Gladiator Mount Models from The War Within - Armored Gargoyles

We've datamined a handful of new Earthen tools and ornate jeweled weapon models in this week's update for The War Within Alpha! While the tools appear to be fairly basic farm and mining implements, the weapons are similar in style to many of the Earthen weapon and armor models found in last week's build.

Warning: Spoilers for World of Warcraft: The War Within below.

Blizzard held a Content Creator Summit and we participated in a group interview where a couple of kindly devs addressed questions from Content Creators. The devs for this interview were:

The scarecrow-inspired transmog from The War Within has received some enhancements--a claw and back piece. Previously the set looked a bit autumnal, if benign, but with these additions the set takes on a darker fantasy vibe.

Players looking to race through new content might have a bit of a headstart with new Enchantments coming in The War Within — both for Mount Speed and Character Speed! Some particularly interesting Enchantments caught our eye while datamining in The War Within: While most of these Enchantments add the Speed tertiary stat to player character speed, one Enchantment seems to offer an increase in Mounted speed — Cavalry's March. Players have loved effects such as Crusader Aura which increase Mounted speed, and having even a small boost on your Boots would be a welcome gift for players that don't necessarily worry about mix-maxing for raiding or other content.

We have a preliminary list of all enchants available in The War Within expansion. These include many weapon enchants, cursed ring enchants, which boost one stat but reduce another, and even a mount speed enchant! Note that all of this is alpha information, which will likely change before launch based on feedback. Values aren't final, either.

In this post, we're taking a look at all the new «Earthen Dungeon» armor and weapon models in the War Within, presumably from the eight new expansion dungeons. Note that while the weapons come in many colors, the available armor tints are limited--we expect them to increase as the alpha progresses. The cloth set will also have a robe option in the future.

We've datamined new armor models for a very scarecrow-inspired transmog — take a look! It is currently unknown what items these models link to, but they certainly give off farm and harvest vibes.

We're previewing all of the raid weapon models coming with the Nerub'ar Palace raid in The War Within. The weapon designs are inspired by the Nerubians ruled over by Queen Ansurek, who has allied with Xal'atath in return for dark power. If you'd like to learn more about the rich history behind this enigmatic race and their proximity to the Old Gods, check out our lore writeup: The Nerubians in The War Within — What We Know So Far Note that this is an early alpha look at the weapon models, and more colors and weapon types may be added in future builds as there are many icons named «nerubianraid» and some aren't attached to items yet:
