The latest PTS patch 1.1.1 notes are up. This patch includes a couple of changes which are worth mentioning.
First of all, the way Hireling mails work has been completely changed. You will no longer receive a chest in the mail, but the mail instead contains a random set of items relevant to the character’s crafting level. This means you can no longer use your alts to feed high tier mats to your main. If you want high tier materials on your alts, you need to level their crafting professions up.
Dark Anchors will also yield a reward chest for all participants. Up until this point you needed to deal enough damage to the dark anchor boss mob in order to get loot.
You can find all the other changes below.
