Patch 7.1’s Karazhan attunement requires ilevel 850 followers

Note: This information was based on early PTR datamining, which is always open to change or misinterpretation. Karazhan attunement does not require a follower mission. The post as originally written remains below.

Patch 7.1 hit the PTR this evening and includes numerous changes, tooltip updates, and miscellania — but most important, it’s the patch which includes the updated Karazhan dungeon. Before you can run the dungeon, you must be attuned, and attunement involves an ilevel 850 Order Hall mission. If, like me, your followers in the live game are all still below ilevel 800, we have some work to do before patch 7.1 goes live. Of course, the attunement requirements aren’t the only Karazhan details in the PTR build.

The Karazhan boss encounters are a blend of new and old, eliminating some notorious nuisances and bringing a new Legion twist to the table. The in-game Dungeon Journal lists the following encounters:

• Maiden of Virtue
• Opera
  • Wikket (Wicked)
  • Westfall Story (West Side Story)
  • Beautiful Beast (Beauty and the Beast)
• Attumen the Huntsman
• Moroes
• The Curator
• Shade of Medivh
• Mana Devourer
• Viz’aduum the Watcher

Shade of Medivh directly replaces Shade of Aran, including the infamous Flame Wreath. Datamining suggests the new Attumen the Huntsman will continue dropping his mount — rather, an updated version of it.

Two Karazhan-themed mounts so far! https://t.co/QxrHKPkheG pic.twitter.com/CnCnYhgcZj
