- Tabard - 50 Seals
- Faction Banner - 15 Seals
- Faction Mount - 100 Seals
- Faction Pet - 40 Seals
- Argent Hippogryph - 250 Seals
- Epic Weapons - 25 Seals

A few spells introduced in 3.1 have been changed, make sure you check the original PTR 3.1 Patch Notes and Undocumented Changes post.

Re: PTR 3.1.0 - Build 9626, Ulduar Video
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.Originally Posted by archanfel

I'm sorry, but:
They have time to update something as worthless as children models, but not druid forms?

Re: PTR 3.1.0 - Build 9626, Ulduar Video
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.Originally Posted by Bonkbonk100

Re: PTR 3.1.0 - Build 9626, Ulduar Video
Alas, poor Shlomo, I knew him well...Thunderstomp (Gorilla) has been removed from the game and replaced by Pummel - Pummel the target, interrupting spellcasting and preventing any spell in that school from being cast for 4 sec. (20 Focus, 5 yd range, Instant, 10 sec cooldown)
Goodbye gorilladins the world around. Farewell.
