Armory Stats - Mists of Pandaria Challenge Modes
Before we get too far into Warlords of Draenor, there are a few outstanding requests for some final armory stats. This sample was updated right up until Patch 6.0.2 went live and looks at accounts active from September 1st onwards, which was 2.3 million accounts and 6.8 million characters.

The first chart looks at the overall percentage of players that have each challenge mode achievement. The second chart defines a participating player as one with the bronze achievement for that challenge mode.

If there are any other final requests that use pre-6.0.2 Mists of Pandaria data please let us know in the comments, as the data will be wiped when new data collection begins in a week.

Any chance you're working on fixing the Guard tooltip value seems to be off by 100% (as if pre hotfix)?
Aye, we're sometimes unable to update tooltip values when we hotfix the effectiveness of spells, until the next client patch. (Celestalon)

I know MS has two rolls and each has X/2% chance in PVE. How does it work in PVP? One roll of X% or X/2%?
That's a mix of old and wrong info. Correct is simple:X% Multistrike = one X% roll in PvP, two X% rolls in PvE (Celestalon)

Mind Sear can't beat Mind Flay? Howling Blast beats Icy Touch w/o proc. Nerf Howling Blast?
Howling Blast is intended to be used in single target. Mind Sear is not. (Celestalon)

Art
Any chance boar mount running animation could get adjusted somehow? Currently it's really jittery.
They have tiny legs! (Muffinus)

Character / Items
How is Shattered Hand refresh supposed to work? Pandemic or just straight refresh?
Shattered Bleed is a bit unusual. Static damage, doesn't roll. Refreshes do NOT get Pandemic. Shared DoT between hands. (WarcraftDevs)
So there is no point in having it on both weapons?
It still does direct damage, and isn't necessarily 100% uptime with it only on 1 weapon. (Celestalon)

PvP
the gap in pvp and normal gear now is just unbareable even despite your efforts. pvp is no longer fun for me.
Hm that's surprising to hear. The gap is closer than it was throughout MoP. (holinka)

Why does a 620/675 item need rep to be used?
PvP gearing needs more variety than "earn currency, go to vendor" (holinka)

I was curious how strongboxes work? I've done random BG, never get one. Is there specific bgs that give them? #nubquestion
All bgs give them. Winners always get gold, losers get silver or bronze based on final score. (holinka)

Have y'all ever considered BiS PvP gearing being easily accessible and fast for everyone? Regardless of casual or competitive?
The game might be better if people could get to the peak ilevel in a straightforward manner, but min-maxing took more engagement. (holinka)

Any chance we'll see removal of the "Ashran Bonus". It simply isn't fun for a lot of people and goes against removing the RBG bonus
Probably not (holinka)

Lore
I have a really strange question for you: Is Lost Veil Anzu where Sketh'lon Base Camp would be in our main Outland timeline?
Probably a happy coincidence, but might've planned it. (DaveKosak)

Garrisons
Proposed solution would allow follower customization over time. Randomness keeps from creating super followers, least not quickly.
There are already follower re-roll tokens, perhaps too rare though. (Muffinus)

Misc
WoDevelopment Log: At one point, I spent at least an hour thinking about what grown-up Awbee's name would be. Awbwegos? (Muffinus)

Computers - Setup of the Month
Each month or every 2 months, depending on the hardware evolution, we will post a couple of hardware setups for those of you who are thinking of upgrading their computer!

This month
The current SSD prices are trending slightly downward again over the past few months, with most SSDs under $0.50 per gigabyte when on sale.

Depending on how much you want to overclock, you may need to spend a bit more for a better CPU cooler like the NH-D14.

Unless you are doing a lot of video rendering or streaming, you do not need the 4790K and should spend that money elsewhere.

Make sure to keep your AMD and Nvidia drivers up to date.

Don't hesitate to post any feedback in the comments of that news post, and don't forget to visit the Computer Forum for any extra questions!

Death Knight Creation Requirements Removed in a Future Patch
An upcoming content patch is going to remove the requirement of having a level 55 character before you can create a Death Knight.

Originally Posted by Nethaera (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
With availability of the level 90 character boost, we feel the requirement to have a character level 55 or higher to unlock the Death Knight as a playable class is no longer relevant. The plan right now is to remove the limitation sometime next week, at which point players will be able to start a new Death Knight (which still begins at level 55) without first having to reach level 55 on another character.

Update: Upon looking into making this change, we discovered that a few client-side adjustments would need to go through in order for it to work. Therefore, our new plan is to remove the level 55 requirement for Death Knight creation in an upcoming content patch.

Shattered Hand changed from 3.5 to 2.5 RPPM. (WarcraftDevs)

As well as on Blackrock (previously you said "30% chance on deal/take any damage, 40sec ICD)
Blackrock changed from 30% to 100% chance. Must be <60%HP after the hit. (Previously required you to be <50% HP prior to the hit) (WarcraftDevs)

Upcoming Garrison Outpost Hotfixes
We're going to be seeing some changes to the gold prices of Garrison Outposts, and their follower specific quests, after the next maintenance period.

We’re planning to make some changes to the Garrison Zone Outposts, to reduce the costs necessary to change out the building you initially chose while questing through the zone, and also allow you to earn the unique follower associated with alternate building choices.

Specifically, these changes will be:
  • The cost to change your Garrison Outpost building in Gorgrond, Talador, and Spires of Arak reduced to 5,000 gold
  • The cost to change your Garrison Outpost building in Nagrand reduced to 500 gold
  • Changing your Garrison Outpost building in a zone will also grant access to the building-specific questline for that zone, including the building-specific follower

Note that you will still be unable to change your Garrison Outpost building until you’ve reached level 100 and earned your current building’s zone achievement, at which point the building can be changed by speaking with the outpost’s foreman NPC (who varies from building to building).

These changes are currently not planned to go live until the next maintenance period for each region, but we wanted to give as much advance notice as possible that they’re on their way.

Hotfixes for December 11th

Alchemy and Jewelcrafting Changes
Originally Posted by Rygarius (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
We’re giving a heads up on adjustments being made based on player feedback over the amount of herbs used in recipes by Alchemy and Jewelcrafting. The adjustment will increase the amount of herbs an Alchemist needs and decrease the herb costs for Jewelcrafters.

Overview of Changes:

Alchemy
  • Combat potion recipes no longer requires Crescent Oil and meat/fish, and will require herbs instead.
  • Flask recipes will use more herbs, increasing the number of herbs needed from one type of herb to two.

Jewelcrafting
  • Tier 1 gem recipes will require more ore and less herbs.
  • Tier 2 gem recipes will no longer require herbs and instead require a tier 1 gem.

In summary, these changes are not active yet. But once the change is active, Alchemists will need more herbs, and Jewelcrafting will need less.

Does this require a Realm Restart to take in effect?
This is an early heads up and it's not live yet. It depends on how testing for the hotfix goes before that can be determined.

I'm currently working to get clarification from the designers over feedback that we've been receiving over the change to reagents for Alchemy recipes.

Update:
We’ve been reading feedback and concerns that have been raised and wanted to provide clarification. Historically, Alchemy has greater synergy with Herbalism than Fishing and we wanted to restore that with this change. Crescent Oil still has a use for Alchemists and it will still be used for some Draenor Alchemy recipes. We’re removing Crescent Oil as a reagent from primary stat buff potions and mana potions, but keeping it for other potions.
