Blizzard has revised its Patch 12.1.5 notes for World of Warcraft in the days before the update goes live, and Wowhead's coverage of the changes spans reduced crafting costs for housing decor, a healing buff for Preservation Evokers and a bug fix in the Murder Row dungeon. The patch launches on October 13 in North America and October 14 in Europe, according to Wowhead.
In a community post highlighted by Wowhead, Blizzard said all crafted decor from professions that predate the Midnight expansion will have its crafting cost reduced in 12.1.5. The studio said it made the same change for Midnight profession recipes in Patch 12.1 and is now extending it to every other expansion's professions. Lumber costs are coming down alongside general reagent costs, and Blizzard described some of the reductions as dramatic and others as significant. The post said the decision followed a review of decor collection data and player feedback, and that the aim is for players who have older professions leveled to see a benefit from them.
Preservation Evoker and Murder Row
The updated official notes add a 20% increase to the healing of Consume Flame for Flameshaper Preservation Evokers, Wowhead reported. Blizzard's developer note tied the change to a recent bug fix.
We recently fixed Consume Flame to not double dip with healing increases, which resulted in a fairly significant decrease to Flameshaper's throughput. We're offsetting the bug fix by increasing Consume Flame's healing.
In Murder Row, Blizzard fixed an issue where Zaen Bladesorrow's Murder in a Row ability could assign a player's safe spot to a barrel the player was not hiding behind. The housing system also gains a blueprint change: stairwells now export every stairwell room vertically connected to them, and importing such a blueprint connects it to an existing room from either the bottom or top floor, provided it does not collide with other rooms.
Labyrinth rewards and curio ranks
Separate Wowhead reports cover rewards tied to the Labyrinth of Kindo'jan, which also arrives with 12.1.5 on October 13. After players unlock Labyrinths and complete the introduction quest, an NPC named Wah'du offers a quest to finish a chamber objective on Tier 8 or higher, rewarding one Mythical Soul Fragment and 2,000 Undercoin. Three fragments combine into a Myth-track piece of gear at the 1/6 upgrade level, with the player choosing the slot. On the test realm Wah'du offered a second, similar quest for another zone, and Wowhead expects the quests to be weekly gated on live servers.
Delve curios are also changing. Wowhead reported that every curio gains a fifth rank, obtainable from the Labyrinth of Kindo'jan, and that two new curios are being added, one Combat and one Utility.
