Before the Storm Patch

Today we patch 2.0.1, "Before the Storm."

Here is the link to the post of Patchy Convenience with mirrors, realm status links, etc...

Selected Patch Notes:

General:

• When casting a buff on a low level target, the appropriate rank of the buff will automatically be applied."

Items:

• Spells can now require either a totem item or a totem category item to cast a spell. This means that the Enchanting Rods now count as all of the lower level enchanting rods as well, so you only need a single enchanting rod instead of all six. This also means that "Finkle's Skinner" now counts as a Skinning Knife. Several weapons that are picks have been flagged as counting as a Mining pick as well.
• Thrown weapon items no longer stack, but use durability instead. One unit of durability is lost per throw, and these items can be repaired.

Professions:

• All of the profession-made items that have been created up to now have been given proper stats based on the current expansion item level progression table.

• Most of the items made by Tailoring/Leatherworking/Blacksmithing have had their creation time reduced. Now the cap on time required to make an item in those professions is based on quality and level.
  New Max times required:
  

  Level 31+ Green Items	at least 8 sec
  Level 31+ Blue Items	at least 15 sec
  Level 31+ Purple Items	at least 25 sec



• Skill level now determines what items you can disenchant.
  

  Skill 1	Level 1-20
  Skill 25	Level 20-25
  Skill 50	Level 25-30
  Skill 75	Level 30-35
  Skill 100	Level 35-40
  Skill 125	Level 40-45
  Skill 150	Level 45-50
  Skill 175	Level 50-55
  Skill 200	Level 55-60
  Skill 225	Level 60-65

Interface:

• Enchanting UI has been vastly improved.
• Auto-loot may be enabled with just one click in the Interface Options.
• Character sheet UI now displays more precise melee, ranged, and spell stats.
• Semi-charged items can no longer be placed in the Auction House.
• Keyrings have been expanded to hold more key-type items and will now size dynamically for the number of keys in possession.

Bugs:

• Bags will no longer overlap the Bank UI when the game window is resized.
