The Month Ahead in World of Warcraft

Recommended Posts

14513-the-month-ahead-in-world-of-warcra

December is a busy month for most people and Blizzard has made sure that there is plenty going on in game too.

 

We've put together a quick run-down of the month for you and the major events to pay attention to on the live servers.

 

This weekend sees the first Bonus Event in action, where Arena Skirmishes award a huge amount of bonus honor when completed. If you need something to do in game and you haven't tried PvP, we would definitely recommend you choose to farm some gear now! The event will continue until the 7th December.

Bonus Events in December

 

9th - 14th December: Time to return to the glorious days of the Burning Crusade with Outland Timewalking. 

 

16th - 21st December: All that farming during the Arena Skirmish event is finally going to pay off. Get yourself into Battlegrounds and take part in the Battleground Bonus Event!

 

23rd - 28th December: Tired of farming rares for those pesky reputation items? Fear not, the Draenor Dungeon Event is here! Gather your friends and speed through the dungeons of Draenor until your reputation bars are nothing but Exalted. 

 

30th December - 4th January: Have you been neglecting your pets? Are they gathering dust at level 1, never to be used? Grab your pet bandages and your favourite companions and dive into the world of the Pet Battle Bonus Event.

Darkmoon Faire

 

Make sure not to get too involved with farming Arena Skirmishes this weekend, since the Darkmoon Faire is back in town! It will run from 6th - 13th December. Make sure to get down to the Faire and show off your skills at the various games, hosted by your favourite NPCs. If you want to display your new-found arena skills, then make sure to jump into the Darkmoon Arena for a chance to win the prize in the middle. Be warned, it won't be easy!

 

In 6.2.2, only one new toy has been revealed: the inv_misc_seesaw.jpgDarkmoon Seesaw, which can be purchased for 50 tickets from Gelvas Grimegate.

 

If you'd like some tips on how to get the most out of the Darkmoon Faire, make sure to visit our guide here.

Winter's Veil

 

Are those sleigh bells we hear? Nog and cookies that we smell? Of course! Great-father Winter is back to visit us for Winter's Veil! Make sure to journey to Ironforge and Orgrimmar to collect your Winter's Veil treats, but it's not all fun and games. NPCs will be ready to hand out tasks for you to complete, with cooking recipes and toys to be earnt. If you're really feeling the festive spirit, you may find yourself lucky enough to earn the brand new festive mount inv_misc_pet_pandaren_yeti_grey.jpgMinion of Grumpus.

 

Other notable new additions to the Winter's Veil festivities include:

  • Grumpling, a new pet.
  • A variety of new toys, including the ability_malkorok_blightofyshaarj_yellow.Yellow Snowball, with the very important description: "Not for consumption".
  • New questlines, which reward the new currency achievement_worldevent_merrymaker.jpgMerry Supplies, used to purchase Garrison decorations.
  • A particularly useful new gathering tool, which is unusually a consumable, the inv_drink_23.jpgFizzy Apple Cider.

If you're feeling the chill during this festive period and need some pointers to help you out, just visit our guide here.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
