New

Mounts

  • Track down Beast Tracks with the new daily Mount Search quest to tame one for your class.
  • Riding cuts quest energy costs by 10%.

Chromas

Berserker Orc with the Shadow Chroma
  • Recolor your orc in Crimson, Frost, Gilded, Shadow or Royal.

Weapon Auras

  • Note: Weapon Auras can only be unlocked by level 6 orcs. Once unlocked, an aura is available to all classes at all levels.
  • Level-6 orcs earn Wildcore Shards from the new Shard Hunt quest.

Hall of Heroes

Perfect runs

Improved

  • Rare gear from Pillage, Plunder and Ransack gets 3% more likely with every miss, until it drops.
  • Broken rare gear goes to your inventory so you can repair it. It is no longer destroyed.
  • Class selection is easier to read: each class shows a short tagline, with a details screen before you commit.
  • Status is easier to read: cosmetics have their own Style screen, consumables have their own screen, and text is larger.
  • Pet Treats now cook in batches of 3.
  • The app opens faster on the watch. Health data now syncs in the background.

Monk
