Undocumented changes to Patch 3.3

After each patch (especially if it is a content patch) a series of changes usually appear that have not been included in the Patch notes. Although there were some changes that we already collected in the Great Guide to Patch 3.3, Proenix on the official World of Warcraft forums, you have collected them in this thread.

I find it very interesting because it also clarifies the doubts about the battered grip that starts the chain of missions to obtain Quel'dalar or his other weapons.

Another issue that causes strangeness is the issue of reputations in dungeons without having a tabard, which is also specified.

If you find something, don't hesitate to add it!

Edito: Proenix has contacted us as they have updated the thread. Now this article collects all the information that appears in the original thread.
