, where you can see the issues they're aware of. This is updated daily. Do keep an eye on the

Upcoming Hotfixes
Character Undelete Soon
Honor Hotfix
Blizzard
We've just pushed a hotfix live that increases the amount of honor the winning team gains from winning a Skirmish based on how long the match took. It's still tuned so that faster wins are better -- we don't want people feeling the need to drag out a win for extra honor -- but Skirmishes should be a little more lucrative now.
We're also working on a hotfix that will increase Battleground honor gains, and will be keeping an eye on both BG's and Skirmishes afterward to make sure the rewards feel worthwhile. Once Warlords releases (and Strongboxes come into play), these changes will be reverted.

600k More Subs, Hotfixes and Patch Notes for Patch 6.0.2, Warlords Class Tuning Changes
posted
2014/10/13 at 8:09 PM
by
oliviadgrace
Blizzard has released the final patch notes for tomorrow's Patch 6.0.2: The Iron Tide! We can't do our usual TL;DR, as these are the final notes, and nothing is marked as changed.
We've also added in the latest round of beta class changes--these are hotfixes, and as such, cannot be datamined and visible on Wowhead tooltips just quite yet.
WoW now at 7.4 Million Subscribers
Blizzard published a
press release
today, detailing that WoW was at 7.4 million subscribers on September 30th. This 600,000 sub gain is no doubt an indication of the excitement at the end of a content drought. This is no doubt welcome news for Blizzard after the most recent
investor call had the game at 6.8 million
.
Legendary Cloak Still Required for Ordos in 6.0
Community Manager Rygarius has posted the following on the official forums:
Edit: Spoke too soon. The change below has been reverted. Eligibility for loot from defeating Ordos has not changed. It still requires one of the characters on an account license to have obtained the Legendary Cloak.
Access to Ordon Sanctuary or eligibility for loot from Ordos no longer requires players to have completed the Legendary Cloak questline.
Boosted Characters
Don't forget that newly boosted characters for 6.0 don't get all their abilities just yet. This is an excerpt from the patch notes which you can read in full below.:
Blizzard
Newly Boosted Characters now start on the front lines in the Blasted Lands, doing whatever they can to stop the Iron Horde pouring out of The Dark Portal and start with a basic set of spells and abilities for their class. Characters unlock the rest of their spells and abilities by advancing through the Iron Horde Incursion world event in the Blasted Lands.

Gearing Guide for the 6.0.2 Prepatch: Gearing up Quickly, Changed Gems, Enchants, and More
posted

by
perculia
With currency changes coming in the prepatch and an item level requirement for the special version of UBRS, we thought we’d put together a guide on some easy new ways to get gear. Since many gear details are changing as well, we’ve put in a refresher course on item changes relevant to the prepatch as well!
We also have a
guide to everything new in 6.0.2
, a look at the
special prepatch event
, and a guide to
removed content
--time is running out!
Gearing up Quickly
Justice and Valor Point Gear
As Valor Point and Justice Point items now cost a few hundred gold, this means you have many epic items available for purchase.
Epic ilvl 489 gear formerly cost Justice Points. If you have an ancient 90 that doesn’t have boosted gear, these are sold choices for all slots except weapons. Sold by
Commander Oxheart
in
Townlong Steppes
--click on the NPC to see all of the the items.
Epic ilvl 522
Shado-Pan Assault
gear formerly cost Valor points. While most of this gear requires Friendly, each boss gives 300 reputation and trash gives reputation too from Neutral to Friendly. Plus, you can buy the ilvl 522 neck at Neutral. All slots are covered except weapons, with Shoulders requiring Exalted and probably not that practical for gearing up quickly. Sold by
Ao Pye
in
Townlong Steppes
.
Transmog tip: a lot of old Cataclysm tier pieces that cost Justice Points are now available for gold--try out a new mog!

Patch 6.0.2: The Iron Tide
hits on Tuesday, October 14th with a special prelaunch event featuring the Iron Horde. Like the Mists of Pandaria prelaunch event, this features an instance with special armor and a new Blasted Lands questline that can only be completed for a few weeks.
You will need to complete the questline as a boosted character to unlock all of your abilities, and players receive ilvl 515 necks, capes, and rings as well as ilvl 520 trinkets from various quests.
Other rewards include ilvl 550 loot from a special level 90 version of UBRS and a battle pet and title from Blasted Lands quests. After November 13th, all of these rewards can no longer be obtained.

Blizzard
Patch 6.0.2: The Iron Tide
is scheduled to crash into Azeroth on Tuesday, October 14. Featuring new content heralding the Iron Horde incursion, updates to the skills and abilities for every class, and a host of gameplay adjustments, this overture to Warlords of Draenor is coming at you armed to the teeth.
Treacherous Developments
The Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands has turned blood red. Hundreds of strange-looking orcs are violently pouring into Azeroth, killing everything that stands in their path. Nethergarde and Okril’lon have already fallen, and while the Horde and the Alliance moved as quickly as they could to get reinforcements to their people, they are too late. The Iron Horde invasion has begun.
In this desperate hour, King Wrynn and Warchief Vol’jin have called upon their greatest champions to join the front lines in the Blasted Lands and do whatever they can to stop the Iron Horde . . . before the rest of Azeroth falls before them.
Word of this surprise attack sends players rushing to the Blasted Lands to reckon with the barbarous infiltration. After the fall of a high ranking Iron Horde general named Gar’mak Bladetwist, you’ll report what you’ve witnessed in the Blasted Lands to King Wrynn or Warchief Vol’jin. It’s apparent to both the Horde and the Alliance that this is only the first salvo in a much larger conflict, and the only way to win is to take the fight directly to the Iron Horde . . . by journeying through the Dark Portal into Draenor.
The Infiltration of Blackrock Spire
An advance party of Iron Horde forces has barged right out of the Blasted Lands and pushed all the way to Blackrock Mountain, where they found refuge and supplies in Upper Blackrock Spire. There can be only one response: the Alliance and the Horde of Azeroth must face this iron incursion head on.
Available to level-90 characters for a limited time, this specially revamped five-player version of Upper Blackrock Spire sets the stage for the coming counterstrike against the Iron Horde. Here, you will face Orebender Gor'ashan, Kyrak, and Commander Tharbek as you begin to take the fight to the enemy and sharpen the skills—and swords—you’ll need to succeed on an unwelcoming alien world.Prepare yourself. Draenor is waiting.

Racial Traits in 6.0, New Proving Grounds Achievements, Warlords McDonald's, Mistweaver Buff

by
Serrinn
In addition to our guide to Racial Traits in the Warlords of Draenor prepatch, we also have some interesting blue tweets and a very festive McDonald's!
Warlords of Draenor Racials
In the
Warlords of Draenor prepatch
, all races are getting updated racial bonuses. This guide takes a look at what is being changed in a few weeks! (The image is of the new Night Elf racial
Touch of Elune
.)
Due to hit and expertise being removed, all expertise-related racials are removed. Some races have gotten new bonuses, others have not.
Alliance
Dwarf
Changes:
Dwarves received two large changes, but Explorer and the reduced frost damage remain unchanged. The new racial Might of the Mountain increases crit strike bonus damage and healing by +2% and Stoneform has been buffed to include magic and curse but changed to only apply the damage reduction to physical damage.
Explorer
: You find additional fragments when looting archaeological finds and you can survey faster than normal archaeologists.
Frost Resistance
: Reduces Frost damage taken by 1%.
Might of the Mountain
: Critical strike bonus damage and healing increased by 2%.
Stoneform
: Removes all poison, disease, curse, magic, and bleed effects and reduces all physical damage taken by 10% for 8 sec.

Guide to Fishing in Warlords of Draenor

perculia
For our final Warlords of Draenor profession guide, we're covering
Fishing
! You can see the rest of our guides via our
Warlords of Draenor Professions Overview
article, covering Garrisons, epic gear, and crafting Draenor items at skill level 1!
Fishing
in Warlords has several major changes.
Draenor fish come in several sizes, and you can catch bigger fish with higher skill.
Draenor fish must be clicked to filet them for cooking reagents--you do not simply cook the fish.
In addition to pools, you can increase your chances of catching a particular fish with specific types of bait.
Fishing
is also elaborately tied to your Garrison--you can recruit Nat Pagle, fish up special reward fish for him, and buy cool items like
Reins of the Crimson Water Strider
.

profession guides
as well as
