Just call me Patch Mommar

Posted by J.E. Douglas at 8:00 AM

4.3.2 is supposed to be the last patch for cataclysm.   This is separating the idea of hot fixes that get rolled out when a major or minor issue comes to pass.

As I was looking at the near calculus level of changes with class mechanics.  Two things struck me as
being very important for the gold goblin in all of us.

"Power of the Aspects Buff" -- see here

This ends up being a mixed bag of good and bad.   Good because it will get more people raiding on the regular and heroic content.   Meaning more possible sales to jump start alt toons to get raid geared.   The bad part of this is that it will also allow more people to get geared quicker via raids instead of purchasing items from the AH or having them crafted.   This is going to depend on just how quickly multiple groups are thrown into the mix (notice the buff doesn't effect Looking for raid groups).

Also beneficial will be more BOE items that could be flipped quickly for profit.   All of these things will be depending on just how quickly the casual raid groups are able to access the higher content.  I wouldn't be supried that purchased gold runs will be happening more often on servers.

In patch 4.3.2 (Feb 2 Hotfix)  Notes


Events:
- Darkmoon Faire
   - [Soothsayer's Runes] and [A Treatise on Strategy] should now drop from all appropriate Heroic and raid  bosses
-  Murozond's temporal Cache now has a chance to contain monstrous Egg and A Treatise on Strategy


[Soothsayer's Runes] and [A Treatise on Strategy]  have been very strong flip candidates since they were introduced as drops with the new darkmoon faire.   With it becoming more available it's going to be more often on the AH and become less and less expensive.   If you have been storing these for a rainy day this might be the last Darkmoon Faire (Feb 5th to the 11th) to get the best prices.

Keep an eye on the extra BOE's as they pop up and jump on them when you see them at basement prices.

Good luck and good hunting
