  • Transmog Outfit & Slot Costs Lowered By 90% – Mists of Pandaria Classic

    Transmog Outfit & Slot Costs Lowered By 90% – Mists of Pandaria Classic

    Transmog Costs Slashed 90% in Mists of Pandaria Classic

    Blizzard has implemented a hotfix reducing Transmog outfit and per-slot gold costs by 90% in Mists of Pandaria Classic. The change was confirmed in a brief Blizzard forum update announcing the reduction had gone live.

    This follows the arrival of the retail-style Transmog system in MoP Classic, which sparked feedback that initial prices felt out of step with Classic gold economies. For context on that reaction and the hotfix, see Wowhead’s coverage of the cost change.

    Blizzard’s rolling hotfix notes also state that the earlier patch had set these prices too high unintentionally. That note appears in the Mists of Pandaria Classic Hotfixes thread updated on June 3.

    • Transmog outfit save costs reduced by 90%.
    • Transmog per-slot application costs reduced by 90%.

    Practically, this makes building and swapping appearances far more approachable on mains and alts. If you’ve been holding off on saving a few core outfits (raid, PvP, or just a favorite look), the new pricing makes that planning much easier on your gold. You’ll still pay a fee, but the hit to your purse is a fraction of what it was.

    Note: Blizzard’s posts confirm the 90% reduction going forward. They do not mention any refunds or retroactive adjustments for earlier transactions.

    If you want the source posts directly, Blizzard’s announcement is here: Transmog Outfit and Slot Costs Lowered, with additional developer context in the June 3 hotfix notes. For a quick recap of how we got here, Wowhead’s news post summarizes the community feedback that led to the adjustment.

  • Blizzard fixes legendary questline blocker in MoP Classic hotfix

    Blizzard fixes legendary questline blocker in MoP Classic hotfix

    Legendary questline blocker fixed in latest Mists of Pandaria Classic hotfix

    Blizzard has issued a Mists of Pandaria Classic hotfix that clears a bug blocking progress on the legendary questline and restores access to replacement cloaks. The update also includes a handful of PvP, world, and quality-of-life fixes. You can read a concise roundup via Wowhead’s report on the hotfix, which cites Blizzard’s notes from June 3, 2026 (Wowhead: Legendary questline bugs fixed).

    Here are the player-facing highlights called out in the notes:

    • Legendary: A bug that prevented some players from starting/continuing the legendary questline and from buying replacement cloaks has been fixed.
    • Transmog: Outfit and slot costs were reduced by 90%, after being unintentionally high in patch 5.5.4.
    • World: Prideful Gladiator gear was removed from World Boss loot (it was temporarily and unintentionally rewarded).
    • PvP: Battle Fatigue now functions correctly.
    • Currency: Warforged Seals now use their expected rolling weekly cap.
    • Travel: Spectral Gryphon and Spectral Wind Rider can be mounted as intended.

    Blizzard’s rolling hotfix post was also updated on June 9–10 with a few additional fixes worth noting, including a Siege of Orgrimmar mechanic correction (Blizzard blue post: MoP Classic hotfixes):

    • Daily quests: Hilda Hornswaggle and other NPCs should now be present for their Ruins of Ogudei dailies.
    • Orgrimmar: Sylstrasza and Kyanite Stonetender should once again be present atop Grommash Hold.
    • Items: Cooldown-reduction trinkets will continue to function while loading screens are active.
    • Raid: In Siege of Orgrimmar, Siegecrafter Blackfuse’s Saw Blades now damage Automated Shredders.

    Note: If you were stuck on the legendary questline or missing access to a replacement cloak, check back in with your usual quest and vendor NPCs after this hotfix. Blizzard’s notes indicate those paths should be available again, though they did mention the issue only affected some realms.

    From a UI and tracking perspective, two changes may save you headaches: Warforged Seals should now line up with any weekly-cap tracking you use, and cooldown-reduction trinkets should behave more consistently through loading screens. If you maintain WeakAuras or timers that touch those features, it’s a good moment to verify everything still reads correctly after the hotfix.

    If more MoP Classic adjustments land this week, we’ll update with anything that impacts quest flow, raid mechanics, or common UI tracking.

  • Mists of Pandaria Classic Phase 5 launches June 2 with Siege of Orgrimmar and Timeless Isle

    Mists of Pandaria Classic Phase 5 launches June 2 with Siege of Orgrimmar and Timeless Isle

    Mists of Pandaria Classic’s fifth phase lands on June 2, 2026, bringing Siege of Orgrimmar and the Timeless Isle. Blizzard confirmed the update in a forum post (Mists of Pandaria Classic: The Siege of Orgrimmar Update Arrives June 2). Blizzard Watch reports the raid itself opens globally on June 4 at 3:00 p.m. Pacific (6:00 p.m. Eastern), two days after the patch goes live.

    If you’re planning your week: patch arrives after regular maintenance on June 2, with the raid opening June 4; Timeless Isle content starts with the patch date. That’s the short version—details and quick UI prep tips below.

    What to expect in Phase 5

    Siege of Orgrimmar launches June 4 at 3:00 p.m. Pacific, per Blizzard Watch. Their post also notes this tier ties into Wrathion’s Legendary Cloak finale; if you’ve kept up, you can pick up the last stretch at the Tavern in the Mists when Phase 5 begins.

    Timeless Isle arrives with the patch on June 2. As outlined by Blizzard Watch, expect the Emperor Shaohao faction, Timeless Coins as a new currency, and multiple world bosses at the Celestial Court. Ordos remains gated behind completion of Wrathion’s Legendary Cloak, and Emperor Shaohao reputation comes from activity on the Isle (including Yaungol and world bosses). Coins can be spent at Isle vendors.

    Transmog and Proving Grounds are part of the 5.5.4 patch according to Blizzard’s PTR notes (5.5.4 PTR Development Notes). The notes state the new Transmog system is available on PTR and call out Proving Grounds scenarios as part of the update.

    Celestial Dungeons (Season 3) also appear in the PTR notes. Blizzard describes Kor’kron forces occupying MoP dungeons, new enemy buffs, and Celestial blessings for players—framing a seasonal remix of the dungeons for this patch cycle (PTR notes).

    Note: Dates and features here are drawn from Blizzard’s forum announcement and PTR notes, with raid timing reported by Blizzard Watch. PTR details can change before they hit live servers.

    UI prep tips for day one

    Update your core raid tools before Thursday. Keep your boss mod and any Siege-specific WeakAuras current once authors push Phase 5 builds. If you use a UI pack, check for a Phase 5 profile to avoid conflicts with new spell IDs and encounter events.

    For Timeless Isle, enable nameplate aura widgets and clear combat text so you can track short buffs, procs, and ground effects in the chaos. A simple coordinates display and a minimap button bar make rare hunting and vendor hopping less clumsy.

    If you’re finishing the Legendary Cloak, add a saved equipment set for your “questing/Isle” loadout and bind it to a convenient key. Keep your chat timestamps and loot alerts visible—Timeless Coins and reputation gains disappear fast in spammy combat logs.

    Planning to try Proving Grounds when they arrive? Use a lightweight unitframe layout with clear target-of-target and prominent interrupt/defensive cooldown icons. It helps you read the scenario pacing without UI clutter.

    Finally, sanity-check your keybinds and action bars after the patch. Major updates can nudge bar paging and hidden binds; a 60-second spot check in a target dummy area can save a pull in Siege.
