I tell you one thing about Wrath that I am really liking right now…Profession changes!  I am actually glad for once that my Druid and Warlock are both enchanters, now I get more than just ring enchants! Scrolls of enchantment are the saviour of the enchanting profession.

What are Scrolls of enchantment?

Scrolls of Enchantment are the future of enchanting…duh!  Now instead of having to find an enchanter while they are online, the enchanter can simply gather the materials and then craft the enchant.  The enchant will be in the form of a scroll that anyone will be able to use to enchant the specific item with that specific enchant.

What does this change?

Everything pretty much.  This means Enchanters will now be able take materials form them into scrolls of enchantment and then place them on the Auction House, mail them,etc.  In fact you will even be able to pass rare enchants through neutral auction houses to the opposing faction. 

This is truly an amazing change that will benefit everyone single person in the game, and not just benefit the enchanter. 

Then why didn’t Blizzard do this sooner?!?

I have no idea, it really doesn’t seem overly difficult to implement.  I really wish it had come sooner, but that is looking at the glass half empty.  I am a glass half full kind of guy, so I would rather be extremely happy that they do finally plan to implement it after talking about it sinc the launch of the Burning Crusade.

The day I sell my first enchant via a scroll will be a very happy day for me.

What other new things are out there for Enchanters?

Well you know those low level wands you were able to craft before.  It seems that they will finally create an epic maximum level wand for enchanters to craft.  I mean it only seems logical to me that enchanters should be able to make some really nice magical wands.

These are more great changes by Blizzard, and the more I hear about the expansion the more excited I get!  I can hardly wait for the release… hopefully I may get a Beta invite yet!

Well the NDA has been lifted, and tons of information is pouring out to the public.  Some of the most useful, but often boring to read, are the patch notes.  You will find tons of good info here though so read on!

Welcome to the World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Beta Test. The list below contains information on the current available content for testing and general information. This information is subject to change. Alpha testers should note that your characters have been temporarily locked out. In a few weeks time, we will unlock these characters and you will be able to continue to level them. Please visit the Beta forums to submit feedback and discuss the expansion development with others.

General

• The continent of Northrend is now available! To travel there, visit one of four transportation masters in either Orgrimmar, Undercity, Stormwind Harbor,or Menethil Harbor.
• The floating magical city of Dalaran is now available!
• The Barber Shop has been implemented and you can now visit one of the Barber Shops in the major cities to change your appearance.
• The all new Achievement System has been implemented.
• Transportation between Howling Fjord and Borean Tundra can be found at the Tuskarr villages in those zones.
• The level cap is currently set to 77.
• Hit Rating, Critical Strike Rating, and Haste Rating now modify both melee attacks and spells.
• Spellpower:
  • All items and effects which grant bonuses to spell damage and spell healing are being consolidated into a single stat, Spellpower. This stat will appear with the same values found on items which grant “increased spell damage and healing” such as on typical Mage and Warlock itemization.
  • For classes which do not heal, they should see no change in the character sheet other than new tooltip wording.
  • Healing characters will see their bonus healing numbers on the character sheet decrease, however, all healing spells have been modified to receive more benefit from spellpower than they received from bonus healing, with a net effect of no change to the amount healed by their spells. Some talents have had to be rebalanced to accommodate this change, but the amount healed will remain roughly the same. In addition, some talents will provide only healing spell power.
