WoW: Forever players are getting used to item balancing as the beta goes on, and the recent build is no different; several Common items that drop in starting zones are now being buffed to Uncommon quality.
The items mostly drop in Elwynn Forest and Dun Morogh, but some also drop in Tirisfal Glades - it's likely many more similar items will be adjusted in the future as well, so the Alliance-heavy drops will most likely be balanced. This should make killing some well-known mobs a little more lucrative for players, and will allow for early gearing to be ever so slightly easier.
