Do I need to stockpile brawler's guild shirts, or will there be a window when the brawler's guild and transmog system overlap?


You don’t have to keep them. If you dispose of them today, they’ll be in Wardrobe, since they're quest rewards.

With Legion having alot of legendaries will we be able to transmog them. If not, can we atleast hide Helm/Cloak legendaries?


You will be able to transmog Legion legendaries to other appearances and vice versa.

artifact trait cost seems to double after 12 ranks, ~575 to 1260 for rank 13? intended?


Yes; after 12 traits you are transitioning past the level-up experience. Around that time, you will accrue Artifact Knowledge which will increase the rate at which you gain Artifact Power overall.

in Legion pvp will secondary stats be normalized too? If I want to do a mastery build in pvp will it just get flattened out?


Correct. The secondary stats on your gear will not matter in PvP instances.

What happened to the awesome class titles like Highlord that you got from completing the artifact quest in alpha?


Felt premature to award titles like those so quickly. They are now earned by completing your Class Order campaign.

Any word on how gear will work in world PVP? Stats, pve set bonuses, legendaries, etc? Will I need to pve to wPVP optimally?


Gear will not be adjusted in World PvP and all bonuses, legendaries, etc will work. Anything goes!

I see Lyana Darksorrow in Shal'Aran gives us a bounty style quest for Apexis crystals are these meant to be Ancient Mana?


We are going to remove these specific quests in a future build, so these placeholder rewards have not been updated.

It's pretty silly that in the DH intro quests, you are unable to pick a talent at 99 because "you're not in a rest area" :/


This is a bug, fixed next build. You should always be able to pick a talent if you have none in a row.

I've been hearing that you need 300 profession skill to proc profession world quests, intended for release?


Yes, this is intended. Otherwise, it becomes too easy to switch professions daily to earn more world quest rewards.

Some datamining from the latest Legion beta build shows some Death Knight talents have moved. That's incorrect - they're staying put.

People have to do /console autoSelfCast 1 to be able to heal themselves.

Another build and still no Shadow dance paging/stance macro ability, come on guys.


Not a bug, but we hear the feedback. This requires adjustment in the short term, but we believe it is for the best.

At the PTR, honor talents are active and obtainable at lvl 100, which seems nice as prepatch content for pvpers. Just wondering if it will be obtainable when prepatch launches or if it is intended to begin at lvl 110?


This is a PTR bug. Honor (and honor talents) won't be available until level 110. Players below 110 earn XP instead.

Currently, Obliterum does not work on Jewelcafting rings. Intended? Only useful for LW/BS/Tailor/Eng?


This is a bug that will be fixed in a later build. Obliterum should work on max-level Jewelcrafting necks and rings!

The Arena Master achievement will change to a Feat of Strength and no longer be obtainable in Legion.

Can the Darkmoon Deck: Trinkets be upgraded through obliterum? The information in-game doesn't indicate it.


They should be upgradable, and they will be soon on Beta. Thanks for the heads up!

So is uh.. there a reason the Nightfallen emissary gives 200 rep and every other one gives 1500? :|


Nightfallen rep is on a different pace from others, but initial tuning was off. Emissary will return to 1500.

What's the intent behind Potion of Deadly Grace? It seems to do nothing at all for casters...


Rather than granting stats, it grants a proc that deals extra damage. Numbers will be buffed in the next Beta build.

Some recipes are unbound and drop for everyone. Give it to an alt, drop it in the guild bank, or sell it!

Can you confirm Design: Rhinestone Sunglasses dropping properly on US servers? all confirmed drops are EU players


Either those EU players got lucky, or they care more about sunglasses than US. The recipe drops all over the world.

Mobs in Legion zones scale just by character level and not item level correct? Some misnformation has been going around.


Legion's world scaling is only based on player level.

Is it intended for EN and NH to have same ilvl? We were at 890+ ilvl for some tests. How could we ever get there?


Nighthold gear is better. Early testing had an increased item level to compensate for unleveled artifacts.
