[0:06] >> Hello internet, Talson here and today we
[0:09] are talking Revelations World of
[0:11] Warcraft patch 12.0.7
[0:15] which is going live on Tuesday June the
[0:16] 16th in NA and Wednesday June the 17th
[0:19] in EU. And the question we're all asking
[0:23] is where does this new patch rank on the
[0:26] scale of alltime great revelations? If
[0:29] the new scary movie isn't that great, is
[0:32] an unsurprising obvious one on the scale
[0:34] and Kat and Zo Slater is a shocking
[0:37] lifechanging 10.
[0:38] >> You can't tell ME WHAT TO DO. YOU AIN'T
[0:40] MY MOTHER.
[0:42] >> YES, I AM.
[0:45] >> Then where does 12.0.7
[0:47] rank on this scale? Let's find out as we
[0:50] get our heads around the patch and
[0:52] everything in it in your definitive
[0:54] 12.0.7
[0:56] Revelations Guide. Okay. Go, go, go, go,
[0:59] go, go, go, go, go, go. Two new zones,
[1:02] Nagtal and Val. In an effort to quell
[1:04] the seemingly endless void invaders,
[1:06] still launching void assaults and
[1:08] causing trouble in ritual sites. Uh, you
[1:11] have been fighting off all the endless
[1:12] void invaders in void assaults and
[1:14] ritual sites. Yeah, please tell me
[1:16] someone is still fighting them off. In
[1:17] 12.0.7, we travel through a freshly open
[1:19] portal in Voidtorm to two whole new mini
[1:23] zones. Natal is blooming with fungy and
[1:25] fun guys and has been occupied by a
[1:28] hostile faction of the Atherealss known
[1:30] as the Halhadar led by the Nexus captain
[1:33] Lethia. And I know you've never really
[1:35] heard of the Halhadar before, but trust
[1:37] me, they are the baddest Atherealss, the
[1:39] absolute worst. Val, on the other hand,
[1:41] is a frozen world once conquered by the
[1:43] Burning Legion, but which is now home to
[1:45] the power-hungry Dominar Imperator
[1:48] Pertinax and their power-hungry little
[1:50] void forces. The portal to access these
[1:52] worlds swaps destinations weekly. And
[1:55] once through, you'll find the usual
[1:56] assortment of world quests, events,
[1:59] rares, and a world boss per zone. This
[2:02] is all very cool and good, but most
[2:04] notably, these two new quest zones come
[2:06] in two difficulties: normal and heroic
[2:10] world tier. You can choose either
[2:12] difficulty right from the start, but be
[2:14] warned, heroic is considerably trickier,
[2:17] or at least it was for Everel on her
[2:18] solo hunter on the PTR. I know. Maybe
[2:20] it's not so tricky after all. Hostile
[2:22] mobs are more densely placed on top of
[2:24] being harder to down. And attempting to
[2:26] solo the bosses had her easily one shot
[2:29] because of course they're world bosses.
[2:30] Don't try and solo them. But there is an
[2:32] upside to this increase in difficulty.
[2:34] And that is of course an increase in
[2:36] rewards. Normal world quests and rares
[2:39] in these two zones drop champion crests.
[2:42] Sorry. Sorry. There must be someone who
[2:45] still needs champion crests. And for
[2:47] you, I'm very, very happy. I'm happy for
[2:48] you that you can get them now in these
[2:50] zones. While on heroic difficulty, they
[2:52] drop No, go on. Take a guess. Guess
[2:54] which. Yeah, heroic quests. You'll also
[2:56] have the chance to earn even more field
[2:58] accolades. Yay. Which you can spend back
[3:01] at the umbil base camp. Completing the
[3:03] weekly showdown quest will unlock a slot
[3:05] on the great vault world tier, as well
[3:07] as rewarding a rift stalker's cash
[3:09] containing field accolades, coffee
[3:11] shards, gear, and gold. You'll also find
[3:14] a 4-week quest line here called Knocking
[3:17] Off the Top, which requires gathering
[3:19] four void commanders emblems from the
[3:21] world bosses on heroic tier, and which
[3:23] will reward you with a cloak, belt, or
[3:25] wrist piece at mythic item level. This
[3:28] is the first time WoW players will be
[3:30] able to get myth track gear from openw
[3:32] world content, which is a pretty big
[3:34] deal. And if you miss a week, don't
[3:36] stress because the weekly quests for the
[3:38] zones will offer up the items needed as
[3:40] a catch-up mechanic. Speaking of
[3:41] rewards, rare creatures and elites will
[3:44] have a chance to drop light themed
[3:45] housing decor and void recolored
[3:48] transmogs. And you'll also have the
[3:49] chance to buy them from your local
[3:51] Umbreal base camp for a combination of
[3:52] field accolades and void light mall. All
[3:55] in all, these are fun little zones to
[3:57] run around in and grind for currency.
[3:59] Operative words being run around here
[4:02] because they are of course no flying
[4:05] zones. But you will receive a light veil
[4:08] recall beacon toy early on in the quest
[4:10] line that will take you back to your
[4:11] base camp on a 15minute cool down. And
[4:14] for characters under level 90, world
[4:16] quests, events, and rares will serve
[4:18] extra XP rewards as well, which is nice.
[4:20] And if you're looking to gear up, then
[4:22] Maron Silverwing back in Silver Moon
[4:24] City will be dishing out new gear caches
[4:27] with warbound champion gear boxes.
[4:30] Sorry. Look, someone's going to be
[4:31] really happy about those champion gear
[4:33] boxes, okay? for specific slots costing
[4:35] 100 field accolades and slot specific
[4:38] hero gear boxes costing a cool 750 field
[4:42] accolades. Nate, Tal, and Val might be
[4:44] full of the kind of content and rewards
[4:46] we would expect from a 7 patch, but the
[4:48] new zones are interesting and the heroic
[4:50] world tier potentially revolutionary. So
[4:53] on the revelation scale, we rate them
[4:56] about the same as a surprisingly
[4:58] wellresented Popeye's burger. The Omnium
[5:01] Folio. Ah, the Omnium Folio. Our beloved
[5:05] so-called borrowed power system dour
[5:08] dupach. Whatever. The Omnom Nom nom nom
[5:11] nom folio is effectively a content nerf
[5:13] in the form of a fiveweek quest line
[5:15] based around helping magesters Umbrich
[5:17] and Romath in restoring the sunstrider
[5:20] Omnium, an ancient relic that can tap
[5:22] into all schools of magic like Madan.
[5:26] What? Sorry, who? No, I don't know who
[5:27] that is. I don't know why you even
[5:28] mentioned him. and which will imbue you
[5:30] with said powers as you gradually unlock
[5:33] it. The Omnonfolio is a talent tree.
[5:36] Okay, let's call it a branch. Okay,
[5:37] fine. Let's call it a twig which you can
[5:39] progress once per week after completing
[5:41] various tasks for Rombrich Umbrath. The
[5:44] weekly seeking knowledge quest line will
[5:46] look like this. Week one is simply the
[5:48] setup and after doing some intro quests,
[5:50] you will be given an empowering moat for
[5:52] the first choice on your tree. Do you
[5:54] want to go void or do you want to go
[5:56] light? These are the kind of big
[5:57] important choices we're talking in the
[5:58] Omnom Nomf Folio. Week two requires you
[6:01] to collect eight items that drop from
[6:03] bosses and mini bosses in a ritual site.
[6:06] And because there are eight of them, all
[6:08] you'll need to complete is one ritual
[6:10] site. Week three requires collecting
[6:12] five items that drop from the completion
[6:14] of void assaults out in the world. Week
[6:16] four requires defeating a delve dungeon
[6:19] or raid boss. And week five finally has
[6:22] you downing a world boss in either
[6:24] Nadtal or Val. At the node choices and
[6:28] the Omnium Folio are fine on the PTR.
[6:31] They have not been entirely testable,
[6:32] but once it's live, you will no doubt be
[6:34] able to consult Wowhead for the optimum
[6:36] choices pertaining to your class and
[6:38] spec. And nodes can be changed at any
[6:40] time out of combat. So there's no
[6:42] punishment for a little experimentation
[6:44] should you like. And while it's not
[6:45] particularly exciting, the Omnon Folio
[6:48] is nice in that it doesn't take up a
[6:50] precious gear slot, and the power gained
[6:52] from it will persist through the
[6:53] entirety of Midnight. So, on the
[6:55] Revelation scale, we rate it about the
[6:58] same as that time you found out that WoW
[7:00] gold seller Steve Bannon was best mates
[7:02] with Jeffrey Epstein. Utterly
[7:04] unsurprising, but weirdly vindicating at
[7:06] the same time. New raid, Sporefall.
[7:09] Raiders, you have not been forgotten.
[7:12] Midnight's fourth raid arrives in 12.0.7
[7:16] in the form of Sporefall, a single boss
[7:19] face off against Rottmire, the adorable
[7:21] giant fungal guy you may have seen
[7:23] hanging around the grudge pit in
[7:24] Harendar. He's adorable, right? Rottme
[7:26] drops gear in the same tier as our other
[7:28] midnight raids, but with the addition of
[7:30] being sporefused, which means that they
[7:33] drop at the maximum item level for each
[7:35] difficulty, with myth gear dropping at a
[7:38] whopping 298.
[7:40] No crests required. And thank goodness
[7:43] cuz I bet you're all really low on
[7:44] crests right now. Yeah. Sporeful will be
[7:46] available on the usual raidfinder,
[7:48] normal, heroic, and mythic difficulties,
[7:51] but it will also of course have the
[7:52] addition of mythic flex. I could hear
[7:56] Immortalis Argent Dawn EU. Yay. And any
[7:59] other guild who's ever got stuck on 19
[8:01] signups for mythic raid knight cheering
[8:03] from all the way over here. Mythic flex
[8:05] difficulty will scale dynamically for
[8:07] groups between 15 to 25 players. Throw
[8:10] some decimus bonus roles in there and
[8:12] myth track gearing in WoW has never been
[8:15] easier. On the revelations scale, the
[8:18] return of mini raids in between the main
[8:19] event ranks on the same sort of level as
[8:22] Brendan Fraser being in movies again.
[8:24] Not exactly world changing, but you're
[8:25] just really glad he still exists and is
[8:27] back and doing okay, you know. New law
[8:30] walking. Learn about the lower. The new
[8:32] zones, Omnium Folio and Sporefall are of
[8:35] course the headlines here, but there's
[8:36] still plenty to keep you busy in 12.0.7.
[8:39] For law completionists, apprentice law
[8:41] walker Ley will be offering a new law
[8:44] walking path or um lower walking path.
[8:47] This new chapter explores the influence
[8:49] of the lower on the Xandelari, Drakari,
[8:51] Gurabashi, and Dark Spear tribes.
[8:53] Completing this chapter awards the tome
[8:55] of kings decor item and of course a
[8:57] wealth of knowledge and insight into the
[9:00] lower and troll culture that might just
[9:03] might I don't know be kind of useful in
[9:05] some upcoming quests. We also have a new
[9:07] mini event in the form of hatching
[9:09] Janali's eggs. Sorry. This is a nice bit
[9:12] of local world building which has us
[9:14] aiding lower speaker Breck with caring
[9:17] for the fire lowower's clutch, raising
[9:18] some baby dragon hawks, and even taking
[9:20] one called Emblein home as a pet.
[9:23] Revelation ranking like finding out
[9:24] sipping pickle juice is surprisingly
[9:26] good for you. Makes you smile even
[9:28] though you'll probably actually never do
[9:29] it. New micro holiday, the Dark Spear
[9:32] Dash. Now this, my friends, is where we
[9:34] get our calendars out. Get them out for
[9:36] the lads. Come on. On June 27th and
[9:38] 28th, the very first officially
[9:41] sanctioned Dark Spear Dash will take
[9:44] place. An event drawing on the annual
[9:46] community organized Running of the
[9:47] Trolls Pride event, which has been going
[9:49] on for 12 years now. It's like pride but
[9:53] with rewards. So even better. Runners
[9:55] can earn the dark spear dasher title, a
[9:58] rainbow troll tabard, the troll scroll
[10:00] of rainbow roll toy, and maybe even
[10:03] more. Check it out. And also check out
[10:05] the original running of the trolls event
[10:06] organized by Warcraft cares. Revelation
[10:09] rating like actually listening to the
[10:11] lyrics of a rage against the machine
[10:13] song. As in all the worst people in the
[10:15] world suddenly very angry about
[10:17] something that's always been there. Hey

[11:54] andel. Turbulent timeways. Next up in
[11:57] our diaries, we have the return of
[11:59] turbulent timeways kicking off on June
[12:02] the 30th. In case this is your first.7
[12:05] rodeo, Turbulent Timeways has you
[12:07] completing timewalking dungeons for a
[12:09] stacking XP buff that caps out at 30%,
[12:13] granting you the mastery of timeways
[12:15] buff after completing four time walking
[12:17] dungeons per week. Carrying this buff
[12:19] through four weeks, which is 16 time
[12:22] walking dungeons in total. You'll be
[12:23] rewarded with the mastery of turbulent
[12:26] timeways five achievement. And with this
[12:29] extra spicy, extra icy, extra nicy spawn
[12:32] of Virinoth mount. While it was
[12:34] previously reported that the mastery of
[12:36] the timeways buff was accountwide, this
[12:38] is no longer the case and you'll need to
[12:40] complete the entire achievement on one
[12:42] character as usual. Sorry, but that
[12:44] shouldn't be an issue for you because
[12:46] dragonfly dungeons have joined the time
[12:48] walking rotation, which is doing some
[12:50] strange things to my brain because
[12:51] surely it's like way too soon. Legion
[12:54] only happened five years ago and
[12:56] Dragonfly happened like last year or
[12:58] something, right? Anyway, delve into
[13:00] Algathar Academy again again. Halls of
[13:02] Infusion, Ntharius, Ruby Life Pools, the
[13:05] Azer Vault, and Brackenhide Hollow to
[13:07] build up your cash of time warp badges
[13:10] for the opportunity to blow them all on
[13:11] new goodies, including the liquid hot
[13:14] magma slug and black furred bounts, toy
[13:17] that sets the sky on fire, this sick
[13:20] druid of the flame transmog, and some
[13:22] other honestly really nice dragonflyy
[13:24] transmogs and sets. sitting nicely on
[13:27] the revelation scale next to National
[13:29] Doughut Day. Happens every year. You
[13:31] know, it's a bit of a con, but
[13:33] absolutely a guilty pleasure, even if
[13:35] you do feel a bit sick afterwards. New
[13:37] story chapter, Zuul Jan. Then, finally,
[13:40] on July the 7th, we get something that
[13:43] would probably be the headline feature
[13:45] for quite a few players if it weren't
[13:47] buried in July. A new story chapter.
[13:50] This one focusing on Zuljan and the
[13:52] trolls and maybe even the whole
[13:55] revelations thing this patch has been
[13:57] named after. I'm not going to go through
[13:58] it in detail here because I want you to
[14:00] play it yourself and enjoy this new
[14:01] chapter in the Midnight campaign without
[14:03] spoilers. But in short, you'll join
[14:06] Zujan and his uncle Kinduru on a journey
[14:08] into the origins of the Armani trolls
[14:11] and get a glimpse of just how far Zujan
[14:13] will go for his people. I'm going to
[14:15] leave it there, but suffice to say, it's
[14:17] actually really good and sets the stage
[14:19] for some really exciting stuff coming
[14:21] up. On top of all that, this Sjan story
[14:23] line is very clearly signposted as the
[14:26] first chapter in the 12.1 prologue
[14:29] campaign, meaning it will lead us
[14:30] directly into the next big story beat in
[14:34] Midnight. But you do have to wait until
[14:35] July the 7th to start it. And this is a
[14:37] bit weird, but I currently don't know
[14:38] when you'll be able to finish it because
[14:40] when this quest hit the PTR, lots of us,
[14:43] me included, assumed that these five
[14:45] chapters here would all be available as
[14:47] part of Revelations. But no other
[14:50] chapters ever appeared for testing on
[14:52] the PTR. And actually now, everyone
[14:54] thinks that these remaining chapters
[14:56] shown may actually be part of 12.1's
[15:00] opening quest campaign, which would be
[15:02] disappointing. Who knows, maybe we'll be
[15:04] pleasantly surprised. And these other
[15:06] chapters are actually Revelations
[15:08] content opening week by week, but I
[15:10] probably wouldn't hold my breath. And
[15:12] for that reason, I'm rating this
[15:13] alongside the ending of the last Doctor
[15:15] Who series on the Revelation scale
[15:17] because like I am pretty sure the story
[15:20] is going to continue at some point. I'm
[15:22] just not sure when. New housing updates
[15:25] for the housing build. Player housing
[15:26] has some very welcome updates coming in
[15:29] 12.0.7.
[15:30] Most notably, the outdoor decor budget
[15:33] will be increasing to 300 at house level
[15:37] 5 and 350 at house level 7. Thank you.
[15:41] That means more boulders, more trees,
[15:43] more everything, including more
[15:45] lighting. Yes, lighting has been given
[15:48] the green light for housing exteriors,
[15:50] just with the slight caveat that each
[15:52] lighting decor item comes with a massive
[15:54] hit bubble, limiting how closely it can
[15:55] be placed to another source of light.
[15:56] And on top of that, loads of new decor
[15:58] will be available from neighborhood
[16:00] vendors. That's right, you don't even
[16:02] have to leave the comfort of your
[16:04] neighborhood or spend a drop of mile.
[16:06] Just some hard cold to get yourself an
[16:08] array of new furniture, fences,
[16:10] bathtubs, and the single most asked for
[16:13] piece of housing decor ever. The square
[16:16] diable rug. I repeat, the square diable
[16:19] rug is here in Revelations. This is not
[16:21] a drill. This is a drill. This is a rug.
[16:24] Obviously on the Revelation scale, this
[16:26] is up there with like if Prince Andrew
[16:28] ever went to jail. A wonderful thing and
[16:30] a great start that you're very pleased
[16:32] about, but you hope that there is still
[16:34] loads more to come. Ritual sites. I know
[16:38] what you're thinking, internet. You're
[16:39] thinking, "Well, yeah, that's all very
[16:40] well and good so far, Tally, but I've
[16:43] noticed that you haven't said anything
[16:44] about my favorite WoW content in the
[16:46] history of WoW, ritual sites. Where's my
[16:49] ritual sites news, Tally?" Well, good
[16:52] news. Ritual sites will be getting an
[16:54] additional difficulty tier. Tier six
[16:56] sites will be recommended for item level
[16:59] 270 plus and will require six challenges
[17:03] to be active and they will provide the
[17:05] first solo farmable source of myth dawn
[17:09] crests on the PTR. these were uncapped.
[17:12] And if they remain uncapped, then tier
[17:14] six ritual sites would allow players to
[17:16] craft multiple pieces of 285 gear
[17:19] without even touching dungeons or raids.
[17:22] Of course, tier 11 bountiful delves have
[17:24] been giving solo players myth crest
[17:26] since forever, but those were capped at
[17:27] 20 a week, meaning ritual sites have
[17:29] suddenly got a whole lot more
[17:31] interesting for a whole lot more
[17:33] players, especially in weeks three and
[17:35] six of Revelations, where a weekly quest
[17:38] to complete ritual sites with certain
[17:40] challenges selected will also reward a
[17:42] bonus on top of the two that our
[17:44] tiny-headed friend Desimus gives you
[17:46] just for turning up. And I know you
[17:48] don't want me to stop talking about
[17:49] ritual sites because you love them so
[17:51] much. So, here's a new achievement.
[17:52] Complete each ritual site at tier six
[17:55] with all eight challenges active to
[17:57] receive the ritual breaker title. Okay,
[18:00] that's it for ritual sites now. Sorry.
[18:01] On the revelation scale, this is like
[18:03] your friend telling you that person of
[18:05] interest gets really good in season 4. I
[18:07] promise. Just just keep going. And in
[18:10] other news, some players will see a
[18:12] reduction in those astronomical repair
[18:15] bills as devs have confirmed that
[18:17] weapons and armor will no longer take
[18:19] durability damage from combat events
[18:21] like attacking and blocking. Hooray!
[18:24] There are huge experience buffs coming
[18:26] for levels 80 to 90. First time midnight
[18:29] delve and dungeon quests, prey hunts,
[18:31] weekly renown activities like Salathar,
[18:33] Suare and Everong, and void incursions
[18:36] have all got extra super buffed XP up
[18:39] the wazoo to encourage you to do
[18:40] something other than run the same four
[18:42] dungeons over and over again for
[18:43] leveling. But don't just take my word
[18:45] for it. Bellar says this XP change has
[18:47] just save patch 12.0.7.
[18:50] My goodness, it's rebalanced entirely,
[18:53] which no, but it's good. I'm glad
[18:56] they've done it. I like this. And the
[18:58] change to abundance that we all wanted
[19:00] to see. No. Okay, not that one. In
[19:03] Revelation, you will be able to spend up
[19:05] to eight shards of Dun Dun in one
[19:08] abundant harvest, saving you time, but
[19:11] alas, not sanity. And there you have it.
[19:13] Barring any big surprises, that is
[19:15] pretty much everything coming your way
[19:16] in patch 12.0.7,
[19:18] Revelations. I don't know about you, but
[19:21] I feel like I have plenty to sink my
[19:22] teeth into here. And as a whole,
[19:24] Revelations isn't exactly the Kaiser. So
[19:27] of revelations, but it's solid and has
[19:29] potential. Definitely not a Ray is
[19:31] Palpatines's granddaughter disaster kind
[19:33] of revelation. It's just kind of neat if
[19:35] you like that kind of thing. But what do
[19:37] you think? Will you be coming back for
[19:39] 12.0.7? Will you dutifully grind for
[19:42] Umbreick and Romath on a weekly basis?
[19:44] Or will you just pop back before 12.1
[19:46] and max it all out in one go? Will you
[19:48] be making the most of readily acquirable
[19:50] myth track gear and myth crests? or will
[19:52] you just recreate the Sistine Chapel
[19:54] using square dyable rugs? Let us know in
[19:57] the comments below. And thank you for
[19:58] joining us today. If you like this
[20:00] video, don't thank us. Thank our patrons
[20:02] who give us their actual real life money
[20:05] to make all of our work happen. So
[20:07] patrons, thank you. Because without you,
[20:09] there would be a whole lot less Talas
[20:11] and Neverel. If you didn't like it, down
[20:13] vote the [ __ ] out of it. And remember,
[20:15] my name is Dun done. No, I'm Talasin
[20:18] from me and Everel, too. Until next
[20:21] time cheerio.
