Patch 6.2.3 is finally upon us, bringing Valor, item upgrades, and the infamous moose mount to World of Warcraft. But if you’ve been out of the game for a while, the whole of patch 6.2 has brought a lot of new content to the game, including a new zone to explore, a new raid to run, and your very own shipyard that you’ll use to build a fleet of seafaring vessels. Check out all our patch 6.2 content — and 6.2.3 content — below.

 | We think the Mesmerizing Fruit Hat is possibly the game’s most amazing addition since Pepe. Though it was datamined way back in Warlords of Draenor beta, it only seems to have popped up in the game in patch 6.2.3 where it hid, unseen, in Pandaria until sharp-eyed Wowhead user Aetropos spotted it.

Patch 6.2.2

| The big news with WoW patch 6.2.2 is of course the introduction of flying in Draenor. You have to finish a fairly involved achievement, Draenor Pathfinder, to unlock it. Once you do, it’s good for all the characters on your account. There are even new mobs that can only be accessed by flying, and they drop all new rewards. But there’s more to this patch than gaining access to the skies. Read more... |

The badges are easy to get but will require some farming. Read more... |

 | I’d planned to write about Timewalking before I’d even had a chance to try it. I love the idea of using scaling technology to revisit instances that have become part of the distant past. Heroic Burning Crusade dungeons in particular are some of the first challenging group content I ever did. Plus, it’s a sensible thing for Mages to be doing, considering our time-bending abilities.
