Love Fool Title Achievement Fixed on PTR, Sorta

A few days ago I noticed a blue response to an off the wall thread in the official forums that asked for “ghetto hearthing” to be nerfed. The thread was, of course, started by a mage that claimed that the exploiting of the free hearth cost him/her gold because people didn’t need ports anymore… Eyonix responded with what seemly looked like a sarcastic way of blowing off the subject: Eyonix But then mages who hate being asked for ports will make rant posts demanding we bring back ghetto hearthing. Mages like to yell.

Still lots of 3.1 info to sort through, but a very exciting change to dual spec was announced today by CM Zarhym. Apparently the level requirement will be lowered to 40, lexicon requirement removed, and will only take a 5 second, out of combat, cast time to swap. Zarhym Dual specialization isn’t something everyone needs.

Dual Spec Level Lowered to 40, Can Be Swapped Anywhere!

More blue info was leaked tonight about an upcoming event on the PTR, The Argent Tournament, will be tested once the PTR is up (if ever!). Below is the info: Zarhym In patch 3.1, a new world event titled “The Argent Tournament” will be coming to Northrend!
