you think!

Well, we've seen what the plans for the class changes in
Cataclysm
are - 3 new abilities in the 80-85 range, talent modifications, new talents, and some core class mechanics overhauls. Oh, and masteries. Overall - pretty interesting stuff.
Now a new wave of juicy and interesting news hits the board - changes in the professions. Ever been annoyed by the various profession specializations? Well, that's going away. Elixirs not good enough for you? Getting buffed. New Jewelcrafting, Cooking and Fishing dailies, but most importantly -
