What changed
The October 15 beta notes say vendor sell prices were reduced for many items made by professions. They do not name the affected crafts or give old and new prices, so the exact reach of the change is unclear.[1]
Check before crafting
For anyone making goods primarily to sell to a vendor, a lower sale value can affect the calculation. The notes do not show that any named recipe is now a loss; compare the current vendor price with the live cost of its inputs before producing in bulk.[1]
Other item notes
The same Items section corrects Spirit increases from Mystic Mushroom and the Insight enchant, adds a global cooldown to scroll use, and changes Draught of Predatory Senses into a Potion on the Combat Potion cooldown with a shorter duration.[1]
TL;DR
- The beta update reduces vendor sell prices for many profession-created items, without listing which items or their revised prices.[1]
- The notes do not establish that a particular recipe or crafting strategy has become unprofitable; check live prices and input costs before making items for vendor sales.[1]
