Patch 5.3 Herbalism and Mining changes

Herbalists and Miners will be able to gather herbs and ores with low skill in Pandaria. You will get fragments like [Ghost Iron Nugget] and [Torn Green Tea Leaf] when you gather herbs or ores. These are just a few examples, there is a fragment version for every herb and ore. (for trillium there is currently none) You can combine 10 of these fragments into a single ore or herb.

Here is the official quote:

Darkmoon Faire Profession Quests

There is an event called Darkmoon Faire that appears in the game once a month, starting at 00:01 on the Sunday before the 1st Monday of each month. During the event you can complete quests for each professions. The profession quests can only be completed once during each Darkmoon Faire and will grant 5 skill points (means you can complete them again once at the next faire). Some of the quest requires additional items, but all of those items can be bought from vendors, don't buy them from the Auction House. The location of the Faire is on Darkmoon Island. The portals to the Island can be accessed in the following locations:
  • Eastern Kingdoms, on the south side of Goldshire in Elwynn Forest
  • Kalimdor, in Mulgore at the base of Thunder Bluff
The nearest vendors to the Darkmoon Faire portals are Shadi Mistrunner (Horde), Tharynn Bouden (Alliance). You can buy the Moonberry Juice for the Alchemy quest from Kuruk (Horde), Innkeeper Farley (Alliance).

Patch 4.0.3a - The Shattering

Patch 4.0.3a will be deployed on live servers this week and will change the world of Azeroth forever. This will affect my mining, herbalism and skinning guide. I was able to finish the mining guide and herbalism guide before they shut down the beta server, those two guides are already updated. I will do the skinning guide as soon as the servers come back online. I also browsed through my guides, but it seems most of the vendor bought recipes aren't changed at all. There won't be any change for the rest of the professions with patch 4.0.3a, at least I couldn't find anything.

How to get Realm First! Illustrious Miner?

I know that most of the players who will try to get the Realm First! Illustrious Miner achievement are beta players. For those of you who weren't lucky enough to get a beta key, I made a guide which can help you to get this achievement. The mining routes on the maps are also the best routes to farm the ores on the first day when Cataclysm launches. First, you need to have a mining skill of 450, that's pretty obvious for everyone I guess. It's also important to have the following enchant: [Formula: Enchant Gloves - Advanced Mining]. You need the enchant because you can leave Mount Hyal earlier this way at 470, and you will be able to mine Pyrite Deposit at 520 and Rich Elementium Vein at 495.

WoW Leveling Guide 1-110 Do you want to reach level 120 fast?

I recommend Zygor's Leveling Guide. The guide is in a small window on your main screen in-game. All the detail that you need to complete the quest is included. You’ll never have to switch back to a website, or even the in-game main map to see where you have to go or what’s next. The guide is available for both Horde and Alliance.

I use Zygor's guide for leveling and I highly recommend it.
