There are so many new changes please read up on your class notes as well as the general sections. Here are a few highlights:
1. NEW!! Inscription A brand new profession to make tons of gold off of. But be warned, expect Auction House prices for basic items to jump!
2. Achievement Points The new achievement point system is a new and exciting way of collecting new items including an Albino Drake, new titles and new rewards. Most achievement will be retro-active, meaning that a lot of what you've already done will be credited.
3. Arena Points Are GONE!! Expect arena points to be cleared and wiped, not sure if PvP points will be counted in this as well.
4. Mounts/Pets/Badges/PvP Tokens No longer take up bag or bank slots!!! Your mounts will become learnable like a new spell. You'll need to right click on the mount icon and it will be added to your Character inventory tab (Hot key "C") this is also the case for pets, both combat and vanity. Your PvP tokens, badges will go into a new tab called currency.
5. Shave and a Haircut!! You can now alter your toon's appearance at one of the new barber shops located in all major cities(except Shatt and DN)!! Don't like your hair style? Or don't even have any hair at all???? LOL Change it! The barber shop in Stormwind is located on the walkway behind the Auction House towards the center exit, just to the right.
6. Stormwind Harbor Get ready for a new and amazing new area of Stormwind!! The harbor is where you can catch a boat to Northrend, Kalimador or Darnassus. It's huge and very beautiful!
Tons more is on its way, all preparing you for Wrath Of The Lich King launch November 13th, 2008!!
Please note: Death Knights and access to Northrend is not accessible unless you install and own the new expansion. But there will be lots to keep you busy until then!!
I hope you are all as excited as I am, spending time on the Public Test Realms was an amazing experience and now I'm so excited to be able to do all the things with all of you on the live servers!
If anyone has any questions on what's new, or how something works, I do have some experience and will help out best I can. As for talent specs, I can only offer advice to my fellow mages! (sorry guys)
See you after the patch!!
