WoW TWW 11.1 Patch Notes - All Changes to Items

With the new The War Within "Undermine(d)" hitting live servers, Blizzard has posted some very significant patch notes, detailing all of the changes, additions and quality-of-life adjustments to World of Warcraft.

With that being said, we will take a look at all of the changes to Items for WoW TWW 11.1 so you can stay up to date with the updates to World of Warcraft.

The War Within Item Changes

• Item effects that increase their damage for each enemy struck while splitting between all enemies (sometimes known as "meteor damage") increased by 100%.

Developers' notes: Trinkets of this type tend to scale very poorly compared to stat trinkets in area-of-effect situations. While this change is not necessarily intended to put them on par with each other, it should make them more competitive overall.

• Completing the Feat of Strength for achieving Keystone Master, or 1600+ in rated PvP, or killing the final raid boss on Heroic or Mythic difficulty now grants one additional Catalyst charge as a reward.

Developers’ notes: This previously awarded a token for one set armor piece. We feel that the time has come to move on from earning and redeeming class set armor tokens at their vendors for a desired armor variant. Players will now want to find an eligible Veteran-track or higher armor piece to convert at the Catalyst, and these can be acquired from many sources around Undermine.

• The Intellect and Stamina values given by Daybreak, Sunset, and Weavercloth Spellthread in The War Within have been adjusted to match the Agility/Strength and Stamina values given by their Armor Kit counterparts for better parity. These changes apply to existing enchantments, and do not require re-applying a spellthread for updated values.

Developers' notes: In most instances this is a significant increase, with 1-star/2-star quality of the Weavercloth Spellthread being reduced in potency. For example, a 3-star quality Sunset Spellthread goes from +747 Intellect / +230 Stamina to +930 Intellect / +895 Stamina. Meanwhile, a 2-star quality Weavercloth Spellthread goes from +536 Intellect to +525 Intellect.

• Remaining Bronze Celebration Tokens from the 20th Anniversary Event have been converted to Timewarped Badges. The exchange is 20 Timewarped Badges for each Bronze Celebration Token matching the boxes that were on the event vendor.
• Sureki Zealot's Insignia's mana restoration effect reduced by 50% and requires direct healing to trigger. 

Developers' notes: As groups acquired more of these rare necklaces as Season 1 progressed, its effect had a greater impact on the mana management than intended. This was particularly true for Restoration Druids who could trigger it significantly more often than other healers.

• Spymaster's Web passive stack and on-use Intellect decreased by 10%.
• Treacherous Transmitter primary stat effect decreased by 5%.
• Singing Citrine's heal effects reduced by 33% for damage dealer and tank specializations.
• Roaring War-Queen's Citrine chance to trigger has been reduced slightly.
• Fixed an issue where Dragonflight Season 4 gear required a Catalyst charge to be turned into tier.
• Fixed an issue where some food/drink could stack with Conjured Mana Bun to stack regen rates. The most recently consumed will take priority.

And that covers the most important tidbits of the changes to Items available in patch 11.1. Best of luck on your runs, and remember to have fun in this new goblin-themed adventure.
