As content updates go, yesterday's World of Warcraft patch 3.3.3 was fairly substantial. After a few hours of not-so-unusual wow game card extended downtime, the recent patch 3.3.3 hit live servers yesterday afternoon, introducing a few radical changes to PvP and Battleground mechanics, a handful of auction house enhancements, a few profession changes and more. In addition to the new Frozen Orb-trading Frozo the Renowned NPC, character classes, items and the game client UI also received a slew of tweaks and fixes. Yesterday we offered a succinct overview of the patch changes in our release-day announcement, but casual players—or those who haven't been keeping tabs on the updated release notes—might appreciate a brief refresher course about the new features, especially regarding the specific changes to Battleground/Honor mechanics. After the jump, ZAM explains the most important things you need to know about patch 3.3.3. From the new profession changes to the various dungeon and class tweaks, we break it down in a quick-and-easy read. Without a doubt, the most popular NPC in all of Azeroth yesterday was Frozo the Renowned; at long last, players can finally wow buy gold swap all those Frozen Orbs for something useful. Introduced in patch 3.3.3, Frozo is a "Frozen Orb Trader" located in the Magus Commerce Exchange in Dalaran. Players can trade one Frozen Orb for one elemental Eternal (Eternal Fire, for example) or a Frost Lotus. He also offers Crusader Orbs in exchange for six Frozen Orbs, Runed Orbs for four Frozen Orbs and the new Pattern: Frosty Flying Carpet for six Frozen Orbs (tailors only). Frozo was—and still is—a hot topic of debate among players who claim the new Frozen Orb trading system will wreak havoc on server economies. Throughout the past couple months, the after-market price of Frozen Orbs reached an absolute low of just a few silver more than vendor value (5 gold). Thus, the price of Eternals and Frost Lotuses would effectively drop to the same amount, screwing over crafters like Alchemists, opponents claimed. Meanwhile, others point out the fact that a recent hotfix increased the drop rate for Frost Lotuses by 50 percent, and predict thewow gold market will stabilize after the initial rush of Frozen Orbs that players have stockpiled are depleted. In addition, the after-market price of Frozen Orbs is expected to rise now that they have an equivalent value of Eternals, Frost Lotuses and other crafting Orbs.
