Patch 7.1 Preview: Suramar Campaign Quests
The
Suramar story
continues in Patch 7.1 with a nine-week quest series culminating in the
Insurrection
achievement and the
Arcanist's Manasaber
mount. This quest series is open for testing on the 7.1 PTR so we played through the entire questline! If you want to experience the Nightborne story at your own pace, be warned there are general spoilers in here.
Guide to What's Coming in the Legion Pre-Expansion and PTR Patch Notes
This guide covers all the content and system updates coming in the Legion prepatch--before the expansion hits. Blizzard briefly posted the Legion Pre-Expansion Patch PTR notes to their blog--they are now removed, but still up in our
blue tracker
. So now seemed like a good time to highlight all the content that will be coming!
We do not know when the Legion prepatch will hit, but they are usually a few weeks before the expansion. This patch contains many system and UI changes for Legion--you just can’t access Legion content or level to 110. You can access things in the prepatch like the new wardrobe system, the 7.0 prelaunch event, and UI Improvements. At some point before Legion hits, there will be Early Access to Demon Hunters as well.
The prepatch also removes some Warlords of Draenor content, such as starting the legendary questline, finishing Warlords Challenge Modes, Brawler's Guild, and acquiring massive amounts of gold from the Garrison. We’ve
put together a guide
documenting everything that’s going away if you want to obtain some vanity gear and achievements before it’s too late!

Acquiring and Spending Valor on 6.2.3 PTR, Requests for Legion Q&A, Blizzard's Pumpkin Contest
Blizzard clarified on Twitter today that there will
not
be a hard weekly cap on acquiring
Valor
in 6.2.3. Do note that this is a
different currency
than the Valor Points in Mists of Pandaria which had a hard cap.
We've reviewed the ways to acquire and spend
Valor
on the PTR, including how many times you can run an activity per week. Do note that amounts are preliminary and subject to change.
Acquiring Valor
There are four ways to get
Valor
:
0
Valor
: First heroic Warlords dungeon of the day (
LFGDungeons - Draenor - Heroic Random - 1st
). Awards up to 0
Valor
per week if done daily.
0
Valor
: Completing each Mythic dungeon for the first time each week. Awards up to 0
Valor
per week if all eight are completed.
0
Valor
: Completing the weekly bonus quest (pets excluded).
0
Valor
: Completing a wing of Hellfire CItadel LFR (
LFGDungeons - Draenor 6.2 - Raid Finder - 1st
) for the first time a week, there are 5 wings total. 0
Valor
if all five wings are completed.
5
Valor
: Completing a wing of Highmaul or Foundry LFR (
LFGDungeons - Draenor - Raid Finder - 1st
) for the first time a week. There are 3 Highmaul wings and 4 Blackrock Foundry wings. 5
Valor
if all seven wings are completed.
The maximum you could acquire per week is 700 from Heroic Dungeons + 2400 from Mythic Dungeons + 500 from event + 750 from Hellfire LFR + 525 from Highmaul/Foundry LFR = 4875.
Wowhead Weekly #55: Wowhead Party, BlizzCon Merch Review, 6.2.3 PTR, Pepe; New Terky Murloc Pet
Edit: We've also added details on
Terky
, a new murloc pet players discovered in-game that you can get right now!
New Murloc Pet Available
Terky
is a new murloc pet players can get in game on
live servers
right now. We've previously noticed her in the data and
speculated on Terky's source in our 6.2.2 Battle Pet Post
, but she's been hidden until now.
Several users have reported today they've found the
White Murloc Egg
in a cave in Borean Tundra, in a marine cave at the Riplash Ruins. This egg hatches into
Terky
. Finding the cave is a bit difficult, so check the pet pages for more details and screenshots of the cave. Also be nice and don't stand on top of the egg once you've looted it!
This is a big deal because most murlocs in this style are currently unobtainable or very expensive to acquire. Formerly
Terky
was only available as part of an iCoke Taiwan promotion.
Wowhead Weekly
Wowhead Weekly is back with an extra-long episode covering all the news in the last two weeks. We've had some major events after a news lull, including the 6.2.3 PTR and Pepe Launch. For those of you interested in BlizzCon, we also revealed

and reviewed some of the
new BlizzCon merch
on our show!
We're also holding a giveaway for a Virtual Ticket on this post. We need help picking WoW-themed drinks for the bars at the Wowhead Party, so leave a comment by Monday, October 19th, Noon PST with your best name for a WoW drink! The best name will win a Virtual Ticket and you may see several others on our drink menu.
This giveaway is now closed, but we're giving away 10 more Virtual Tickets on our
Wowhead Party post
.

,
Commendation of the Wildhammer Clan
,
Commendation of the Guardians of Hyjal
,
Commendation of The Earthen Ring
,
Commendation of Therazane
Lots of Timewalking loot was added for the eight new Cataclysm dungeons--this scales up to ilvl 675 at 100, like the existing Timewarped loot. You'll find loot from

,
The Stonecore
,
Lost City of the Tol'vir

Dungeon and Raid Updates
New Mythic Dungeon trinkets, which scale to lvl 110 for Legion:
Judgment of the Naaru
,
Gronntooth War Horn
,
Orb of Voidsight
,
Infallible Tracking Charm
,
Purified Shard of the Third Moon
. These can be purchased from Savage Flaskataur on the PTR for testing. All of these trinkets have an extra bonus when fighting Demons.
Remnant of Chaos
: This is the item from Heroic or Mythic Archimonde that starts the quest for
Reins of the Grove Warden
.
Shadow of the Defiler
: This is the first quest in the series to go to Moonglade. "Consult the keepers of Moonglade to see if they can shed any light on the nature of the Remnant of Chaos."
More information:
For a limited time, defeating Archimonde on Heroic difficulty or higher will reward players with a mysterious fragment of dark power that begins a quest. When you bring this fragment to the druids of Moonglade, you’ll learn a little more about what’s in store for Azeroth, and the druids will give you a majestic Grove Warden mount in thanks for your efforts. This quest won’t be available forever—our current plan is to retire the quest in an update some time before Legion’s launch, so grab some friends and head to Hellfire Citadel while you can.
Reins of the Grove Warden
previously listed the In-Game Shop on the tooltip; it's been updated to reflect the Archimonde questline.
Valor Points
Valor
is back and it's treated as a separate currency from the Mists of Pandaria
Valor Points
. There is no weekly cap listed yet, and we know some of the ways to acquire Valor.
The rewards for completing a random dungeon on the 6.2.3 PTR include 100 Valor Points (
LFGDungeons - Draenor - Heroic Random - 1st
):
The reward for doing the weekly quest on the PTR is 500 Valor Points (
A Shattered Path Through Time

There are tracking quests related to running LFR that reward 150 Valor (
LFGDungeons - Draenor 6.2 - Raid Finder - 1st
) and 75 Valor (
LFGDungeons - Draenor - Raid Finder - 1st
).

472 wipes
. Mythic Archimonde drops
ilvl 735 loot

Felsteel Annihilator

6.2.1 PTR: Build 20328 Spell Changes, Booterangs and More
Build 20328 is the latest update for Patch 6.2.1 on the PTR, featuring
Draenor Pathfinder
and
PvP Mercenary mode
. Check out our earlier posts today on
Bastion of Shadows LFR
and
July 28th Hotfixes
.
Click here to see the latest database additions!
Build Highlights
New Achievement for Guild Realm First Mythic Archimonde:
Realm First! Archimonde
Most spell changes listed are simply tooltip updates for existing hotfixes. Visit the spell pages to see if they already have hotfixes listed or not to determine if the change is new.
Booterang
from
The Booterang: A Cure For The Common Worthless Peon
makes a reappearance:
Spike-Toed Booterang
New Mercenary PvP spell
Mercenary Shapeshift
Swift Spectral Rylak
appears to be a new "ghost mount" similar to the ghost gyphon.
The uninstanced version of Hellfire Citadel, which you can reach via flying in Tanaan, now has Felblood Orcs as well as the new rare
Fel Overseer Mudlump
.
Chief Overseer Mudlump
back in Shadowmoon Valley gave the quest
Overseeing and You: Making the Right Choices
to construct a
Booterang
, and the followup daily quest
The Booterang: A Cure For The Common Worthless Peon
to make your lazy peons work for
Netherwing
reputation. His Outland and Draenor versions are dressed identically, including the same whimsical hat and staff.
On the PTR, he's a rare with over 4 million HP with the
Booterang
ability, so it makes sense that he'd drop
Spike-Toed Booterang
.
This area rewards players who have flying with a little extra. We saw something similar last PTR build where players with flying could access special
rares in uninstanced Highmaul who dropped battle pets
.
Patch 6.2.1 PTR Notes, PvP Mercenary Mode
