If you happen to be a resident player of World of Warcraft's Public test realms, listen up. The PTRs have recently updated patch 2.4, which now carries some new items and spell mechanics.

With regard to new items, a player managed to pick up a new drop called the Ring of Harmonic Beauty. Its stats indicate its effects are geared for mages or priests. It was looted from a trash mob at Sunwell Plateau - that's it on display on the screenshot to your right.

As for some of the new spells, here's what has been observed so far:

• Druid
• Nurturing Instinct has been changed:
• old: Increases your healing spells by up to 50% of your Strength, and increases healing done to you by 5%/10% of your Attack Power while in Cat form.
