News

Shaman Challenge: No new finishers, but Rokica and Settlersrule both reached 100

From last week: Artifact Knowledge 55 cap reached

7.3.5 hit the PTR

Zone levels: While the continent zones all have the same upper limit, the lower limit varies, more or less matching the lowest level needed to enter the zones today (so no going from 10-60 in Silithus)

In the 1-60 Azeroth zones, once you hit 40 you can go anywhere
