'''Miner Hackett''' is a level 29 [[human]] found within [[Azurelode Mine]] in the [[Hillsbrad Foothills]].

'''Patch 4.0.6''' is a tooltip display fix and class adjustment patch. Hotfixes applied after 4.0.3a updated the actual spells in the game, but not the tooltips used to display them in the client. This patch fixes that, and makes a few other balance tweaks.

*Many [[rare mob|rare creatures]] that went into hiding upon [[Deathwing]]'s emergence into [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]] have made a return! In addition to finding new homes in a [[Shattering|post-''Cataclysm'']] world, they drop new, improved loot, provide a healthy experience bonus, and respawn much more quickly when killed. Happy hunting!

Patch 4.0.6 is a tooltip display fix and class adjustment patch. Hotfixes applied after 4.0.3a updated the actual spells in the game, but not the tooltips used to display them in the client. This patch fixes that, and makes a few other balance tweaks.

Last Blizzard update: January 19, 4:20 PM PST

    • The drops from Tiny Treasure Chests have been improved slightly.
  • Archaeology
    • Archaeology fragments now have a hard cap of 200 per race. Players will not be able to collect additional fragments until they complete artifacts to take them down below 200 fragments. Players with more than 200 fragments will not lose additional fragments in 4.0.6, but in a future patch we may remove any fragments above 200.
    • Archaeology finds now grant a guaranteed skill point up to 50 skill, and then no longer grant skill gains, as opposed to granting up to 100 skill very slowly.

  • Cooking
  • Enchanting
    • Three new enchants are available. They increase Agility by 50, Strength by 50, or Intellect by 50 respectively. Item level 300 or higher required. These new recipes are rare world drops.

    • Inv misc enggizmos 30 [Mystic Cogwheel] is a new Engineering Cogwheel gem which provides resilience rating and can be purchased from the Engineering vendor for 55 Pvpcurrency-honor-alliancePvpcurrency-honor-horde [Honor Points].
    • Synapse Springs now increase Agility, Strength, or Intellect (whichever is highest for the character). In addition, the effect now lasts 10 seconds, down from 12.

Items

  • Inv misc bell 01 [Bell of Enraging Resonance] can now trigger from any damage spell instead of only critical strikes.
  • Inv helmet plate raiddeathknight i 01 [Daybreaker Helm] stats have been reallocated, lowering Strength and increasing parry rating.
  • The Inv misc cat trinket08 [Fury of Angerforge] internal cooldown has been drastically reduced so this trinket will build up charges much faster.
  • The Honor Commodities and Justice Commodities Vendors now sell raw tradeskill materials. These are not intended to be a cost-effective source of these materials, but an option for players with lots of Justice or Pvpcurrency-honor-alliancePvpcurrency-honor-horde [Honor Points] who have already purchased all of the gear that interests them.
  • The cooldown on the Inv bannerpvp 01 [Horde Battle Standard] has been adjusted to 10 minutes to be consistent with the Alliance version.
  • Inv jewelcrafting dragonseye02 [Left Eye of Rajh]: Chance of triggering increased.

    • The PvE warlock 4-piece set bonus (Fel Spark) now increases the damage done by the next 2 Fel Flame spells by 300%, rather than increasing the critical effect chance of one by 100%.
    • All PvP 4-piece bonuses have had their flat stat values cut in half. Primary stats are very powerful in Cataclysm, so much so that players were considering using PvP gear in PvE just because of these primary stat bonuses.
    • The PvP priest 4-piece set bonus has been redesigned. When Spell holy powerwordshield [Power Word: Shield] is cast on the priest, movement speed reduction effects are temporally suppressed for 4 seconds.
    • The PvP warlock 4-piece set bonus has been redesigned. It now reduces the cooldown of Spell shadow deathcoil [Death Coil] by 30 seconds.

  • Inv jewelcrafting dragonseye02 [Right Eye of Rajh]: Chance of triggering increased.
