      • Developer's note: This quest and its power rewards are intended to help players overcome difficult raid challenges over time even as power from gear acquisition slows naturally. Players can expect a small amount of additional damage and healing done up to every two weeks if they collect all available Nerub-ar Finery (8 per week with a rising cap), up to a maximum of 18% after completing the quest eight times. Players who enter the raid late or fall behind will find that they are able to rapidly catch up within several weeks, with even faster initial catchup ensuring they can keep up with their fellow raiders.

Professions

  • Cooking
    • Chefs can now salvage the materials of enemies throughout Khaz Algar to create the perfect recipe for their needs.
      • Developer's note: The intention of salvaging enemy materials is to encourage passive progress toward Cooking in a way that allows players to do whatever content they wish. We want players to cook without understanding the entire ecosystem of a particular zone or what specific enemy drops a material in a specific area. A Secondary Profession should be direct, easy to start, and offer a reasonable level of complexity for highly engaged players.
    • Chefs can now combine their favorite meals into a 'Hearty' version that persists through death.
      • Developer's note: The Alchemical Flavor Pocket was a massive success with significant downsides. Its acquisition led to players feeling priced out of acquiring the embellishment via the auction house, and while it didn't count towards the Embellishment cap, it did require a piece of crafted equipment to slot into. In The War Within, we're bringing this quality-of-life feature into the Cooking ecosystem. Preparing ingredients found from enemies throughout Khaz Algar allows steady progress towards crafting and sharing these valuable meals amongst your Warband. Hearty Meals will be automatically available to Chefs upon reaching 25 Skill, and Hearty Feasts will be automatically available to dedicated Chefs upon reaching 100 Skill.
  • Fishing
    • Anglers will now discover journal entries detailing important fish they catch throughout Khaz Algar. These entries will give valuable information regarding each fish, such as the zones and pools where they can be found.
    • Captain Oathmyt, outside of Mereldar, will give a quest for the Hallowfall Fishing Derby every Saturday. This event lasts 24 hours, and Anglers will have 1 hour to catch all the fish listed by the quest. Catching fish during this quest will award players with Mereldar Derby Marks that can be used to purchase a variety of cosmetics, recipes, and treasures from Captain Oathmyt.
      • Developer's note: The goal of the Hallowfall Derby is to provide a community event that is mostly an individual competition. Learning about each fish through the Fishing Journal, improving your Fishing Skill, and preparing for the event with baits and locations ahead of time will lead to the most success. Every minute counts!
  • Tailoring
    • Cloth drops from humanoids, usable by Tailors, will only drop for characters with the Tailoring profession.

    • Several map icons have updated artwork. These include: archaeology (gold), digsites, portals, and pet battles.
