Are you prepared? If not, head to:

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/9669861/Preparing_for_Patch_53_Escalation-5_17_2013

But, if you're not into reading too many words, here are bullet-point highlights:

Scheduled Live Date - Tuesday, May 21st

If you're leveling an alt, and are currently at 85 or higher, stop until Patch Day; experience levels from 85 to 90 are being reduced by 33% (that's huge!)

Hold off on purchasing/upgrading items until after the patch goes live, a couple reasons why:

Void Binders are returning (VP/JP Gear Upgrades)
- 250 Valor Points to upgrade per 4 Item Levels
- 750 Justice Points to upgrade for 8 Item Levels
- 750 Conquest Points per 4 Item Levels (Season 12 Gear)
- 1500 Honor Points for 8 Item Levels (Season 12 Gear)
- 60% Reduction in cost to upgrade Heirlooms

iLevel Requirements
- 435 is required for Heroic dungeons
- 460 is required for the Raid Finder Mogu’shan Vaults
- 470 is required for Raid Finder Heart of Fear and Terrace of Endless Spring
- 480 is required for the Raid Finder Throne of Thunder
- 480 is required for Heroic Scenarios, a pre-made party required

Reducing the number of Lesser Charms of Good Fortune required to purchase three Mogu Runes of Fate from 90 to 50

PvP Change:

All characters Base Resilience of 65%
Battle Fatigue effects increased from 30% to 45%
Healing Bonus from PvP Power is now dynamic:
- Healing Specs 100%
- Healing Classes in DPS Spec 70%
- All others 40%

What is 14 + 2?
