Latest 5.4.8 Hotfixes - May 27


Blizzard has posted their latest batch of live server hotfixes, including a fix to the issue with the inv_misc_bag_16.jpgGoing To Need A Bigger Bag, along with a few nerfs to mana drain effects of a few pre-90 items. Nothing too remarkable being changed, but as they are hotfixes I suppose that's technically a good thing!

Blizzard's Garrison Preview Part 1


Blizzard has posted a phenominal first entry in a four part series spotlighting Warlords of Draenor's upcoming Garrisons feature! This article details the process of starting to develop your garrison during the leveling process to 100. Questing in Warlords will be the primary means to strengthen and further develop your garrison, and blueprints for new buildings can be earned in a variety of different ways. You'll meet and recruit followers in your travels and establish outposts in multiple different zones as extensions of your primary garrison in either Shadowmoon Valley (Alliance) or Frostfire Ridge (Horde). Find out more details in the full post on the World of Warcraft blog!

Heart of the Valorous Buff - +100% Bonus Valor


Perhaps taking idea from the success of Diablo III's recent double-legendary buff, which became a permanent feature of the game, Blizzard has introduced a limited-time buff on Valor gains across all characters. This buff will be in effect from Friday, May 30 at 9:00 AM PDT, through Tuesday, June 10 at 9:00 AM PDT and all characters will earn 100% more Valor Points. Of course, the Valor cap hasn't been raised, so essentially players will just cap their Valor quicker and have even less to do. This buff comes not too long after patch 5.4.8's addition of the pvecurrency-valor.jpgDeeds of Valor tokens, which can be purchased with Timeless Coins on the Timeless Isle. Reaching the Valor cap shouldn't be very difficult at all!

      Blizzard somehow forgot to update the item level of BoA tokens from Dreamsurges to the Season 4 item level so they recently hotfixed it to 454.
      On live servers, Celestine the Harvest now sells BoA gear tokens with item level 454 (up from 415). Visit the active Dreamsurge location to find the vendor.

      Check out our Dreamsurges guide for more information about the event!

      Players in Dark Heart can embark on a short quest in Valdrakken that rewards a Personal Tabard  that is account-wide, but the design you create is character-specific.
      After completing the quest, you can customize your Personal Tabard at tabard designers in any capital city. Thanks to MrGM for the screenshots.

      In a recent Reddit thread, players shared their regrettable experiences with the game's infamous Black Market Auction House (BMAH).
      The highest bids often come with stories of disappointment and frustration, as highlighted by these popular comments:
      Reddit user MadsenAn regretted spending a whopping 700,000 gold on a Tabard of Brilliance, only to receive it from a Twitch drop the same day, calling the coincidence "personal."
      Redditor DM_ME_KUL_TIRAN_FEET shared a tale of woe about spending 180,000 gold on a BMAH mystery box, which contained a Goblin Weather Machine that they had already received from a Twitch drop just a day earlier.
      Sammywitchdr recounted how they spent over 1 million gold on a Swift Zulian Panther thinking it was the rare ZG Tiger from vanilla WoW, only to realize they already owned the panther from a previous expansion.
      Thoms689 was duped into bidding 1.2 million gold for a Tabard of Frost by a friend who was secretly outbidding him to inflate the price, a betrayal that cost him both gold and a friendship.
      Vitchman shared a frustrating experience with a 600,000 gold bid for what turned out to be an Ordos drop that was unsuitable for his character class, illustrating the risks associated with the mysterious contents of BMAH boxes.
      Caronry discussed a close call with bidding 5 million gold on an Arcanite Ripper, thankful to have been outbid, which potentially saved them from later regret.
      Sigilweavers told a comedic yet painful tale of bidding 900,000 gold for a Firelands mount only to discover they already owned it after winning the auction. This story serves as a cautionary reminder to double-check what you already have before entering a bidding war.
      MattyIce8998 recounted an almost regrettable bid of 800,000 gold on Frostfire shoulders, narrowly avoided by being outbid. They eventually acquired the item when it became craftable, much cheaper.
      These stories encapsulate the high-risk, high-reward nature of the Black Market Auction House, where players' fortunes can swing dramatically with each bid and the lengths to which gamers will go for the rarities WoW has to offer.
      Do you have any interesting BMAH story for us? Don't forget to share it in the comments!

      Find out how to obtain the new Spark of Awakening in Season 4.
      Spark of Awakening is used to set the item level of crafted gear to Item Level 502 in Season 4, but how can you obtain one on live servers?
      Abandon the "Aiding the Accord" quest if it's in your Quest Log.
      Pick up the weekly quest from Therazal in central Valdrakken. As you can see, there are now three possible quests for you to receive that will change every week.

      The weekly quest options (and objectives) will always be the following:
      Dragon Isles Quest
      Participate in a Community Feast Participate in a Hunt Lay siege to Dragonbane Keep Zaralek Cavern Quest
      Protect the Researchers Under Fire Loot a Secured Shipment (Suffusion Camp) Complete a Time Rift Amirdrassil Quest
      Earn 50 Bloom during the Superbloom Complete a Superbloom Plant 3 Dreamseeds Quest Rewards
      After completing the weekly quest you will receive 1 Splintered Spark of Awakening) via Weekly Awakened Activity and a Cache of Awakened Storms (containing gold or gear).
      You will need two Splintered Spark of Awakening and 250 Flightstones to create one Spark of Awakening.
      Awakened Raid Bosses
      Apparently, Splintered Spark of Awakening have a chance to drop from Awakened Raid bosses, as spotted by @azatoth668!

      We'd like to introduce you to a game-changing nameplate addon for Season 4 that's essential for excelling in Mythic+ dungeons.
      Tracking every mob and their abilities in Mythic+ can be overwhelming, but this addon excels by replacing standard mob nameplates and cast bars to enhance your gameplay.
      Once installed, mobs with critical interrupts will display a thick orange cast bar, while less crucial ones will show a thinner yellow bar.

      Mobs with less crucial interrupts will have a thinner yellow cast bar.

      Additionally, any mobs that inflict heavy frontal cone damage are marked with an arrow and feature orange cast bars. A voice alert will also prompt you to move by announcing "front."

      The addon further assists by indicating non-interruptible spells that require crowd control with a purple cast bar and a vocal "cc" alert.

      For tanks, if you're not holding aggro, the nameplates of the mobs will turn red, quickly showing you which ones to target.

      There's also a handy visual cue on the cast bar, surrounded by a green border, signaling when you can interrupt an ability and your interrupt skill is off cooldown.

      Ready to try it out?
      You can download Quazii Plater here.
      For setup assistance, watch Quazii's comprehensive video guide.
      Quazii has also created a Mythic+ cheatsheet that details all critical abilities for Season 4 dungeons, available in a text format.
