Patch 6.0.2 Survival Guide
Blizzard has released a video recap of some of the major changes in Patch 6.0.2.
Iron Horde Invasion - Blasted Lands Quests
Upon logging in you should be able to start the short Blasted Lands quest line. These quests reward
Iron Starlette,
The Iron Invasion, and the
of the Iron Vanguard title.
You can find more information about the quests on the WoWDB pages for the initial
Alliance /
Horde quest.
Gearing Up Alts
If you want to gear up alts to make leveling in Warlords a little bit easier, there are now a few more ways to do so. Keep in mind that lots of items can be upgraded at the cost of 50 x
Lesser Charm of Good Fortune.
- Upper Blackrock Spire - The new version of UBRS drops item level 550 blues, which is better than you can get from Normal Siege of Orgrimmar (without upgrades). You need item level 510 to queue.
- Honor - Battlegrounds and arena skirmishes can give you honor to purchase item level 550 Prideful gear.
- Gold - Gear that was sold for Justice or Valor previously is now sold for gold!
- Timeless Isle - You can get lots of 496 gear from chests on the isle. If you get tokens for armor you don't need, you can send them to other alts.
- World Bosses - The world bosses have a 15-30% chance to drop gear.
- Siege of Orgrimmar - Flex is now normal and scales from 10 to 30, so take advantage of the Group Finder to get some gear. If you are item level 496 or above, you can get item level 528 gear from Raid Finder.
- Throne of Thunder - If you are at least item level 480, you can do Throne of Thunder. Bosses have a ~30% chance to drop item level 502 gear.
