The Queue: Pre-patch questions

By Alex Ziebart
Editor-in-Chief, Emeritus

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

PFUZZYBUNNY ASKED:

Did they say that Demon Hunters would be available on the day the patch drops?

No. They’ll be available before the launch of the expansion, but it’s unknown exactly how early. They’ll be available no later than August 17, though.

SOELJUMNER ASKED:

Forgive me if this information lives somewhere or has been asked/answered, will the early access demon hunters be able to head to Warlords content? Will they finish the intro and be stuck in stasis until launch? If I pre-purchased and get my DH by August 17th(or w/e the date is) could I gear her and run HFC or Mythics?

You’ll first need to do the Demon Hunter introductory questline, but then you’ll free to do whatever you want, yes. The quest will ultimately leave you in Stormwind/Orgrimmar. You’ll be able to participate in the pre-release invasion event — or go run Molten Core if you so desire. Whatever you want to do. The only thing you can’t do is access other Legion content early. Demon Hunters don’t get a head start in the Broken Isles. They need to wait until the official release date like everyone else.

QUANTONICA ASKED:

So with us fighting the Scourge again will there be bunches of mobs yelling DR. PEPPER at us during battle ??

… What?

BOOTY BAY BREWING CO ASKED:

I apologize if this has been asked and answered already today, but since the announcement about the pre-patch and guides, there was NO mention about gnome hunters, I had thought that they would be available when the pre-patch drops. Is this something that we will need to wait for the actual expansion or will they be available with the pre-patch ??

They’ll be available in the pre-patch. New races/class combos always are.

VALENCEMAGI ASKED:

with wardrobe, what’s the point of Void Storage? Or is that going away in Legion?

Void Storage will certainly be less important than it was before, but I imagine some people will still use it. There are a few items I won’t throw away, even if it’s in my wardrobe collection. Benediction/Anathema, for example. There’s no way I’m getting rid of that. But I’m not likely to pull it out and use it anytime soon, either. It might as well live in Void Storage.

ROGUESIGYN ASKED:

Will Primal Spirits and Primal Spirit trader in our garrisons stay the way they are in Legion?

I’ve got more than 5k Primal Spirits and I’m wondering if I need to use them on something now or can I just wait. Bloods and reagents being the most obvious choice to make crafted gear for transmog.

The vendors will still be there, but if you want some quick cash, I recommend using your Primal Spirits now. You can get a Savage Blood for 25 Primal Spirits, then trade it in at the Trading Post for a Bloody Gold Purse. Right now, a Bloody Gold Purse for 50g. 50g is roughly what Savage Bloods are selling for on my server’s Auction House right now, so I’ve decided I might as well cut out the auction house altogether and go for the Purse. If your server is in the same situation, trading in 5,000 Spirits will net you an instant 10,000g. I might be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure that trade won’t be available come Legion. Garrisons won’t be spewing out gold anymore.

The Bloody Gold Purse method has earned me more gold than trying to mess around with craftables which exist in abundance due to everyone being able to make them so easily.
