Patch 6.2.3 Live This Week
Patch 6.2.3 goes live this week, bringing some system updates and new rewards:



Official Notes
The official notes were early this time, if you missed them before be sure to check them out now!



Valor and Item Upgrades
Valor Points may be gone, but Valor returns in Patch 6.2.3! Item upgrades are also back, with two upgrade levels at +5 item levels each.

  • You can see a full list of items that can be upgraded here.
  • Upgrading an item costs 250 Valor for +5 item levels.
  • Hellfire Citadel items, Dungeon loot, Baleful items, and crafted profession items can each be upgraded twice, for a total of +10 item levels.
  • You can upgrade lower tiers of crafted items, not just the highest one.
  • There is no hard weekly cap on Valor earned, but the sources of Valor are inherently not infinitely repeatable. You can earn up to 4,875.
  • There is a cap of 5,000 Valor that you can hold at once.
  • Valor can be earned in the following ways:
    • Mythic Dungeon (Valor awarded with dungeon completion, once per dungeon per week) – 300 Valor Points
    • Complete the weekly Event quest from Seer Kazal (Pet Battle Event excluded) – 500 Valor Points
    • Heroic Dungeon (complete your first random Heroic of the day) – 100 Valor Points
    • Raid Finder (once per week per wing) – 150 Valor Points for Hellfire Citadel wings, 75 Valor Points for Highmaul and Blackrock Foundry wings
  • To upgrade, visit your friendly neighborhood ethereal in Orgrimmar and Stormwind, or Stormshield and Warspear.



Increased Reward Item Levels
Mythic dungeons and Baleful items can now proc even higher item level bonuses!

  • Mythic dungeon items can now go from 685 to 725 in 5 level increments.
  • Baleful item can go from 655 to 695 in 5 level increments.
  • Items have a progressively lower chance to be rewarded as item level increases.

WoWDB Addon Data Collection
Quickly populating the database with 6.2.3 additions is done with the help of many players. The more people that contribute data, the faster we can update the database with accurate data.

To help out, just click here if you have Curse Client already installed. If the link doesn't work for you, open Tools -> Options -> Plugins and check the box.

When you are playing the addon will gather data and save it. When you are done playing, Curse Client will see the game close and upload the collected data from the addon. You can see the last time data was uploaded by looking in the Plugins tab of the options, as well as making sure the addon is enabled there. Be sure you have Curse Client open before you close WoW so that the data will upload!

The addon now supports Live, Beta, and the PTR, so be sure to add all of your WoW installs to the client.
