Patch 3.0.8 (undocumented changes)

This article lists all undocumented changes for patch 3.0.8. All documented changes should be listed on the main article.
==General==
* The time needed to open chests and pick up quest items from the ground has been significantly reduced.
* The Blizzard Launcher received a new appearance.
* The number of Troll Roof Stalkers has been increased.
* Teleportation effects (at least with regards to outdoor Northrend areas) now cause a loading screen to appear, instead of just instantly moving you to the new location (with accompanying loading lag). This is true for hearthstones, and quest teleports like the K3 teleporter.
* Weapon skill points can no longer be gained from attacking mobs that are immune to combat.
* Performing a /kiss command on Mojo will no longer increase your buff size on a mount, but instead will dismount you and transform you into a frog.
* The racial restrictions was also lifted from the pre-Patch 1.4.0 epic mounts, instead of excluding these. This was likely a blanket approach to all mounts to save time, as including nor excluding the old mounts would change what races have them.
==NPCs==
The following are no longer tamable:
*Spirit of Koosu
*Spirit of Ha-Khalan
*Spirit of Atha
==Achievements==
*New achievements:
**The Fifth Element - Obtain an Aqual Quintessence (Feat of Strength).
**Lil' Game Hunter - Collect 75 unique companion pets, rewards Little Fawn's Salt Lick.
**Mountain o' Mounts - Obtain 100 mounts, rewards Red Dragonhawk Mount (Horde) or Blue Dragonhawk Mount (Alliance).
**Pest Control
**To All The Squirrels Who Shared My Life
**Vampire Hunter - Slew Prince Tenris Mirkblood and acquired his Vampiric Batling pet (Feat of Strength).
*Destruction Derby was changed, so it must be reacquired, for those who achieved it during Patch 3.0.3.
*Hail to the Chef is now obtainable, since The Northrend Gourmet no longer requires you to cook the nonexistent Shoveltusk Soup and Succulent Orca Stew, and three new recipes have been added.
*My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose (part of the Love is in the Air seasonal event) - Now roses only drop from bosses 
==PvP==
===Lake Wintergrasp===
* Tenacity effect has been lowered. Now improving your health, healing, and health regen by 18% (down from 25%) and increasing your damage dealt by 14% (down from 18%).
* Restricted Flight Area duration increased from 8 to 9 seconds.
* Rewards added for Wintergrasp Mark of Honor:
* has been fixed, as a consequence all players will need to re-earn it.
* Essence of Wintergrasp icon has been changed.
* Zone-wide buff, Tower Control, added when controlling the southern tower, increasing damage by 5%.
