The first beta build! We’re still missing quite a bit of information, but I’m cataloging it all the same. All data and pictures are from Wowhead
Artifact Skins
Note that each model seems to be available in a color scheme that matches one of the four August Celestials: orange for Niuzao the ox, red for Chi-Ji the crane, green for Yu’lon the serpent, and blue for Xuen the tiger.
Skills
Numbers are more than useless right now, so focus on the overall effects and nothing more. Also, the devs have stressed many times that what we’re seeing is incomplete. Some spells might be gone that aren’t listed as such, some old ones might return, some new ones might be revealed. This is just what we know right now in this infinitesimally insignificant point in time.

Legendaries
Many of these legendary bonuses don’t make much sense. Some are classified as leather even though they benefit non-leather-wearers, some are classified as consumable. Take with an extra large grain of salt. Beyond lies funkiness.
Immediately relevant to brewmaster monks:
- Grovewalkers: leather boots, “Equip: While you remain stationary, deep roots seep into the ground every 3 sec. granting you 50000 healing every 3 sec. stacking up to 10 times.”
- Bramble Helm of Shala’drassil: leather helm, “Equip: An additional 0% of healing recieved from other allies is applied over 8 seconds.”
- Verjas, Protectors of the Berserker Kings: leather bracers, “Equip: The duration of Stagger is increased by 40%.”
- Thornbraces: consumable? bracers, “Equip: When you Dodge, Parry, or Block an incoming attack your next autoattack deals 150% increased damage.”

- Aman’Thul’s Stride: consumable? boots, “Equip: When a non-Tank ally within 40 yards of you takes direct melee damage, you gain 100% movement speed for 4 sec.”
