Greetings! We've got a fair few nips and tucks to discuss this week, including improvements to spell book swapping, and a much-requested change to transmogrification. But before we get onto that, news of a slight delay.
Firemaking Update Delayed
We want to bring you only the best updates, and unfortunately that sometimes means taking a little more time to get everything working properly. The Firemaking update that was due to be released this week has been delayed slightly, and will now be released alongside the PvM revitalisation next week.
Check out our month ahead for a reminder on what’s coming up in the Firemaking update.
Spellbook Swap
We’ve also made changes to spellbook swapping. New spells have been added to both the Ancient and Lunar spellbooks that facilitate direct swapping to a different spellbook. The new spells have new icons to differentiate them from the existing spellbook swap spell. You will still need the required amount of runes to swap spellbooks.
Transmogrification Unification
Try saying that five times quickly! You might have noticed something new about your emotes tab - that's right, there's a brand new tab for transmogrification items! For a long time now players have been asking us to streamline the transmogrification process. Although the transmogrification unification update went live last week, we neglected to mention it in the weekly post. Sorry!
For more info on what exactly transmogrification unification entails, take a look at the month ahead.
Patch Notes
Here are a few highlights and other improvements for this week:
You can take a closer look at the changes we’ve made this week and review the documentation for the latest update here.

In May, a selection of the most sought after Auras will go on sale in Solomon’s General Store. With savings of up to 30,000 loyalty points on offer, you'll be spoilt for choice.
The Aura sale will go live at 00:00 game time on May 1st 2019 and will run until 23:59 on May 31st. That’s a whole month of savings!
