World of Warcraft PTR Patch 3.1.0
Quests
- The fight event for the “Grim(oire) Business” quest at Vim’gol’s Circle in the Blade’s Edge Mountains now only requires one character to stand within a fire circle in order to summon Vim’gol the Vile. However, it still takes five characters, one in each of the fire circles, in order to interrupt Vim’gol the Vile’s Unholy Growth cast.
- Horde characters may now obtain the quest “CLUCK!” from Chickens. While Farmer Saldean won’t be selling Special Chicken Feed to the Horde, perhaps “Westfall” William Saldean in Brill might…
Dungeons and Raids
- New dungeon maps have been added for all Wrath of the Lich King dungeons.
- Eye of Eternity
- Malygos will now properly delay before breathing after a Vortex on Heroic difficulty.
- Naxxramas
- The Chains of Kel’Thuzad will no longer reset the raid’s threat.
- The Portal of Shadows created by Shade of Naxxramas will only persist for a maximum of one minute.
- Players with pets who attempt to use the Obedience Crystals in Naxxramas will have their pets dismissed automatically so they may possess an Understudy.
- Vault of Archavon
- Archavon, Emalon, and their allies will now banish themselves 10 minutes prior to the beginning of a Lake Wintergrasp battle. A warning will be given 15 minutes prior to the start of Wintergrasp. They will not banish themselves if in combat.
