(Note: A lot of the features related to the tournament will be added after Patch 3.1, the most interesting part of it probably won't be added to the game before Patch 3.2 according to Zarhym's post
    They all require a new currency: Champion's Seals
    • Tabard - 50 Seals
    • Faction Banner - 15 Seals
    • Faction Mount - 100 Seals
    • Faction Pet - 40 Seals
    • Argent Hippogryph - 250 Seals
    • Epic Weapons - 25 Seals
    • Rare Armor / Neck / Trinkets - 10 Seals

    Equipment
    Both Horde and Alliance versions are available in game, but the stats and models are exactly the same for the moment.

    New tabards look awesome!

    Hopefully the 132 boss has been defeated

    EDIT: Boub, a few prot paladin talents on the calculator are messed up:
    Ardent defender: Requires 5 points in Reckoning (x2)
    Guarded by the light: requires 3 points in ardent defender (x2)
    Judgements of the just: requires 2 points in Guarded by the Light (x2)

    Just a heads up.

    Re: PTR 3.1.0 - Build 9626, Ulduar Video

    It takes Frost Lotus to make, has to be an herb bag

    And here's hoping this build won't crash every 20 seconds and allow some actual testing :P

    That's what I was thinking. Satchel of Cenarius and Mycah's Botanical Bag both required their relevant lotuses to make.

    whhhaattt gief that iron protodrake o m g probably gonna be a reward from a hardmode in ulduar though.. gonna be a while before I get that I guess..

    the weird 'theme park' tiger is the sandbox tiger, which is one of the rewards from the trading card game, as is stated in the post.

    Also the 'new childrens models' are probably gonna be your squires for the argent tourney, "SQUIRE FETCH MY MOUNT" etc

    oh and yea.. priest nerfs were needed.. fo'realz... *sarcasm off*

    Hilarious how people fail to realize that Blizzard is still working on a way to implement a new feature to the Barbershops to allow Druids to customize their forms.

    Hah, I look at that Spectral Tiger doodad and can't help but feel it's a nod to the plague of the wobbly mounts that we all suffered.
