Here is a list of changes to the World of Warcraft that was not inluded in every player's automatic update. Please look them over, they might effect you or your upcoming gameplay!

-Nefarian's reset should now consistently be 15 minutes regardless of what phase your raid may have wiped out on.
-The High Priests, High Priestesses, and Jin'do the Hexxer will now drop their epic items more often. Some of the rarest items from Zul'Gurub such as the Warblade of the Hakkari and Zulian Swift Tiger can now also be found a bit more frequently.
-Zul'Gurub coin and bijou drops were increased
-The stats on the Tier 1 Mage and Warlock sets (Arcanist and Felheart) have been changed.
-You now have to be out of combat to open a chest.

Update: According to QA and internal tests, the stranglethorn arena chest was not flagged with the "not in combat flag", so it should be fine. If your experiences prove otherwise, please post in the Bug Reporting forum, so we can attempt to reproduce the report.
