Today's update

[bellinghman]

So today, we see WoW 2.1. Roughly 385MB of update, with a details list longer than I've seen in absolutely ages.

ETA: I should clarify that, being 2.1, this is not a set of bugfixes - this is major extra content, the first since the release of Burning Crusade.

According to the patch notes, "Prospecting now always yields at least 1 gem". So you shouldn't be seeing any powder-only prospects. Coupled with the fact that you haven't seen a drastic change from pre-patch numbers of rare gems, I wonder if this is a change that didn't actually make it.

What's the vendor value of the uncommon gems now? It's supposed to drop to 25s.

Vendor value has reduced to 25s; it may be that I was just a little unlucky with the ore I prospected this morning.
