@WarcraftDevs I'm a raid leader, and I built a Mage Tower to help my raid team get to raid. Did I just waste my gold? They can't use it?

@Quikzs Changed in 6.1 to require only 6/10 workshop items; less RNG getting the last few items to spawn, but randomness of spawns intended.

6.1 PTR Patch Notes: Updated January 29th

posted 18 hr 9 min ago by perculia

Changes in these notes:

Garrison Followers may now be upgraded to item level 675.

Follower Weaponry and Armor Set tokens (War Ravaged, Blackrock, Goredrenched) no longer drops from salvage. Weapon and Armor enhancement tokens that can upgrade a Follower's weapon or armor item levels will continue to have a chance to drop from Salvage Crates.

In the Trading post, Players trading Garrison Resources for tradeskill materials can now shift-click to specify the amount of items they want to purchase.

Trading Post Parts that drop in Ashran now have a chance to drop from all creatures and NPCs that drop Arifact Fragments, with an increased drop chance based on the quality of the creature or NPCs.

Death Knight: PvP 4-piece set bonus for Blood Death Knights now only applies Anti-Magic Shell to 1 additional ally within 15 yards (down from 2 allies).

Druid: Mangle damage increased by 27%.

Cosmetic transformation effects now have a higher priority than Druid combat forms.

Mage: Evanesce should now provide protection against many more effects, and function more consistently.

Mage: Deep Freeze's stun effect now always breaks on damage from Ice Lance or Ice Nova, but no longer has a chance to break from other damage sources.

Mage: Ice Nova (Frost) now roots the target instead of stunning them, but the root is no longer affected by diminishing returns.

Mage: Tier-17 4-piece bonus for Fire Mages is now approximately 0.7 procs per mintue (down from 1 procs per minute).

Monk: Chi Explosion (Mistweaver) healing while in Serpent Stance is increased by 40%, and is now usable while channeling Soothing Mist. Healing while in Crane Stance is reduced by 33.3%.

Monk: PvP 4-piece set bonus for Brewmaster Monks now only applies Guard to 1 additional ally within 15 yards (down from 2 allies).

Paladin: Empowered Seals (Protection, Retribution) has been improved. Liadrin's Righteousness now increases haste by 20% (up from 15%). Uther's Insight now heals the Paladin for 2% of maximum health every 3 seconds (up from 1% every 2 seconds).

Paladin: Glyph of Immediate Truth is now only available to Retribution Paladins.

Rogue: PvP 4-piece set bonus for Combat Rogues has been redesigned. Using Vanish instantly generates 5 combo points and the next Ambush, Eviscerate, Revealing Strike, or Sinister Strike will be a critical strike.

Shaman: Enhanced Chain Lightning now makes Earthquake instant cast, and increases the damage done by the next Earthquake by 300% when Chain Lightning or Lava Beam strikes 3 or more targets (instead of increasing Earthquake damage by 60% for each target struck).

Shaman: Tier-17 4-piece bonus for Elemental Shaman now requires the Shaman to consume 18 Lightning Shield charges to trigger (up from 15 charges).

Warrior: Tier-17 4-piece bonus for Arms Warriors now causes Colossus Smash to generate 20 rage (down from 30 Rage).

Cosmetic transformation effects now have a higher priority than Druid combat forms.

All rings, neck, cloak, and trinket items that can be acquired in Nagrand (A level 98+ zone) or later should now be better suited for the character's loot specialization. This means tanks should no longer receive items with no bonus Armor and healers should no longer receive items with no Spirit from quests or Personal loot mode for those item slots.

To retain and improve readability in rated PvP environments, cosmetic transformation effects are now suppressed for all classes inside a rated PvP environment (Arenas or Rated Battlegrounds).

Players in a raid group will once again no longer be eligible for quest credit, except for specially-designated Raid quests. We are continuing to explore ways of allowing players who want to engage in solo or small-group questing while in a raid group (for example, while waiting for a Highmaul raid to form, or in a Rated Battleground queue), without also allowing raid groups to trivially complete quests that were never designed with groups of that size in mind.

Characters can now select the version of the ring they want to receive when completing a step of the Legendary Ring Quest Line that provides an upgrade.

Khadgar has decided to dismiss his remarkably realistic mirror images from capital cities across the land. Adventurers answering his summons and seeking to enter Draenor may once again only find him near the Dark Portal in Blasted Lands.

Flask of Conquest has been added as a potential drop from Strongboxes awarded at the end of a Rated Battleground match. The flask increases Conquest Point gains from Arenas and Rated Battlegrounds by 25% for 2 hours and the effect persists through death. The flask does not affect the character's Conquest cap and the drop chance is in addition to the existing chance for Strongboxes to contain Conquest Points.

Moroes' Famous Polish now has a 30-minute cooldown (up from 10 minutes) to keep it consistent with our transformation cooldowns.

Fishing vendors on Draenor now sell a consumable item that enables automatic filleting of fish caught in Draenor.

Draenor fishing bait now lasts for 10 minutes (up from 5 minutes) to match the duration of fishing lures.

Piccolo of the Flaming Fire has been rebuilt into a Toybox item. Players can channel for 30 seconds to cause those around them to dance with a 5-minute cooldown.

Ruthers' Harness has been added to the Toybox.

Players can now access a new suite of colorblind filter options under Accessiblity settings in the Interface menu.

Premade Group leaders can now automatically accept applicants via a new "Auto Accept" checkbox after the group has been listed.

Improved the ordering for categories in the currency tab.

Popup notifications such as those for completing an achievement or receiving a reward after a Battleground match can now be dismissed by right-clicking on it.

Added an "Ignore this bag" option to Profession bags for bag clean up.

All multi-page windows now supports mousewheel scrolling.

6.1 PTR: Build 19533, New Mount, Blackrock Foundry Testing, January 27th Hotfixes

posted 2 days ago by perculia

teased an upcoming mount on TwitterMountClick here to see the latest items and more!Build Highlights

New achievements for collecting heirlooms, including Heirloom Hoarder which rewards the Chauffeured Chopper mount which is usable by lvl 1 players. The mount journal text, as seen on Summon Chauffeur, is "Why drive yourself around when you can hire someone to do it for you?" and Koak Hoburn is the driver! The 6.1 PTR notes stated that the mount would require all heirlooms collected, but Heirloom Hoarder is just for 35 which is a bit easier.

New achievements for collecting Music Tunes--20 tunes rewards the Portable Audiophone toy. Click here to listen to all of the new music.

Items used to reroll crafted stats are easier to make--the items required from Work Orders/daily cooldowns have been removed.

The fishing changes from the last build have been reverted, and Bladebone Hook has been added so you can auto-fillet everything at once.

New profession recipes allow you to craft reagents outside of their daily cooldown. These take a Primal Spirit and some incidental gathering materials:

Recipe: Spiritual Leathercraft	Primal Spirit, 10 Raw Beast Hide	Burnished Leather
Recipe: Primal Weaving	Primal Spirit, 10 Sumptuous Fur	Hexweave Cloth
Schematic: Primal Welding	Primal Spirit, 5 Blackrock Ore, 5 True Iron Ore	Gearspring Parts
Recipe: Riddle of Truesteel	Primal Spirit, 5 Blackrock Ore, 5 True Iron Ore	Truesteel Ingot
Recipe: Primal Alchemy	Primal Spirit, 2 Fireweed, 2 Gorgrond Flytrap, 2 Nagrand Arrowbloom, 2 Starflower, 2 Talador Orchid	Alchemical Catalyst
Formula: Temporal Binding	Primal Spirit, Luminous Shard	Fractured Temporal Crystal
Recipe: Primal Gemcutting	Primal Spirit, 5 Blackrock Ore, 5 True Iron Ore	Taladite Crystal
Technique: The Spirit of War	Primal Spirit, 4 Cerulean Pigment	War Paints

There are new daily quests in your Garrison's Town Hall and while most give quests to kill an elite or complete a dungeon, Jake the Fox has the option to purchase Recipe: Spiritual Leathercraft and Recipe: Powerful Burnished Essence for 60 Raw Beast Hide each, as well as Primal Spirits for 5 Raw Beast Hide. The next morning, an Herb Trader was there selling new Alchemy and Inscription recipes:

There are ilvl 675 missions with sizable rewards--however the follower ilvl cap still appears to be ilvl 670 in the spell data.
