Legendary Cloak Quest Last Chance - Black Prince Buff Extended
It looks like you won't need the cloak for Ordos anymore either!

Legendary Cloak Changes: Once More unto the Breach
As a part of the transition from Mists of Pandaria to Warlords of Draenor, we’ll be making some changes to the Legendary Cloak quest line and ultimately closing it out as players head into the new expansion. Once the quest is fully closed, the item will no longer be attainable, and the cloak will become a symbol of the great deeds you’ve accomplished in Mists of Pandaria.

With the release of the pre-expansion patch (6.0.2), players who are not already on the journey through this quest line will no longer be able to begin it. We will also be removing the Test of Valor step with patch 6.0.2 as a part of our transition from using Valor as a currency.

Once Warlords of Draenor launches on November 13, the Legendary Cloak quest line will be gone entirely—the quests and the cloak will no longer be obtainable, and any related in-progress quests will be cleared from your log.

But when one door closes, another door opens. In Warlords of Draenor, players will have the opportunity to earn a new Legendary item available exclusively in the new expansion: Khadgar’s Band of the Archmage.

The Gaze of the Black Prince: One Last Look
If you haven’t yet earned your Legendary Cloak, you still have one final opportunity to make accelerated progress on your quest. Rather than end the Gaze of the Black Prince buff on Tuesday, September 16 (as previously announced), the buff will remain active until the release of the Warlords of Draenor pre-patch (6.0.2). This buff increases the reputation gained with the Black Prince by 100%. It also increases the chance of obtaining items from his foes needed as a part of the Legendary Cloak quest line, including Secrets of the Empire, Sigil of Wisdom, Sigil of Power, and Titan Runestones.

Good luck on your quest, but remember that your voyage doesn’t end here. Soon, you’ll be setting your sights on the new Legendary item, Khadgar’s Band of the Archmage, in Warlords of Draenor.

Heirloom Vendor Change in Patch 6.0.2
Heirlooms in the Warlords of Draenor beta currently have some gold prices associated with them, but the prices may not be final. You will still be able to get the shields and offhands from the Darkmoon Faire.

As you might already be aware, both Justice and Valor Points are being removed as currencies from the game in 6.0.2. As we started to work on new ways to buy Heirlooms, we found that we were setting their value up for a rollercoaster ride. That's because we’re also working on a larger Heirloom system for a future patch, and we don’t want to introduce an interim pricing scheme that could temporarily devalue Heirlooms or limit how we’d be able to give them out in the future. Rather than make players face buyer’s remorse and hand-wringing decisions about when to buy, we’re going to give the Justice Heirloom vendors some time off while we work on improving the system as a whole.

One thing to note is that this change only affects vendors that sell Heirlooms for Justice. PvE Heirlooms will still remain available at the Darkmoon Faire and the Trial of the Crusader, and PvP Heirlooms will continue to be available for Honor.

    They mean 'Naxx @ level 60' - but they should probably say Naxx40 sort of like when people say AQ20 or AQ40.

    Showing off unobtainable items to those "special snowflake's" is priceless. You know how much they want them and know they can't every have them. Makes you more special than them for a few seconds at least 1up for the vet players with less time to play.
    You know, I quite like thinking of it that way. My only problem is I'd like to still be able to go back and redo some parts of it on a character that has the cloak. I actually enjoyed the 'Tank Trial'(was quite a shock to see Deathwing, and doing more than just 'get aggro')

    This is how they stop people unsubbing during the tail-end of dead expansions. Legendaries are going to become a way of keeping people subbed up.

    Well, that's a stupid argument. Reason why Atiesh was removed, was because they moved Naxx40 to Naxx10 and 25 in WotLK. They're not removing any raids in MoP.

    Going to have to come up with a better reason than having the cloack "become a symbol of the great deeds"...it was a simple grind item that could be acquired via lfr. The only part I liked about was the lore revolving around it and the little visits to the black prince and Anduin.

    You seriously wan't to cut out an orange and the experience to those that didn't want to play this xpac?? Blizz pls

    What a sad and pathetic attempt to get people to resub to finish it before release.

    "Symbol of the deeds in MoP", yeah the most boring, uninspired and easiest legendary of them all suddenly becomes a symbol of "something"... Yeah right.

    I just started to play again since 1.5 months or so. On my warlock I am on the quest A test of valor with a progress on 1330 of 3000 required. What are my chances that I can get the legendary cloak before WoD hits live?

    Exactly. You can still grind your blades of azzinoth but this lame legendary needs to be locked and become a symbol of your deeds in MoP?

    At least they locked CM rewards... A few years back they probably wouldn't have done that and let every idiot farm them while being 20 levels higher making the achievements a big joke.

    Don't you just love it. Start of MoP WAAAA WAAAA legendary to easy to get any bad casual scrub can get it. Now blizz announce its being removed and suddenly it's WAAAA waaaa how dare they remove the legendary!!

    You people are impossible to please!

    I like the fact that blizzard went that route like it was at the early years of wow. Its almost like vanilla, tbc and wotlk. You can earn shit over the whole expansion even faceroll with BIS gear (Undying, Hand of Adal, Champion of Ulduar,Atiesh, Black Bug, etc.) And if you didnt then, its your fault, those who earned it can enjoy showing it off with pride. I hope for more things to come with WoD that will be removed and more Feat of Stengths such as the Title for Greenfire for Warlocks.
    Suddenly the Cloak I already had for a year and everyones granny had is 10 times more awesome knowing that its going away.

    Easy for the scrubs that got it a year later, maybe.

    It was easy, no matter what kind of player you were.

    The point was that there's barely any reason at all to make this a "limited legendary" other than hoping some "scrubs" as you call them would resub and finish it before MoP.

    Aww you mad you're not going to be able to get the challenging stuff at ease when you out-level the content?

    No reason to do it more then once anyway, so just do them before WoD and you'll be fine

    Removing content is never good.

    Every challenge has it's moment of glory, you get praised for your achievements if you complete them when it matters, no one cares if random guy #12946 beats tonight heroic lich king for the first time, what people cared about was the first kills some years ago. But our dear random guy will have fun killing it, he knows its not a big achievement, but he will enjoy it.

    With legendaries or almost any other aspect of the game this works the same way. There is a cool item, some cool lore, some cool title, mount, pet... whatever, that is no longer relevant, people know already that it doesn't have a lot of value at this point, but is always nice to have the chance to play that content, to live that content, it helps to build up your character, because even if my paladin was created during TBC she will always be the proud owner of Thunderfury, i don't care if i didn't obtain it when it was relevant, all i care about is the fun i had obtaining it.
