The Public Test Realm 1.0.7 patch notes are up: Public Test Realm -- Patch 1.0.7 Notes

Looks like Frostillicus will be getting a big boost to her Blizzard skill:

Blizzard
Weapon damage increased from 210% to 510% over 6 seconds

The new gem quality looks insanely overpriced to make:

A new tier of account-bound gems of has been added to the game: Marquise

These gems can only be created at the Jeweler and will require the following reagents:
3 Radiant Star Gems
20 million gold
1 Demonic Essence

Un-socketing Marquise gems will cost 5 million gold

I don't see ever making these as the tier right below that, Radiant Star, only costs 400K gold to make and I'd rather spend the gold to make 50 of those than one Marquise.

The new crafted recipes for iLevel 63, 6 mod rares looks like it will be pretty easy to get as they will have a 50% chance to drop off a non-act end boss at 5 NV. No indication on what they will cost to craft though.

Anyway, lots of good stuff coming.

From a post on the Public Test Realm (PTR) forums:

Posted by Chillaxin:

I'm just using the gloves for example, but I assure you all recipes have a high cost for an extremely low chance of being usable.

New crafted gloves:
50 Exquisite essences = 75,000+g
5 Tomes of secrets = 15,000+g
1 Demonic Essence = Free and easy to get lots of extras.
25,000g
= 115,000g for an extreme gamble for something that only has a chance to be usable.

That seems pretty inexpensive to me.
