Concerned the new Piccolo is going to be another annoying item that interrupts eating/drinking, confirm it won't?

We've changed the way the item works specifically to avoid that. It will not interrupt eating or drinking.

New Year's Eve in Azeroth and Wowhead's 2014 Year in Review
posted
2014/12/31 at 12:55 PM
by
perculia
It's time once again for Azeroth to celebrate New Year's Eve with a nice
Filled Festive Mug
and fireworks--catch them at the top of the hour in major cities and Booty Bay, but
try
not to drunkenly PvP in Booty Bay since the guards are asleep.
Don't forget to /dance back at the Revelers to get
Celebrate Good Times!
, which increases all stats by 10% for 30 minutes. Drinking
Filled Festive Mug
also gives you a neat slowfall effect--
Lightheaded
.
Whether you're relaxing in-game or heading out to celebrate, have a Happy New Year!
Wowhead's 2014 Year in Review
It's hard to believe that for most of 2014, we were all farming Siege of Orgrimmar instead of building our garrisons and exploring Draenor. However, even when things seemed routine in game, the Wowhead staff stayed busy with new features, fixes, and guides. While we won't bore you with all the bug fixes and custom data tweaks, here's a list of the site's most interesting new features, guides, and contests in the past year! You can check out the
What's New
section for a more detailed list of additions.

Guide to Getting the ilvl Requirements for Heroic Dungeons (610) and Molten Core/Highmaul LFR (615)
posted
2014/11/19 at 1:26 PM
by
perculia
This guide covers how to hit your ilvl 610 requirement for Heroic Dungeons, the ilvl 615 requirement for Molten Core, and the ilvl 615 requirement for Highmaul LFR. It focuses mostly on gear in the ilvl 610-630 range that you can easily get close to the launch of Warlords of Draenor, such as rare spawns, questing, Normal Dungeons, and
Apexis Crystal
gear.
Gear that you can get a little bit later or with more effort, such as Challenge Mode items, fully upgraded crafted gear, Normal Highmaul loot, or loot from ilvl follower missions will not be covered in great detail. For those sources and more, check out our general

Wowhead Class and Boosted 90 Prepatch Guides, Blizzard Video Guides, October 20th Hotfixes

Warlords of Draenor Class Guides
On Patch 6.0.2's launch, we released a series of
updated role guides
geared towards boosted or beginner players. With today's Video Guide update, we thought it would be a good time to highlight them again.
These guides are written by well-known theorycrafters and bloggers, with information on key abilities, stat priorities, utility spells, talents, glyphs, and more.
As many classes will have a different playstyle at 100 due to additional perks and talents, we've released these guides with their level 100 information so you can see how everything fits together. If something feels off with your class in the prepatch, it may be solved at 100 with additional mechanics.
The guides contain valuable prepatch information, including a summary of what's changed in the prepatch and enchanting/gem info at level 90, since you can't access the Warlords versions just quite yet.

Death Knight:
DPS (Frost/Unholy)
and
Blood
Druid:

So. Many. Pets.
and
Mountacular

Introducing Battle.net OAuth Login on Wowhead and Hearthhead
posted
2014/08/21 at 2:42 PM
by
perculia
Today we're proud to announce a new site feature and partnership with Blizzard--
Battle.net OAuth Log-in
. This means that you can use your Battle.net account to log on to Wowhead and Hearthhead.
What are the benefits to attaching your Battle.net account to your Wowhead account?
Logging in with your Battle.net account is as simple as clicking a button, instead of entering a User Name and Password.
All of your Battle.net characters are automatically Verified when you look them up on Wowhead's Profiler--perfect for
Beta Key Giveaways
.
All of your Battle.net characters show up under "My Profiles" automatically in the "Import" submenu.
Profiles now have the option to be public or private.
"Pinning" a character (clicking on the heart) brings up your character's avatar next to your user name.
A new site achievement!

Site Updates to Item Data, Tooltips, and More; Significant Weekend Tweets
posted
2014/07/05 at 6:30 PM
by
oliviadgrace
We've got another round of site updates to share with you today! We've added information about legacy achievements and exclusive glyphs to the database, as well as new item bonus information based on Blizzard's sweeping data changes for 6.0.
To see other recent developments on Wowhead, check out our
What's New
page.
Item Data Changes in Warlords
Items in Warlords of Draenor are receiving a lot of internal changes that we have to adapt to here at Wowhead. Our goal is to have our users think that nothing has changed when using our database and tools, but we're quite busy behind-the-scenes.
Instead of each version of an item being linked to a unique item ID, all versions are consolidated into one item ID in Warlords of Draenor. An item can now have a number of bonuses applied--ranging from a Raid Difficulty to a gem socket. So in 6.0, there will be one item ID associated with all versions of a Siege of Orgrimmar item, like
Korven's Crimson Crescent
.
Warlords of Draenor and 6.0 items now display item bonuses on their Wowhead pages. Here's some examples of items with bonuses:
6.0 Siege of Orgrimmar items
like
Korven's Crimson Crescent
now have raid difficulty and Warforged bonuses. All of our comments and screenshots will be consolidated and moved over to these new pages in 6.0 to reduce database clutter.
Warlords of Draenor quest items
like
Frostwolf Hunting Crossbow
now display uncommon, rare, and epic versions. When completing a Draenor quest, the reward has a low chance to be rare or epic.
Warlords of Draenor dungeon items
like
Robes of Swirling Light
now display a Heroic option as well as bonuses that modify the required level and item level. We're not sure what purpose these later options serve--perhaps different versions drop in various instances?
When you select a bonus, the item's URL is modified so you can link that exact version of an item elsewhere, instead of the base version that could have quite different stats. For example, when you select "Mythic Warforged" on
Korven's Crimson Crescent
, the URL is changed to
http://wod.wowhead.com/item=112920&bonus=448:450
.
Tooltips for all bonuses will be coming soon, as well as refinements to our tools that require specific versions of an item.
Check out our
Guide to Item Changes in Warlords of Draenor
to learn about more gear developments.
