MMO-Champion has been bringing the thunder this morning with tons of news that has been cascading out of the public test realm. With a build of patch 3.1 live on the PTR, players have been given the first full look at an almost overwhelming number of changes and additions to the World of Warcraft. Big, drool-worthy news for Paladins, Priests, Druids, and Shaman is that a legendary One Handed Mace looks like it will be making its way to those classes' hands eventually. The classes mentioned will have the ability to collect 40 Fragments of Val'anyr and combine them, creating Shattered Fragments of Val'anyr, which begins a quest, eventually rewarding Val'anyr, Gavel of the Ancient Kings. Here's to hoping there's a version which certain enhancement shaman might be able to use.
Players have also discovered that inscribed versions of the Kirin Tor rings (the ones that cost 8000g and teleport you to Dalaran) are available for an additional 1000g. These rings will be item level 213 and require the original ring to purchase.
Finally, MMO-Champion revealed that new mounts and pets are being added into WoW, including Mimiron's Head, which summons and dismisses a rideable mechanical gnome head! This thing reminds me of Bowser's clown faced aircraft from Super Mario World. A full list of the pets and mounts can be found below.

AWESOME!!! I've been wanting an Aquatic mount forever!!! I need to find out how to get one!!! :D
Since it takes 40 of the fragments to get the quest item for the hammer does anyone know where they drop/what the drop rate is/is it an item that is rolled on like other loot?
These mounts better be available to all classes. I don't care if they cost a ton of money and require a kamikazi run into an enemy city. I just want some cross faction mounts.
YAY Aquatic Mount i was more hoping they would make a flying mount that carrys more then 1 guy...=(
wolvar pup pet :D my prayers have been answered
Aquatic mount, wtf? :S, is it just me or is that really Really uneccessary...i mean there's not really all that much water, and wtf would you want to do In the water to begin with? :S
That being said im very excited about the "Great Mulgore Kodo" for my UD dk, i just wonder how it will look and what it will do :S
:O i was excited about uldar anwyay but now theres a legendary mace... it better be a healing one! :D
also aquatic mount sounds pretty cool XD
and "Murkimus the Gladiator - Right Click to summon and dismiss Murkimus the Gladiator" no idea wat thts gonna be but a pet gladiator can't be a bad thing me want! :D
"Is there a mistake or something?"
They've probably made it unique(30), but require 40 pieces so that no one on the PTR can make it yet. They probably want to save the world first for the normal servers.
I can't wait for there to be an aquatic mount. Means that my alts that can't do some form of water-walking will be able to ride a mount on water in Kalimdor or Eastern Kingdoms.
Hmmm, I'm VERY interested in the new mounts, an aquatic one is nice, but does anyone else think that the gnomes head looks a little like a submarine too?
And I can't WAIT for the new City-fac mounts, I hope they go back to the natural armoured look, I hate the glowing eyes they have on these things!
Geez, I swear patch 3.1 is going to be the most game-changing thing yet...
All that changes sound great but got a question. To start the q for legendary mace u need 40 shards but the shard says 30(Unique) that means u can have only 30 in inv :S hope its a bug
