In Warlords of Draenor there are many rares in each zone, a lot of them are to kill while leveling to diversify the leveling experience. It’s a combined and improved version of leveling and the timeless isle. To help you keep track of them all we’ve compiled a list of all the rares we’ve been able to find. Remember WoD is still in beta, anything can change. If we missed any feel free to leave a comment with the location and name of the rare mob or event. Click on the map for a full size version.
This morning’s patch has brought some changes to some of the building perks for the garrisons. Here’s an overview of the changes:
Building | Removed Effect | Added Effect |
---|---|---|
Barracks Level 2 | Increases follower cap by 10 | Increases follower cap by 5 |
Mage Tower | Specific portals per level | Each level allows you to choose a portal to 1 ogre gateway |
Bunker Level 3 | Gives one extra raid bonus roll per week | You get one of the 3 bonus roll coins per week for free |
Trading Post Level 2 | – | Gives you access to the auction house in your garrison |
Gladiator’s Sanctum (Sparring Arena) Level 1 | – | Allows the collection of broken bones from enemy players (used for Conqueror’s Tribute) |
Gladiator’s Sanctum (Sparring Arena) Level 2 | – | Gives access to Nemesis quest series for defeating enemy players of specific races |
Gladiator’s Sanctum (Sparring Arena) Level 3 | – | Grants access to the Battle Royale arena event |
These changes make the Gladiator’s sanctum interesting to pvp players while the bunker will no longer be mandatory for progression focused raiders.
The release date and cinematic for Warlords of Draenor will be announced next week!
A storm of iron is headed Azeroth’s way—be among the first to witness its fury at the world premiere of the Warlords of Draenor cinematic! Join Blizzard’s Mike Morhaime, Chris Metzen, and World of Warcraft designers Ion Hazzikostas and Brian Holinka for the grand unveiling, streamed live from the Ace Theatre in Los Angeles. But that’s not all—we’ll also host a live interview with the WoW developers, announce the Warlords of Draenor launch date, and debut the first episode of a new animated lore mini-series: Lords of War. You won’t want to miss it!
When: Thursday, August 14 at 9:30 a.m. PDT (18:30 CEST)

So not only will we get the release date and the WoD cinematic, we will also get a new mini series about the warlords! Something like the burdens of shaohao seems extremely likely.
As far as speculating about the release date goes, the announcement now could indicate an october or even late september release. However given the current state of the beta a late november or december release date seems more likely. It’s really fingers crossed on this one to just hope it’s the former rather than the latter, we are approaching the 1 year anniversary for Siege of Orgrimmar and everyone could use a change of scenery! At the same time patch 6.0 isn’t even on the PTR yet and last time anything was said about 6.0, it was said it would go to the live servers 4 to 6 weeks before the release of WoD. Which would give the early option a really really tight release schedule.
Today we take a look at the bosses of one of the new dungeons, Grimrail Depot.
The alliance chopper will be implemented ingame, however it will cost you gold to get it! How much is currently unknown.
Due to popular demand (and a few shady back-alley deals in Stormwind’s Old Town), the Alliance bike built for Azeroth Choppers will be rumbling its way to a vendor in Azeroth sometime after the launch of Warlords of Draenor. This mount will cost a pretty hefty sum of gold, however, so you might want to start saving up now if you want to ride around in style on this masterful machine. As a reminder, once the winning Horde Chopper is added to the game, it will be available for free to players who log in between now and September 30, 2014.
Remember, only characters of the associated faction will be able to ride each bike, so buyer beware!
