Patch 5.4 is a week away, so today we're taking a look at things you can do to prepare for the patch--from saving your
Очки доблести
to finishing up Battlefield Barrens! Next week we will publish our Patch 5.4 guide to all the new content, but for now we're just focusing on the changes that can impact how you play the week before.
Olivia from Talk Azeroth covers everything you can do to prepare this week in her most recent show as well:
Existing Gear Changes
In Patch 5.4, all reputation gear tied to MoP factions (except for
Натиск Шадо-Пан
) will cost
Очки справедливости
instead of
Очки доблести
and the reputation requirements will be lifted--so if you hate grinding reps and are short on VP, just wait a week to buy those items.
Натиск Шадо-Пан
gear will still cost
Очки доблести
in 5.4, but heavily discounted, so it's probably best to wait and buy those items when the patch hits. Shoulders are unaffected, as they cost gold.
Item upgrades aren't going away in 5.4--if you're not sure what to do this week, upgrade your best pieces with Valor this week, and buy the cheaper
Натиск Шадо-Пан
upgrades next week.
Patch 5.4 also introduces
ilvl 496 BoA gear
on the
Вневременный остров
. While you can't usually control what slot and armor type you'll get a token for, this gear is of a higher item level than the epics which formerly required reputation. Unlike past random-stat items, these epics come with chest, leg, and helm sockets. So hold off on buying some BoEs this week to boost your alt's item level, and send them some Timeless tokens next week.
Once raiding
Осада Оргриммара
you will get ilvl 528 from LFR, 540 Flex, 553 Normal, 559 Warforged, 566 Heroic, and 572 Heroic Warforged. Blizzard posted a blog on 9/4 covering
Siege of Orgrimmar Raid Schedules
, and you need ilvl 496 to queue up for LFR
Осада Оргриммара
. Flex Wing 1 will be available on September 10th, but LFR Wing 1 will be available on September 17th.
Since this blog's focus is about what you can currently do
before
5.4, we're not going to dive into new gear too much--we've got more gear blogs planned for launch week, and in the meantime you can check out our blogs on
Tier 16 Itemsets
,
Season 14 PvP gear
,
Patch 5.4 Trinkets
,
Siege of Orgrimmar Weapons
, and
Siege of Orgrimmar Loot tables
. We also have all loot details up on
Осада Оргриммара
boss pages, including Flexible loot.

Currency Changes
Очки доблести
will not be converted to
Очки справедливости
in Patch 5.4. If you have all
Очки доблести
gear already, hold onto it for future upgrades. There will be no new
Очки доблести
gear to buy in 5.4.
will be converted to
because there's a new arena season starting.
As far as
Руна судьбы могу
, the bonus rolls will now work on
Престол Гроз
pets in 5.4--if you really like pets, it might be worth saving a few for
Живая жидкость
. since old LFRs are obsoleted when people level past 90 and you can only get that pet in LFR.
Руна судьбы могу
can also be acquired for 0
Вневременная монета
in 5.4.
If you're done with
Престол Гроз
loot and dislike farming Lesser Charms, hold on to them this week since you'll need them in 5.4 for
Осада Оргриммара
's
Закаленная в бою печать
in instead.
It won't be as easy in 5.4 to convert
Очки справедливости
into
and quickly get a fresh set of epics, since the conversion has been increased from 375 > 250 to 500 > 250. However, as listed above, there are easy ways to now get PvE epics with
Очки справедливости
.
For a full list of currency changes, check out our
5.4 PTR: Currency and Reputation Gear
blog.
Crafting Preparation
As far as crafted gear goes, there will be ilvl 476 PvP recipes players can learn when making
Небесная ткань
,
Прочная великолепная шкура
, or
Слиток сбалансированного триллия
. These daily transmutes require about the same materials needed to learn the ilvl 458 PvP recipes, so if you're short on materials and still want to learn some new recipes, it's best to wait a week. Players really into collecting recipes should stockpile
Рулон ветрошерстной ткани
,
Великолепная шкура
,
Слиток триллия
, and
Слиток призрачного железа
.
These ilvl 476 Crafted Malevolent recipes will also help with boosting item levels and perhaps bypassing some lower-tier LFRs.
If you want to be one of the first to craft and use the new ilvl 553 BoE epics (legs and belts), you'll be interested in crafting several
Экспресс-слиток сбалансированного триллия
,
Небесная экспресс-ткань
, and
Прочная великолепная экспресс-шкура
a day, which take the raw mats listed above in addition to
Дух войны
, found from DEing 5.4 gear.
Many new glyphs
are being added in Patch 5.4. The recipes will take some farming to get (world drops or
Вневременный остров
drops), but they'll all require
Чернила снов
, so stock up on that.
Живая сталь
is also worth hanging on to, as it will be used in a variety of Engineering vanity items, like
Пьер
.
We'll have a full overview of profession changes up at the end of the week, so stay tuned!
Removed Content
Мы в доле
will be removed from
Вечноцветущий дол
as the zone undergoes some major changes from the
Patch 5.4: Siege of Orgrimmar
trailer. You will still be able to hit Exalted with the
Золотой Лотос
, complete quests that grant achievements, and farm
Алани
.
With the patch coming pretty soon, you're probably best off supplementing daily rep gains with
Украденный жетон Золотого Лотоса
from
Зандаларский завоеватель
, making sure to do
Заказ: Золотой Лотос II
at your farm every day, and selecting Golden Lotus for bonus dungeon and scenario rep. Be sure to pick up
Особый знак признания Золотого Лотоса
at revered to speed your reputation gains along if you want
Мы в доле
.
For a complete look at all the changes in the Vale and a summary of
Мы в доле
, check out our
updated 5.4 Golden Lotus Guide
.
The weekly quests for
Battlefield Barrens
, as well as most special vanity items, are being removed in 5.4. You will not be able to get Latent Kor'kron transmog armor or any Darkspear Rebellion vanity gear after the patch, or complete
Раскол Орды
/
Повстанец из Черного Копья
and get the resulting title.
You will still be able to get
Боксерские перчатки из шкуры ящера
and
Камень призыва Газ'руки
by killing Kor'kron mobs in the Barrens. While it's too late to start collecting
Активизирующее колдунство
for a full set of Latent Kor'kron Armor, you can probably farm up items like
Настоящие тролльи ботинки Жуля
with some friends quickly before 5.4.
Настоящие тролльи ботинки Жуля
may be available at a later point as well, since they're so popular and occupy a unique transmog niche.
To learn more about Battlefield Barrens, check out our
detailed event guide
.
Season 13 Elite PvP gear and the
Гербовая накидка деспотичного гладиатора
and
Теплый плащ деспотичного гладиатора
are going away. Season 13 Elite gear is particularly unique because it required players to earn a ton of
but didn't have a rating requirement. Season 14 Elite gear will be handled differently--in addition to earning a ton of points, you also need a high rating.
Wowhead Tools
To help plan Patch 5.4, Wowhead tools can help!
Our PTR database has all the new Patch 5.4 gear, and our Siege of Orgrimmar boss pages have loot broken down by LFR, Flex, Normal, Heroic difficulties as well as by Loot Specialization.
Our items pages and
item comparison tool
now have Challenge Mode scaling options, so you can roughly see what your gear becomes inside a Challenge Mode or 5.4 Proving Ground.
Our
Profiler
can now be used on our PTR site to make Equipment Sets and item lists of 5.4 gear sets.
Our
Battle Pet Team Calculator
lets you save your ideal pet teams for the Celestial Tournament and power leveling. When 5.4 hits, you can also compare your teams to the Celestial Tournament teams as well.
There's been many glyph and talent changes, which you can check out on our
PTR talent calculator
.
