3:24 PM PDT - Changes: I have personally verified the following Inscription item changes. (Thanks to Alto for the heads up on the possibility of these changes.)

• Forged Douments material cost changed. 1 Blackfallow Ink (down from 3) and 1 Resilient Parchment. 
• Adventrure's Journal use cooldown changed to be 1 hour (down from 4). 

3:48 PM PDT - Possible opportunity: Gouging Snowfall Ink. 1 required for Northrend Inscr. Research to learn new Glyph of Frost Armor.

Also for some reason I received two different Brew of the Month Club brews in my mailbox: Blackrock Lager and Springtime Stout. This may be normal but I found it strange. According to this wowhead comment Blackrock Lager is June's Brew of the Month while Sprintime Stout is May's. Strange. Was beer the reason they had a server reset?

4:39 PM PDT - Additions: There are apphenently new level 85 quests available in Strangle Thorn Veil. One gives a panther cub companion pet.

6:12 PM PDT - Tips: If your having issues with auction addons not seeming to work close your auction window then reopen it. Many times this will allow them to function properly. (Thanks to Bangkok Bill for letting us know about this.)

6:23 PM PDT - Link: "Jewelcrafting in 4.1: Continued Success with Elementium Moebius Band" at Capped By Cata.

Talking Points:

• What is the most unexpected thing patch 4.1 has brought?
• How is your server adjusting to the new gem vendor price changes?
• Why do you think Blizzard kept the raw uncommon vendor price at 5g when the cut is now 75s?
