Brawler's Guild in WoD
Brawler's Guild is once again active on the beta and there are some changes.
There is a "new season" and everyone is back to Rank 1, even if you were at max reputation in Mists of Pandaria. All fights have been retuned for level 100.
There are level 100 versions of Brawler's Guild potions now.
Brawler's Draenic Agility Potion
,
Brawler's Draenic Intellect Potion
,
Brawler's Draenic Strength Potion
are potions anyone can use, and
Brawler's Bottomless Draenic Agility Potion
,
Brawler's Bottomless Draenic Intellect Potion
, and
Brawler's Bottomless Draenic Strength Potion
(not consumed when you use) cost and require Rank 4.
The Brassiest Knuckle
is no longer sold, and in its place is
Pit Fighter's Punching Ring
for . This ring, unlike the MoP version, has appropriate stats for each spec.
As we've covered in our
Preparing for 6.0 Guide
, Brawler's Guild achievements for killing bosses before 6.0 are being moved to Legacy Feats of Strength--
click here for a full list
. There are
new achievements for killing the level 100 versions of these bosses
in Warlords of Draenor and they reward the same vanity items, titles, etc. The other achievements are not going anywhere, like
Haters Gonna Hate (Season 2)
and
I'm Your Number One Fan (Season 2)
.

Tier 17 Boss Loot Tables
The Warlords of Draenor dungeon journal was updated yesterday with loot tables.
Highmaul
is 10 ilvls lower than
Blackrock Foundry
loot.
Raid Finder loot is ilvl 640 in
Highmaul
, ilvl 650 in
Blackrock Foundry
and is different than the other difficulties--the trinkets are not as overpowered, no tier gear drops, and different models.
Normal loot is ilvl 655 in
Highmaul
and ilvl 665 in
Blackrock Foundry
.
Heroic loot is ilvl 670 in
Highmaul
and ilvl 680 in
Blackrock Foundry
.
Mythic loot is ilvl 685 in
Highmaul
and ilvl 695 in
Blackrock Foundry
.
The following bosses in
Blackrock Foundry
drop Tier 17:
Kromog
: Helms
Foreman Feldspar
: Legs
Operator Thogar
: Shoulders
Flamebender Ka'graz
: Chest
Iron Maidens
: Gloves
Blackhand
drops tokens like
Essence of the Iron Protector
which presumably turn into any tier piece, similar to
Garrosh Hellscream
and
Essence of the Cursed Protector
.
Note that Kargath and Gruul appear to share loot--this is most likely a bug on Blizzard's end as the in-game journal has the same issue.

Garrison Outpost Guide: Zone-Wide Perks, Quests, Followers
This guide covers everything you need to know about Garrison Outposts in Warlords of Draenor--how to unlock them, their zone-wide perks, and any associated quests and followers!
Garrison Outposts do
not
work like your Garrison hub--you cannot construct and level up additional buildings there. What you do get are special zone-wide perks and questchains that reward followers and currency to buy higher-level Garrison blueprints.
In four zones, you have the option to choose between two unique outpost themes, and you can have all four outposts active at once across zones. There are eight potential outpost themes and the Alliance and Horde have different artwork. We've taken pictures of all sixteen options!
You can later switch an outpost in a zone, at level 100, for . Just talk to the person who originally gave you the outpost choice in each zone.

Introducing Battle.net OAuth Login on Wowhead and Hearthhead
Today we're proud to announce a new site feature and partnership with Blizzard--
Battle.net OAuth Log-in
. This means that you can use your Battle.net account to log on to Wowhead and Hearthhead.
What are the benefits to attaching your Battle.net account to your Wowhead account?
Logging in with your Battle.net account is as simple as clicking a button, instead of entering a User Name and Password.
All of your Battle.net characters are automatically Verified when you look them up on Wowhead's Profiler--perfect for
Beta Key Giveaways
.
All of your Battle.net characters show up under "My Profiles" automatically in the "Import" submenu.
Profiles now have the option to be public or private.
"Pinning" a character (clicking on the heart) brings up your character's avatar next to your user name.
A new site achievement!
Robin Williams Has An In-Game Genie NPC
An NPC called
Robin
with a genie model is in the Warlords Data! A few days ago, Blizzard was tweeting that they'd be adding an in-game tribute to Robin Williams.
Genie gif courtesy of
Kotaku
.
There are also two additional Robin NPCs with
alternate
models
--we think the
female one
is a reference to Mrs Doubtfire. Perhaps he'll tell jokes in Draenor and have costume changes?
WoD Beta: Updated Profession and Toy Box Guides, Spell Pages Revamp, Community Item Tributes
We have even more guides updated today, in addition to the updated
battle pet
,
garrison
, and
class guides
from last evening!

datamined info from yesterday
and
Garrison Inn Quests
.
Toy Box Guide Updated
Each build, several more items are added to the Toy Box. The most notable addition is
Autographed Hearthstone Card
, which is a reward for completing the Garrison Mission
Hearthstone Tournament
. As shown in the screenshot, the "threats" you face are popular Hearthstone decks.
We update our
Warlords of Draenor Toy Box Guide
every build with additions, removals, screenshots, and tips on how to get the vanity items.
Click here to see our WoD Toy Box Guide
Community Tributes
Last night we datamined items named after Wowhead Staff
--we briefly mentioned them, but didn't cover it in-depth as we were busy working!
Here's a closer look at the staff who received items--thanks to all the Wowhead fans who made this possible by using our site :)
Aryu's Puzzle Ring
: This item is named after
Aryu
, a Wowhead developer! Aryu raided in Ensidia before starting at Wowhead in 2011. He handles all of the data for Wowhead, including datamining at 3 am, presenting Blizzard's data in more user-friendly ways, and adjusting the database to handle unannounced data changes on Blizzard's end so our tools keep working. The flavor text refers to the constant process of datamining and discovering data changes.
Ashelia's Adorned Waistguard
: Ashelia became the site director for Wowhead in 2011! Under her guidance, the
Transmog Sets
database and
Guides
were launched, as well as user-favorite contests like the
database scavenger hunts
. She was also instrumental in growing our News section to cover more beta/PTR coverage and datamining changes. Ashelia also helped acquire
LolKing
--she spends most of her time there now, but you may catch her on Wowhead/Hearthhead setting up contests or helping with news!
Erorus' Ledger of Trade
