'World of Warcraft: Legion' latest news & patch 7.1 update: New missions and quests, more gear rewards

Blizzard has just released a massive update to the "World of Warcraft: Legion" and it comes with a handful of perks that will surely cater to the needs of new and long-time players alike.

Patch 7.1 went live two months after the "Legion" expansion's release in late August and provides new exciting content along with significant status buffs that should balance out general class performance. The patch aptly titled "Return to Karazhan" also comes with additional new missions and cooperative quests that takes teams of players through epic raids such as The Trial of Valor and a chance to return to the mythic dungeon of Karazhan for an epic five-player, eight-boss challenge.

Blizzard has posted a full list of patch notes on their "World of Warcraft" blog that should provide relevant information to allow players of the popular online role-playing game to better adapt to the changes.

It should be noted that The Trial of Valor serves as a connecting story between the Emerald Nightmare and the upcoming Nighthold narrative. Normal and Heroic difficulties for this particular raid will unlock on Nov. 8, while the Mythic and Raid Finder difficulties will follow one week later on Nov. 15.

"Return to Karazhan" also continues the heroic challenges in Suramar with a brand new series of weekly quests that will unlock over a span of nine weeks, leading up to the entrance of the Nighthold. Taking on the series of quests all the way to the final one titled "Fate of the Nightborne" and getting exalted with The Nightfallen should help the player obtain Arcanist's Manasaber mount. To get started on this particular challenge, look for the quest marked "Lockdown."

New adventures in the Broken Isles also bring the Falcosaurs to the game. This new breed of dinosaurs can be obtained as battle pets and mounts and can also provide reagents for First Aid and Cooking recipes via the Falcosaur eggs and the Falcosaur feathers. Perks N Peeves has posted a detailed guide on how to catch a Falcosaur and raise it as a pet.

PvP updates are also available in the newest "World of Warcraft: Legion" patch with a significant increase in Artifact Power as well as more chances of obtaining gears from battleground victories and weekly quests.
