World of Warcraft Patch 11.1 Adds New Way to Customize Characters, But There\'s a Catch

Summary

• Noggenfogger Select elixirs in WoW allow for temporary height adjustments, stackable up to 10 times.
• These potions offer subtle changes to character height, enhancing customization options.
• Patch 11.1, Undermined, introduces new story developments for The War Within and updated class visuals.

World of Warcraft is introducing a pair of innovative consumable potions that allow players to adjust their character's height temporarily. Known as Noggenfogger Select elixirs, these items provide a cost-effective and straightforward method for players to customize their characters, even if they don't offer the permanence of a height slider.

Patch 11.1, titled Undermined, is currently accessible on the Public Test Realm, offering World of Warcraft enthusiasts a sneak peek at upcoming content. This update promises exciting plot twists for The War Within's narrative and enhanced visuals for various WoW classes, ensuring a rich experience for players.

Among the new features in Patch 11.1 are the Noggenfogger Select UP and Noggenfogger Select DOWN potions. These elixirs enable players to make their characters slightly taller or shorter, with effects that can stack up to 10 times. Each potion lasts for 30 minutes and remains effective even after character death, making them ideal for roleplaying, dungeons, raids, or capturing memorable screenshots. Players can purchase these potions from Alchemist Pestlezugg in the Vatworks, the primary Steamwheedle reputation hub in the new Undermine zone, for just over three gold each. These potions are unbound and not level-restricted, facilitating easy trading among characters of any level.

World of Warcraft Height-Adjustment Items in Patch 11.1

While other items in WoW can drastically alter a character's size, the Noggenfogger Select potions provide more subtle modifications. Even at the maximum of 10 stacks, the height difference is only a few inches, as demonstrated in screenshots from Wowhead. This makes them perfect for players seeking nuanced changes compared to the more dramatic effects of items like the Elixir of Giant Growth or the original Noggenfogger Elixir.

Additionally, Alchemist Pestlezugg offers Noggenfogger Select FRESH, a potion exclusive to Goblins that enables them to perform a stylish, NPC-only lean emote. Although other races have similar emotes in the game files, only Goblins can access this feature through the new consumable.

The World of Warcraft community is buzzing with excitement over these new tonics, though many players hope for a more permanent solution to character height variation. A height slider seems unlikely without a major character customization overhaul. In the meantime, players can use items like the Seabed Leviathan’s Citrine in Cyrce’s Circlets, play as Colossus Warriors, or rely on Noggenfogger Select and similar consumables to manage their character's height.
