The patch notes for the Patch 4.1 have been updated once again. Everything indicates that this is one of the last times that we will see the notes update and, if all goes well, we should see Patch 4.1 on the servers in two weeks.
If you still don't know what Patch 4.1 includes, don't miss out on our content guide for this patch!
If you want to see the changes included in the notes, you can read them behind the jump.
Dungeons and Raids
- Dungeon Finder
- Players will now earn additional rewards 7 times per week (while earning less than 980 Valor Points) instead of once per day when using the Dungeon Finder).
- When there is only 1 player left in the Dungeon Finder party, they can now queue up for replacement while queuing for at least 2 minutes or staying in the dungeon.
- Once the dungeon is complete, the eligible player will receive a Wallet of Exotic Mysteries (linked to account) with various potential rewards, including: gold, rare gems, vanity pets, and mounts (very rare).
