Tides of Vengeance Update Notes, Island Invasions Clarification, Live Developer Q&A on December 14

• Several new Missions are now available at both your War Table, as well as from new drops from various activities, such as Island Expeditions. Look for new Missions to upgrade your faction’s outposts, level up followers so that they gain access to a new equipment slot, send your followers on lucrative new weekly treasure hunts, and unlock a vendor who offers the opposing faction’s pets.

Island Expeditions

• The weekly quest to recover Azerite now requires 36,000 Azerite (was 40,000)
• The Island Expedition weekly quest now rewards lucrative new treasure map Missions for your followers.

Dungeons and Raids

• Mythic Keystones can no longer be deleted.

Achievements

• Two new Mythic Keystone Feats of Strength are now available. To earn them, complete all available Battle for Azeroth Mythic Keystone dungeons before the time limit, at +10 and +15 difficulty, by the end of the season.

Items and Rewards

• The Tortollans have new trinkets they’re willing to share if you’ll help the baby turtles make it to the water.

New Follower Equipment

• New basic equipment for Followers is now available from your Honorbound or 7^th Legion reputation vendor.
• Alchemists can now learn and craft a powerful new Follower item that bypasses the troop penalty on Stealth missions: Vial of Obfuscation.

Professions

Keep an eye out for new additions to many Professions, including new gear, new feasts for your raid and dungeon groups, new Jewelcrafting rings, inscription Contracts for increased Honorbound and 7^th Legion reputation, and new craftable pets.

Character Appearances

• Partially collected transmog sets will now tell you more information about which missing appearances are relevant to your current character.
• Fist weapons can now be transmogrified over other types of one-handed melee weapons, and vice-versa.

World and Questing

• Time to level from 1 to 110 has been reduced by approximately 25%.
• Legion World Quests for the Highmountain Tribe, Nightfallen, Army of the Light, and Argussian Reach now reward increased reputation.
• The initial chapters of the War Campaign now reward more reputation with the 7^th Legion or Honorbound.
• Most world quests are no longer completable in a raid group, and Premade Group Finder groups for them will automatically delist upon reaching 5 players. Epic world boss quests are still raid-eligible.

User Interface

• Pending summons now show on party/raid frames.
• The Mythic Keystone Dungeon tab now shows the highest-level Mythic dungeon that was completed in time. Higher-level completions that were not in time are still stored and can be seen when mousing over a given dungeon in the interface.

In Tides of Vengeance, we’ve changed how invasions occur. The invaders will now always show up, even if you’re beating the enemy team by a lot.

As a result of the invasions always happening, you will always get the loot potential of the invasion.
