Darkmoon Faire In Town -- Patch 5.2 Changes
The Darkmoon Faire is back in town this week! We've updated our Darkmoon Faire guide for Patch 5.2, and also checked it out on the 5.3 PTR, where we did not find any new major changes.
Check out the complete Darkmoon Faire guide here!
Patch 5.2 launched right in the middle of last month's fair, so if you missed it with all
the new 5.2 things
to do, here's a recap:
There are two new hats,
Dunkelmond-Zylinder
and
Dunkelmond-Anglermütze
, as well as the chance to get a Darkmoon pet inside
Dunkelmond-Spielpreis
from dailies.
Darkmoon Faire Hats
The stylish
Dunkelmond-Zylinder

Small chance to be found in
Dunkelmond-Spielpreis

When you use the item, you initially summon a bunch of fireworks. For the duration of the buff, your character will appear to wear a fun purple hat. This hat periodically sparkles and has small fireworks.

Battle Pet Tamer Guide: Locations, Quests, and Rewards
Battle Pet Tamers are a great way to level up pets and get battle pet rewards, but they're sometimes hard to track down since they're scattered all over the place. 5.1 also added the
Safarihelm
for completing
Die Zähmung der Welt
, which boosts battle pet experience gained by 10%.
This guide covers the locations of all the battle pet tamers, as well as the tamer quests and rewards. We've also included maps and screenshots to the pet tamers, and if you'd like to see the exact stats and breeds of their pets, you can easily find them on the

5.3 PTR: Valley of Spirits Shut Down, Pet Battle Accuracy Changes
Today's newspost covers two very different types of battles on the PTR--Battlefield: Barrens and pet battle changes. Since our
post last week on the Horde Rebellion
, we've found a few more signs of strife in the area and it's now been included in the
official 5.3 PTR Patch Notes
. Most notably, the Valley of Spirits has been shut down in 5.3 under Kor'kron surveillance.
And if you prefer lighter combat, pet battles are getting some accuracy changes in 5.3 to keep combat from feeling repetitive.
Valley of Spirits Shut Down
The first time we previewed Orgrimmar on the PTR, Kor'kron guards were keeping the troll section of Orgrimmar on lockdown. But things have gotten even worse--they've terrified the NPCs to the point where the Valley of Spirits has been shut down. Players cannot access the Auction House, Banks, class trainers, profession trainers, and all vendors. (Suddenly, those pet snakes from
Xan'tish
like
Schwarze Königsnatter
may be rare...)
In addition, the portal to Blasted Lands has been removed, and

Updated 5.3 PTR Patch Notes and Patch 5.2 Hotfixes
Blizzard just posted some Patch 5.2 Hotfixes on their US blog, as well as updated 5.3 PTR Patch Notes earlier today on their EU blog. Here's the highlights:
Horde Rebellion:
The
Horde Rebellion we noticed last week on the 5.3 PTR
is now officially in the notes and called "Quest Campaign: Escalation."
Players complete quests to support the Darkspear in rebelling against Garrosh, and destroy Kor'kron NPCs and their supply carts in the Northern Barrens.
As rewards, players get
Latent Kor’kron Armor
which can be turned into a spec-appropriate ilvl 476 epic.
Brawler's Guild:
Rank 9 and 10 bosses have been added to the Brawler's Guild. (Not in notes: Rank 10 players can purchase
Kräftiges Mushan des Grubenkämpfers
on the PTR.)
Rank 8 players can access special VIP areas.

Diablo III for Console: Press Kit and PAX East Interview
Last weekend at PAX East, we checked out the Diablo III console demo in addition to covering
Hearthstone, Blizzard's new game
!
While Diablo III may seem easy to adapt for console play, there are a lot of quality-of-life changes:
In multiplayer mode, you'll be able to play side-by-side, as well as via the network. The camera will zoom out to accommodate players separated.
Fewer items drop from mobs, but they tend to be high quality. Items you wish to vendor can also be tagged as junk while fighting.
Higher-quality items drop from the console version because there is no Auction House as a means of obtaining gear.
Console monsters have a staggered combat rhythm, as being surprised by a cluster of mobs is exciting and fun on a PC, but less so with console mechanics.
A new event queue shows recent buffs and items looted. Symbols will pop up for all recent items showing how much of an upgrade or downgrade it is, for easy reference.
