Enchanting changes in patch 3.0.8

via WoW Economist by Kevin on 1/5/09

As we covered a few weeks ago, some enchanting recipes are being changed in the upcoming patch. Thanks to well-formatted post at MMO-Champion, we've got a much better idea of what's being changed - nearly all the Wrath enchants!

Many of them are having their dust and essence (especially essence) requirements lowered, some have had Dream Shards added or Dream Shards to replace Abyss Crystals. With the additions of two new tanking enchants, we can definitely expect Dream Shard prices to rise - probably double or triple their current cost. I've been stocking up over the last few weeks and I'm already seeing the prices climb from 4-5g each to about 8-9g each. And the increases in price isn't stopping any time soon.

I have not yet heard if the patch is coming during tomorrow's maintanence or not, but it has to be soon. You still have a chance to pick up some more dream shards before the auction house is cleared out and inflation sets in.
