WoD Beta: Updated Profession and Toy Box Guides, Spell Pages Revamp, Community Item Tributes
We have even more guides updated today, in addition to the updated
battle pet
,
garrison
, and
class guides
from last evening!
Also check out the
datamined info from yesterday
and
Garrison Inn Quests
.
Toy Box Guide Updated
Each build, several more items are added to the Toy Box. The most notable addition is
Autographed Hearthstone Card
, which is a reward for completing the Garrison Mission
Hearthstone Tournament
. As shown in the screenshot, the "threats" you face are popular Hearthstone decks.
We update our
Warlords of Draenor Toy Box Guide
every build with additions, removals, screenshots, and tips on how to get the vanity items.

Community Tributes
Last night we datamined items named after Wowhead Staff
--we briefly mentioned them, but didn't cover it in-depth as we were busy working!
Here's a closer look at the staff who received items--thanks to all the Wowhead fans who made this possible by using our site :)
Aryu's Puzzle Ring
: This item is named after
Aryu
, a Wowhead developer! Aryu raided in Ensidia before starting at Wowhead in 2011. He handles all of the data for Wowhead, including datamining at 3 am, presenting Blizzard's data in more user-friendly ways, and adjusting the database to handle unannounced data changes on Blizzard's end so our tools keep working. The flavor text refers to the constant process of datamining and discovering data changes.
Ashelia's Adorned Waistguard
: Ashelia became the site director for Wowhead in 2011! Under her guidance, the
Transmog Sets
database and
Guides
were launched, as well as user-favorite contests like the
database scavenger hunts
. She was also instrumental in growing our News section to cover more beta/PTR coverage and datamining changes. Ashelia also helped acquire
LolKing
--she spends most of her time there now, but you may catch her on Wowhead/Hearthhead setting up contests or helping with news!
Erorus' Ledger of Trade
: This item is named after
Erorus
, who developed
The Undermine Journal
and
Realm Pop
before starting work at Wowhead in 2013. The flavor text on the item refers to The Undermine Journal, which tracks all auctions. Erorus is behind many features at Wowhead, including the
Garrison Calculator
,
Battle Pet Team Calculator
,
Character Planner
,
Blue Tweet Tracker
, and
Sounds Database
.
Jerek's Intractable Barrier
: This item is named after
Jerek
, a Wowhead developer and designer! Jerek has been part of our
battle pet
and
guides revamp
, as well as developing Hearthhead
Decks
and the
Deck Builder
. The item is most likely a shield as his favorite character is a Warrior.
Noxiia's Shackles
:
Noxy
is the site artist for Wowhead! She does the adorable logos, contest art, and holiday graphics on the site, which you can browse
here
. She also creates name badges for every BlizzCon, drawing likenesses of WoW players and Blizzard staff. You can check out her 2014 badges
here
. This year her open slots sold out in just a few days!
Olivia and I also received items in previous patches:
Olivia's Graceful Gaze
and
Perculia's Peculiar Signet
.

WoD Alpha: New Items and NPCs Named after WoW Community Members
The latest Warlords of Draenor build added tons of new NPCs and we found many references to members of the WoW Community! We've compiled a full list below and you can check out all of the Warlords of Draenor NPCs in our
WoD database
.
We've previously written
Blizzard and Community References in WoW
which covers all the references added in MoP and earlier expansions!
PvP
Many high-level PvPers received tribute NPCs--we'll most likely see them in Ashran. Their models include neat tributes to their favored classes--for example,
John Swifty
is wearing
Field Marshal's Battlegear
,
Alune Windmane
is an armored moonkin, and
Elliott Van Rook
is wearing PvP mage gear.
Introducing Wowhead's Design Revamp
Today the Wowhead team is proud to present our front-page design revamp! We've all wanted this for a while and we're thrilled to finally share it with you.
Each expansion, we evaluate how we present our site's content and if we can do anything better. For Mists of Pandaria, we
refined the layout of Wowhead News
to better serve our community--we streamlined the design, added some features to the sidebar, and changed the domain.
For Warlords of Draenor, we want our community to be better informed about our frequent database updates as well as our in-depth content previews. Many users love our
news coverage
and blogs announcing
new site tools
, but we've also heard from other users that they aren't aware of these posts due to the front page layout.
