Every 12.0.7 Feature RATED! Revelations Is HERE... Is WoW's New Patch Any Good?

[00:00] This video is sponsored by Squarespace.

[00:06] >> Hello internet, Talson here and today we

[00:09] are talking Revelations World of

[00:11] Warcraft patch 12.0.7

[00:15] which is going live on Tuesday June the

[00:16] 16th in NA and Wednesday June the 17th

[00:19] in EU. And the question we're all asking

[00:23] is where does this new patch rank on the

[00:26] scale of alltime great revelations? If

[00:29] the new scary movie isn't that great, is

[00:32] an unsurprising obvious one on the scale

[00:34] and Kat and Zo Slater is a shocking

[00:37] lifechanging 10.

[00:38] >> You can't tell ME WHAT TO DO. YOU AIN'T

[00:40] MY MOTHER.

[00:42] >> YES, I AM.

[00:45] >> Then where does 12.0.7

[00:47] rank on this scale? Let's find out as we

[00:50] get our heads around the patch and

[00:52] everything in it in your definitive

[00:54] 12.0.7

[00:56] Revelations Guide. Okay. Go, go, go, go,

[00:59] go, go, go, go, go, go. Two new zones,

[01:02] Nagtal and Val. In an effort to quell

[01:04] the seemingly endless void invaders,

[01:06] still launching void assaults and

[01:08] causing trouble in ritual sites. Uh, you

[01:11] have been fighting off all the endless

[01:12] void invaders in void assaults and

[01:14] ritual sites. Yeah, please tell me

[01:16] someone is still fighting them off. In

[01:17] 12.0.7, we travel through a freshly open

[01:19] portal in Voidtorm to two whole new mini

[01:23] zones. Natal is blooming with fungy and

[01:25] fun guys and has been occupied by a

[01:28] hostile faction of the Atherealss known

[01:30] as the Halhadar led by the Nexus captain

[01:33] Lethia. And I know you've never really

[01:35] heard of the Halhadar before, but trust

[01:37] me, they are the baddest Atherealss, the

[01:39] absolute worst. Val, on the other hand,

[01:41] is a frozen world once conquered by the

[01:43] Burning Legion, but which is now home to

[01:45] the power-hungry Dominar Imperator

[01:48] Pertinax and their power-hungry little

[01:50] void forces. The portal to access these

[01:52] worlds swaps destinations weekly. And

[01:55] once through, you'll find the usual

[01:56] assortment of world quests, events,

[01:59] rares, and a world boss per zone. This

[02:02] is all very cool and good, but most

[02:04] notably, these two new quest zones come

[02:06] in two difficulties: normal and heroic

[02:10] world tier. You can choose either

[02:12] difficulty right from the start, but be

[02:14] warned, heroic is considerably trickier,

[02:17] or at least it was for Everel on her

[02:18] solo hunter on the PTR. I know. Maybe

[02:20] it's not so tricky after all. Hostile

[02:22] mobs are more densely placed on top of

[02:24] being harder to down. And attempting to

[02:26] solo the bosses had her easily one shot

[02:29] because of course they're world bosses.

[02:30] Don't try and solo them. But there is an

[02:32] upside to this increase in difficulty.

[02:34] And that is of course an increase in

[02:36] rewards. Normal world quests and rares

[02:39] in these two zones drop champion crests.

[02:42] Sorry. Sorry. There must be someone who

[02:45] still needs champion crests. And for

[02:47] you, I'm very, very happy. I'm happy for

[02:48] you that you can get them now in these

[02:50] zones. While on heroic difficulty, they

[02:52] drop No, go on. Take a guess. Guess

[02:54] which. Yeah, heroic quests. You'll also

[02:56] have the chance to earn even more field

[02:58] accolades. Yay. Which you can spend back

[03:01] at the umbil base camp. Completing the

[03:03] weekly showdown quest will unlock a slot

[03:05] on the great vault world tier, as well

[03:07] as rewarding a rift stalker's cash

[03:09] containing field accolades, coffee

[03:11] shards, gear, and gold. You'll also find

[03:14] a 4-week quest line here called Knocking

[03:17] Off the Top, which requires gathering

[03:19] four void commanders emblems from the

[03:21] world bosses on heroic tier, and which

[03:23] will reward you with a cloak, belt, or

[03:25] wrist piece at mythic item level. This

[03:28] is the first time WoW players will be

[03:30] able to get myth track gear from openw

[03:32] world content, which is a pretty big

[03:34] deal. And if you miss a week, don't

[03:36] stress because the weekly quests for the

[03:38] zones will offer up the items needed as

[03:40] a catch-up mechanic. Speaking of

[03:41] rewards, rare creatures and elites will

[03:44] have a chance to drop light themed

[03:45] housing decor and void recolored

[03:48] transmogs. And you'll also have the

[03:49] chance to buy them from your local

[03:51] Umbreal base camp for a combination of

[03:52] field accolades and void light mall. All

[03:55] in all, these are fun little zones to

[03:57] run around in and grind for currency.

[03:59] Operative words being run around here

[04:02] because they are of course no flying

[04:05] zones. But you will receive a light veil

[04:08] recall beacon toy early on in the quest

[04:10] line that will take you back to your

[04:11] base camp on a 15minute cool down. And

[04:14] for characters under level 90, world

[04:16] quests, events, and rares will serve

[04:18] extra XP rewards as well, which is nice.

[04:20] And if you're looking to gear up, then

[04:22] Maron Silverwing back in Silver Moon

[04:24] City will be dishing out new gear caches

[04:27] with warbound champion gear boxes.

[04:30] Sorry. Look, someone's going to be

[04:31] really happy about those champion gear

[04:33] boxes, okay? for specific slots costing

[04:35] 100 field accolades and slot specific

[04:38] hero gear boxes costing a cool 750 field

[04:42] accolades. Nate, Tal, and Val might be

[04:44] full of the kind of content and rewards

[04:46] we would expect from a 7 patch, but the

[04:48] new zones are interesting and the heroic

[04:50] world tier potentially revolutionary. So

[04:53] on the revelation scale, we rate them

[04:56] about the same as a surprisingly

[04:58] wellresented Popeye's burger. The Omnium

[05:01] Folio. Ah, the Omnium Folio. Our beloved

[05:05] so-called borrowed power system dour

[05:08] dupach. Whatever. The Omnom Nom nom nom

[05:11] nom folio is effectively a content nerf

[05:13] in the form of a fiveweek quest line

[05:15] based around helping magesters Umbrich

[05:17] and Romath in restoring the sunstrider

[05:20] Omnium, an ancient relic that can tap

[05:22] into all schools of magic like Madan.

[05:26] What? Sorry, who? No, I don't know who

[05:27] that is. I don't know why you even

[05:28] mentioned him. and which will imbue you

[05:30] with said powers as you gradually unlock

[05:33] it. The Omnonfolio is a talent tree.

[05:36] Okay, let's call it a branch. Okay,

[05:37] fine. Let's call it a twig which you can

[05:39] progress once per week after completing

[05:41] various tasks for Rombrich Umbrath. The

[05:44] weekly seeking knowledge quest line will

[05:46] look like this. Week one is simply the

[05:48] setup and after doing some intro quests,

[05:50] you will be given an empowering moat for

[05:52] the first choice on your tree. Do you

[05:54] want to go void or do you want to go

[05:56] light? These are the kind of big

[05:57] important choices we're talking in the

[05:58] Omnom Nomf Folio. Week two requires you

[06:01] to collect eight items that drop from

[06:03] bosses and mini bosses in a ritual site.

[06:06] And because there are eight of them, all

[06:08] you'll need to complete is one ritual

[06:10] site. Week three requires collecting

[06:12] five items that drop from the completion

[06:14] of void assaults out in the world. Week

[06:16] four requires defeating a delve dungeon

[06:19] or raid boss. And week five finally has

[06:22] you downing a world boss in either

[06:24] Nadtal or Val. At the node choices and

[06:28] the Omnium Folio are fine on the PTR.

[06:31] They have not been entirely testable,

[06:32] but once it's live, you will no doubt be

[06:34] able to consult Wowhead for the optimum

[06:36] choices pertaining to your class and

[06:38] spec. And nodes can be changed at any

[06:40] time out of combat. So there's no

[06:42] punishment for a little experimentation

[06:44] should you like. And while it's not

[06:45] particularly exciting, the Omnon Folio

[06:48] is nice in that it doesn't take up a

[06:50] precious gear slot, and the power gained

[06:52] from it will persist through the

[06:53] entirety of Midnight. So, on the

[06:55] Revelation scale, we rate it about the

[06:58] same as that time you found out that WoW

[07:00] gold seller Steve Bannon was best mates

[07:02] with Jeffrey Epstein. Utterly

[07:04] unsurprising, but weirdly vindicating at

[07:06] the same time. New raid, Sporefall.

[07:09] Raiders, you have not been forgotten.

[07:12] Midnight's fourth raid arrives in 12.0.7

[07:16] in the form of Sporefall, a single boss

[07:19] face off against Rottmire, the adorable

[07:21] giant fungal guy you may have seen

[07:23] hanging around the grudge pit in

[07:24] Harendar. He's adorable, right? Rottme

[07:26] drops gear in the same tier as our other

[07:28] midnight raids, but with the addition of

[07:30] being sporefused, which means that they

[07:33] drop at the maximum item level for each

[07:35] difficulty, with myth gear dropping at a

[07:38] whopping 298.

[07:40] No crests required. And thank goodness

[07:43] cuz I bet you're all really low on

[07:44] crests right now. Yeah. Sporeful will be

[07:46] available on the usual raidfinder,

[07:48] normal, heroic, and mythic difficulties,

[07:51] but it will also of course have the

[07:52] addition of mythic flex. I could hear

[07:56] Immortalis Argent Dawn EU. Yay. And any

[07:59] other guild who's ever got stuck on 19

[08:01] signups for mythic raid knight cheering

[08:03] from all the way over here. Mythic flex

[08:05] difficulty will scale dynamically for

[08:07] groups between 15 to 25 players. Throw

[08:10] some decimus bonus roles in there and

[08:12] myth track gearing in WoW has never been

[08:15] easier. On the revelations scale, the

[08:18] return of mini raids in between the main

[08:19] event ranks on the same sort of level as

[08:22] Brendan Fraser being in movies again.

[08:24] Not exactly world changing, but you're

[08:25] just really glad he still exists and is

[08:27] back and doing okay, you know. New law

[08:30] walking. Learn about the lower. The new

[08:32] zones, Omnium Folio and Sporefall are of

[08:35] course the headlines here, but there's

[08:36] still plenty to keep you busy in 12.0.7.

[08:39] For law completionists, apprentice law

[08:41] walker Ley will be offering a new law

[08:44] walking path or um lower walking path.

[08:47] This new chapter explores the influence

[08:49] of the lower on the Xandelari, Drakari,

[08:51] Gurabashi, and Dark Spear tribes.

[08:53] Completing this chapter awards the tome

[08:55] of kings decor item and of course a

[08:57] wealth of knowledge and insight into the

[09:00] lower and troll culture that might just

[09:03] might I don't know be kind of useful in

[09:05] some upcoming quests. We also have a new

[09:07] mini event in the form of hatching

[09:09] Janali's eggs. Sorry. This is a nice bit

[09:12] of local world building which has us

[09:14] aiding lower speaker Breck with caring

[09:17] for the fire lowower's clutch, raising

[09:18] some baby dragon hawks, and even taking

[09:20] one called Emblein home as a pet.

[09:23] Revelation ranking like finding out

[09:24] sipping pickle juice is surprisingly

[09:26] good for you. Makes you smile even

[09:28] though you'll probably actually never do

[09:29] it. New micro holiday, the Dark Spear

[09:32] Dash. Now this, my friends, is where we

[09:34] get our calendars out. Get them out for

[09:36] the lads. Come on. On June 27th and

[09:38] 28th, the very first officially

[09:41] sanctioned Dark Spear Dash will take

[09:44] place. An event drawing on the annual

[09:46] community organized Running of the

[09:47] Trolls Pride event, which has been going

[09:49] on for 12 years now. It's like pride but

[09:53] with rewards. So even better. Runners

[09:55] can earn the dark spear dasher title, a

[09:58] 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

[10:19] team, Evel here. Have you ever had a

[10:22] brilliant idea and thought, "Yes, this

[10:24] is it. This is the thing. Now I simply

[10:27] need to make a beautiful website and

[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.
