posted
2015/01/28 at 1:23 PM
by
perculia
The Butcher
is one of the three optional bosses in
Highmaul
. He is a very big dps check and we recommend that you collect as many items for your raid as possible before attempting him. It's recommended to do him as your 6th Mythic boss.
This is a Mythic guide explaining the abilities, how to deal with
The Butcher
, raid setup and roles, and class specific tips by various Method players as well!
As announced in December,
Method is working with Wowhead
to provide Mythic raiding guides for all the bosses in
Highmaul
and
Blackrock Foundry
. Their other Highmaul guides are:
Mythic Kargath Bladefist
Mythic Twin Ogron
Mythic Brackenspore
Mythic Tectus

6.1 PTR: Build 19533, New Mount, Blackrock Foundry Testing, January 27th Hotfixes
posted
2015/01/27 at 2:57 PM
by
perculia
Blizzard has
teased an upcoming mount on Twitter
. No further details, but there is the datamined placeholder
Mystic Runesaber
we're keeping an eye on.
We also have information on the latest PTR build which includes many spell changes described in the patch notes, details on upcoming Blackrock Foundry testing, as well as January 27th hotfixes.
Click 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

Raw Beast Hide
Burnished Leather
Pattern: Primal Weaving

has the option to purchase
Recipe: Spiritual Leathercraft
and
Recipe: Powerful Burnished Essence
for 60

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.

posted
2015/01/23 at 3:49 PM
by
perculia
While the new blood elf models are the highlight of this 6.1 PTR build, there are several other developments we tested when the realms came back up. We snapped some pictures with
S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera
, built the jukebox in game and previewed all the sound tracks, and found a tribute to the 2014 BlizzCon Costume Contest winner,
Grand Empress Pydarter
.

S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera
Photos
We completed
Field Photography
on the 6.1 PTR today and received the basic
S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera
. This is a mission with a 100% chance of success, and it's not rare, so it may be fairly easy to obtain!
When
S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera
is clicked on, it opens a special camera mode. Your character makes faces at the camera, just like an IRL selfie, with their arm extending off the screen.

Garrison Campaign and January 21st Hotfixes, Thisalee Crow and Choluna Clarification
posted
2015/01/21 at 9:05 PM
by
perculia
Garrison Campaign Hotfix
A hotfix will be applied in the next scheduled maintenance that aims to fix characters who are "stuck" on Garrison Campaigns
They *are* trying though. I've never even sent a ticket, only posted here on the forums and a GM has logged into my toon several times so far. It isn't that they aren't trying. I think the issue is the bug isn't happening to everyone - so it's hard to track what's causing it(could be more then 1 'trigger' even).
Folks like you, Xiata, were part of the reason why we've been making progress so thank you for letting us take a peek at your character!
Please blizz fix this!
That's exactly what we're doing and I can now report we have a hotfix that's in the pipe and is designed address the issue. It looks like some of you have already picked it up, but for those that have not, hang in there until the next scheduled maintenance when it can be fully applied to the game. Why some have been able to move on and others have not, well, that's above my pay grade but as you can see, we're on it. =)
Appreciate everybody's patience!!
New PTR Build Incoming
Blizzard QA has also tweeted that there is a new PTR build coming today. There has also been some speculation on what class changes to expect in this build:
January 21st hotfixes are here, scroll down for the full list!
Thisalee Crow / Choluna
and
Thisalee Crow / Choluna
Thisalee Crow / Choluna
(Alliance) or
Thisalee Crow / Choluna
(Horde) are now awarded when completing
Primal Fury
for the Garrison campaign.
