Minor information about changes and additions

Hey, I want to give you some more cool minor information about changes and additions that are not yet listed on the website. I'll be posting more soon!

General,

• New XP sources: you will earn experience from battlegrounds and their objectives; from gathering Mining and Herbalism nodes; from new type of Treasure Chests that will be spawned in cool places. XP will be greatly increased from killing rare NPCs.,

• New race/class combos include Gnome Priest and Blood Elf Warrior.,

• All item textures have been upscaled and look sharp and good as never before.,

• @cursor and @self macro API will be implemented.,

• Foreign text can now be copypasted. Hello, Naxx copypastas.,

• Black Market Auction House is a new type of Auction House where you can bid on items. The items are chosen randomly, the pool consists of cosmetic items (including new items), mounts and pets (including new mounts and pets), current tier Normal items like in Mists of Pandaria (no Heroic items). Bidding always starts at 1 Gold and auctions last 24 hours. The BMAH won't be available at launch.,

• Path of War will not be available.,

• We have added some cool events, called Accords. For example, Accord of Battle will increase Honor gains in battlegrounds by 50%, Accord of Wisdom will increase your XP gains by 50%, Accord of Heroism will give you a chance to gain extra Emblem of Heroism from bosses. These events will be reflected as in-game buff, and they should be available in the calendar.,

Items,

• All Commendations from Dalaran quest (items that increase your reputation) are now account bound.,

• Added [Tabard of Sons of Hodir] that works like all other tabards.,

• XP Boost is now in the form of Potion of the Rapid Mind that lasts 12 hours, persists through death and increases your XP by 100%. It can be freely traded.,

• Items from World Events will always be available as current tier items. So for example, if there is going to be 232 iLvl item in an event during T7, we won't remove that - we will add a new 200 iLvl version instead.,

• Sun-Lute is gone - long live Armata Strigoi available from a quest chain that we will give you more info soon. This legendary two-handed axe is its replacement, it has the same stats and proc. It was created by Scourge smiths, from remains and broken weaponry of dozens fallen champions of the Light. From many champions, one unending legion. It is not available to the Death Knight, because the essence bound within Armata Strigoi rejects those who were already claimed by undeath. For a Paladin or a Warrior, it exacts vengeance for the countless of souls enslaved by the Scourge, but for Death Knight there is only silence, because it denies those who are kindred of the damned.,

• Legendary Hunter bow will be added in T7 as a drop. Stay tuned for more info.,

• We will be adding some Emblems of Heroism as quest rewards in Northrend.,

• Path of War won't be available, but Savage Gladiator's set will be easier to get, most likely from a PvP quest chain.,

• There will be no more Honor + Arena Points (well, it's Conquest now) gear. Instead, one PvP set will be available for Honor only, second, for Conquest only. For example, in S5, you'll be able to purchase full Hateful set for Honor, and full Deadly set for Conquest. In S6, you can purchase full Deadly for Honor, and full Furious set for Conquest.,

Mounts & Pets,

• Lots of new mounts and pets were added, there will be a gallery soon. That includes a completely new spider mount that has 100% chance of dropping from Kel'Thuzad on Heroic difficulty.,

• All trash in Naxxramas will have about 5-10% chance of dropping a 60% mount, Naxxramas Deathcharger which will be useable inside of Naxxramas.,

Glyphs,

• Glyph of Stars (minor) is a new, secret glyph for druids that can be bought in a certain place (in-game, of course). It changes your Moonkin Form appearance to Astral Form, so you're more visible!,

• Glyph of Omen of Clarity (major) for druids, learned from Northrend inscription trainer, requires 390 skill. "Your Omen of Clarity talent has a 100% chance to be triggered by successfully casting Faerie Fire (Feral). Does not trigger on players or player-controlled pets.",

• Glyph of Reckoning (major) for paladins, learned from Northrend inscription trainer, requires 390 skill "Your Hand of Reckoning spell no longer taunts the target and can deal damage to untauntable targets.",

• Glyph of Shattering Throw (minor) for warriors, learned from Northrend inscription trainer, requires 390 skill "Your Shattering Throw is now instant and can be used in any stance, but it no longer removes invulnerabilities and cannot be used on players or player-controlled targets.",

Classes,

• Paladin: The Holy Vengeance and Blood Corruption DoT effects from Seal of Vengeance and Seal of Corruption may now be applied by Divine Storm and Crusader Strike, in addition to normal melee hits.,

• Hunter: Trap Launcher: Explosive Trap has been added from level 77. It cannot be used in battlegrounds or arenas.,

• Mage: Time Warp (Mage's version of Bloodlust) has been added. It cannot be used in battlegrounds or arenas.,

• Warrior: removed 10% damage penalty from Titan's Grip. We will gradually reintroduce it in Ulduar and ToC content.,

• Warrior: completely overhauled Protection spec. It's not going to be better than Prot Paladin or Blood DK, but it's going to be infinitely better than original Prot Warrior.
