[0:00] Hey folks, this is Kehani. Patch 1207 is
[0:03] finally here, bringing us a bunch of new
[0:05] content and a lot of new ways to gear
[0:07] up. We have two new mini zones to
[0:09] explore, a new borrowed power feature
[0:12] that everyone will want to unlock, and
[0:14] more gearing options for every kind of
[0:16] player to increase your item levels even
[0:18] further before season 1 comes to a
[0:21] close. So, let's go over all of the new
[0:23] content in patch 1207, which features
[0:26] offer actual player power and what we
[0:28] would recommend you get done first. Now,
[0:30] before we jump in, be sure to hit up
[0:32] that like button and subscribe so you
[0:34] never miss another video.
[0:36] The first thing everyone will want to
[0:38] get done, no matter what kind of player
[0:40] you are, is unlock the new Omnium Folio
[0:42] feature. This provides passive bonuses
[0:45] tied to these core runes, but it all
[0:47] boils down to free damage, healing, or
[0:49] survivability. So unlocking this new
[0:52] feature will make your end of season
[0:54] goals much easier. The runes and powers
[0:56] from this feature will actually persist
[0:58] throughout the rest of the Midnight
[1:00] expansion instead of being disabled in
[1:02] the next patch like most borrowed power
[1:04] systems are. So if you don't get this
[1:07] done, you'll actually be behind for the
[1:09] rest of the expansion. So it should
[1:11] definitely be at the top of your to-do
[1:13] list. To unlock the Omnium Folio, you
[1:16] need to pick up the purple important
[1:18] quest, the Magister's Call, which can be
[1:20] found near the field accolade vendors in
[1:22] Silver Moon. Go pick that up and follow
[1:24] through the relatively short quest line.
[1:27] At the end of it, you'll gain access to
[1:29] the Omnium Folio, which is a big new
[1:31] button on your mini map, and you'll earn
[1:33] your first point to spend in this new
[1:35] talent tree. You can pick whichever core
[1:37] rune suits you best, or whichever one
[1:39] sims the highest. And that's it. New
[1:42] borrowed power system unlocked. Now, you
[1:45] will want to come back to the
[1:46] Majesters's Terrace Library every week
[1:48] after reset day to pick up the next
[1:50] quest to earn another point to spend in
[1:53] the tree. We have five rows total, and
[1:55] you can spend one point per row. So,
[1:57] we're looking at five weeks of progress
[1:59] total. The Omnium Folio should unlock
[2:02] for your alts as soon as you've done the
[2:03] quests once, so you won't need to repeat
[2:05] it on any of your alts, which is another
[2:07] reason to get this squared away first.
[2:10] It's also worth noting that if you're
[2:11] mainly interested in player power and
[2:14] you don't need the hero gear from the
[2:15] new zones, this is really the only thing
[2:18] you need to do in the patch. If you just
[2:20] want to keep slamming mythic plus
[2:22] dungeons or focus on clearing through
[2:23] the raids, including the new Sporefall
[2:26] raid, the Omnium Folio is the only real
[2:28] important part of the patch to pay
[2:30] attention to.
[2:32] With the Omnium Folio unlocked, the next
[2:35] thing on your list should be to unlock
[2:36] the new zones. When you first logged in,
[2:39] you should have gotten a pop-up quest
[2:40] called the time to strike. You can hand
[2:42] that in to Rift Blade Meia near the
[2:44] field accolade vendors in Silver Moon.
[2:47] She'll give you some follow-up quests to
[2:49] recruit some very important allies to
[2:51] help with our voyage beyond the stars.
[2:53] Work through those quests, and you'll
[2:54] find yourself opening a portal to one of
[2:56] the two new zones. Now, Val and Nike are
[3:00] on weekly rotations, so we only have
[3:02] access to one of them at a time, but
[3:04] they work in more or less the same way.
[3:06] You open up the portal, establish a base
[3:08] camp, and then you can start working on
[3:10] weekly quests and farming currencies.
[3:13] You can jump straight in on heroic mode.
[3:16] You don't need to unlock it anymore, but
[3:18] I would recommend entering on normal
[3:20] mode for the first time for two main
[3:22] reasons. The first is to just get used
[3:24] to the zones before they become very
[3:26] unforgiving. Heroic mode isn't just mobs
[3:29] dealing more damage and having more
[3:30] health. There are a bunch of elites
[3:32] roaming around that make navigating the
[3:34] zone quite a pain sometimes. But the
[3:37] second reason is that you'll actually
[3:38] have quite a few quests to get
[3:40] everything set up first. So, I would run
[3:42] on normal mode until you complete the
[3:44] initial startup quests. Then you can
[3:46] swap over to heroic to do the actual
[3:48] farming. After you've gotten to about
[3:50] this point and you're able to teleport
[3:52] back to base and pick up the quest for
[3:54] the world boss, I would just head back
[3:56] to base immediately. Don't move on to
[3:58] the world boss if you want the better
[3:59] rewards from heroic difficulty, which
[4:02] pretty much everyone is going to want.
[4:04] This is where I would head out of the
[4:06] zone by using the teleporter back to
[4:08] Silver Moon and then you can jump back
[4:09] in on heroic mode. Heroic mode will be
[4:12] harder, but you'll be earning more field
[4:14] accolades from every source. And the
[4:16] world boss drops heroic gear instead of
[4:18] champion gear, so it's totally worth it.
[4:21] At this point, you will also be able to
[4:22] use the teleporter in Silver Moon to get
[4:24] back to the new zones instead of having
[4:26] to go all the way back to the void storm
[4:27] to use the portal that we opened. So,
[4:29] that's a nice bonus, too. After
[4:31] establishing the base camp, your alts
[4:33] should be able to skip over the intro
[4:35] quests and jump straight in. So, make
[4:37] sure you finish those initial quests on
[4:39] at least one character before moving on.
[4:42] Your alts will be able to use the Silver
[4:43] Moon teleporter right away as well. The
[4:46] new zones are mainly good for farming
[4:48] field accolades and warbound gear. You
[4:50] can now spend field accolades on
[4:52] specific pieces of hero gear or on
[4:54] warbound champion gear. So, the new
[4:56] zones are great for catching up with
[4:57] gear or gearing up your alts.
[5:00] If you don't need the hero gear or you
[5:02] don't have any alts to gear up, the new
[5:04] zones won't offer too much in terms of
[5:06] rewards. If you're a solo content
[5:08] player, you might want to check out the
[5:10] new tier six difficulty for ritual
[5:12] sites. You will need to turn on six
[5:15] challenges, so they're not a total
[5:16] pushover, but each tier six run will
[5:19] reward you with five myth crests, which
[5:21] you can then use to upgrade your
[5:22] sparkcrafted gear to 285 very easily. So
[5:26] that's one new gear avenue open to solo
[5:28] content players who are already fully
[5:30] kitted out in hero gear. Be sure to pick
[5:33] up the quest just outside the ritual
[5:34] sites for an extra void core bonus role
[5:37] for working through tier six ritual
[5:38] sites.
[5:40] And then of course we have the new
[5:42] Sporefall one boss raid. This raid
[5:44] offers some of the best gear in the game
[5:46] if you can clear it on mythic
[5:48] difficulty. It's over in Harendar near
[5:50] the grudge pit. Before you go
[5:52] headto-head with Rott Meer, you should
[5:54] pick up the Sporefall Rott Meer quest
[5:56] from Sporamir in Silver Moon who can be
[5:58] found right next to the portal to
[6:00] Harendar. So that's nice and easy. That
[6:02] quest rewards you with a free bonus roll
[6:04] for killing Rott Meer on any difficulty.
[6:07] So, that's definitely worth grabbing if
[6:08] you're wanting to use your bonus rolls
[6:10] to get some of that shiny 298 gear. I
[6:13] guess it's also worth noting that
[6:14] because it's a raid, bonus rolling will
[6:17] most likely cost two bonus rolls on this
[6:20] new boss. So, make sure you have at
[6:21] least two rolls before you go get your
[6:23] kills. Otherwise, you might end up being
[6:25] quite disappointed.
[6:28] If you enjoy law walking, there's a new
[6:30] story that goes over some important
[6:32] events to do with the lower, which will
[6:34] be a decent primer if you haven't paid
[6:36] too much attention to the history of the
[6:37] trolls in the past. Patch 12.1 will most
[6:40] likely have a strong troll focus, so
[6:42] it's a great time to brush up on your
[6:44] lore if you're interested in that kind
[6:46] of thing.
[6:48] From here on out, it's totally up to
[6:49] you. There are a few other updates you
[6:51] might want to check out. For example,
[6:53] housing saw a few updates like outdoor
[6:55] lighting. The moth hunt feature in
[6:57] Harendar was redesigned. A bunch of
[6:59] different one-time and weekly quests had
[7:02] their experience rewards massively
[7:03] increased. Some leveling up alts is
[7:05] going to be much faster. Void assaults
[7:07] actually had their rewards increased by
[7:09] quite a bit. And there were a few
[7:11] updates to the user interface as well.
[7:13] But if you want to ignore all of that
[7:15] and just go back to working on your end
[7:16] of season goals, spam running mythic
[7:18] plus dungeons or securing those last few
[7:21] raid boss kills, you do you.
[7:25] Now, if you're wondering where the
[7:26] Turbulent Timewaves event is and how you
[7:28] can get the big experience buff or jump
[7:30] into some time walking dungeons, that
[7:33] won't actually be available for another
[7:35] 2 weeks. The Turbulent Timeways event
[7:37] starts up on June 30th, so we do have a
[7:40] little bit to wait until that becomes
[7:42] active. With that being the case, it may
[7:44] be worth waiting on leveling up any of
[7:46] your alts so you can take advantage of
[7:48] the shiny 30% bonus experience gains,
[7:51] but that should give you plenty of time
[7:53] to explore the other patch content
[7:55] before spamming your time dungeons to
[7:57] level up your alts and earn the shiny
[7:59] new rewards.
[8:01] The same goes for the new story chapters
[8:03] that set the stage for patch 12.1. We'll
[8:06] have to wait a bit longer for these ones
[8:08] as they aren't available until July 7th.
[8:11] So after July 7th rolls around, you
[8:14] should be able to pick up a new main
[8:15] story quest from Orwena in the middle of
[8:18] Silver Moon. So keep your eyes peeled
[8:20] for that. But that's what we would
[8:22] recommend doing first in patch 1207,
[8:24] depending on your goals and overall
[8:26] objectives for the rest of the season.
[8:29] So that's it for this video. What are
[8:31] you most excited about in patch 1207? Or
[8:33] are you more interested in seeing what's
[8:35] planned for patch 12.1? Leave all your
