Anduin Wrynn Quests in Patch 7.2 (Spoilers)
Anduin Wrynn, now the King of Stormwind, plays a role in the Broken Shore in Patch 7.2 with the discovery of his father's
Battered Trinket
. As this is a major lore figure, we've included full details on his new quests under a cut to be on the safe side and respect spoilers.
The video below covers the first quest in the series,
A Found Memento
, on the 7.2 PTR. The remaining quests are discussed under the spoiler tag in the full article.
Everything to Do on the Broken Shore in Patch 7.2
7.2 brings with it a new zone: the Broken Shore, a cross between the Timeless Isle and Tanaan Jungle. We've rounded up here all the things you'll need to know about what there is to do, including World Quests, the Sentinax Event, constructing buildings, and farming Nethershards.
Patch 7.2 Broken Shore Buildings Overview
The Broken Shore zone added in Patch 7.2 introduces buildings players must fortify and rebuild: Nether Disruptor, Command Center, or Mage Tower. These buildings provide temporary powerful zone buffs and character perks.
Learn more about how to unlock these buildings and their perks in our preview!
Nethershard Currency in Patch 7.2
Nethershards are an important currency in Patch 7.2, used to purchase Broken Shore reputation and gear items. This past build introduced some tuning to Nethershard droprates, requirements, and costs, so here's a closer look at what changed.
Good news: the
Shard Times
step for
Breaching the Tomb
, a requirement for
Broken Isles Pathfinder, Part Two
, has been lowered from 50,000 Nethershards down to 2,500 Nethershards.
7.2 PTR Development Notes for Build 23657 and Mythic Testing
Blizzard has posted the overview of what's coming in the next 7.2 PTR build. It seems to be a relatively small build focused around bug testing and tweaks, without new types of content or quests to try out. Over the next week, all Tomb of Sargeras bosses except for Kil'jaeden will be tested on Mythic difficulty as well.
There are some wording changes to
Relinquished tokens
coming in this build; namely they will no longer say they have a chance to grant a legendary, but they will still have a small chance to grant one. In these notes, we also learned a bit more about the gearing system on Broken Isles - the Relinquished tokens won't just have a small chance to reward a legendary, they'll also have a chance to reward good dungeon, raid, or PvP gear too.
Unlocking Empowered Artifact Traits in Patch 7.2 - Infiltration Plans and Gilded Scroll Case Quests
In Patch 7.2, players with 35 or more Artifact Traits will be given a special questline to unlock new Empowered artifact traits and 4/4 ranks on their old 3/3 traits. There are several versions of these quests for DPS, healers, and tanks, so we will be previewing all of them over the next few weeks!
Today we are looking at the questlines started by
Infiltration Plans
(tanks) and
Gilded Scroll Case
(some DPS).
Patch 7.2 Sentinax Beacons and Nethershards
This week's 7.2 PTR build introduces the Sentinax, a ship which spawns demons and other challenging creatures that drop Nethershards and crafted items.
