==Achievements==
−
A skill linked to the [[Archaeology]] profession.
 
  +
* {{achievement|The Undying (achievement)|The Undying}} and {{achievement|The Immortal (achievement)|The Immortal}} have been removed as criteria for {{achievement|Glory of the Raider (10 player)}} and {{achievement|Glory of the Raider (25 player)}} respectively, making it possible to complete the latter two again.

  +

  +
* <s>The title [[The Exalted]] is now awarded for earning exalted reputation with 50 factions, up from 45. The title has been removed from players who had it previously if they do not currently have 50 exalted factions.</s><br>This has been reversed on February 14, 2011.

== Description ==
 +
==Classes==
  +
===Hunter===
−
'''Surveying''' is the skill used to obtain [[Archaeology Fragment|archaeological fragments]]. These fragments are later combined to form [[Archaeology Rewards|archaeological artifacts]].
  
  +
* Only one target can be affected by [[Freezing Trap]] at a time
  +
* [[Steady Shot]] and [[Cobra Shot]] no longer cause the hunter to rotate to face the target. An error is still displayed if the target is behind the hunter.
   
  +
===Shaman===
−
Using this ability at a dig site will cause survey equipment known as a [[wikipedia:theodolite|theodolite]] to appear. It resembles a telescope on a tripod and points in direction of a nearby find. A coloured light indicates how far away the the find is.
  
  +
* The healing spells [[Healing Wave]], [[Healing Surge]], and [[Greater Healing Wave]] now have new water-based animations.
  +
* Casting [[Fire Elemental Totem]] and [[Earth Elemental Totem]] no longer causes a shared 2 min cooldown. They can now both be used at the same time.
   
  +
===Warlock===
−
<Gallery>
  
  +
* [[Devour Magic]] (felhunter) Cooldown increased to 15 seconds, up from 8, but down from 20 the patch notes indicate.

File:Survey equipment - Medium.jpg|Slowly blinking yellow: Between 50-100 yards away
  
−
File:Survey equipment - Nearby.jpg|Flashing green: Within 50 yards
  
−
</gallery>
  
   
  +
===Warrior===
−
If you survey withing 5 yards of the find, the find itself will appear.
  
  +
* [[Inner Rage]] Cooldown is 30 seconds, in contradiction to the patch notes.
   
  +
===Priest===
−
Each successful survey run will gain you:
  
  +
* [[Dispersion]] Casting while mounted will no longer dismount you.
−
* 3 archaeology fragments (2 at apprentice level)
  
  +
* [[Levitate]] It's no longer possible to "glide" along walls, without losing altitude.
−
* a chance of finding a [[keystone]]
  
   
−
== Notes ==
 +
==Dungeons & Raids==
  +
* The [[Dungeon Finder]] no longer states whether an instance is in progress.
  +
* The [[Raid Browser]] again properly displays available raids.
  +
===[[Bastion of Twilight]]===
  +
* A Summoning Stone has been added outside the entrance.
  +
===[[Deadmines]]===
  +
*[[Vanessa VanCleef]]
  +
** Although the third set of ropes has been removed, she still triggers an explosion as she dies. Move away from her to avoid death.
  +
===[[Halls of Origination]]===
  +
* Temple Fireshapers now consume (and consequently can run out of) mana casting Molten Barrier.
  +
===[[Lost City of the Tol'vir]]===
  +
* Players can no longer climb on [[Lockmaw]]'s statues.
  +
*[[Siamat]]
  +
** The [[Minion of Siamat|Minions of Siamat]] are no longer stationary.
  +
===[[Shadowfang Keep]]===
  +
* [[Commander Springvale]]
  +
** He now develops Separation Anxiety and increases damage by 200% if taken out of his room.
  +
** It is no longer possible to despawn his initial adds by aggroing them and immediately resetting the encounter (eg. through Feign Death).
  +
* A few [[trash mob]]s have been removed.
   
  +
===[[Stonecore]]===
−
The theodolite aim can be off by as much as 30 degrees{{fact}}. While that isn't much when the find is within 50 yards, it can be substantial at longer distances. Still, it serves as a good approximation.
  
  +
* If the second or third groups of trash mobs before [[Corborus]] are engaged, the first one will also engage if still alive.
  +
* A pack of trash before [[Ozruk]] (to his right) has been removed.
   
  +
===[[Vortex Pinnacle]]===
−
As a quick rule of thumb, a red light shows that mounting up will probably be worthwhile. You will probably want to run for about 5 seconds. You probably will want to stop short on a green light.
  
  +
*[[Asaad]] now drops [[Thundercall]] in both normal and Heroic flavors.
   
  +
==Items==
−
Survey results will only be gatherable for a few seconds before it disappears. If you are unsure you will be able to collect it immediately (because of interfering hostile mobs - or on PvP servers, hostile players), you will want to slay the mob (or discourage the player) before surveying. If players can stay in the same spot where the find appeared, survey again and it will reappear without counting against the total for that dig site.
  
  +
*The [[Abyssal Seahorse]] mount may now be used while a player is standing on the sea floor in Vashj'ir.
  +
*Argent tournament banners now all show the correct model again when used.
  +
*[[Captured Lightning]] has a new icon.
  +
*[[Conch of Thundering Waves]] has a new icon.
  +
*The buff from [[Faded Wizard Hat]] now disappears when removing the hat.
  +
*[[Mandala of Stirring Patterns]] will now proc off of [[HoT]] casts.
  +
*[[Rogue's Draught]] has a new icon.
  +
*The model for [[Cookie's Tenderizer (heroic)]] has become less funny and more menacing.
  +
*Some old-world [[Relic]]s are no longer class-specific.
  +
*Several relics had their icon changed.<!-- from what I noticed, non-Strength relics that had a Sigil (DK) icon -->
  +
*Druid Tier 11 Stormrider leg pieces changed from a tunic graphic (skirt) to leggings (pants).
  +
*[[Elementium Lockbox]] has been added to the game.
  +
*Looting Currency from bags now shows the amount of currency after the name when getting just one.
   
  +
==Professions==
−
If you survey at a dig site without exhausting it, then survey at a different dig site before returning to the first, the location of the next find at that first dig site will have been reset.
  
  +
All Profession Cooldowns with a 24 hour cooldown now state 'Cooldown resets at midnight' as opposed to a countdown.
  +
===Alchemy===
  +
* [[Transmute: Living Elements]] has changed for those who are a [[Transmutation Master]]. Instead of usually get no procs and sometimes getting a big proc of 14-16 of a random volatile, now you will always get a smaller number (4-8?) of an extra volatile. <ref>http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2046967734#13</ref>
  +
* [[Transmute: Pyrium Bar]] now only requires one [[Elementium Bar]], one [[Volatile Earth]], and produces 3 [[Pyrium Bar]].
  +
* [[Flask of Enhancement]] now lasts 2 hours, and can be refreshed without cancelling the buff first.
   
  ⚫
===Archaeology===
−
It is currently (early December 2010) possible for a find to be located within/on a wall steep enough that it cannot be reached from above or from below. In this case, reset the find location by going to a different dig site, digging and returning.
  
  +
* Survey cooldown reduced to 3 seconds, up from 5.
  +
* You can now solve projects while mounted.
  +
* Seven new Tol'Vir Dig Sites in Uldum added: [[Akhenet Fields]], [[Obelisk of the Stars]], [[Sakhet Wastes]], [[Schnottz's Landing]], [[Neferset City]], [[Cursed Landing]] and [[Lost City of the Tol'Vir]].
  +
* Four new Nerubian Dig Sites: [[Plaguewood]], [[Terrorweb Tunnel]], [[Pit of Fiends]], [[Sands of Nasam]]
  +
* It is now possible to walk through all unearthed archaeology finds.
  +
* On the Current Artifacts page, a fragment counter under each racial project currently worked on lists available fragments compared to fragments required. The race icons will also pulse as a visual cue when a current project can be solved.
  +
* The progression bar for research projects appears to have been accidently shifted to the left. Having all the fragments needed will not fill the progression bar.
   
  +
===Cooking===
−
There are also cases where the target location is outside the bounds you are allowed to use the Survey ability. For these cases, it may be possible to succeed by sidling along the boundary, surveying every few feet. If that does not work, or you lack the patience for it, you can also avoid this by going to another dig site and returning as above.
  
  +
* [[Recipe: Feathered Lure]] has been re-added to the appropriate recipe vendors in Stormwind and Orgrimmar.
  +
* [[Recipe: Scalding Murglesnout]] has been added.
   
  +
===Enchanting===
−
==Patches and hotfixes==
  
  +

−
{{Patch 4.0.6|note=(Undocumented) Cooldown reduced to 3 sec, down from 5.}}
  
−
{{Patched|date=2010-12-20|note=The search radius to find an Archaeology node from the Archaeology ability Survey has been increased. This will result in fewer searches needed while in the "green" range of surveying.}}
  
−
{{Patched|date=2010-12-14|note=Archaeology now gives 3-6 fragments per survey, up from 3 (2-4 or 3-5 at lower skill levels).}}

−

  +

  +
* Troggs which drop [[Bag of Verlok Miracle-Grow]] for [[Quest:Through Persistence]] now drop [[Sprinkle of Verlok Miracle-Grow]] if they don't drop the bag anyway. 5 of these sprinkes can be combined to form a full bag.
