The 2018 version of the Winter Veil event is now underway and our guides have been fully updated (Version 7.0.19562 ) to reflect the new changes to the quests and achievements. Elite Members can download this update at no additional cost using the Zygor Guides Client. Members who own the previous standalone version of the Dailies and Events guide also receive the update.
We’ve just sent out a new update (Version 7.0.19513) which includes all our content updates for Patch 8.1. You can easily find all the new content added from the What’s New section of the Home Screen Menu. If you’re not sure where to start be sure to read through Zygor’s Guide Roadmap For Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance.
Also, if you encounter any problems with the update, see our post on the Important AddOn Directory Changes For Patch 8.1, as it contains important information that may explain why you’re encountering issues.
Once you’ve had time to check out all the new content be sure to let us know what you think of the update in our comments and forum. The team worked very hard on this update and we’re excited for you guys to dive into it all. Happy gaming and we’ll see you on the other side!
When Patch 8.1 goes live and your game client is updated Blizzard will be making some changes to how your installation directory is organized. The key change is that all versions of the game will be housed in the same parent folder, but under separate subfolders (_retail_, _ptr_, _beta_) and the Data folder will now be shared between installations. This will reduce the amount of space required for multiple versions of the game.
We will be sending out client updates (Java Client version 3.2.346 | Beta Client version 0.1.28) that should automatically detect when this change occurs and update your installation directories accordingly. However, in case there is an issue, you will be able to update your directories manually.
Patch 8.1 “Tides of Vengeance” will be the first major content patch in the Battle for Azeroth update cycle. It will go live on Tuesday, December 11th, and Zygor Guides will have updates ready to go as soon as this content launches!
Leveling Experience Changes
The amount of experience needed in past expansions is being decreased by 10-40% for each level.
Classic: -5% to -40% per level
Burning Crusade/Wrath of the Lich King: -26% to -40% per level
Cataclysm/Mists of Pandaria: -25% per level
Warlords of Draenor: -25% per level
Legion: -25% per level
Battle for Azeroth: -0.03% to -0.05% per level
Continued War Campaign
The Alliance and Horde War Campaigns that began at launch will be continued and our guides have been updated accordingly. The events of these campaigns will lead up to the Battle of Dazar’alor Raid and Raid Guide coming shortly after the release of 8.1.
Dwarf and Blood Elf Heritage Armor
Heritage armor sets are cosmetic rewards unique to each race. The set is unlocked account-wide, and can be worn or transmogged by any character of that race.
For Patch 8.1 we have added new guides for obtaining the Dwarf and Blood Elf Heritage armor, which are the first non-Allied races to get their Heritage Armor.
To complete this guide, you will need a level 120 Dwarf of Blood Elf exalted with their races home city (Ironforge and Silvermoon City respectively).
Note: Unlike Allied Races, you do NOT need to level from scratch to 110 or 120. You just need to be 120 and you will have access to the questline.
Tyrande and Saurfang Storylines
Patch 8.1 will focus heavily on character driven story telling and will expand on the story of characters like Tyrande and Saurfang with all new questlines that are covered in our guides.
We’ve also added an achievement guide for the “Spirits Be With You” achievement, which was actually added at the launch of BfA but it is the start of a new storyline focused on Vol’jin the will be expanded in Patch 8.1 with our upcoming guide for “The Shadow Hunter” achievement.
Questline To Unlock Darkshore Warfront
Tides of Vengeance will add a new Warfront called “Battle for Darkshore” involving the Night Elves versus the Forsaken. You’ll be able to use our guide to unlock this warfront.
Arathi and Darkshore World Quests
In addition to the Warfronts, Patch 8.1 will also add new World Quests to these zones along with a new “Service Medals” currency (7th Legion Service Medal and Honorbound Service Medal) which are awarded from Warfronts and World Quests, and can be used to buy pets, mounts, and toys.
There will also be even more World Quests added to Zandalar and Kul Tiras as well.
Incursions
At random times zones will come “under attack” by the opposing faction and the existing world quests will be replaced by 4 new ones that reward Azerite Power
These are similar to Invasions in Legion and will be labeled as “Assaults” on the map. These will be a good alternative way to level your characters/alts while they are available.
