Patch 6.2 adds Naval missions to your garrison. You can't have Naval missions without ships, so there is also a new Shipyard being added to your garrison. The Shipyard is not a building and doesn't take up any existing slots or space in the garrison.
Both the Alliance and Horde shipyards are placed near your initial arrival point to the zone. The Alliance can get to the shipyard by taking the new exit that was added to their garrison. The Horde can take the existing back exit down to where the crashed ship was to get to their shipyard.
The Shipyard is unlocked by completing a short quest chain at the Iron Docks, accessible to anyone with a Level 3 Garrison. Vol'jin/Varian send you to the Iron Docks to recruit a Shipwright. You collect supplies and break Roark out of a prison train. After Roark is free, you reclaim his blueprints and return to your garrison to construct a shipyard. Currently it costs 5,000 garrison resource, but that is a placeholder value.
After unlocking your shipyard, you meet Solog at the dry docks and build a Transport ship. Currently the ship costs 1,000 resources to build, but this may be another placeholder value. Once you have a ship, the Assault on Tanaan Jungle can begin!

You may remember Timewalker dungeons from when they first appeared in Patch 5.4. They are finally here as a weekend event that reward scaled up versions of old items!
As we get started testing Patch 6.2 on our public test realms, we're looking forward to discussing all of the new features and content coming to World of Warcraft. First up, we're excited to present Timewalking.
In Patch 6.2, we're introducing seven different weekend events that will run from noon Friday through noon Monday every week. Two of those events will be Timewalking weekends, in which you'll be able to queue up for a randomly selected old-school dungeon with a new sort of "heroic" difficulty: When you Timewalk these dungeons, you'll find that your character's power and gear has been scaled down to a fraction of what they normally are. For the first time in years, some dungeons you outgrew long ago will once more put your skills to the test.
A good challenge deserves a good reward, so to go along with scaling you down, we're going through most every piece of loot in each Timewalker dungeon and scaling it up. That's right, when you Timewalk through Utgarde Pinnacle, take down King Ymiron, and loot his Red Sword of Courage, it will scale up to an item level appropriate for use at your level.
Timewalking will be available to characters who are level 71 and higher for Burning Crusade content, and level 81 and up for Wrath of the Lich King dungeons. It will open up only during certain three-day-long weekend holidays. While Timewalking, your power will be adjusted down to the level of the Heroic dungeon, but you'll retain all of your skills and talents. We will also be testing additional rewards, such as a level 100 quest that rewards one Seal of Tempered Fate per weekend, so keep an eye on the in-game calendar.
