New Models
Several new character models have been added for notable NPCs whose stories have been evolving over the course of
Battle for Azeroth
, as well as the long awaited Goblin and Worgen race updates.
Worgen Updates
Once a new and improved race, Worgen have gone without updates since being introduced in the Cataclysm, and their overall form is not much changed, though the new models now have more bones and better definition in some areas. There's a lot to look at, including new skins, eyes, hair, and faces, so make sure to

Heritage Armor
Although Heritage Armor for the updated Goblin & Worgen races was initially announced to be a part of Patch 8.2.5, CM Kaivax confirmed that the
Armor will come at a later date
, clarifying that they will be in
a future update
, presumed to be Patch 8.3.
Blizzard
We are getting Worgen and Goblin Heritage armor questlines in a future content update.
We think it’s really cool to have these memorable questing experiences that go along with and encapsulate the moment when you inherit your Heritage armor. We’re working on bringing them to the game as soon as we can.
For players that just can't wait to see what Heritage Armor might look like for the two races, we put together some speculation based on
Worgen and Goblin artwork
present in other Blizzard games.
Important NPCs
Wrathion, Calia Menethil, Zekhan, and Valeera Sanguinar have also received new models.
Check out our recap
to learn more about these NPCs and why they may be important to the future of the story.
There are also
Voice Overs
for several prominent characters, largely revolving around Wrathion, and the Old Gods.
WoW's 15th Anniversary
Blizzard is celebrating
WoW's 15th anniversary
in a big way, with not one but two in-game events with a total of three mounts! In addition, everyone who logs on during the anniversary event will automatically receive the
battle pet.
Blizzard
This November marks the 15th anniversary of World of Warcraft, and we have some special things planned to celebrate the occasion. Players who log in during the event period will receive a celebration package in the mail with a Lil’ Nefarian pet and some other in-game goodies. Throughout the duration of the event, you’ll be able to participate in three unique raids with iconic encounters from past expansions along with an old-school-inspired Alterac Valley battleground. Players who defeat all nine bosses in the raid wings will receive the Obsidian Worldbreaker, a Black Dragonflight mount inspired by Deathwing. Players who participate in Alterac Valley will receive a new anniversary event currency which can be exchanged for two new mounts: the Stormpike Battle Charger (Alliance) and the Frostwolf Snarler (Horde).
Worldbreaker
The PvE event will involve revisiting three notable bosses from
The Burning Crusade
,
Wrath of the Lich King
, and
Cataclysm
through an LFR style system similar to the
Molten Core Revisited
raid done for the 10th anniversary.
NEW
Chromie's Memory: Burning Crusade
NEW
Chromie's Memory: Wrath of the Lich King
NEW
Chromie's Memory: Cataclysm
Defeating all nine bosses and completing
will reward the
mount, inspired by Deathwing!
Alterac Valley
The PvP event adds a special "old school" version of Alterac Valley, reminiscent of its vanilla gamestate, so expect long drawn out games and plenty of boss summons. Completing
will award a
new mount
for
each faction
, high-resolution versions of the original exalted reputation mounts
and
.
There also appear to be Timewarped versions of the Alterac Valley reputation items
and
, but no details on whether they're awarded through the battleground or simply new items on the regular vendors.
Recruit a Friend
Recruit-a-Friend is returning with a
new system and new rewards
, which we
previously datamined
, including two mounts and an armor set.
The initial preview, seen below, has now been expanded in great detail - players may link their account with up to 10 "new recruits", defined as new players and accounts which have not bought game time within 2 years. Like the previous systems, RAF players may teleport to one another with
Friend-to-Friend Summoning
(on a 30 minute cooldown) and receive 50% bonus experience when partied together. New to this version of RAF is a "game time bounty" series of rewards, whenever one of your linked account friends buys game time, you will earn progress toward several new rewards; game time is cumulative across your friends, so whether 6 friends buy one month each or one friend buys 6 months, you will earn the
either way.
- 1 Month
Game Time – 2 Months
– 3 Months
Title: – 4 Months
Game Time – 5 Months
– 6 Months
– 7 Months
Game Time – 8 Months
– 9 Months
– 10 Months
Game Time – 11 Months
Renowned Explorer’s Attire – 12 Months
Dunetrekker Mount
The mount appears as though it may have room for two, similar to
previous RAF mounts
.
Renowned Explorer's Armor
This set looks a bit like a highly-detailed Twill set with additional 3D embellishments on the belt, helm, chest, and sleeves. You can preview the outfit in the
dressing room
.
Other Rewards
Blizzard recently revealed the
new Recruit-A-Friend rewards
which unlock as linked accounts purchase game time. Up to 10 friends can be linked, and as they add game time, you will unlock various tiered prizes.
1 month reward
9 month reward
New Content
Party Sync
Party Sync is a major new feature coming in Patch 8.2.5 which allows players to revisit previous quests and storylines when partying with lower level players, in order to help prevent players being separated by phasing, a major benefit for the Recruit-A-Friend system.
Click here to see more details on the Party Sync Feature
Blizzard
During this PTR we’re experimenting with a new mode that makes it easier for players in a party to do quests and play together: Party Sync. When players activate Party Sync, everyone in the party becomes aligned to the same quest state, including phases. By mousing over a quest in your tracker, you can see who is on the quest, what their progress is, and who’s ready to turn in the quest. There’s something else we’re going to try out on the PTR, a “replay” quest feature. This will allow players who have already completed certain quests to replay those quests with their friends for rewards that are appropriate to their current level, regardless of the original level of the quest.
We’re also relaxing level restrictions on queueing for instanced content with your friends. This allows lower-level players to queue for content in their level range, and higher-level players can choose to join them by having their level scaled down while they’re in the instance. This feature will be available for dungeon instances for PTR Week 1, with PvP instances being flagged in the following weeks. Please note that unlike Timewalking, when your level is scaled down via Party Sync you will temporarily lose access to abilities and powers (such as Azerite traits) with requirements that exceed your reduced level.
Finding Wrathion's Journal
In addition to receiving a new model, a new quest line revolving around
the enigmatic Black Prince
has appeared on the Patch 8.2.5 PTR. Although Wrathion hasn't been seen in-game since
Mists of Pandaria
, his presence has been felt in every expansion since, however faint. His Black Talon agents recently began appearing in Nazjatar, watching events in our struggle against Queen Azshara and N'Zoth unfold, and given the Black Dragon's previous scorched earth approach to combating threats against Azeroth, who knows what the plans he might have in store.
If you just can't get enough, check out our lore speculation regarding Wrathion, the information uncovered in his journal, and what he may have planned for the future of
Battle for Azeroth
, check out our
detailed lore speculation
.
Dreamgrove Murder Mystery
Who doesn't love a Murder Mystery Dinner Party?
The Druids of the Dreamgrove are investigating the murder of some bunnies
. We're not sure how this quest fits into the overall story, and many of the lines of dialogue are marked as or "Do Not Translate," implying they are unfinished or will not be used in the finished version of the game.
There isn't much to go off of so far, as it appears largely unfinished, but given the relation of the Dreamgrove and Emerald Dream with the current Old Gods storyline, it may be a small stepping stone to a bigger storyline coming in Patch 8.3, similar to Xalatath's quest in patch 8.1.5.
Honeyback Harvester
The longest awaited mount of
Battle for Azeroth
is finally buzzing its way in with the addition of the
Honeyback Hive Faction
, an Alliance only reputation which involves helping a hive of displaced bees and raising one of their young as your very own mount, awarding the
.
Firelands Timewalking
A new Timewalking raid is being added, similar to the previously reintroduced Black Temple and Ulduar Timewalking.
Blizzard
When Cataclysm Timewalking is active, max-level players will be able to form a raid group and enter the Sulfuron Spire once more. As with previous Timewalking raids (Black Temple, Ulduar), your gear and power are scaled to the challenge, and all the bosses and rewards you expect lie in wait.
Changes & Updates
Class Changes
We've already been warned not expected many class changes, though a few minor ones have popped up on the PTR so far.
Unstable Affliction deals additional damage, and casting Unstable Affliction reducereduces the cooldown of Summon Darkglare by (1000 / 1000) sec.
Every 1500000 damage and healing done you gain Omnipotence, increasing your highest stat by 97112 for 15 sec. You heal for 5% of all Arcane damage taken.
Embassy Updates
The Stormwind and Orgrimmar Embassies
have been updated
with several new and moved NPCs, most notably the faction leaders are no longer present. This could tease at a storyboard update for those characters, or may simply be a world update intended to avoid having certain characters present in multiple areas of the capital cities at the same time.
Thex NPC in-game tribute
Thex became an overnight sensation, following a
seemingly innocuous Reddit post
in which a user excited about Classic made the mistake of announcing their desired name to the world, shortly before name reservations were made available. While several redditors quickly jumped on the bandwagon of also proclaiming themselves,
Thex, Troll Shaman
, Blizzard beat everyone to the punch - using the name for a brand new tribute NPC in Patch 8.2.5.
Collectables
Several new collectables are coming, including Flower Crowns, new Tier 1 Ensembles, and Illusions, primarily tied to Recruit a Friend, the 15th Anniversary, and Firelands Timewalking. Check them out in either this
quick overview
, or
directly in our database
for hundreds of new additions.
Pets
A handful of beautiful butterflies have been datamined, with multiple variations of
. According to
Blizzard's blog post
, these are available from Stormsong Valley.
Blizzard
Papi: Legend has it that these purple butterflies came from a place called Devil’s Island.
Drop: Fresh Jelly Deposit in Stormsong Valley.
Sunsoaked Flitter: The wings of this butterfly start off with no distinct color, but slowly change to yellow as they spend time in the sunlight.
Drop: Fresh Jelly Deposit in Stormsong Valley.
Crimson Skipper: This butterfly is stained red from the blood of its enemies.
Drop: Honey Smasher.
Class Customizations
There are several new cosmetic customizations available to various classes, and in the spirit of the Honeyback Harvester many of them involve bees.
Hunter
Your Dire Beast ability calls on spiders more often. Why? Because everyone is afraid of spiders.
Your Dire Beast ability calls on bees!! DIRE BEES!!!
Your Dire Beast ability often calls for beasts victimized by the famed hunter.
Your Dire Beast often calls forth dire versions of your stabled pets.
Mage
(Mage): Your Conjure Food table is now a more lavish affair.
Rogue
(Rogue): Your fingers are covered in honey, making them incredibly sticky.
Shaman
(Shaman): Transforms the enemy into a living honey for 1 min. While hexed, the victim is incapacitated, and cannot attack or cast spells. Damage may cancel the effect. Limit 1. Only works on Humanoids and Beasts.
UI
Several new UI elements have been found, although without much information as to tell whether they may be temporary, PTR only, or still a work in progress, so we suggest taking them with a grain of salt.
Level 120 Boosts (NYI)
The 8.2.5 PTR has added data related to
level 120 character boosts
, though there is no indication of them coming any time soon. Every expansion has raised the boost level in preparation for future content, so this is not a new service or separate purchase, and likely just background support for the eventual 9.0 expansion.
Select Screen
The character selection screen has been updated to
show the character's faction
alongside the name, class, and level. While this has led to an alarming amount of speculation regarding what might happen in the next expansion, it's also just as likely to be a simple quality of life improvement for players with many alts across both factions.
Email or Phone
The PTR log-in screen now prompts players to enter either their
account email or phone number
, implying a new log-in method coming in Patch 8.2.5. So far we have no other clarifying information.
Final Destination Button for Quests
Click here for more information
Ever tried to turn in a quest and the recommended route takes you through multiple portals, when you really only needed to take one? Patch 8.2.5 solves this issue by adding a "Show Final Destination" button, which quickly shows you the turn-in location so you can plan your own route. Don't worry, if you get lost, you can "Show Travel Route" to get back the recommended route once again

Great way to keep everything together! Now I don't have to search through 20+ pages to find all these goodies.

Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to the model updates.
But otherwise so far this patch has me nervous. Sure, there's maintenance. Expanding of existing systems like Timewalking. Improvements to grouping and Recruit-A-Friend.
But storywise so far, there's only the Wrathion thing. No progression of the War Campaign. We ended on a cliffhanger there. I certainly hope Blizzard isn't planning to leave us hanging there until patch 8.3 with nothing of note happening in the mean time that we get to see? Hopefully it's merely still to be added and I'm worried over nothing.

In the glyphs section, it should be more clearly marked which ones are entirely new and which ones are simply updated.

You've posted the old low ress model of the Stormpike Battle Charger instead of the new high ress model.

Wow, Valeera's actually showing some skin. Didn't expect to see much of that from Blizzard anymore.
Nice.

Does this recruit-a-friend actually makes (old and new) people come (back) to the game ? Or is it just a way to make people already playing spend 120 bucks (at least) on a new account to get those rewards ?
It seems to me this is just a way of selling transmogs and mounts for more than a hundred bucks.
Those mounts and mogs look really cool, I know for a fact that I don't know any people interested in trying out wow, even less so paying for 12 months, so too bad I guess
