[0:00] Hey folks, this is Khani. Patch 1207
[0:03] goes live on June 16th, and it's shaping
[0:05] up to be quite a large patch with a lot
[0:07] of content to look forward to. We have
[0:09] some new mini zones to explore with
[0:11] openw world difficulty options that let
[0:13] solo players obtain myth track gear.
[0:16] There are new ways to get your hands on
[0:18] myth crests without doing any group
[0:20] content. There's a brand new one boss
[0:22] raids that drops significantly higher
[0:24] item level loot. The Omnium Folio system
[0:27] will provide some large power boosts
[0:29] that will persist through the rest of
[0:30] the Midnight expansion, and we have a
[0:32] bunch of new story content to look
[0:34] forward to. The Turbulent Timewise event
[0:36] returns with all new rewards. There are
[0:38] various updates to the user interface.
[0:40] Some systems were made much more player
[0:42] friendly, and leveling your alts will be
[0:44] much faster when the patch goes live.
[0:47] This patch is jam-packed with new
[0:49] gameplay options and gear catch-ups. So,
[0:51] let's go over everything coming in patch
[0:53] 1207. Now, before we jump in, be sure to
[0:56] hit up that like button and subscribe so
[0:57] you never miss another video. First up,
[1:00] patch 1207 introduces or reintroduces
[1:04] two new minis for us to explore. We'll
[1:06] be venturing back to Val and Nigel, but
[1:09] this time we'll be spending a lot more
[1:10] time here completing quests and farming
[1:13] currencies. Almost every activity in
[1:15] these new zones will reward you with
[1:17] field accolades, including completing
[1:19] world quests, killing rares, and looting
[1:21] treasures. Each rare you kill also has a
[1:24] chance to drop warbound champion gear.
[1:26] So, if you have any alts that you still
[1:28] need to gear up, that might help out a
[1:29] bit there. Both zones also have a new
[1:32] world boss to take down, which can drop
[1:34] warbound champion gear on normal mode or
[1:36] heroic gear on heroic mode. Killing the
[1:39] world bosses also rewards you with a big
[1:41] chunk of field accolades. So, these
[1:43] zones will make it very easy to catch up
[1:45] on gear or get any of your alts up to
[1:47] speed ready for season two. There are
[1:50] also a whole bunch of cosmetic rewards
[1:51] to pick up, including new mounts, pets,
[1:54] and transmog, and plenty of achievements
[1:57] for you to complete. Now, all of these
[1:59] rewards are significantly increased if
[2:01] you enter the zones on heroic mode.
[2:04] Whenever you use a portal to the new
[2:05] zones, you'll get a delveike screen that
[2:07] lets you pick a difficulty. So, you can
[2:10] head in on normal mode or heroic mode.
[2:12] On heroic mode, you'll be earning far
[2:14] more field accolades from every source.
[2:16] rares can drop four of six champion gear
[2:19] instead of one of six, and the world
[2:21] bosses will drop warbound hero gear. So,
[2:23] it's definitely worth upping difficulty
[2:25] if you can handle the heroic mode. This
[2:28] is the first time that we've seen
[2:29] difficulty options for the open world
[2:31] outside of a remix event. So, I am very
[2:34] interested to see how the dev team
[2:36] expands upon this idea in the future.
[2:38] Maybe we'll eventually have difficulty
[2:40] options for every midnight zone like how
[2:43] Legion Remix worked. Or maybe difficulty
[2:45] options for the new zone coming in patch
[2:47] 12.1. But we'll just have to wait and
[2:50] see how this little experiment goes. I
[2:52] guess it's not just additional field
[2:55] accolade farming, though. In heroic
[2:57] mode, you can also pick up a quest that
[2:59] rewards you with a myth track piece of
[3:01] gear. You can choose between a cloak, a
[3:03] belt, or braces. The quest requires you
[3:06] to kill the new world bosses four times
[3:08] on heroic mode, which means it could
[3:10] take up to four weeks to finish this
[3:12] quest, but this is the only source of
[3:14] myth track gear available to solo
[3:16] content players. So, it's definitely
[3:18] worth completing. The weekly quest to
[3:20] take part in the new zones activities
[3:22] has better rewards on heroic mode 2,
[3:24] including some myth quests. So, that's
[3:27] another source of myth crests for solo
[3:29] content players. That doesn't mean that
[3:31] the extra field accolades will be
[3:33] useless, though. will have some new ways
[3:35] to spend this currency. In 1207, you'll
[3:38] now be able to buy hero gear boxes for
[3:40] specific gear slots. So, you can target
[3:42] helms, shoulders, cloaks, whatever item
[3:44] you actually still need. Those gear slot
[3:47] boxes will cost you a bit more, though.
[3:49] They're currently slated for 750 field
[3:52] accolades, which does make them quite
[3:54] pricey. The increased field accolade
[3:56] rewards from the new zones, especially
[3:58] on heroic world tier, should more than
[4:00] make up for that increase, though. You
[4:02] can also buy warbound champion gear for
[4:05] specific gear slots as well. So, not
[4:07] only can you target specific items here,
[4:09] but you can then send those boxes to
[4:11] your alts to help them gear up much
[4:13] faster. Those boxes will cost you 100
[4:15] field accolades each. We'll also have
[4:18] some new ways to spend dark particles.
[4:20] The cosmetic vendor has some bulging
[4:22] bags that you can purchase that contain
[4:24] specific transmogs that have been quite
[4:27] annoying to pick up so far. So you can
[4:29] target Twilight bags, Naga bags, Ammani
[4:32] bags, and Elven bags to try and narrow
[4:34] down your options to earn the transmogs
[4:36] that you're most interested in.
[4:38] Curiously, there are some similar
[4:40] transmog focused bulging bags available
[4:43] from vendors in the new zones that offer
[4:45] up ethereal and winter themed transmog
[4:47] options, but those ones will cost 250
[4:51] field accolades each, making them
[4:53] significantly more expensive when
[4:54] compared to the dark particle boxes.
[4:57] Still, if you want to hunt down some
[4:58] specific transmog unlocks, these bags
[5:00] give you a way to target things more
[5:02] specifically. So, if you're interested
[5:04] in any of these new bags or boxes, I
[5:07] would hold on to your field accolades
[5:08] and dark particles until the patch goes
[5:11] live. Patch 1207 also introduces the
[5:14] Omnium Folio feature. This is a new
[5:17] talent tree style system that unlocks
[5:19] after a short story quest. Upon
[5:21] completion, you'll unlock the Omnium
[5:23] Folio and earn your first talent point.
[5:26] You get to choose between two different
[5:28] core rune powers. Void touched orbs
[5:30] gives you an extra boost of damage or
[5:31] healing every 10 seconds, so that seems
[5:34] more consistent. And then unleashed fire
[5:36] is just a chance to deal extra damage or
[5:38] healing. So that seems more RNG based.
[5:41] It looks like we'll earn a new point
[5:43] every week, which lets you progress
[5:45] through the tree. After four weeks, we
[5:47] should have the whole thing unlocked. If
[5:49] you're curious what some of the other
[5:50] powers in this tree can do, the second
[5:52] row provides you with some extra healing
[5:54] and defensive options. The third row
[5:56] gives you some extra healing or damage
[5:58] overtime effects when your core rune
[6:00] procs. The fourth row gives you some
[6:02] secondary stats whenever your core rune
[6:04] activates. And then the last row
[6:06] improves your core rune effect, the
[6:08] overtime effects or gives your runes a
[6:10] damage accumulation effect. So, as the
[6:13] weeks go by, you'll be able to unlock
[6:15] new powers that provide passive bonuses
[6:17] to your damage and healing. And while
[6:19] they may not be the most exciting thing
[6:21] in the world, those passive increases
[6:23] should help you achieve any end of
[6:25] season goals you may be struggling with.
[6:27] Now, what's really interesting about
[6:29] this feature is that unlike previous 7
[6:32] patch power boosts like the Cersei
[6:33] Cirlet Ring and the Titan belt, this one
[6:36] is going to stick around for much
[6:37] longer. In the preview blue post for
[6:40] this specific feature, the dev team
[6:42] notes that these rune powers will be
[6:44] available to players throughout the rest
[6:45] of the Midnight expansion. So, this
[6:48] isn't a quick power spike to finish up
[6:50] season 1 before it gets deactivated.
[6:52] These runes will provide some passive
[6:54] bonuses for the rest of the expansion,
[6:56] which means we might also see some new
[6:58] options added in future patches to keep
[7:00] things interesting. Either way, the
[7:02] Omnium Folio will definitely be at the
[7:05] top of every player's to-do list when
[7:07] this patch goes live. It's not just gear
[7:10] catch-ups and passive bonuses in this
[7:12] patch. Will also have a brand new raid
[7:14] to plunder with some of the best rewards
[7:17] available in the season. Sporefall is a
[7:19] new one boss raid in Harendar. And if
[7:21] you can overcome the challenges of Rott
[7:23] Meer, you can walk away with up to item
[7:26] level 298 gear. That's the same item
[7:29] level as fully upgraded Myth Track gear
[7:31] with an ascendant void core boost. So,
[7:33] you actually can't get most of these
[7:35] gear slots at this high of an item level
[7:38] outside of this raid, making it some of
[7:40] the best gear available for the rest of
[7:42] the season. Of course, every other
[7:44] difficulty will have a high item level
[7:46] when compared to similar difficulty or
[7:48] gear track rewards. So, it is still
[7:50] worth doing even if you aren't heading
[7:52] into mythic mode. This new raid is also
[7:55] the first time we'll have a flexible
[7:57] mythic difficulty. So you can take 15 to
[7:59] 25 players into mythic and the fight
[8:02] will adapt to your player count just
[8:04] like normal and heroic do. It will be
[8:06] interesting to see if this leads to more
[8:08] mythic kills overall and it should make
[8:10] pugging the boss a bit easier as well.
[8:13] As an extra incentive to get folks into
[8:15] the new raid, we'll have a special quest
[8:17] to take down Rott Meer on any difficulty
[8:19] that rewards you with a nebulous void
[8:21] core bonus roll. So you can pick up an
[8:23] extra bonus roll if there are still some
[8:25] items that you need to roll on. Now solo
[8:28] content players will have some more
[8:29] updates to look forward to as well.
[8:31] Starting with a new difficulty for
[8:32] ritual sites. Tier six will offer
[8:35] greater challenges and even better
[8:36] rewards, including five myth crests at
[8:39] the end of every run. You can still
[8:41] complete as many ritual sites as often
[8:43] as you want. So this provides you with
[8:45] an infinitely farmable source of myth
[8:48] crests. This is the first time solo
[8:50] content players have access to farmable
[8:53] myth crests, which will let you upgrade
[8:55] your spark crafted gear much faster than
[8:57] before. Every 80 crests you can earn can
[8:59] be turned into another piece of 285
[9:01] crafted gear. With the current spark
[9:04] count at around 14, that means you can
[9:06] make seven pieces of gear, which is
[9:08] almost half of your gear slots. You can
[9:10] also boost the item level of a crafted
[9:12] weapon using the ascendant void cores,
[9:14] so easily farmable myth crests open up a
[9:17] lot of very easy gear upgrades. This may
[9:20] be the highest item levels that solo
[9:23] content players have ever been able to
[9:24] obtain in any season so far, which will
[9:27] make the transition into season 2 quite
[9:30] interesting. You'll still be earning
[9:32] hero crests, which can help fuel gear
[9:34] upgrades or can be traded up to myth
[9:36] crests eventually, and field accolades
[9:38] to buy specific pieces of gear to fill
[9:40] in your gear slots. If you need another
[9:42] reason to take on this new difficulty,
[9:44] there's also a quest that rewards you
[9:45] with a nebulous voyor bonus role for
[9:48] completing tier six ritual sites. We
[9:51] also have quite a lot of story content
[9:53] in this patch, including the start of a
[9:55] new main story campaign that sets the
[9:57] stage for patch 12.1. With the initial
[10:00] threat of the void well quelled for now,
[10:02] the Harendar invite members of the
[10:04] various factions of midnight to a
[10:05] special ceremony. But during the
[10:07] ceremony, the history of the Ammani
[10:09] trolls is brought into question, and the
[10:12] real history of the Ammani might not
[10:14] quite line up with their own teachings.
[10:16] You'll join Zuljan as they try to
[10:18] uncover the mysteries of the past and
[10:20] the dangers lurking just beyond the
[10:22] coasts of Zoran. We'll also have some
[10:25] new lawalking adventures to work through
[10:27] that focus on the lower and key events
[10:29] surrounding them. You'll get to learn
[10:31] about some of the most iconic lower in
[10:33] troll history and how they shaped the
[10:35] different troll tribes. With the next
[10:37] patch most likely being very troll
[10:38] ccentric, this new law walking story is
[10:41] a great chance to brush up on your troll
[10:43] lore to get the most out of the new
[10:44] story content coming our way. As an
[10:47] extra bonus, the law walking screen has
[10:48] had a facelift and it looks much better
[10:50] overall, which is always nice to see.
[10:54] The turbulent timeways event will be
[10:56] returning, giving us backto-back time
[10:57] walking for 6 weeks if the PTR calendar
[11:00] holds accurate. That does mean we might
[11:02] not see every available expansion this
[11:04] time around, but we will see the
[11:06] addition of dragonfly dungeons and
[11:08] rewards, including new mounts, transmog
[11:11] sets, toys, pets, and reputation
[11:13] commendations for the dragonfly renowned
[11:15] factions. So, if you never got around to
[11:17] finishing those off, that should be much
[11:20] easier with the dragonfly time walking
[11:22] vendor goodies. You can also pick up any
[11:24] of the previous turbulent timeways event
[11:26] mounts that you may have missed, like
[11:27] the Timely Busby or Chronoc Corsair. The
[11:30] turbulent time wise event is also still
[11:32] a great time to level up any alts you
[11:34] haven't gotten around to yet, thanks to
[11:36] the stacking experience buff that caps
[11:38] out at 30% bonus experience gains. As
[11:41] you complete time walking dungeons, you
[11:43] can also work towards the master of the
[11:45] turbulent time waste 5 achievement,
[11:47] which requires you to obtain the mastery
[11:49] of time waste buff for four weeks of the
[11:51] event, which is one less week than it
[11:54] used to be. To get that buff, you just
[11:55] need to run a few timeing dungeons each
[11:58] week, which is super easy to complete.
[12:00] That achievement rewards you with the
[12:01] spawner via an mount, which is very cool
[12:04] indeed, and not just cuz it's covered in
[12:06] icicles. So, there are some unique
[12:08] rewards on offer this time around.
[12:10] During the event, the weekly time
[12:12] walking quests will reward heroic gear
[12:14] caches instead of champion gear caches,
[12:17] which will give you one last chance to
[12:18] get some very easy heroic gear for all
[12:21] of your characters, which will make
[12:22] gearing up your alts much faster as
[12:24] well.
[12:25] It's not just the turbulent time weights
[12:27] event that will speed up leveling. This
[12:29] patch also makes some significant
[12:31] adjustments to the experience rewards
[12:33] from one time or weekly quests. Delve
[12:36] first time completion quests now reward
[12:38] over 140,000 experience each, almost
[12:42] double what they used to reward. So that
[12:44] will help you shave off an extra level
[12:46] if you complete them all before you hit
[12:47] level 90. Weekly event quests from the
[12:50] major renowned factions now reward over
[12:52] a 100,000 experience each. And this
[12:54] includes the leveling weekly quest in
[12:56] Silver Moon. Prey hunts now also reward
[12:58] over a 100,000 experience while leveling
[13:01] up. So they're actually worth
[13:02] considering now. And the experience
[13:04] rewarded from dungeon quests has been
[13:06] massively increased, too. So, all in
[13:08] all, if you are doing any of these
[13:10] activities while leveling up, you should
[13:12] level significantly faster in patch
[13:14] 1207, and the bonus experience bust from
[13:17] the turbulent timeways event will just
[13:19] speed things up further. There are also
[13:22] a few housing updates to look forward
[13:23] to. Lighting will now be available
[13:25] outdoors, so you can add lights to your
[13:27] exterior plot to brighten things up a
[13:29] bit. And then the exterior decor limits
[13:32] for houses level 5 to seven have been
[13:34] raised up to 300 and 350. So you'll have
[13:37] some extra budget to add in some lights
[13:39] even if you've maxed out your exterior
[13:41] limit before the patch goes live.
[13:43] There's also a bunch of new common decor
[13:45] available from the neighborhood vendors.
[13:48] We also have a handful of important UI
[13:50] updates coming with this patch. Most
[13:52] notably for the personal resource
[13:54] display. You'll be able to change the
[13:56] overall size, width, and height of the
[13:58] health and power bars. the padding
[14:00] between the bars, opacity, and
[14:02] visibility. The health and power bars
[14:04] can be hidden individually. You can
[14:05] tinker about with the class resource
[14:07] bar. There are new options to show class
[14:09] colors or bar text. And the personal
[14:11] resource display has been updated with
[14:14] some new art. So, you might be able to
[14:16] play around with the default personal
[14:17] resource display and make something that
[14:20] suits your needs. And then there's a
[14:22] huge quality of life change coming for
[14:25] the abundance world event. You can now
[14:27] spend multiple shards of Dund done at
[14:29] once, which multiplies your rewards by
[14:31] how many shards you use at a time. So
[14:33] you don't have to do eight runs per week
[14:35] per character anymore. You can get all
[14:37] of your rewards from your weekly eight
[14:39] shards with just one run, which will
[14:41] speed up your alloyed abundance farming
[14:43] quite significantly. This is an amazing
[14:46] change, though I do think it could have
[14:48] been added in much sooner, and arguably
[14:50] should have been the way the system
[14:52] worked from day one. But I guess it's
[14:54] still better late than never. and
[14:56] farming for your epic profession tools
[14:58] should be much much easier with this
[15:00] change in place. But that's everything
[15:02] coming in patch 1207 on June 16th. So
[15:06] that's it for this video. As you can
[15:08] see, it's a pretty beefy patch with a
[15:10] whole suite of changes from new content,
[15:12] plenty of catch-up opportunities, and
[15:14] some quality of life updates to boot.

[15:18] coming our way? And what are you most
