PvP Season 14 Ending Soon
Blizzard just published a blog on the upcoming end of PvP Season 14--which could end in as little as two weeks. Past end-of-season announcements have been tied to
new major patches
, so it's reasonable to speculate that Season 14's end will be close to Patch 5.4.7's launch.
Season 15 will begin approximately a week after the end of Season 14.
As for Season 15 Prideful PvP gear, it's ilvl 550 and shares models with Season 14 PvP gear. However, the colors are swapped between factions so there's no faction-exclusive colors anymore.
For example, if you want to get the
iconic blue priest set with white Tyrael wings
, you can either spend
in Season 15 as Alliance for ilvl 522 Grievous Gear, or
in Season 15 as Horde for ilvl 550 Prideful Gear.
If you want the
black/red version instead
, in Season 15 it will cost
for the Horde's ilvl 522 pieces and
for the Alliance's ilvl 550 pieces.

Patch 5.4 Transmog Guide and New Transmog Set Filters

Wowhead's Patch 5.4 Guide and Official Patch Notes
Patch 5.4 goes live on September 10th and we've got you covered so you can kill Garrosh in the
Siege of Orgrimmar
and get some epics in style! The Alliance and Horde have had enough of Garrosh's poor leadership and are storming the gates of Orgrimmar.
Besides a new 14-boss raid with a new mode of difficulty, Flex Mode, players can explore the
Timeless Isle
for vanity items and BoA epics. Plus, there's a new PvP season and players can finally finish their legendary questline to get a powerful cape!
We've got summaries of all the new content below, as well as links to blue posts and Wowhead's comprehensive PTR coverage.
Patch Notes and Overview
Players can finally kill Garrosh in the new raid,
Siege of Orgrimmar

There are 14 bosses and LFR loot is ilvl 528, Flex 540, Normal 553, and Heroic 566.
Flex mode
is a new raid type, in which players form a raid with 10-25 players and the bosses' health and damage will scale up or down. The difficulty is easier than Normal, but as it's intended to reward players for social interactions ins

Transmogrification Guide: All Cape Styles
Capes are the bane of transmogrification. There's so many options, they're never designed to match specific tier, and some of them cut into your cool weapons. Although there's a "show/hide cloak" option, hiding it is the easy way out.
With this guide, you can find the perfect cape to match the removed ones from Trial of the Grand Crusader, a crafted cape that's identical to a raid epic you've never seen, a completely unique model from a quest reward, or even a blue-quality version of your favorite tattered grey cape.
This guide is an update of our popular cape guide from Cataclysm--we've improved on it by not only organizing capes by style and length, but also by color! (Click on the toggle to view all capes of a certain color and their sources.)
If you have your
legendary cape already

Talk Azeroth with Olivia - Episode 7: Cosmetic Hats and Proving Grounds
This week on Talk Azeroth, it's the
appearance of some new hats
on the
battle.net store
that's caught Olivia's attention! These three new hats are for transmogrification purposes only, and have no stats at all. Olivia shelled out £10 of her hard earned cash to check out various aspects of these hats, and has some pretty strong opinions about the price point that Blizzard has set!
Onto happier news, and Olivia dives into the
Proving Grounds

5.4 PTR: Season 14 3D Weapon Models, Vale of Eternal Blossoms and Orgrimmar Zone Changes
After
datamining the 5.4 files
and reading
Blizzard's 5.4 PTR Patch Notes
yesterday, the 5.4 PTR is now playable!
One huge change we noticed when logging on the PTR was that Vale of Eternal Blossoms is radically different. It's been infested by the Sha, with most of the zone drastically changed. The capital cities are still functional, but the Golden Lotus hubs appear to be phased out. All of the water is drained and in its place are sha-touched wildlife (that award Golden Lotus rep when killed) and corpses of Golden Lotus NPCs. In addition, there is a new raid portal at the bottom of a lake, with a summoning stone nearby for "Vale Raid."
Since the time of this post, we've updated our
Golden Lotus Reputation Guide
which documents all of the changes happening in 5.4 and how to get Exalted quickly before the patch!

Patch 5.3: Battlefield Barrens Guide and Noxy Comic
Patch 5.3 introduces a new world event,
Battlefield Barrens
, that explores the conflict between the Alliance, Horde, and Garrosh. There's a ton of stuff to do and collect as part of this event--but it's only around for a limited amount of time. It will be removed when Patch 5.4 hits.
Site artist
Noxychu
also made a comic about this event, capturing the spirit of helping the Darkspear in unexpected ways!
To unlock this world event, which takes place in Durotar and Northern Barrens, you'll need to do several new scenarios and a quest chain, Escalation. showing the underlying politics behind your faction.
Once the world event is unlocked, you can collect Kor'kron supplies through various ways to purchase vanity items and armor like
Xan'tish's Flute
.
Garrosh's influence can be seen in the Valley of Spirits being shut down, a Horde digsite in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, and Kor'kron camps in the Northern Barrens.

Patch 5.3: PvP Changes, Additions, Cosmetic Rewards
PvP is getting some radical changes and welcome additions in Patch 5.3! Most importantly, resilience is gone from gear, Season 13 gear won't be eligible for item upgrades, and all gear is being scaled down to ilvl 496 in arenas and battlegrounds. These changes are designed to make PvP a more welcoming experience for new players, instead of being something dreaded for
School of Hard Knocks
or
Chapter II: Wrathion's War
where undergeared players repeatedly meet a quick death.
There's also a greater emphasis on cosmetic PvP rewards in 5.3--enchants and special gear for high-ranked players. And since high-level Elite gear is getting a nerf, Elite gear now fills a transmog niche instead of serving as overpowered PvP gear.
Finally, there's a new arena and battleground, for which you'll get the fabulous
Gorgeous
title if you complete the meta.
