A compilation of everything you need to know about the forthcoming patch.

I like these changes.

That thumbnail really makes hard to take Kil'jaeden as a threat when he looks so dorky; almost like a villain from a Saturday morning cartoon.

Can anyone clarify on the various resources and how to collect them?   Wondering if it's worth putting a guild group together or if there's too much gating.

I know the Sentinax (available tomorrow or when the legion invasions start next week?) drops beacons which drops nethershards, is this a constant thing or is it capped at like 1 beacon an hour or such?    There's also the new faction chests...Any other source of Nethshards?   Broken Shore mobs don't have a chance to drop or something?

Similarly looking at wowhead the Legionfall War Supplies drop from raremobs, and some quests...again, any other constant sources (again, wondering if a raid/5-man group can farm mobs for them?)

Finally, what are the sources of rep for the new faction?   Worldquests? Raremobs?   Other?
