FISHING QUEST!
Check out what I got this morning as a reward for doing the daily fishing quest:
Eye of the Sea - +15 stamina, unique-equipped, Bind on Equip - this thing should be able to be sold on the Auction House!
The closest gem in the AH right now is a rare/blue gem with +12 stamina, and this Fishing Daily quest reward gem is the same as one of the epic/purple gems from the challenging 10-man raid instance Zul’Aman!
I can’t even find information on wowecon.com about the value of this gem yet, it’s so brand-spanking new.
I wonder if I’ll ever get that same reward on the same toon for the fishing daily, or if it’s a “get it once, that’s it bud!” setup?
I’ll be sure to let you know!

One of the small updates done in the most recent maintenance patch release was something I’m finding myself repeatedly happy with… enough that I’m thinking “I guess I should write about how happy I am!”
Mailing Delays Altered
The basic bit of what was altered is this:
Mailing between your own alts is instant for both cash and items now, whereas for the past few months at least, items mailed between alts have taken an hour to arrive, whereas gold was instant. When mailing players outside of your account, both cash and items take an hour to arrive. Presumably to give Blizzard some time to intercept unauthorized items and cash transfers.
The old setup was inconvenient for me as I organized my wares for the Auction House, having to mail bits and pieces of Professions materials amongst different toons in order to do it.
The old OLD setup, back when I started in December 2005, was that everything mailed instantly. I think it was altered to the aforementioned “old setup” as a way to reduce mailing pressures on the servers (I’m not sure how the pressures were reduced or if they were or if I heard wrong entirely!), before the servers were being upgraded for Burning Crusade’s launch.
At any rate, I like the way it is now, because it’s convenient. I feel a sense of joy when I realize I can hop over to that toon I just mailed professions materials to and get that crafting and Auction House listing done NOW instead of in an hour plus however many minutes or hours it takes me to remember to hop over.
I’m sure there’s a whole bunch of little improvements that came out with 2.1.3 that I haven’t hit because I’m “in family mode” and thus not playing a whole lot - which one is your favorite? :)
