Blizzard's Patch 6.2 Shipyard Preview
Flying is on everyone's minds, but Blizzard has also released a preview of the Shipyard coming in Patch 6.2.
You will need the shipyard to unlock Tanaan Jungle.
Ships are similar to followers in that you can send them out on missions (
Naval Missions
for Ships), but they can be destroyed on failed missions and are much easier to level back up (no ilvls or levels required).
You can customize your Ships, and even rename them! Cool abilities include
Trained Shark Tank
and
Unsinkable
.
There are five types of ships--Destroyer, Submarine, Carrier, Battleship, and Transport. These all counter a specific threat. Ships also come with
Crews
and two
Equipment Slots
.
You'll want to complete Naval Missions because some legendary missions require the Shipyard, there are new heirloom rings from Naval Missions, and Hellfire Citadel cache missions.
6.2 PTR: Build 20111 Spell Changes and More
Build 20111 is marked as a release version! Earlier today, Blizzard published the

Ship Bonus
missions have gotten additional details, telling a story now instead of reiterating placeholder text.
Legendary naval missions have gotten some changes--the existing missions had their rewards removed, but several new missions were added.
Draenic Sea Chart
is a new legendary naval mission item from
Boarding the Master's Call

Several Tier 18 set bonuses have received updates.
