What happens after spellname-consolidation?

[Tauron]

<p>Hi</p><p>I thought I read somewhere that when they change our spellnames they would take the highest version of the spell in our knowledgebook and use that.</p><p>1) Does that mean that if I have my airpet from lvl 50ish (can't remember when we get it) as Master I but my current tier 9 airpet as Adept III it will become Master I after the consolidation? Or will it become the version of my highest tier spell?</p><p>2) When are the new names coming?</p><p>Have a nice weekend</p>

<p>Thank you very much for the clarification, you just saved me a lot of gold <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>So as far as I can understand I should only get a cheap Master I of our shardspell? <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>I have the M1 of the raid-wide shard spell and adept3 of the single target shard spell.  Will my single target get upgraded to M1 after the update?</p>

[Xalmat]

<p>Most likely, no.</p>

<p>Are they still consolidating the pet names as well?  That's the only part I didn't like about this entire process--having unique pet names each tier kind of made them more personable and unique :</p>

<p>No, you're misunderstanding completely. The most likely outcome will be:</p><p>* If you have any of your single target Shard spells at Master, the new one will be Master as well.</p><p>* Your Raidwide Shard spell will not change rank regardless of what your Single Shard spell is. Likewise, your Raidwide shard will not affect your Single Shard spell.</p><p>Pet names (and all other spells) are getting their names consolidated.</p>
