5.1 PTR: New PvP Faction Rewards and Quests
posted
2012/10/19 at 12:04 PM
by
perculia
The conflict between the Alliance and Horde is really heating up in 5.1. In the recent PTR patch, vendors were added in Krasarang Wilds that sell zone-specific PvP items, and we datamined a few more quest chains charting the story developments in this area.
(Edit: This article was updated 11/28 with finalized Commendation items and prices.)
To recap: there are new PvP hubs in Krasarang Wilds in 5.1 that have daily quests, charting the growing conflict between the Alliance and the Horde. Along with this, there are two new factions:
Operation: Shieldwall
and
Dominance Offensive
. Check out the
dailies for Operation: Shieldwall
, the
dailies for the Dominance Offensive
, and Wowhead's
visual preview

Krasarang Wilds PvP Rewards
As you quest in Krasarang's PvP areas, you'll loot commendations from enemy NPCs and players. These commendations are only acquired from looting--they are not quest rewards. Players can turn them into items that buff other pl

5.1 Epic Warlock Questline, LFR Open and Elegon Hotfixes

We've got some details to share with you about an epic
Warlock
-only quest chain datamined on the PTR, but first, some raid info!
The second half of
Mogu'shan Vaults
opens today on US servers. Here's some key facts to remember:
It requires ilvl 460 to queue up for both parts of the zone. All six LFR bosses have ilvl 476 loot.
The first LFR run for each segment rewards 0
Valor Points
. So by running both segments of LFR once, you could earn 0
Valor Points
per week. Rerunning a segment of LFR grants 5
Valor Points
.
You can run the same LFR multiple times per week and use
Elder Charm of Good Fortune
every time.
LFR segments for
Heart of Fear
and
Terrace of Endless Spring
won't be out until November--and they'll have a staggered release.
Check out our
raid preview
of
Mogu'shan Vaults
to learn about the new gear, boss mechanics, and armor models.
In addition, Heroic
Elegon

5.1 PTR: Brawler's Guild and New Krasarang Wilds PvP Hubs

Level 90 characters are working once again on the PTR, so we took a look at the new developments in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, and Krasarang Wilds. There's two major features that we found:
Brawler's Guild
and
Krasarang Wilds PvP Hubs
. From what we've seen, it looks like the Alliance is getting a lot of love when it comes to these new areas that show off combat and PvP skills--their areas show that they've rebounded from Theramore.
Krasarang Wilds: New PvP Hubs
A large part of 5.1 is about the Alliance and Horde conflict escalating to the point where they've set up military bases on the shores of Krasarang Wilds.
Two new reputations have been added as a result:
Operation: Shieldwall
for the Alliance and
Dominance Offensive
for the Horde.
The Alliance hub is located at
Lion's Landing
in the east, and the Horde hub is located at
Domination Point
to the far west.
Each base has objectives for the enemy team to capture like graveyards and towers, commissions to earn that can recruit guards to protect your new territory, and daily quests.
Controlling various areas rewards different buffs (and sorry, no f

New Pets
With the PTR up today, we found out more information on the six datamined pets from yesterday. While there seems to be an error logging onto level 90 characters, 85s from past PTRs can log on to find all of these pets automatically learned!
Cinder Kitten
was confirmed in the Pet Journal to be from the Blizzard Pet Store.
Darkmoon Hatchling
has been added to

Darkmoon Prize Ticket

Darkmoon Eye
is a drop from
Darkmoon Pet Supplies
, according to the Pet Battle Journal. Perhaps this is a reward for defeating the new Darkmoon Faire Pet Master.
Darkmoon Glowfly
is acquired by capturing it from pet battles on the Island.
Imperial Moth
and
Imperial Silkworm
are crafted by Tailors--it's a possible chance to make when doing your daily

cooldown. We datamined these two models over the summer and glad they're being used and that tailoring gets a nice vanity perk!

General
The Pandaren Campaign begins!
The conflict between the Horde and the Alliance has ignited a new series of daily quests along the shore of the
Krasarang Wilds
.
Players can visit their faction strongholds in the
Vale of Eternal Blossoms
to begin the quest to summon their war fleets to the continent of Pandaria. (Please note: The Alliance version of this quest is not yet complete, but will still unlock the new missions and features).
Players will both valiantly defend their faction’s outpost and assault the opposing faction's headquarters.
Two new Reputations have been added: Alliance players can earn reputation with
Operation: Shieldwall
, while Horde players will curry favor with the
Dominance Offensive Campaign
.
Players can slay rival NPCs and opposing faction players along the shore to earn commissions that can be spent to upgrade their faction's base.
Look for strategic objectives to capture, including graveyards and towers. Commissions can be spent to recruit guards that will help protect this captured territory!

by
perculia
5.0.4 is live today and we have an extensive guide to everything new! While there's no new raids or gear in this patch, many things will keep you busy. Class abilities, talent trees, and glyphs have been drastically changed, so it's good there's a month before Mists of Pandaria to familiarize yourself with the changes! If achievement-hunting is more your thing, all achievements are account-wide in 5.0.4, as well as many mounts, pets, and titles.
Below, you'll find consolidated versions of our 5.0.4 feature coverage, as well as patch notes, videos, class guides, and links to blue posts.
Patch Notes and Overview
The talent system received an extensive overhaul
: players get one talent every 15 levels now, for 6 maximum in MoP. Specialization and core class abilities have changed as well.
Prime glyphs are removed
and many new minor vanity glyphs are added.
Achievements are now account-wide
and some can even be completed across characters. In addition, many mounts, pets, and titles are account-wide as well.

Secondly, we've broken down all the new information in easy to digest tabs so you can check out he new goodies in Mists of Pandaria. We're hard at work pouring through all this great data. You can, of course,

We'll be playing the beta all morning and datamining some more information for you, so check back often!
Thousands of new items and spells--day one of datamining, including dozens of profession items.

We have our spell changes from the latest PTR build up. We've merged them with the past ones from last week, so you can see all the spell changes that are on the PTR so far. Besides the TCG items, there are no new items so far, but these are significant spell changes. The biggest are actually under NPC changes, where you can see Dragon Soul is in for some huge nerfs come 4.3.2.

Due to yesterday's downtime, we were a little slow on announcing our contest winners and getting the new PTR information out. However, we should make that up with some exciting news today that has to do with Sanctuary!
Diablo III
I have some awesome news that I've been holding in for a few weeks:
D3DB has joined the ZAM Network
! These guys were heavily inspired by Wowhead when they launched their database years ago and have become the best Diablo III resource around, so it's great to see it come full circle and get to team up with them in an official capacity. We'll be working closely with them as they are a fellow Blizzard fansite. (And it's Diablo III, I mean, do you know how awesome that is?)
Darkmoon Faire
On the WoW front, there were some difficulties this month with the Darkmoon Faire; dailies were not resetting, some monthly quests didn't either. Blizzard has patched it up, though, last night.
Make sure to check out our guide to how to get the most tickets
