The great World of Warcraft patch 6.0.2 is currently on the public test realms and is being thoroughly tested there before players can enjoy it in a few weeks. In addition to the long-awaited transition event to the expansion “Warlords of Draenor”, it includes numerous improvements, especially regarding the players’ inventory. We have summarized the most significant changes for you here.
Toy Box – For all heroes who remain young at heart
Over the years and across four expansions, a lot of clutter has accumulated in the heroes’ inventories, especially many unique “toys” that are hard to part with. Whether it’s the “remote-controlled Zeppelin”, “Dartol’s rod” or the “orb of the Sin’dorei”, there are countless items that don’t serve any real purpose but have a cool effect, are filled with nostalgia, or are simply no longer obtainable in the game.
To ensure that you don’t have to part with all these beloved items, there is now a toy box in World of Warcraft, where all these items can be stored and can be used by any character on your account from now on – making the inventory much tidier!
reagent bank – Farewell, my bank alt
When Blizzard cleans up, they do it right: All crafting materials can be stored in a new bank slot, where you have a whopping 98 spaces free to store ores, plants, enchanting materials, and more.
To make sure that’s enough, most items can now be stacked up to a count of 200 – just “farm until the inventory is full” is now going to be a very lengthy affair. At the same time, there will no longer be a need to rummage through the bank for a long time when you want to craft something: As long as it’s in the reagent bank, it will be automatically consumed when you want to craft something with one of your professions.
Bag sorting made easy
What remains of your inventory can now be easily sorted. You can assign specific functions to individual bags, such that bag A only contains consumables like potions and flasks and bag B only contains equipment.
With a simple push of a button, you can have the bags automatically sorted. New items in your inventory will be specially marked so you can recognize them immediately – gray “vendor trash” now has a gold coin symbol so you can see at a glance what you can throw to the NPC.
Many minor improvements
But other aspects have also been simplified and made clearer in World of Warcraft ; for example, interface addons can now be toggled on and off while playing without the need to log out. The quest log and map are now connected and provide quicker and clearer information about where to go and what needs to be done.
The void bank has been expanded by 80 slots, and finally, the dungeon journal has already been filled with entries for Warlords of Draenor, so you can get a glimpse of the bosses you need to defeat if you wish.
