For anything that was revamped/changed during classic the wiki will typically have both a note of how things previously were and how they were changed.

The PoS zone/quest pages will continue to have both pre and post upgrade information. Items that are changed/nerfed,for example, usually have a note about the change and when in the timeline it (will) occur(ed).

I'm referencing the fact that half the stuff that was meant to get upgraded later on was already replaced by the upgrades upon release of Sky. At some point that would need to be fixed in the database if there was ever a re-release.

Just so I'm clear...these changes are in @ the next patch? Or in now?

I know people like to hear from the Devs about any questions. So I'll help kanras on this one.
Last patch was June 13th,2011

so can we turn it in and recieve an upgraded item yet.. or do we have to wait for the next patch ?

"Pending update" means that it goes in on the next patch afaik.

What's weird is that some of the upgraded sky items are already in game. I have seen a few of them. I completed the shaman bracelet/waist last night and received the old version, but Baubarian completed the hp hammer and got the updated version. I believe someone else got the better monk fists too maybe.

*edit*
Patch the server or fight me irl.

Woopi received 16/27 Wu's fist. Upgraded is 16/22.

Fixed on live.

Nothing to see here, move along. These aren't the droids you're looking for.

(Post in petition forum if you lost an item.)
