New items

The build adds 22 items. Slot and binding come from the item record itself.

The remaining 1 are in the Items table below.

New spells and talent changes

The build adds 22 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.

All 22 are in the Spells table below.

What to watch

For what is still coming in 12.1.5, Blizzard's own Midnight: 12.1.5 PTR Development Notes is the official list; the records above are what the client holds today and can change before the patch goes live.

How this page is built

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.
