Subject: Patch 1.10 FAQ
   General Stuff

Q. Are the Patch 1.10 Notes out yet?
A.
No. The notes that have been released are for the Public Test Realm.

Q. How is that different?
A.
The Public Test Realm is for testing content and for squashing bugs. It is extremely likely that the Patch Notes will be changed in many areas before official 1.10 release.

Q. So how do I get on the PTR?
A.
See this page: http://test.worldofwarcraft.com/en/copy/character-copy.html

Q. What are these contests I've been hearing about?
A.
See this page: http://www.wow-europe.com/en/contests/ptr-contest/

Q. Why can't my country enter the contests?
A.
Blizzard always try their hardest to include as many players as they can. Unfortunately with some country's laws, that isn't possible

Q. That's BS, I'm a lawyer from <here>!
A.
No you're not.

Q. So, where are these elusive PTR notes being hidden?
A.
Here: http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/underdev/testrealm.html

Q. The US is testing new hardware for their servers. Will Europe get this new hardware too?
A.
Yes. The first test of the new hardware will be on the PTR. The first release will be at a new site around April, which means new realms. Then some of the older hardware will probably be upgraded.



About the notes...

Q. Hmm. The notes say quests completed at level 60 will now provide gold. Will there be anything for people who have already completed quests prior to the patch?
A.
Not that we're aware of. A good idea would be to save your quests until 1.10 hits the shelves. Repeatable quests will only give gold on the first turn-in.

Q. What's the Exp - Gold conversion rate?
A.
1600xp will earn you a shiny gold piece. Enjoy.

Q. Wait a sec. So this new 'casual' set of rares/epics requires the tier 0 set?
A.
Yep. I hope you didn't vend it :)

Q. Weather sounds nice, but is there a way to turn it off?
A.
I can't see why you'd want to, but yes, you can toggle it.

Q. Will /script SpellStopCasting() macros still work in 1.10? :>
A.
Depends on what they do. Most mods/macros should still work with minor changes, but mana conservation AddOns and ones that cancelled spells under certain conditions will indeed be broken.

Q. Will the effects of Zandalarian Hero Charm and Hibernation Crystal (http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=20636) be able to stack?
A.
They operate on different cooldowns with different effects. So yes. Good potential there for some massive healing.

Q. Dire Maul library book quests are no longer repeatable. What quests?
A.
I think it means you can no longer turn in more than one codex of defense to receive a bag of Shen'dralar rep

Q. Do you need the whole set to get the quest, for an example, the bracers?
A.
No, you need the bracers to open up some other pieces, and you need to complete those pieces to get the rest, etc etc. So you do not need the whole set, but some may require pre-requisites, with the bracers first. (Thanks Dirge!)

Q. here do you get the start quest to update your existing blue set from ubrs etc?
A.
Ironforge or Orgrimmar, depending on faction.

Q. I've heard somewhere that Wildheart Gloves will be BoP(Not sure tho), is this true?
A.
All of the hand slot items in the dungeon armor sets are now bind on equip.

Q. Can the human race now provide evidence of a God, considering Feral Bears can dance?
A.
Yes, but no.

Q. What are the new sets called, what do they look like, and what are the set bonuses?
A.
*cough*
