Patch 4.3 - PTR Build 14849 - Spell Changes, Darkmoon Faire Replica Items, and More
A new PTR patch is out; here are the spell differences, icons, maps, and more. Note that while many of the changes are in the
PTR patch notes
, some of them were not (such as Windwalk or Ambidexterity changes).
Latest Additions
Remember when they said Darkmoon Faire would, you know, bring back legacy items?
Well, they're back, baby: the original level 60 dungeon sets are making their return, both the blue and epic sets, such as
Replica Soulforge Breastplate
and
Replica Devout Gloves
.
Click here for a complete list of new (and returning) items!
There's also a whole slew of PvP gear, but most of it is available on the vendors right now, so we'll have to see if that means they moved its location. Still no word on tier 3 or season 3 gear, but I think there's a good chance it's coming.
And not to be outdone,
Elementium Gem Cluster
and
Shadowy Gem
make a show--undoubtedly for making the rogue legendary. (As well as
Spectral Mount Crate
for those ghostly mounts so many people didn't like.)

Patch 4.3 - PTR Build 14809 - Spell Changes, New Items, and More
There was a small patch last night. Nothing huge--just new maps for the 5-mans as well as some achievements for PvE encounters in 4.3. In any case, we also have a
new data push on the PTR site
so you can check out all the data we've acquired so far. A major thanks to everyone who uses the
Wowhead Client
as well during the PTR, it always helps us!
I'm tacking on some notable blue posts here as sort of a round up as well--heirlooms might be changing in the future and void storage pricing was changed considerably. Hopefully this stops some of the complaining we've seen about the prices!
Heirloom Mechanics
We would like to share an insight on the approach that is the philosophy behind the heirlooms at the moment. This is still something that may change, so please do not take it as set in stone.
In short, the developers agree that the process of mailing heirlooms around constantly is a little annoying. We'd prefer to try and work ourselves away from the method of mailing out BoA items in the future, like pets, mounts, etc. To that end, we have some desig

Patch 4.3 - PTR Build 14791 - Spell Changes, New Items, and More
There's a PTR patch that just hit, we're checking it out--might not be too big. Expect this page to be updated. For now enjoy the spell diffs.
Interesting Stuff
:
The strings we pulled show some hints to the maps for the new raid. The 5-mans have them as well, but those aren't as cool (and you've already seen the first 5-man which had the majority of 'em).
DUNGEON_FLOOR_DRAGONSOUL0 = "Dragonblight";
DUNGEON_FLOOR_DRAGONSOUL1 = "Maw of Unmaking";
DUNGEON_FLOOR_DRAGONSOUL2 = "Maw of Ruin";

DUNGEON_FLOOR_DRAGONSOUL5 = "Spine of Deathwing";
DUNGEON_FLOOR_DRAGONSOUL6 = "The Maelstrom";
Items
We've found

new items with today's patch including tons of new epic item level 378 gear! Some of these items currently feature placeholder names hinting at their sources, such as "Twilight Hour," "End Time," and "Eternity." In addition to all this epic gear, there's a handful of new weapons, too!

Patch 4.2 - PTR Build 14265 - New Items, Icons, Spell Changes
A tiny patch has just hit the PTRs! Blizzard might finally be running out of stuff to add, so we may see 4.2 as soon as
predicted
!
New Items
Not a whole lot of shiny new epics this patch, just some new epic-quality mail boots -
Decimation Treads
(and their Heroic counterpart,
Decimation Treads
).
New Companions
Two new companion pets have been added with this patch. We have absolutely no idea where these come from just yet, but they're pretty nifty!
Alliance Balloon
Horde Balloon
In addition, a new quest reward was added,
Leyara's Locket
, which is awarded upon completion of
The Rest is History
and is a vanity item that transforms you into a Druid of the Flame (
Leyara's Locket
)!
New Icons

Patch 4.2 - PTR Build 14241 - New Items and Spell Changes
There was a small patch on the PTR today -- and we mean
really
small. The only item added was a new staff to Ragnaros' loot table:
Sho'ravon, Greatstaff of Annihilation
. The new pet biscuits are also now
Kibler's Bits
which now make your pets bigger, presumably it works on vanity pets as well.
There were also a couple of spell changes that we've posted below for you to look over.

Patch 4.2 - PTR Build 14199 - New Items, Icon, Spell Changes
A new patch has just hit the Public Test Realms, bringing a handful of changes previously announced with the
patch notes update
a few days ago! Class changes are fairly boring, mostly tooltip changes for clarity, though there are a few spell changes here and there - nothing extremely surprising.
Latest Additions
Only a small handful of items, as well, including some new Firelands weapons (and their Heroic versions) and a new Leatherworking armor kit,
Drakehide Leg Armor
. Most importantly, however, is the addition of a new companion pet:
Murkablo
! This lil' guy is taught by
Murky's Little Soulstone
and is most likely this year's

pet.

Patch 4.2 - PTR Build 14179 - Spell Changes, New Items and More!
Blizzard has just released a new PTR patch, as a follow-up to yesterday's
major official patch notes update
. Just a few class changes and clarifications today, mostly already documented in the previous patch notes update - including spell details for the nerfed raid boss abilities. We're still digging in the patch data, so if we find any more interesting additions we'll be updating this post!
As for new items, Blizzard has added yet another
huge
batch of epic quality loots (over 250 new/updated items!), and finally started adding the actual item sets for the Tier 12 items, so you guys will be able to easily find and check out set bonuses and all that good stuff!

Patch 4.2 - PTR Build 14133 - New Items, Spell Changes and Icons!
Blizzard has snuck another late night patch onto the 4.2 PTRs! This latest update doesn't seem to feature very many interesting spell changes, as most seem to be simply tooltip clarifications and rewordings, but there's probably something I'm not noticing so you guys should definitely check 'em out! Pretty ho-hum new icons, as well, though the one labeled "fireravengodmount" definitely raises my eyebrow. Speaking of mounts, looks like PVP aficionados are going to get some love with the new
Vicious Gladiator's Twilight Drake

In addition, we've also got quite a handful of interesting new
epics

Tier 12 armor

Patch 4.2 - PTR Build 14107 - Achievements, Spell Changes, Items, and More
Another patch on the PTR just in time for Friday. There's tons of stuff, but the most important thing we have is that we think we've figured out the proc of
Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest
from our spells in our database.
This is purely speculation and is subject to change, so take it with a grain of salt, but I wouldn't be surprised if we're right.
It looks like you gain an aura (
Tarecgosa Legendary Aura
) and it duplicates your harmful spells sometimes:
Wrath of Tarecgosa
. Their damage appears as
Wrath of Tarecgosa
which is arcane damage.
Other notable finds
:
WoW's 7th anniversary might have a little more than just a vanity pet or a feat of strength:
WoW's 8th Anniversary
! You will most likely be able to change the appearance of your tabard so you aren't stuck wearing the same old one for its benefits.
Pet collectors are going to be very happy with 4.2 it looks like.
Menagerie
will introduce the return of
Magical Pet Biscuit
from the TCG. There will also be
Littlest Pet Shop
which will reward a new pet:
Nuts

Achievement hunters should be happy, too: from achievements for Zul'Aman that should have existed ([achi

Patch 4.2 - PTR Build 14040 - New Items, Spell Changes, Icons, and Maps
After an agonizingly slow Monday, Tuesday picks up the pace with another patch for the PTR. The legendary's stats are finally datamined, over fifty new items are in our database (including more tier previews), and we've got a lot of spell changes to show you as well.
Latest Additions
Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest
has appeared, sadly with hit rating and no proc yet (this is intended so we can't spoil ourselves too badly). It also looks like the legendary's other phases--
Branch of Nordrassil
and
Runestaff of Nordrassil
--are very nice items so the staff grows with you as you get into heroic progression like how
Shadow's Edge
was useful.
Avengers of Hyjal
is confirmed as a faction and has some rewards listed! Keep in mind it's likely that each class gets its own rewards and ones haven't been tied in for other roles than tanks.
Durable Flamewrath Greatcloak
Girdle of the Indomitable Flame
Stay of Execution
Adamantine Signet of the Avengers

Patch 4.2 - PTR Build 14002 - New Items, Spell Changes, Icons, and Maps
The PTR is finally starting to come up and we have a lot of information to post. There are over a thousand latest additions, dozens of new icons, two new maps, and even tier 12 pieces starting to be datamined.
Notable Finds
:
The legendary quest is being slowly revealed by the changes to our database. This looks like a very detailed quest chain, similar to the first caster staff legendary.
Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest
will be the feat of strength,
The Nexus
is part of the quest to create it, and it's likely that
Seething Cinder
x60 and
Heart of Flame
are what is collected to forge the staff.
There will be four new vanity pets:
Hyjal Bear Cub
,
Crimson Lasher
,
Feline Familiar
, and
Lil' Tarecgosa
. The last one will be the guild reward for completing the legendary.
A lot of profession recipes have been added, similar to the craftable ones from TBC days. Some are BoP and some are BoE.
Pattern: Clutches of Evil
,
Pattern: Don Tayo's Inferno Mittens
,
Plans: Eternal Elementium Handguards
, and
Pattern: Boots of the Black Flame

Patch 4.1 - PTR Build 13875 - Spell Changes and New Item
A small PTR patch update was just issued--it's just a confirmation of what
Tuesday's patch notes told us
essentially. Since this is a release candidate build of the patch as was the prior one, there were no major changes and you can expect the patch soon; hopefully it will be out by the end of the month or in the first weeks of May.
There is also a new item, probably from the fishing dailies:
Water-Filled Gills
. It can be opened and is blue quality.
Notable changes include:
Death Strike
now heals for 20% instead of 15% (this is a tooltip fix)
damage doubled (for cats only!)

Patch 4.1 - PTR Build 13812 - New Icons, Items, and Spell Changes

Patch 4.1 - PTR Build 13726 - Spell Changes
A new PTR patch has just been released, and with it came a few minor class changes and (mostly) a bunch of tooltip and typo fixes. Many of these class changes were previously announced with last week's

The only particularly notable change in this latest set of spell diffs:
Hunter
-
Multi-Shot
and
Distracting Shot
now have a 40 yard range, up from 35 yards.
Priest
- If the tooltip change is to be believed, it appears that the
buff duration has been removed. This means that
states will no longer expire after 1 minute and instead last indefinitely until cancelled or changed.
