New items
The build adds 1 item. Slot and binding come from the item record itself.
The build adds 9 spells. Spell records are the noisiest family in a client build (every new item effect, aura and NPC ability is one), so the names below are examples and the true count is the number that matters.
The build adds 1 creature to the creature table: the NPCs, bosses and critters the new content is built from. Spawn locations are server-side and are not in the client, so only the names are known.
Computed from build record 2109 (12.1.0.69273) to build record 2455 (12.1.0.69283). Every count on this page is the number of rows that changed between those two records.
What each spell listed above is and who uses it, read from the current game data: school, cast time and duration, the skill line or Adventure Guide boss it belongs to, and its tooltip with amounts left out (they scale with level and gear).
Barrier Integrity Changed in this build: aura text. Physical, instant. Aura text before: “Free Jimothy by siphoning the barrier's energy!” After: “An odd little raccoon seems to have gotten into some magical garbage. Free him by siphoning off the arcane energy!”
Magical Trash Changed in this build: name. Physical, instant. Name before: “Cosmetic Orbs” After: “Magical Trash”
Collect Venom Scholar's Focus New in this build. Physical, 0.5 sec cast. Current tooltip: “Add this Decor to your House Chest.”
Collect Venomjade Necklace New in this build. Physical, 0.5 sec cast. Current tooltip: “Add this Decor to your House Chest.”
J'imothy New in this build. Physical, instant. Taught through the Companions skill line. Current tooltip: “Right Click to summon and dismiss this companion.”
Each World of Warcraft game build is compared field-by-field against the previous build of
the same version line. Added, changed and removed records are read directly from the client
database, not from patch notes. Prices shown are the game's own vendor values, formatted with
live coin denominations; where a value is unknown it is left blank rather than guessed.
Counts are the true totals for the build; where a heading reads "40 of 11,892" the rows
under it are that many examples, and a record the client has not named yet is left out
rather than printed as an id. A removed record is shown by name without a link, because
the entry it pointed at is gone from the client. Every build lands in the
patch news feed the day it is ingested.
