SWP First kills, Hyjal changes, Arena tournament, blue posts

[RSS News Poster]

We've got plenty of blue posts to cover today, but you can probably expect more "unofficial" news for tomorrow.

Sunwell Plateau world first kills
We had plenty of them on the PTRs but hey, they're still world first kills (and bosses were slightly modified since their last appearance on PTRs) ! The first 3 bosses of the Sunwell Plateau have been killed, the following guilds got the world firsts :

• V A N Q U I S H (US-Cho'gall) was the first guild to kill Kalecgos.
• Blood Legion (US-Illidan) was the first guild to kill Brutallus.
• Curse / SK-Gaming was the first guild to kill Felmyst. (And before you ask, yes, Curse guild left meet Your makers to join SK-Gaming, you can read a full interview about this change on SK-Gaming.)

And while we're talking about Sunwell Plateau, please note that [item=34183] doesn't drop from Felmyst anymore and drop from trash mobs instead.


Hyjal summit and Zul'aman changes in 2.4
I already posted about the additions of The Fists of Fury to the Hyjal Summit trash loot table yesterday, but we now have a lot more details about all the changes made to Hyjal Summit in 2.4

• You now get 12 reputation points for each mob killed.
• Frostwyrms give 60 reputation points.
• Bosses give 375 reputation points.
• You should get about 6~7k reputation points for a single run.
• The area around Archimonde in Battle for Mount Hyjal has been decreased in size and players are no longer able to go into the hills around his area. (Source)

Also, I didn't really know where to add this Zul'aman change in today's news, but it looks like [item=33421] now gives 40 defense rating instead of 40 block rating.


Sunwell Heroic rewards ETA - About a month
Blizzard expects most of the servers to reach the 3rd phase of the Offensive within a month, at this point the "Anvil" will be taken and the new badge vendor will become available.

While it's going to differ for each realm we expect it to take about a month for the the "Anvil" to be taken, and the new badge vendor that accompanies it to become available.

Participating in all of the Shattered Sun Offensive-related daily quests contribute to your realm's progress in taking back each section of the island. So lend a hand! Only you can prevent Fel-Infestion! Give a hoot, don't ... avoid doing the daily quests. Where's the Anvil! How many daily quests does it take to get to the center of Quel'Danas? etc. etc.
