September 5, 2018

Classes

• Warlock
  • Demonology
    • Diabolic Raiment 2-piece set bonus chance to activate reduced to 4% (was 20%).

Items

• Khor, Hammer of the Guardian is now item level 120 to signify that it is a Transmog weapon.

Island Expeditions

• Seafarer’s Dubloon items may no longer be used in PvP Island Expeditions.
  • Developers’ notes: We’re looking for ways to use Dubloons in the future, but for the time being, we do not feel that Dubloon use makes for a good experience in a PvP setting.
• Demolishers and Siege Tanks have been tuned to do less damage, with longer cooldowns on several of their abilities.

Missions

• Stealth missions now only have two bosses or objectives to counter.

Player versus Player

• Relentless (PvP Talent) and Hardiness (Orc Racial) no longer stack their Stun duration reduction effects.

• Bonus Rolls for Rated Arena and Rated Battleground matches will now be removed when leaving the instance.

Professions

• Engineering
  • The F.R.I.E.D., Organic Discombobulation Grenade, and Thermo-Accelerated Plague Spreader all now require fewer materials to craft. Rank 3 versions of their recipes should now also require fewer materials than Rank 2.
• Inscription
  • Glyph of the Headhunter has been removed, as it is no longer a viable glyph.

Quests

• Fixed a display issue when interacting with the Injured Zandalari Soldiers on “The Road of Pain”.

World Quests

• Fixed a bug causing Ji’arak and Warbringer Yenajz to fail to offer a bonus roll prompt in some situations.
• Fixed an issue that could cause “Save Our Scrolls!” to go away and not reappear until the player exited and re-entered Torga’s Rest.
• Sabertron should no longer fail to spawn after you “Kill the Sabertron Technician”.

Now that BFA Season 1 is underway, we’ve seen a number of questions about the item levels of various rewards and reward tiers. Here’s an outline of the current item levels you’ll see when you receive rewards from ranked PvP:

• Tier, Rating, End of Match iLvl, Weekly cache iLvl, Weekly Azerite item iLvl
• Unranked, 0 – 1399, item level 340, item level 355, item level 355
• Combatant, 1400 – 1599, item level 350, item level 365, item level 355
• Challenger, 1600 – 1799, item level 360, item level 370, item level 370
• Rival, 1800 – 2099, item level 365, item level 375, item level 370
• Duelist, 2100 – 2399, item level 370, item level 380, item level 385
• Gladiator, 2400+, item level 375, item level 385, item level 385

Some reminders:
End of match rewards are occasional.
For your weekly Azerite item Conquest turn-in, see Marshal Gabriel in the Salt and Shanty Inn near the Ashvane Docks in Boralus or Xander Silberman at Mugambala in Zandalar.
You’ll loot your weekly cache reward from a chest in that area.
The weekly cache items can Warforge/Titanforge.

Now go strike down your enemies!
