PTR 3.0.8 Notes - Guide updates
I almost finished updating the guides on the site, now there is only Herbalism and Skinning left and the secondary professions. I did not make a post about it, but the other primary professions are finished. Go and check them out:
- Alchemy Guide
- Inscription Guide - I corrected a lot of errors and made some changes.
- Jewelcrafting Guide - Revamped some of the pre-WotLK part.
- Leatherworking Guide
- Mining Guide
There will be a LOT of changes with the new 3.0.8 patch. Too bad there is not many new recipes, and the new ones can be learned at max skill level, so there won't be much change in the leveling process. However, there might be some undocumented changes with the skill ranges. Please post comments or send an e-mail if you found something that changed on the PTR and it's not on this list.
If you look at the Blacksmithing section, they mention "Increased the materials required to make several recipes that require cobalt." I didn't check it out on PTR yet, I am currently downloading the client, but I assume it will be [Reinforced Cobalt Chestpiece].
UPDATE - It's the Reinforced items. MMO-champion confirmed it.

LW Guide
Firstly, awesome site you guys have here, I suggest it to all my friends. BUT, your LW guide states that it has been updated for 3.0.8, however, the pattern materials list for 435 and upwards are all inaccurate for 3.0.8, both of the recipes listed for 435 and up (leg armors) require a frozen orb to make. Just a heads up so the guide can be updated to reflect the change and remain what is IMHO, the best Profession guide site on the web.
It's not guys, it's only me.
It's not guys, it's only me. :p
Thanks, I added the frozen orbs to the list.
Tailoring
The primal mooncloth has had it's cooldown erased. Can make as many as you like as often. If you are a mooncloth tailor you get the proc everytime. Same goes for Spell Cloth and Shadow Cloth. Not a big deal, but makes it easier to get all your alts 20-slot bags and other items using these BC cloth.
