7.2.5 PTR Build 24076 Data Highlights - New Legendary Rings and Chromie Scenario Armor
The latest 7.2.5 PTR build is on the way. We'll be posting anything interesting we find over the course of the afternoon! There are many class changes, including Vengeance Demon Hunter, and lots of Tier 19 and Tier 20 set bonus changes.
Looks like each class will get a new legendary ring in 7.2.5. Some of them were added this build. These appear to give you the effect of a certain talent and are not complete.

Darkmoon Faire (May 7-14): Reputation Buffs and Blight Boar Preview
The Darkmoon Faire is back in town from May 7th through May 14th. Wowhead's
Darkmoon Faire Guide
has all the details, but there is a more condensed version in kissashark's
Darkmoon Faire Made Easy Guide
as well.
The Darkmoon Faire offers valuable reputation buffs:
Darkmoon Top Hat
and
WHEE!
. These do not stack; each increases experience and reputation by 10% for an hour. Some good ways to use these buffs include
Armies of Legionfall
World Quests, Nether Disruptor World Boss, and
Legionfall War Supplies
turn-ins. You'll need six reputations at Revered for
Broken Isles Pathfinder, Part One
and then Revered with the new faction
Armies of Legionfall
for

in Part Two.

Demonic Inquisition Tomb of Sargeras Early Preview with FatbossTV
Tomb of Sargeras
, Legion's 4th raid, opens in Patch 7.2.5. In preparation for the upcoming raid,
FatbossTV
created early previews of all the upcoming bosses. Closer to the launch of Tomb of Sargeras,
Fatboss
will be creating in-depth video guides, as well as written raid strategy guides published on Wowhead.
The Demonic Inquisition,
Atrigan
and
Belac
, is the second boss in the Tomb of Sargeras raid. This is a single-phase encounter with two bosses that have a shared health pool. Throughout this encounter, you'll become more tormented, and you need to confess your sins by jumping into a cage behind the boss.

Upcoming Mythic Keystone Changes in Patch 7.2.5
Mythic Keystone dungeons will receive updates in Patch 7.2.5. The depletion mechanic will be removed for convenience, and Blizzard is restructuring rewards to encourage players to opt for higher-level Keystones instead of lower-level ones that present more of a challenge.
To that end, Blizzard will test removing extra chests at the end of speedy runs, but successfully beating the timer will always have a third item in the chest.
Edit: added clarifications as to the chest rewards.

Goroth Tomb of Sargeras Early Preview with FatbossTV
Tomb of Sargeras
, Legion's 4th raid, opens in Patch 7.2.5 in mid-to-late-June. In preparation for the upcoming raid,
FatbossTV
created early previews of all the bosses. Closer to the launch of Tomb of Sargeras,
Fatboss
will be creating in-depth video guides, as well as written raid strategy guides published on Wowhead.
Goroth
is the first boss in the Tomb of Sargeras raid, so mechanics are relatively simple and there is a single phase. The entire fight revolves around the raid having to use pillars that erupt from the ground to handle different abilities.

Warglaives of Azzinoth Transmog Clarifications, April 21 Hotfixes
Blizzard has clarified how to acquire the
Arsenal: The Warglaives of Azzinoth
transmog in Patch 7.2.5! Players must complete
I'll Hold These For You Until You Get Out
, which is to defeat Illidan in Black Temple Timewalking after acquiring the
Warglaives of Azzinoth
achievement.

Timewalking Lord Kazzak, Azuregos, and Green Dragons Preview

Timewalking Lord Kazzak, Azuregos, and Green Dragons in Patch 7.2.5
Players are very excited about Black Temple Timewalking, but some Timewalking World Bosses are also on the way! In Patch 7.2.5, there is a new daily quest,
The Originals
, to defeat Blasted Lands Lord Kazzak, Azuregos, and the four Green Dragons.
Long ago, great terrors walked our lands, and drove even the smallest to flights of heroism. I speak, of course, about Lord Kazzak, Azuregos, and the Dragons of Nightmare. Legends have it that so sought after were their treasures, that armies would camp overnight to hunt them down. We have felt disturbances in the timeways, coincidentally located where these giants once roamed. Would you mind investigating for us? Strange things happen during this time of year.
The wording implies this quest is not available year-round. Perhaps this is available only during WoW's anniversary? It would be a fun bit of nostalgia and the quest rewards the same amount of badges as last year's anniversary quest,
A Time to Reflect

Chromie Questline in Patch 7.2.5 - Early Dialogue Preview
In Patch 7.2.5, we'll go on an epic questline with Chromie! Blizzard's
early 7.2.5 notes
describe this as "An epic, time-twisting questline involving everyone’s favorite walking paradox: Chromie!"
We've pieced together an early look at this questline through datamined dialogue and there are some interesting lore tidbits! If you're not familiar with Chromie, she is the bronze dragon Chronormu in female gnome form. She's found as a quest giver and member of the Timewalkers in many expansions, but her most memorable appearances are in the
Mystery of the Infinite
questseries with "Future You" and "Past You" and the touching
The Battle of Darrowshire
questline which starts with
Little Pamela
.
Note that this is an early datamined preview and is not complete or final. We will do an in-depth preview when the questline is open for testing on the 7.2.5 PTR. As this is a PTR quest preview, there may be general story spoilers.
Deadmines Pet Battle Dungeon Preview
The second Pet Battle Dungeon has been introduced on the Patch 7.2.5 PTR, this time it's
The Deadmines
! Everyone's favourite Defias pirate-infested instance is also home to parrots, rats, and other pets! This dungeon has 9 fights, as opposed to the Wailing Caverns' 11 and has a challenge mode as well (
Pet Battle Challenge: Deadmines
). This also has a strange continuation to the Shadow Figure dialogue from the Wailing Caverns Pet Battle Dungeon. Just what are these Shadowy Figures up to?!
Currently on the PTR, you must have completed the Wailing Caverns Pet Battle Dungeon on Normal in order to accept the Deadmines quest. To start out, head to see
Breanni
at the Pet Shop in Dalaran. She will give you the quest
Deadmines, Part Three?
which sends you off to Westfall to find
Marcus "Bagman" Brown
who is behind the stable next to the Deadmines entrance. He offers you the quest
The Deadmines Strike Back
. Speaking to him will start the Pet Battle Dungeon!
