Достижения

• A new feat of strength with an associated title, "the Camel-Hoarder", has been added for players that have bested Dormus and obtained the Reins of the Grey Riding Camel -- because there must always be a Camel-Hoarder.

PvP

• The achievements to win 100 rated Battlegrounds have been renamed to "Veteran of the Alliance" and "Veteran of the Horde", and now award those titles.
• Achievements to win 300 rated Battlegrounds have been added, awarding the "Warbound" and "Warbringer" titles to the Alliance and Horde respectively.
• Arathi Basin
• The achievement "We Had It All Along *cough*" now requires the player to win Arathi Basin by 50 points or less, up from 10 points or less.
• The Battle for Gilneas
• The achievement "Jugger Not" now requires the player to win The Battle for Gilneas by 100 points or less, up from 10 points or less.
• The achievement "Out of the Fog" requires the player to defend 2 bases in a single battle, down from 3.
• The achievement "One Two Three You Don''t Know About Me" requires the player to assault 2 bases in a single battle, down from 3.

• The achievement "Battle for Gilneas All-Star" now requires a single flag assault and flag defense in a battle, down from 2.

Рыцарь смерти

• Desecration no longer triggers when an applicable strike hits a snare-immune target. This is primarily to avoid unnecessary spell effect clutter during boss encounters.

Маг

• Frostbolt damage has been increased by 10%.
• Fingers of Frost bonus damage applied to Ice Lance has been increased to 25%, up from 15%.

Паладин

• Illuminated Healing shield duration is now 15 seconds, up from 8 seconds. In addition, Illuminated Healing has been increased to provide 1.5% effect per mastery, up from 1.25%.

Шаман

• Improved Fire Nova has been redesigned and replaced by a talent called Seasoned Winds. When an enemy spell cast is successfully prevented with Wind Shear, the shaman gains magical resistance (in an amount equal to what a protection totem/aura would grant, stacking with such buffs) to the spell school(s) of the interrupted spell (except for Holy spells), lasting 10 seconds.

Подземелья и рейды

• The Gordok Courtyard Key in Fengus''s Chest is now replenished after several seconds.

The Mechanar

• The Cache of the Legion now unlocks when Gatewatcher Gyro-kill is gyro-killed.

Stratholme

• Postboxes no longer require keys to open, because really, who locks their postboxes anymore when they''re all undead? It''s just people sending coupons for brains anyway.
• The Postmaster now spawns when 3 of any postbox are opened.

Uldaman

• The Staff of Prehistoria is no longer required to open the door in the Map Room.

• Maelstrom Crystals are now available for purchase with Honor or Justice Points from the associated commodities vendors.

PvP

• The Ring of Valor has returned! It should now be playable again in the Arena map rotation.

Квесты

Пользовательский интерфейс
