Patch 4.1 - Build 13850 - New Items, Icons, and Updated Map!
A new patch has hit the PTRs and with it comes a few new items worth mentioning, as well as some new / changed icons and an updated Wailing Caverns map! Yeah, that's right - Wailing Caverns.
You might remember that the last major
PTR Patch Notes update
mentioned removal of the "maze section" of
Die Höhlen des Wehklagens
. The map has been updated to reflect this change.
New Items
We've also uncovered a few new items from this latest patch, including some which I'd assume are rewards players can obtain in the new goodie bags from the
Dungeon Finder's new Call to Arms system

Patch 4.1 Guild Challenges Detailed by Blizzard
Blizzard has just recently released extensive details about the new Guild Challenges that are coming with Patch 4.1. Unfortunately, they aren't as robust as many players had hoped, but there's always opportunity for an update down the line! These challenges (as
we mentioned before
) task players with completing dungeons, raids and rated battlegrounds in guild groups for a large guild experience and monetary reward (at the appropriate guild level / reputation level).
Patch 4.1 will go live with three guild challenges:
Guild Raid Challenge:
Kill any Cataclysm raid boss while in a guild group. Requires at least 8 (in 10-player) or 20 (in 25-player) guild members in raid. Can be completed 1 time per week, rewards 3000000 guild experience.
Guild Dungeon Challenge:
Complete any Cataclysm regular or heroic dungeon while in a guild group. Requires at least 3 guild members in party. Can be completed 7 times per week, rewards 300000 guild experience.
Guild Rated Battleground Challenge:
Win a Rated Battleground while in a guild group. Requires at least 8 guild members in raid. Can be completed 3

Latest Cataclysm Hotfixes (March 25 - March 29)
Just a tiny batch of new hotfixes, all of which were implemented between March 25 - March 29. Maybe Blizzard is finally running out of things to fix? Yeah, right. Don't worry, 4.1 will bring a whole new mess of changes and bugfixes all too soon! Nothing too incredibly interesting today, though I'm sure it was funny how players were using
prior to the fix, and I'll definitely welcome the lack of aggressive mobs near one of the more common

A bug has been fixed that could cause

The guild perk "

Guild Challenges Implemented on Patch 4.1 PTR
The
previously mentioned
guild challenges
have just started showing up on the PTR! You can rest assured that we'll have them added to our
PTR website
but for now you can take a look at the updated interface and get an idea of what kind of "challenges" we'll be facing! These challenges will be an awesome way to earn tons of guild experience and appear to have weekly caps -- For example, the Heroic dungeon challenge can be completed 7 times, most likely in a row with the changes to the
Daily Heroic system
! Sounds awesome to me!

Patch 4.1 - PTR Build 13793 - New Items
There are a lot of new items we've pulled up from this patch, way too many to tack onto
the previous post about spell changes
. This time around, the theme seems to be new vanity items and new epics now on certain rare mobs as well as achievements.
See the full list of latest additions by clicking here!
Notable finds include:
We were told that
Poseidus
was getting a new loot table a while back: "Loot from the creatures Garr, Julak-Doom, Mobus, and Poseidus has been adjusted to be commensurate to their rarity and invested effort." Well, there's some proof it's happening!

Patch 4.1 - Rise of the Zandalari Official Preview
Blizzard hit us today with the official content preview for Patch 4.1: Rise of the Zandalari. It's a well-written summary of the threats adventurers will be facing soon and explains what role Vol'jin will be playing and the numerous threats that Stranglethorn contains. It also shows us some of the new vanity drops we'll be seeing.
In years past, the Zandalar tribe, encompassing the wise and scholarly progenitors of the trolls, heroically assisted the Horde and the Alliance with thwarting the nefarious activities of their brethren in Zul'Gurub and Zul'Drak. Yet the chaos unleashed by the recent Cataclysm has reshaped the Zandalari's philosophy about the world and the dwindling remnants of their race. Led by a mysterious prophet known only as Zul, the Zandalari have issued a call to Azeroth's embattled troll populations: unite into a single mighty empire and save their race from extinction.
Thus far, the Gurubashi and Amani trolls have answered the summons and received aid from the Zandalari, allowing them to rebuild their respective capitals in Zul'Gurub and Zul'Aman. Not all trolls, however, have so eagerly adopted the Zandala

Changes to Valor Points and "Heroic Dailies" in Patch 4.1
Blizzard poster Lylirra has just revealed some details about the upcoming changes to the "daily" dungeon system and documents the new procedures for earning Valor Points this way. You can check out the full Blizzard posts after the break, but the basic rundown is:
You can earn
up to
980 VP per week from random Heroic dungeons.
Of that 980 VP, only 490 VP can be earned from tier 1 Cataclysm Heroics. The remaining 490 VP must be earned by running Rise of the Zandalari Heroics (tier 2).
Alternatively, you can reach the 980 VP cap exclusively by running tier 2 Heroics.
The 980 VP you can earn from running tier 1 and tier 2 random Heroic dungeons will count towards your weekly overall cap of 1250 VP.
And, as stated before, if you want to maximize your VP gains, you can still reach the overall weekly cap of 1250 by defeating raid level content.
What do you think? Personally, I'll enjoy being able to run all of my Heroics on a day that I can dedicate the time rather than sitting in queues every day, but how do you think this will affect Dungeon Finder queue dura

PTR Shows New Daily Dungeon System + New Wowhead Feature: Event Calendar
There are a lot of in-game events nowadays. There are Call to Arms for battlegrounds some of us still haven't set foot in, the Darkmoon Faire is always coming and going, and then there are things like actual holidays and fishing tournaments. Keeping track of them can be confusing--or at least it
was
confusing. That all changes today as we've now added
an event calendar
to Wowhead that will show you what's going on in Azeroth right from the comfort of your own browser.
http://www.wowhead.com/events#calendar
Since it was an otherwise slow day, we also hopped on the PTR to confirm whether or not the daily dungeon had been changed--and it has! Players will now be able to do seven dungeons a week instead of one dungeon per day. Cue sighs of relief from everyone, I'm sure. I'd personally rather do seven dungeons in a row with a group of guildmates over the weekend than squeeze one in every day.
There were some new graphic setting

Patch 4.1 - PTR Build 13750 - 3D Models (Lions and Ice Cream and Bears, Oh My!)
That's right -
ice cream
. There weren't very many new models this patch but the ones that were included definitely stand out. In addition, we've (also) decided to post the winged lion model that you may have already seen floating around other sites. This model was actually added a few builds ago but looks rather unfinished at this time. We will, of course, post an updated version as soon as its available. So... what do you think it is?
In addition to the lion, we've also got a new Amani Bear model which is simply a recoloring of the old
Kriegsbär der Amani
. No word yet on whether or not this is the finished version of the upcoming
Kampfbär der Amani
, or simply a dungeon NPC or otherwise, but judging by the fact that the Zul'Gurub raptor looks to have gotten a recolor as well, this may be the case. Laaaaaaaaaaame. Oh, well!
Also, ICE CREAMS. OM NOM NOM.

Patch 4.1 - PTR Build 13750 - Karazhan Maps Finally Here
When we were hit with
a lot of new maps last week
unexpectedly, everyone kept asking where Karazhan was. The answer was apparently in this build.
There are
a lot
more maps after the break--you didn't forget how big Karazhan is, did you?
Also, it looks like the new boss in
Baradinfestung
that was added in last weeks set of maps is now removed which means this patch is definitely on track to be released before the new arena season starts.

Patch 4.1 - PTR Build 13750 - New Icons, Items, and Spell Changes
A new PTR patch has just been released. There have been the usual things you've come to expect--tooltip fixes, minor spell tweaks, and so on--mostly in response to last night's
PTR Patch Note update
. However, in this build there are also new items datamined, new icons, and some new maps which we'll cover in another post.
Notable changes include:
New items like
Heimgesuchte Kriegstrommel
,
Trinkhorn der Vrykul

Uralter Bernstein
have been added--these look like archaeology finds to me! Perhaps Blizzard is making good on their word to add new things for us to dig up

Patch 4.1 - Zul'Aman and Zul'Gurub Items on PTR
As I'm sure many of you have noticed, the upcoming patch 4.1 marks the return of the classic
Zul'Aman

raids as 5-player Heroic dungeons, featuring item level 353 epic quality loot! These items have just shown up in the latest PTR data and we've got 'em! Unfortunately, the items are not yet implemented as drops and do not yet feature unique models, so we do not yet have specific boss drop data or pretty 3D models - yet! However, as soon as the information is available, we'll definitely update - so stay tuned!

Patch 4.1 - PTR Build 13726 - Spell Changes
A new PTR patch has just been released, and with it came a few minor class changes and (mostly) a bunch of tooltip and typo fixes. Many of these class changes were previously announced with last week's
PTR patch notes update
.
The only particularly notable change in this latest set of spell diffs:
Jäger
-
Mehrfachschuss
and
Ablenkender Schuss
now have a 40 yard range, up from 35 yards.
Priester
- If the tooltip change is to be believed, it appears that the
buff duration has been removed. This means that
states will no longer expire after 1 minute and instead last indefinitely until cancelled or changed.

Blizzard Posts on Upcoming 4.1 Features (Including Guild Challenges!)
It looks like Patch 4.1 will include a feature we weren't expecting -
guild challenges
! I'm sure many of you remember the
heated discussion regarding guild reputation
on the official forums a while back, where many players suggested adding guild quests as a method of earning reputation and experience. Looks like Blizzard agreed! We don't have any details yet on these quests or what they'll entail or reward, but you can be sure that as soon as the information is available we'll bring it to you!
Warriors and clothies will be happy to learn that ZA/ZG will also feature appropriately itemized pre-raid ranged slot weapons, something that many players were extremely disappointed over the Justice Points vendor lacking. In addition, as a little something for archaeologists - players will appropriately leveled archaeology will be able to unlock the new Edge of Madness bosses in Zul'Gurub! Players may recall that in Classic Zul'Gurub, this event required an alchemist to farm annoying materials (

Patch 4.1 - 3D Models - Huge Assortment of Firelands Raid + PVP Weapons
Wow! We've found a
ton
of new weapon models for you guys to check out, featuring loot from the upcoming (well, patch 4.2)
Firelands Raid
as well as new PVP weapons! Each item features tons of recolors, so it's uncertain as to which ones will be used when they are assigned to live items. In the meantime, you should definitely check them all out!
Of course, remember that even though these items were found in the 4.1 PTR files, we will most likely not see the items that they are attached to until 4.2 hits the PTRs (unless they start showing us Firelands raid goodies sooner, like those
trinkets
)!
It's been a while since we've had such a huge assortment of new weapon models to show off and we're really excited to find more as new PTR patches come out, so keep checking the blog!
