5.4 PTR: Timeless Isle Pets, Screenshots and World Bosses
One of the new zones coming in Patch 5.4 is the
永恒岛
, the location for an upcoming pet tournament and fighting the August Celestials as world bosses. In this initial preview, we'll look at the pet rewards, zone screenshots, and the Dungeon Journals for the Celestials.
Pet Tournament
These following pets are tied to the Pet Tournament in the PTR Pet Journal:

News Roundup: Ghostcrawler Tweets, Patch 5.3 Tribute NPCs
5.3 Flavor NPCs
Patch 5.2 introduced some quirky world details like a
Fire Kitty disguise
and
Mistborn tribute
, and it looks like Patch 5.3 is continuing this trend with some interesting additions. This weekend, users found several interesting NPCs added in Patch 5.3 in obscure locations!
First up there's
Elariel
, the epitome of a successful classic-era rogue. She wears full
Bloodfang Armor
with a
雷霆之怒，逐风者的祝福之剑
and faithful
座狼幼崽
besides her. The
座狼幼崽
used to be a reward from a long LBRS questline in vanilla.
Next to her are clickable pots of
Assassin's Grade Blinding Powder
and
Assassin's Grade Flash Powder

5.2 PTR: Thunder Isle Zone Preview
In this latest PTR build,
雷神岛
is open for testing. It's an island with faction hubs and daily quests, similar to
奎尔丹纳斯岛
, and we were able to take screenshots of all the new populated areas, mobs, and architecture!
Check out our
list of 5.2 daily quests
for the two new Thunder Isle factions!
There is a weekly quest,
破碎的侍从官
, that players can pick up from a broken Mogu artifact spawning anywhere around the zone. It rewards you with
雷神宫殿钥匙
, and as you search the island, the key periodically whispers and taunts you.
There are also randomly-spawning treasure chests,
Trove of the Thunder King
, which can contain a
山泽仪式石
, used for summoning elites around the island.
Completing a day's worth of dailies for your faction rewards you with
魔法藏品
or
夺日者奖品
, which can contain funny items like
关于禁忌魔法

5.2 PTR Zone Preview: Isle of Giants, Isle of the Thunder King
The 5.2 PTR opened up today, and while it's still a work in progress, we have some visual previews of the new zones for you!
The
Isle of Giants
is a small tropical isle to the north of Kun-Lai Summit that features the new world boss,
Oondasta
, a troll dinosaur.
The
Isle of the Thunder King
is able to be explored in an incomplete scenario form.
Edit: as of 1/3, these scenarios have been locked, most likely to fix some bugs.
This is the location for the new 5.2 raid, new quest hubs featuring the Kirin Tor Offensive and Sunreaver Onslaught, a new world boss, a Lightning Forge used to craft weapons with distinctive or formerly-removed models, and a Shipyard, Main Courtyard, and Treasure Room.

Pet Battles: Wild Battle Pets by Zone
Capturing wild battle pets is a new way to obtain companion pets in Mists of Pandaria, and it is one of the primary ways of acquiring pets for your pet battle team.
Wild battle pets can be tracked on your minimap: you can have your team fight them for experience, or capture one at low health to add it to your collection. Pet families have strengths and weaknesses against other types, so choose your opponents wisely. There are different versions of each pet--some with more stats than others--so you could get lucky and end up capturing a really strong version! There's also many

We've made tables below of all the wild battle pets, organized by continent and color-coded by type. With this chart, you can see what pets are unique to various zones, and also which pet types are pretty scarce--Dragonkin and Mechanical especially. All the data was taken from our

Mists of Pandaria Zone Preview: Vale of Eternal Blossoms
锦绣谷
, a zone for max-level players, is the seat of the Pandaren empire. Sealed shut for many years, it's open to travelers for the first time after completing Xuen, the White Tiger's trials, in

. It is the location of the Alliance and Horde major faction hubs in Pandaria, as well as daily quests with
金莲教

魔古山宫殿

The faction hubs are very elaborate--Blizzard said they wanted them to make Dalaran look simple in comparison, and they achieved that! The faction hubs have all the amenities of major cities, as well as floors dedicated to introducing players to the level-90 Pandaren factions and scenarios with breadcrumb quests.
Mogu'Shan Palace
Between the Alliance and Horde settlements is Mogu'Shan Palace, the heart of the original Mogu empire. There are two points of interest here: the Lorewalkers and Mogu'Shan Palace, a 5-player dungeon.

The environment of Townlong Steppes, grassy fields with large healthy trees, is completely twisted here, with everything vivid shades of blue and purple. To combat the insanity,

The Pandaren have no other choice but to bravely enter Townlong and investigate the majestic empire of the Mantids--while also dealing with the vicious Yaungol, enraged by the Mantid's attacks on their territory.

Cross-Realm Zones Introduced
With the latest beta patch, we’ve introduced Cross-Realm Zones for testing.
During the initial phase of testing we will be sharing the following zones between the available beta realms: Northern Barrens, Ashenvale, Azshara, Darkshore, Westfall, and Silithus. We are also able to split over-populated zones and will be testing this new technology on the Pandaren starting area (turtle zone).
For beta testing purposes, we will be matching up all realm types whether they are PvP or PvE. This is different than what we plan to do for the live realms, however. For the live realms we will be matching realm types: PvP with PvP, PvE with PvE, RP-PvP with RP-PvP, and RP-PvE with RP-PvE.
As always, we plan to keep an eye on constructive feedback while in testing of this new technology.
For more information on Cross-Realm sharing, please read the FAQ below:

Kun-Lai is different from the other zones in that there's a ton of scenic variety between the quest hubs, from snowy mountains to forests.

Frostbitten: Guide to All Rares, Part 2
We covered a number of rare spawns in
Beyond Bloody Rare: A Guide to Rares
last year, but we found even more fun ones we wanted to share with you!
While some rares drop a random assortment of greens, a fair amount have specific loot associated with them--some for transmog, some just for status or bank alts. Rares have a ton of personality with their unique models and names, usually after pop-culture references, so it's fun when their loot has some humor as well. We scanned all the rares in the database to see which ones had anything notable!
In this guide, we've provided mouseover images of the rares, maps, and links to any unique loot drops.
In the previous guide, we covered: rares for achievements, hunter tames, notably-named ones from classic instances and zones, and Cataclysm rares.
A note on droprates: many of these mobs had their levels and loot tables adjusted in Cataclysm. Drops that were nearly guaranteed from mobs are now extremely rare. If the loot's been rescaled for Cataclysm though to match a mob's new level, chances are it still exists in game--as several users have reported. If an item's level doesn't match a mob's l
