The 12.1.7 Public Test Realm (PTR) has been updated and is now available for testing as the Talebound demo launches today.

Deep dive into the Quillgrave power systems from the latest PTR overview. Progress saves. Temporary run power resets. Four specialists unlock permanent and run-based strength. Potions, scrolls, armor upgrades, talent points, and curiosities — all tied to specific currencies

Exclusive insight from the latest Short — Talebound was supposed to hit the PTR this week. Here’s why it didn’t, and why the next build is almost certainly the one.

Coming in Patch 12.1.7 (Echoes of the Worldcore), Talebound is a standalone, roguelike-inspired PvE action-RPG mode inside World of Warcraft. You step out of your regular character’s class and gear to create a ready-to-play champion belonging to one of three custom archetypes: Slayer, Inquisitor, or Witch.

Seventeen mounts are in the Patch 12.1.7 files. Tap a name and the page drops you on that mount. Each one has a Wowhead search for the day the ID goes live. Subject to change before then.

A hidden Flooded Chamber sits between the northeastern and southeastern chambers in the Labyrinth of Kindo’jan. Jump into the water between the two waterfalls under Nalorakk’s Rest, swim into the cave, and break the ice wall to reach five sturdy chests. Open them on a high tier — they are account-wide, once only, and one of the best crest piles in the labyrinth.

Patch 12.1.5 adds choose-slot Myth armor from the Labyrinth, a Hero fragment path, a weekly Champion cache from the Aqir Invasion, and Ascendant Venomstones for the weapon, trinket, or neck you are keeping.

Patch 12.1.5 adds a fifth rank to every delve curio, and the Labyrinth end chest is where those ranks drop. Two new ones land with it.

Wah'du in the Chamber of Rites pays a Mythical Soul Fragment and 2,000 Undercoin for each purged wing. Three fragments craft a Venerated Loa Armament: a Myth 1/6 armor piece in the slot you choose. The short is the part people miss. He keeps handing out the next chamber, and two pieces is the number to plan around.

One zone a week, an hourly swarm. The full Aqir Invasion guide from the 12.1.5 PTR: the weekly satchel, Matildeux catch-up, Enclave ranks, and the Corrupted Swarmer.

Nine chambers, four loas, one nemesis. The full Labyrinth of Kindo'jan guide from the 12.1.5 PTR: checkpoint loot, reputation ranks, the sturdy chests you should not open early, and how to unlock Kindo'jan.
