Zarhym has just released some major Engineering changes for the upcoming Patch 3.2. These changes are a long time coming for those of the Engineering profession, and many folks will be quite pleased by them. There are 19 total changes that Zarhym announced – that’s quite a lot for any patch. Some of the ones that stand out include: Mind Amplification Dish – Head enchant, allows engineers to control other humans. Does not work in Arenas, sometimes reverses targets. Portable Wormhole Generator for Northrend – Allows the engineer to travel about Northrend Deep Space 9 style. Repair Bot Jeeves – A repair bot for the entire raid, who also allows bank access for 350+ engineers. Jeeves is not destroyed on use, and can be summoned once per hour. Schematic is apparently randomly hidden within another summonable bot. A Steam-Powered Auctioneer has been added to the Dalaran Like Clockwork engineering shop, allowing access to one’s faction Auction House. The Steam-Powered Auctioneer was programmed with a superiority chip, and will only interact with Grand Master

Even though Blizzard already said that they’d be introducing a whole new set (or sets) of tier gear, it’s still a little overwhelming to see information for Tier 9 gear considering that Tier 8-8.5 has only recently been unleashed with Patch 3.1 and Ulduar. Still, Patch 3.2 looks like some ways off and we can’t get too excited about the Call of the Crusade just yet. As soon as the PTR went live yesterday, Alex and Adam scrambled to put together a whopper gallery of Tier 9 gear which might’ve overwhelmed the whole lot of us who were all too eager to find out what goodies wow goldare in store with the new patch. While a lot of things can still change now until the patch goes live, we do know a few things. Check out the Tier 9 sets in the gallery below, which has been re-organized by class and spec (because we love you all that much), and let’s take a look at the Tier 9 sets after the jump. Gallery: Tier 9 Collected Sets For one thing, we know that the current models on the PTR are mere placeholders. Currently using a hodgepodge of Tier 8 sets and

Every Monday Scott Andrews contributes Officers’ Quarters, a column about the ins and outs of guild leadership. The last time I did an officers’ patch perspective, the numbers were reversed (2.3). In that column, I talked about mage tables, spell damage being added to healing gear, and the Horde finally getting Fear Ward. It was October of 2007. Yep, a lot has changed in the past two years of WoW! Patch 3.2 isn’t yet up on the PTRs, but it’s never too early to anticipate issues or plan for future success. Here are a few interesting changes to the game that might have an impact on guilds as we head into the late summer. 1 Raid, 4 Lockout Timers: That’s right, the Crusaders’ Coliseum will have four different versions with four different lockouts. The kneejerk reaction to this bit of news on the official forums (is there any other kind?) was generally not one of celebration. The most common complaint was, “Great. Now I have to farm the same five bosses four times a week.” Many players would balk at the thought of “have to”

We had a bit of a minor freakout when we heard that the Rusted and Ironbound protodrakes might be getting removed as rewards for the Ulduar meta achievements in Patch 3.2, and then even more of one when the slow trickle of information about 3.2 turned into a firehose. Bornakk mentioned the change initially with the caveat that it was their intention to remove the drakes eventually, but that he’d seek definite confirmation either way as to whether it was happening in 3.2 or not. There’s been no update about it in the past few weeks. Well, after a thorough reading of the 3.2 patch notes, I don’t see a single trace of anything saying the drakes are getting removed. At the risk of counting my protochickens before they hatch, I think we might be safe, given how fast 3.2 looks like it’s coming out. This is at least a relief for my guild, who’s doing pretty well on 10-man hard-mode progression but … is there a word worse than “dismal”? … on 25-man hard-modes. Maybe there’s hope for us yet. Should we get the soul-crushing

Welcome back to The Queue, WoW.com’s daily Q&A column where the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Alex Ziebart will be your host today. You know, I was getting bored of that whole musical intro thing, but having it around certainly made these preambles easier to write. What do you write here every day about a daily Q&A column? Guess what, guys! We’re A’ing more Qs! Shock! Awe! So you’ve broken me. Congratulations. I am now a hollow husk of a man that can do nothing but uphold the status quo. I hope you’re proud of yourselves. Here it goes again. WootZoot asked… “Any word on if Blizzard is working on a new novel or RPG book?” No word on any RPG books. I kind of have my doubts that we’ll see one during WoW’s lifetime, but I have nothing to back that up. It’s just a feeling. Novels? The next big one is going to be a book focused on Malfurion (probably titled Stormrage), likely timed for the next expansion like Arthas was for Wrath of the Lich King. It’s being written

Today’s comic list is full of surprises, including great artwork, plot development, hilarity, and one or two that didn’t really tickle my fancy this week. Perhaps if I were a bigger fan of tacos…. Cru’s parents deduce that he’s probably in trouble, and his father goes looking for his hammer. Dark Legacy Comics: Direction Dance. Experience Points: Too many addons leads to bad places. Check out the latest from Flintlocke vs. the Horde. Check out the latest from LFG. NoObz: Translatoxx is My Friend. I love that little robot.

Two Bosses Enter … but only One Boss Leaves, in WoW Insider’s series of fantasy death matches. This season’s bosses come from the five-man instances of Wrath of the Lich King. This week’s Two Bosses Enter is less boss-versus-boss than it is boss-versus-event: The Nexus’ Anomalus versus the Tribunal of Ages encounter in the Halls of Stone. The Tribunal of Ages event tasks adventurers with protecting Dwarven explorer Brann Bronzebeard from waves of mobs as part of the Halls of Stone quest — a boss-level encounter in terms of difficulty and loot, if not in actual boss-versus-boss combat. It’ll be Anomalus’ Chaotic Rifts and Crazed Mana-Wraiths against the Tribunal of Ages’ Kaddrak, Abedneum and Marnak plus the cadre of Dark Rune Protectors, Dark Rune Stormcallers and the Iron Golem Custodian. The ground rules: For the sake of this deathmatch, we’ll have to get a little (ok, a lot) creative with Anomalus’ presence here in the Tribunal. In this scenario, we’ll retain the basic mechanic of the Tribunal of Ages

It seems that Blizzard snuck this one in quietly with Patch 3.1 as not a lot of people noticed, but thanks to Saithir of angrydwarfs for pointing it out. Apparently, an NPC named Loremaster Skosiris appeared at the top of Scryer’s Tier in Shattrath tending to a new library of books. The NPC tends to a host of bookshelves that act as master trainers for primary and secondary professions, saying “Here I have amassed what may well be the greatest depository of lore in all of Outland. Even the grand libraries of Silvermoon City pale in comparison.” Skosiris also tells players, “please… look, read, browse to your heart’s content. You’ll find everything organized and clearly labeled.” Why is this so cool? Well, Skosiris is the name of the founder of everybody’s favorite World of Warcraft database, Wowhead. What can be a more fitting tribute than an NPC that manages, well, data! So that’s what the Scryers did with all those Arcane Tomes. Blizzard has given nods to the community in the past, most notably with the NPC Breanni,
