Jigglesworth, Sr., aka Jellycat
Complete all of the Shadowlands raid bosses on Normal or higher Fated difficulty to get Fates of the Shadowlands Raids and this unique mount. If you complete all the bosses on Heroic or higher Fated difficulty you will get Heroic: Fates of the Shadowlands Raids and the title. The same on Mythic Fated difficulty will get you Mythic: Fates of the Shadowlands Raids and a set of Shadowlands Raid Teleports. Now is the time to pick up those missing bosses.

This mount is a 100% drop form defeating the Jailer in Heroic Sepulcher of the First ones. Once Dragonflight launches it will no longer be available, not even on a low drop chance. Get your Heroic Jailer kill now.

Will we have less talents points to spend on level 60 than level 70 ?
Using the talent calculators on Beta always left me with 5-6 more points to spend.

Comment by Zespri92

When is Chromietime getting an update? Currently its 1-50 but with prepatch it should be 1-60.

Comment by fureeous

The additional bag space comes from a new bag slot which is limited to the new Dragonflight reagent bags.

Normal bags and (at least on the PTR) existing profession bags cannot be used in this slot so as far as I am aware we won't be able to use the new slot until the new Dragonflight reagent bags become available after the expansion launch.

Comment by Kanexxi

will this still happen for people that did not pre-order DF? Phase one changes or will it stay the same until ordered?

Comment by labhaoise

Do we know when the Winds of Experience is ending?

Comment by Not2Sexy

Do you have to purchase DF?

Comment by evilpotato31

Did they remove the ability to change your title or just move it?

Comment by Tesriel

Am I the only one that's a little sad they killed the Tauren Rogue meme?

Comment by Fantails24

Any one know why the call pet spell doesn't allow me to choose which pet to call? I can do it thru the spell book but not the toolbar.

Comment by twistedsista

There also appears to be no way to move the Quest Tracker - not even with the latest version of ElvUI anymore (I've looked in options - nothing) so evidently you're stuck with quest items getting tangled up with items on any action bars you've got on the right hand side. Typical Activision mess, but nothing we're not accustomed to by now.

A bit disappointed in ElvUI for not overriding Activision's unprofessionalism but perhaps they're waiting to see what other cockups are yet to surface before they tackle remedies. They shouldn't have to, really. Their system was perfect until this xpac.

Just found it - moving the quest tracker is in the Edit Option of the Game Menu.

this statement " Our new Devastation Evoker guides are researched and written with the 'quality and detail' that you can expect from all of our class guides." almost made fall out of my chair laughing.

Comment by Kyunei

Well that is a hell of a lot of customization, so its nice to see they learned from the allied races failure... but uh, how about some of that same effort to all existing ones? A few are still pretty bare bones minimal.

Comment by Uddk

How in the heck do you get quests to auto track? AND why, every time there is a patch, you have to break all my add ons and I have to wait for the developer to fix them before I can use them? And whoever had the bright idea to change the talent trees need to be fired! Sure, add new content, add more things to do but don't break things that already work fine!

Comment by MythicRaidRMTBoo

252 should not be considered "catch up" gear. It's lower level than fated LFR. Absolutely pathetic, and expected.

Comment by Scovron

Do we know if mission tables and callings are getting nerfed (gold-wise, mainly)?

Comment by MetalCaterpixie

Glad to see Blizz made it so you can't carry more than 10 motes of primal energy at a time so you can waste your time flying back and forth just to hand in the *!@#$%ed quest before you can collect more.
