Patch 4.3 PTR: High Society Top Hat pattern found ... again

The industrious busy bees over at Wowhead News have pulled a rabbit out of a hat with the latest PTR build -- or rather, a hat pattern out of a mess of data. Tailors who have been eagerly waiting to craft the High Society Top Hat worn by Worgen players throughout the expansion will be pleased to learn that the pattern has finally made its way to the 4.3 PTR. Though the pattern has been viewable on Wowhead for quite some time, it never made an appearance in game, frustrating crafters and snappy dressers alike since Cataclysm's launch.

While the old pattern required a variety of different low-level materials to craft, the new one has been adjusted for materials that are more relevant to the expansion. No more wool cloth; you're going to need four Dreamcloth to construct this puppy. Oh, and those Polished Bronze Rivets that used to be a part of the recipe? They're no longer required, either. Thank you, Blizzard. Me and my pickpocketing rogue with the aching fingers will be crying in a corner over our useless stash of rivets.

No word yet on where the pattern comes from, but we'll keep you updated if we hear more.


Brace yourselves for what could be some of most exciting updates to the game recently with patch 4.3. Review the official patch notes, and then dig into what's ahead: new item storage options, cross-realm raiding, cosmetic armor skinning and your chance to battle the mighty Deathwing -- from astride his back!
