Recommended Posts

Feathers is a new battle pet that you can get by completing a short questline in Patch 8.1.5 that takes place in Tanaris.

Mechanical Feather Mechanical Feather was added in Patch 8.1 and we also datamined a matching Mechanical Parrot mount in Patch 8.1 Build 28294 that's still not available to this day, maybe it's being saved for Mechagon and Patch 8.2?

Feathers Questline

A new questline was added in Patch 8.1.5 that rewards a battle pet called Feathers. Both factions will be able to get the pet. We completed the questline on the Horde side, where Jastor Gallywix sends you to kill a Goblin located in Tanaris.

Whatever Happened to Grizzek Fizzwrench?

Gallywix wants you to locate and kill Grizzek Fizzwrench in Tanaris.

Quote

When this whole Azerite mess began I had a goblin named Grizzek Fizzwrench do some research for me. He was bad for business and had to be removed from the picture. I thought it was a done deal, only now I'm hearing maybe he's not so dead. I need you to hunt this guy down and see what happened. If he's alive, eliminate him and i'll add the standard mercenary fee to your reward.

Gazlowe appears right after you leave the ship and tries to strike another deal with you.

Quote

Hey, PlayerName!

<Gazlowe's eyes look to either side as he motions you closer.>

I think we can make a deal here.

-> Yeah? What kind of deal?

Gallywix talked to you about Fizzwrench? Yeah, I thought so. Look, Grizzek didn't have a lick of sense when it came ot politics, but he was a good guy. Between you and me? We need goblins like him, pushin' the boundaries of engineering. So here's my counter offer. If you find Grizzek, tell him to keep his head down and tell Gallywix he's out of the picture. Do that and I'mm make sure you get paid twice as much. Sounds good?

-> You've got a deal.

Gallywix: Remember, I'll pay double!

After investigating Waterspring Field in Tanaris, you come across a Mechanical Parrot that's broken.

Quote

<You find the charred pieces of some mechanical contraption. A parrot maybe? It isn't Grizzek Fizzwrench, but it's evidence of his work. Perhaps there are more clues to be found in the area.>

Some Reassembly Required

Collect 100 Mechanical Parts Mechanical Parts from Venture Co. scavengers to fix Feathers.

Quote

<The word "feathers" has been etched onto the broken mechanical creature -- the sort of thing the person you are looking for might have created. Collecting the pieces and recreating the mechanical construct will surely give you a clue as to their fate..

The area is crawling with Venture Co. scavengers and goons. Their pockets are probably filled with mechanical bits you could use to fix Feathers.>

Re-Parrot

Now that Feathers is fixed, it's time to debug his recall program to trace Grizzek Fizzwrench.

Quote

<Though very damaged, and filled with insects, you can tell Feathers seems to have some sort of recall program.

Fixing the mechanical bird and following it back to the source may bring you to the person you seek.

You were able to put the thing back together. How hard could debugging and mechanical parrot be?>

When you begin debugging, Feathers will go haywire. You'll gain access to three abilities that need to be pressed in exact order, based on the text that appears on screen.

Quote

Input required! Hit Any Key! -> Hit Any Key Hit Any Key

System Overload! Clear cache! -> Clear Cache Clear Cache

Error 37! Error 37! Reboot System! -> Reboot System Reboot System

The debugging process should finish.

Quote

<Debugging Feathers involved actual bugs. Gross. But the mechanical creature seems to be moving better.>

Hello! Systems operating within normal parameters. Hello!

<Feathers looks at you, awaiting input.>

Return to the Nest

Quote

<You decide to activate the recall subroutine. Perhaps the parrot will lead you to the person you are looking for.>

Activate the recall subroutine to find Fizzwrench.

Quote

Feathers: Homing beacon activated. Searching for signal. Signal found. Activating protocol "Find Saffy". Signal degradation. Atmospheric disturbances detected. Attempting to compensate. Signal weak. Re-calibrating. Operation resumed. Within broadcast radius. Starting broadcast now. Hello, Saffy!

Sapphronetta Flivvers: Feathers! How are you-- Feathers! Cancel broadcast! Cancel--

Feathers: Order recognized. Broadcast canceled. Signal disrupted. Error 37. Compensating. Signal Re-established. Time to target, approximately twenty seconds. Hello, Saffy!

He's Dead, Jastor

Feathers will lead yu to Grizzek Fizzwrench and Saffy. Now, you're asked to tell Jastor Gallywix that he's long dead and you can keep the bird.

Quote

Hey, uh, so I got a good thing goin' on here, and I really don't want Gallywix to know I'm alive. I'll make you a deal. You spin some story about how you only found tiny pieces of me spread across Tanaris and that I am totally dead, and... And you can keep the bird.

Grizzek Fizzwrench: Hey, thanks for not blabbing to Gallywix for me. And uh, thank Gazlowe for me? I owe him one, so I'm gonna pay it with some advice for you to pass along. Never get involved in political engineering! Never! Tell him to run if he's gettin' too close!

Sapphronetta Fivvers: We should really be going. Gallywix's goons could find us at any moment!

Grizzek Fizzwrench: Right, right. We're all packed, pookie. Ready to go when you are.

Sapphronetta Fivvers: You take good care of Feathers, PlayerName. Remember, you never saw us!

Return to Zandalar Harbor and speak to Gallywix.

Quote

Hey! PLAYERNAME!

You take care of that bad investment, Grizzek Fizzwrench?

Don't spare any of the details! Come on, spill!

-> He's dead. Where's my payment?

-> He's nothing but a smear across the desert. A tiny smear. A series of microscopic bits spread across the sand. He's 100% dead. I got this really awful sunburn looking for all the pieces. And when I found them I blew them up again. Yep He's dead. Really, really dead.

Gallywix: That's what I like to hear! Nice doin' business with ya, PlayerName.

Now talk to Gazlowe to claim your pet!

      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.
