Next minor patch will bring some cool stuff

The more time passes by the more I see how “big” patch 3.1 was really supposed to be. We’re seeing more and more things that should have been released on that day it came out but including it would have meant postponing the release of the patch. Since we’ve been clamoring for Ulduar for so long, the patch had to be released with quite a bit of stuff that weren’t included and are only now slowly coming out.

According to CM Nethaera, the next minor patch will include two cool things – the much awaited Equipment Manager feature that was supposed to come out in patch 3.1 and a change to the Argent Tournament mount rewards.

The Equipment Manager is the missing piece to make switching specs using the dual specs feature seamless. Right now, your glyphs and action bars switch with your spec but that’s not enough. It could be that switching to another spec requires another set of gear and at this time changing your spec requires you to switch out your gear one by one unless you have an addon that does this. Equipment Manager will be the built in version of these addons and you should be able to change your gear without a problem as long as everything is in your bags or at the bank (you need to be at the bank to switch out items from the bank).

The same minor patch will also bring a change to the Argent Tournament mount rewards. If you already have one of these mounts, it will undergo a graphical improvement when the patch goes live. But then you can also get another mount for a cheaper cost that will have the looks of the ones that are currently available. So in short, after the patch you can get 2 mounts from the Argent Tournament. The cooler looking mount will cost 100 champion’s seals while the plainer ones will cost 5 champion’s seals and 500 gold.

I think these changes are pretty cool even if it’s just a minor patch!
