			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we often speculated, since epic gems are coming in the next patch, they&#8217;re going to be buffing the professions to keep them in-line with the new benefits blacksmithing will be getting (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/15/17779501837-upcoming-epic-gems-and-profession-changes.html">Blue post</a>, <a href="http://www.wow.com/2009/06/16/epic-gems-and-profession-changes-in-patch-3-2/">WowInsider coverage</a>).</p>

<p>Mostly it&#8217;s just minor stat buffs.  The weirdest change is alchemy which is losing its arena-usable healing or mana potion and gaining an arena-usable 1 hour flask (hopefully the mats are easy) which only works for alchemists and increases your spellpower, ap, or strength.  Yay farming?</p>

<p><strong><span class="caps">EDIT</span>: Nevermind, the new flask is not consumable, I&#8217;m bad.</strong></p>

<p>Also the availability of <a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/1/17631614834-32--new-heirlooms.html">new heirloom chests</a> from the Argent Tournament means I guess I&#8217;ll have to start doing those awful dailies on at least one character.  Yay farming?</p>

<p>Sidenote: if you&#8217;ve been selling your JC tokens now is probably a good time to start saving, since they&#8217;re going to be used to buy the new patterns.  They haven&#8217;t said how many you&#8217;ll need but I&#8217;m guessing it&#8217;ll be at least as many as the current meta patterns.  Yay farming?</p>

<p>(and they&#8217;re buffing pyro rocket damage, wheee)</p>]]></content:encoded>
