Patch 6.2.3 Live This Week
Patch 6.2.3 goes live this week, bringing some system updates and new rewards:



Official Notes
The official notes were early this time, if you missed them before be sure to check them out now!



Valor and Item Upgrades
Valor Points may be gone, but Valor returns in Patch 6.2.3! Item upgrades are also back, with two upgrade levels at +5 item levels each.

  • You can see a full list of items that can be upgraded here.
  • Upgrading an item costs 250 Valor for +5 item levels.
  • Hellfire Citadel items, Dungeon loot, Baleful items, and crafted profession items can each be upgraded twice, for a total of +10 item levels.
  • You can upgrade lower tiers of crafted items, not just the highest one.
  • There is no hard weekly cap on Valor earned, but the sources of Valor are inherently not infinitely repeatable. You can earn up to 4,875.
  • There is a cap of 5,000 Valor that you can hold at once.
  • Valor can be earned in the following ways:
    • Mythic Dungeon (Valor awarded with dungeon completion, once per dungeon per week) – 300 Valor Points
    • Complete the weekly Event quest from Seer Kazal (Pet Battle Event excluded) – 500 Valor Points
    • Heroic Dungeon (complete your first random Heroic of the day) – 100 Valor Points
    • Raid Finder (once per week per wing) – 150 Valor Points for Hellfire Citadel wings, 75 Valor Points for Highmaul and Blackrock Foundry wings
  • To upgrade, visit your friendly neighborhood ethereal in Orgrimmar and Stormwind, or Stormshield and Warspear.



Increased Reward Item Levels
Mythic dungeons and Baleful items can now proc even higher item level bonuses!

  • Mythic dungeon items can now go from 685 to 725 in 5 level increments.
  • Baleful item can go from 655 to 695 in 5 level increments.
  • Items have a progressively lower chance to be rewarded as item level increases.

    A lot of people haven't been getting it in rotation for months on end. Sounds silly I know but since flying came out half of my wow friends have been absolutely livid that the pit hasn't been spawning.

    You know you can buy those with garrison resourses right? If your alliance, He's beside where you get your daily resources and for horde, He's right our the front, standing next to the front door of your main building.

    You can actually buy all of those quests. Awesome way to get crystals also.

    Oh I see I didn't realise. A few of my friends just told me that they were having trouble getting the pit. Tbh I had no idea you could buy them

    You can't purchase Pit, that's why they're adding it in this patch.

    Incorrect, you cannot buy a scouting missive for The Pit. For whatever reason they left it out.

    As the article stated it is being added in the patch on Tuesday.

    Considering how terrible it was when they were current... Yeah, not even the Archangel of Hope would be able to cheer up this healer. *grabs a swig*

    I personally disagree. I liked them as 5 mans. Zul'aman wasn't great but it was still fun to run now and again. Although I do sympathise from a healer POV

    Gonna be fun to do the Cataclysm dungeons again. Mythic dungeons might be fun for the non-raiding alts, but they'll probably be too easy to amuse me on my main.

    Valor from LFR but not normal/heroic/mythic.

    What a great idea... ¬_¬

    LFR and dungeons have a problem. Too little participation thanks to zero useful rewards, too many people unable to pull their own weight, horrendous queue times. Serious enough to warrant baiting frequent raiders into them as it seems.

    *shrug* no one's forcing you, lfr is worth 1350 valor of the weekly cap, which means it will take you (assuming you cap every other activity) 3 weeks instead of 2 to cap your gear.
    (alternatively, get some of your raider buddies and queue up for lfr together, a good team of healer, tank and a couple of high dps could literally drag an entire lfr group by themselves)

    Did anyone catch the following comment (bold my emphasis) under Valor Item Upgrades? Wait so you cant upgrade 705 weapons / 715 crafted gear? I can't find a blue quote about that anywhere. Is that just poor editing on MMO's part, or did I miss something?

    • Hellfire Citadel items, Dungeon loot, Baleful items, and crafted profession items can each be upgraded twice, for a total of +10 item levels.
    • You can upgrade lower tiers of crafted items, not just the highest one.
