What Blizzard said

Blizzard's own posts that name 12.1.7, captured by our tracker. The reason an entry below exists is in these words, not ours; each is linked to the original.

Blizzard published New build 12.1.7.70424 on the Retail PTR: 1,569 new items, 5,886 new spells, 31 new currencies, 302 new creatures under 12.1.7 on Oct 15, 2026.

New mounts

The build adds 27 mounts. Where the client records how a mount is obtained (its source text names the vendor, drop, quest or achievement), that fact is printed as the game holds it; a mount without one is listed by name only.

  • Ashen Dreadglider (Discovery). Far more vicious and resilient than the run-of-the-mill dreadbats of Revendreth, the Ashen Dreadglider gains its strength from a...
  • Autumn Dream Jumper (Drop). As the winter night dawns, and spring lily's fade, the Autumn Jumpers jump, under the summer moon's shade.
  • Cerulean Prideclaw (Trading Card Game). A fierce and loyal mount that will accompany you on all your journeys.
  • Corrupted Swarmer (Drop): Vendor: Estelia Archtender; Zone: Silvermoon City.
  • Giant Grrloc (Discovery). It's one of the biggest murlocs you've ever seen!
  • Hot Motocross Bunmover 4000. Warning: Contents may be hot and delicious.

The full list of 27 is in the Mounts table below.

New items

The build adds 1,569 items. Slot and binding come from the item record itself.

  • other items: Ensemble: Forest Dweller's Muddied Attire (rare, bind on pickup); Ensemble: Ornaments of the Night Court Butterfly (rare, bind on pickup); Ensemble: Prowler's Lively Headgear (uncommon, bind on pickup); Ensemble: Prowler's Plum Headgear (uncommon, bind on pickup); Focus Potion (common)
  • one-hand weapon items: Fae Courier's Gavel (rare, bind on pickup); Fae Courier's Sword (rare, bind on pickup)
  • ranged weapon items: Fae Courier's Longbow (rare, bind on pickup)
  • two-hand weapon items: Fae Courier's Polearm (rare, bind on pickup)
  • ranged items: Fae Courier's Wand (rare, bind on pickup)

The remaining 1,529 are in the Items table below.

New spells and talent changes

The build adds 5,886 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 talent tree data (trait node entries) shows 711 added and 31 changed entries in the same build.

  • Angry Roar
  • Assassinate
  • Assassinate
  • Collect
  • Collect
  • Common Fit

All 5,886 are in the Spells table below.

New achievements

The build adds 161 achievements. Each line quotes the achievement's own description from the client, which is the criteria text a player sees.

All 161 are in the Achievements table below.

New maps and zones

The client's map and area tables gained 11 new map records (Battle for Dazar'Alor, Quillgrave, Seat of the Pantheon and Silvermoon City) and 40 new area records (Akil'zon's Roost, Augurs' Terrace, Brightwing Estate and Central Chamber). A new map record is how a zone, instance or scenario first appears in the client, usually before any quest or encounter references it.

New creatures

The build adds 302 creatures 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.

  • Aggramar
  • Aggramar
  • Ainsley Sicard

New Text and Housing Records

New lines of in-game text (NPC speech and emotes) this build added, a sample:

  • “But before she could unleash her grief-fueled rage upon Orgrimmar, Kalecgos appeared. He asked Jaina if this was what she wanted her legacy to be--to be another Arthas, murdering a city in cold blood.”
  • “Garrosh convinced the once-neutral Sunreavers to help him reclaim a dark artifact intended to be used as a weapon against the Alliance. When Jaina discovered this, the consequences were swift.”
  • “There was no telling what kind of reception she'd encounter on her arrival. And so Jaina prepared to journey home, the memories of her past actions haunting her every step of the way.”
  • “But her reputation in her homeland was ruined the moment she turned her father over to the Horde so long ago. Kul Tiras viewed her as a traitor, responsible for their leader's death.”
  • “Jaina's father Daelin didn't just object to the Horde, he wanted it wiped out. He sailed to Theramore to rescue Jaina from the Horde, refusing to listen when she called them allies.”
  • “Jaina founded the city of Theramore along Kalimdor's coast, hoping to foster better relations with the Horde. But it seemed the only one who agreed with her ideals was Thrall.”
  • “The Council of Six outvoted Jaina, agreeing that in order to defend the world against the Legion, the Alliance and Horde had to work together again, just as they had on Hyjal.”
  • “Clues lay in the ruins of titan facilities filled with strange, advanced technology. As we've explored, more and more debate has sparked among Azeroth's greatest scholars.”

Other builds

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.
