I checked on at least all of my maxed out WoD garrison characters on BfA Beta before confirming, but it seems that you no longer can place work orders for your professions. Barn work orders don't work either. Mine and Herb Garden no longer work. War Mill no longer works. Trader no longer works (although you can still trade order resources for mats). I don't have the others so I can't check up on those.

Spirit Lodge DOES for some reason still work. Bonus missions for order resources STILL work. You can still craft the daily ones but work orders are no longer available.

Thanks, Blizzard.

Tartare d'oursRata des combattants/u/Thegr8whited reports:

On live, currently gives 70% movement speed after killing an enemy for 5 seconds.

On beta, gives 250 speed at level 110. This is the equivalent to 18.50% movement speed, and will drop down as you level up.

There is currently no item or food in BFA to replace it.

Edit: For those asking, I have also checked out fighter chow. Fighter chow at level 120 now gives 1,944 HP every 5 seconds when out of combat. As a 303 disc priest (roughly equivalent to 810 legion ilvl), i have 87k HP. This is equivalent to 2.2% of my hp every 5 seconds, out of combat. This will most likely not scale with your HP or gear.

As of July 11, 2018, we will no longer be supporting the World of Warcraft Mobile Armory app. But this isn’t the end of the road, as we’re continuing to develop and improve our mobile offering for World of Warcraft.

As a part of our commitment to providing WoW players with a living, connected experience on multiple fronts, we are transitioning away from the current World of Warcraft Mobile Armory app and will be converting the Legion Companion App into a new WoW Companion App in the future. As part of that, we’ll be incorporating many of your favorite World of Warcraft Armory app features along with features for Battle for Azeroth into a new shared app for a more streamlined experience. Stay tuned for more information.

When do you think the pre-patch will go live? Will you be keeping farming characters at lower levels with these changes? Will you be ready for the Scrapper shuffling?Blizzard have made a spectacular announcement for this weekend

I’m writing my @wowhead wrap-up for the @Warcraft Economy this week, what is your advice to players returning to the game during the free activation weekend? What does a TBC or Cataclysm player need to know about #goldmaking in today’s game?

Lots of the old ways still work, and to take it easy and not rush. When they're ready to rush, get TSM groups up and going, and then take stock of current professions before looking at new things. Don't get drawn into flipping things until you understand how to sell them, otherwise you'll get a bag full of crap. Raid stuff still sells. Look at fishing, cooking, alchemy, gems and enchants. For new things, it's more YouTube than blogs now and to check out Twitch because it's great to have live interaction. And to be prepared for the best community in WoW!

I'd say expect nothing. The markets they were invested in at the time could have died out entirely, while others could be extremely profitable to this day, even more so than when they last played. Re-research old as well as new markets.
Values are inflated. So while your average item might be far more expensive, they shouldn't be shocked as the average gold earned from pretty much everything is higher, and thus the average player will have more gold to start off with.

Postsemreh agrees that some research is important

Well.. I'm torn to say it.. but..

Remind them NOT TO SELL all the old stuff in their banks without checking market conditions. Prices have changed dramatically since then.. and what may seem like a good price to them, won't be in current inflation terms..

Last week it was asked if there were any good addons to help with handling caged pets, to which the reply was that there were not. I took it upon myself to create one that I hope that my fellow goblins will find useful.

BattlePetCageMatch is now available.

FEATURES:

Pet Journal upgrades:

Flags the Pet Journal for any pets that it detects currently caged in your inventory.
Flags the Pet Journal for any pets that it has detected in other character's inventory.
Integration with TSM to show pet prices directly in the Pet Journal, with the ability to filter based on a specific price

Automatic Pet Caging:

You can automatically cage trade-able pets that match a set of user specified options.
The ability to manually create a white list of pets to use instead of or in addition to using filters. This list accepts the use of wildcards.
The ability to manually create a black list of pets never to cage. This list accepts wildcards.
Can be triggered from the new cage icon in the Pet Journal, from keybind or broker addon.

Learn Pet Key bind:

While the ability to automatically learn caged pets in the inventory is not currently possible, there is a user settable keybind that will initially scan the inventory and log any caged pets. Each time the keybind is then pressed, it will cycle though the list and learn the pets. It if encounters a pet that can not be learned, that pet will be cycled over so that the rest of the pets in the list can be learned.

Profiles:

You can create multiple profiles in case you want different cage filters or to have character specific settings.

If there are any tweaks or additional features that should be added, please let me know and I'll see what can be done.
