‘World Of Warcraft’ Extends The ‘Gaze Of The Black Prince’ Buff Until The ‘Warlords Of Draenor' Pre-Patch 6.0.2 Release After Updating The 6.0.2 Public Test Realm Patch Notes [WATCH VIDEO]
Blizzard Entertainment's "World of Warcraft," or "WoW" has extended the "Gaze of the Black Prince" buff. It was supposed to end on Tuesday, Sept 16, 2014 at 9 a.m. PDT, but now it will end on the 'Warlords of Draenor' pre-patch 6.0.2 release. This announcement was made a few days after the company updated the 6.0.2 Public Test Realm or PTR patch notes on Friday, Sept. 12, 2014. Read on to learn more about it.
According to Battle.net, the "Gaze of the Black Prince" buff will stay active on the game until the 'Warlords of Draenor' pre-patch 6.0.2 release. This will allow "WoW" players to have one last chance to get the Legendary Cloak.
Battle.net also reports that there are a few changes in the Legendary Cloak quest line. But, this quest will be closed for good once the "Warlords of Draenor" is officially launched on Nov. 13, 2014. After that, the items that are part of this quest including the Sigil of Wisdom, Secrets of the Empire, Titan Runestones and Sigil of Power as well as the Legendary Cloak itself, can no longer be attainable.
Legendary Cloak Quest Line Changes:
1. "WoW" Players who have not started this quest line yet will no longer be able to begin it upon the release of the "Warlords of Draenor" pre-expansion patch (6.0.2).
2. The Test of Valor step will now be removed.

However, "WoW" players need not fret over this matter because there will be another chance to earn a brand new Legendary item called the Khadgar's Band of the Archmage in the "Warlords of Draenor" expansion.
