Will Curve for ToS be removed when 7.3 comes out or when new raid comes out ?


As with previous Legion raids, AotC for Tomb will not be removed until Antorus is released.

There seems to be a bug in 7.3 where Enhancement Shamans will drop Fury of Air if they enter Ghostwolf. Is this intended?


We're working on a hotfix for this. Once the hotfix is applied, Fury of Air should be active in Ghost Wolf form.

Unsullied tokens can be mailed to your alts. This is similar to systems you might recall from Timeless Isle or Tanaan Jungle.

All Artifact appearances—with the exception of the Mage Tower and Mythic Keystone 15 challenge appearances—can be obtained after Legion ends.

If you unlock the Mage Tower's base appearance before the end of the expansion, you can obtain the color variants for that appearance post-Legion.

If you earn the Mythic Keystone 15 achievement during Legion, you can complete Balance of Power any time after Legion ends to unlock the appearance that requires both.

Rewards from tomorrow's chest cap at Mythic 10*. Thereafter, a Mythic Keystone 11-15 will again reward higher level items.

Also, the Antorus launch raises the global ilvl to 985, the ilvl for new legendaries to 1000, and you can start the quest to upgrade existing legendaries.

Will Argus gear be updating and added to the drop tables of the relinquished vendor on the Vindicar?


Relinquished Tokens from Thaumaturge Vashreen do not include gear from Antorus, just as the Broken Shore version did not include gear from Tomb of Sargeras.

Do we have to get the quest to upgrade legos BEFORE opening our weekly M+ chest? Or will the Wakening Essence NOT drop otherwise?


You'll receive Wakening Essence in the weekly chest if you have any legendaries to upgrade, even if you haven't started the upgrade quest.

Hey Do you have to pickup the cursed shard item first before you grab the titanic effort quest because just did some lfr an daily heroic did not receive it.


The Cursed Shard's purpose is to lead players to start the "Titanic Effort" quest, so it's obvious how to use Wakening Essences.

If you’re already on that quest, you didn’t miss anything.

To expand on this: "The Cursed Shard" does not reward any Wakening Essence upon completion. Its only purpose is to lead you to Arcanomancer Vridiel.

We, among many other guilds, are experiencing mines, that have been up for some time, self-detonating at the same time causing wipes. Could you clarify if this is intended or a bug? Having 8/9 mines explode because people are doing well is crushing.


This is intended. After a period of time, mines on Antoran High Command detonate on their own. In a recent hotfix, we added a warning visual that shows when a mine is about to explode.

This is an effect of the world scaling introduced in patch 7.3.5. Materials you receive from disenchanting are now based on the item’s expansion level, not its item level. For example, Burning Crusade-era items disenchant to Burning Crusade-era materials.

Nightborne racials aren't really good for Melee classes compared to old races. Any intentions to bring NB on par to make them more appealing (FWIW : 3K difference between 1st and last old race while NB are 25k behind)?

There's been some debating going on in the guild about the line "the maximum XP boost you will see from today onwards is 50%" in the RAF post. Does this mean that things like DMF buff and Garrison buff don't stack with Heirlooms, if you're 50%?


The XP bonus from Recruit a Friend is the only form of bonus experience that has a maximum of 50%.
Heirlooms stack with other bonuses, like the Darkmoon Faire one, in the same way they did before the change.

Some storylines that are part of Good Suramaritan—for example, “Jandvik’s Jarl” or “Moon Guard Stronghold”—are not directly related to the Nightfallen storyline.
These unrelated quests do not reward reputation with the Nightfallen faction.

Is Moonrest Shore still in Val'sharah? I think it might have been there at launch and replaced with Verdant Cliffs (falcosaur area), but there doesn't seem to be any information anywhere about it.


Moonrest Shore was an early name for Moonrest. The thinking was that you could see the shore from there. But you can't, really, because the trees block your view of the shore. Which is fine. They're lovely trees. Very restful.

When prestige goes account wide is all of our characters prestige levels going to merge? Or just taking the highest prestige we have earned on 1 char?


In Battle for Azeroth, all of your Prestige levels are going to merge. So if you have three characters who reached Prestige 4 in Legion, your account will be set to Prestige 12 in Battle for Azeroth.

Correction to this tweet: the merge will be to Honor earned account-wide. So two characters at exactly Prestige 1 will not result in Prestige 2 after the merge, but you also don't have to finish a Prestige level for that Honor to count.

Is it intended that auto attacks are doing so much damage across every class on Beta? Not trying to be rude with this question, I'm actually just curious if it's an intended design or a consequence of tuning at the moment.

With the new beta build, honor levels go up to 500, with the current rewards scaling as well. So the final mount is rank 250. Are current ranks scaling as well or are we going to have to re-grind existing rewards to get to the ones we missed? like 25 jumping to 250?


The Legion Prestige rewards are all available in the new Battle For Azeroth Honor system, but the pacing isn’t exactly the same. Anyone who earned a reward in Legion will keep it in Battle For Azeroth, even if they don’t meet the new requirements.
