Introducing Two New Races to Azeroth
The Alliance and the Horde are set to welcome two distinctive races into their ranks: the worgen and the goblins. Each brings with them a distinct set of skills and attributes, enriching the ongoing struggle between the two factions.
The Cursed Worgen
Nestled within the confines of the formidable Greymane Wall lies the kingdom of Gilneas, its citizens grappling with a dire affliction. Many among them have fallen prey to a malevolent curse, transforming into fearsome worgen—creatures that embody a fusion of man and beast. Isolated and besieged by the Forsaken, these afflicted souls sought refuge and guidance from the night elves, learning to harness and temper their savage nature under their tutelage.
Now, standing as stalwart defenders of the Alliance, the worgen embrace their primal instincts across a spectrum of vocations, including Death Knight, Druid, Hunter, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior.
The Cunning Goblins
Renowned for their astuteness and unyielding pursuit of wealth, goblins have long held sway over the realms of commerce and innovation. Reviving past alliances, the Bilgewater Cartel goblins have aligned themselves with the Horde, eager to capitalize on new opportunities and extend their influence. Across various disciplines—be it Death Knight, Hunter, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, or Warrior—these enterprising goblins lend their ingenuity to the cause.
Following the abrupt departure of Trade Prince Gallywix in the aftermath of the Fourth War, the Bilgewater Cartel found itself without leadership. Now, under the guidance of Trade Prince Gazlowe, renowned for his acumen and strategic prowess, the goblins navigate the intricacies of Horde politics, ensuring their interests are aptly represented on the council.
Character Boost Changes
With the upcoming pre-expansion patch, there will be changes to character boosts. Unused Level 58 Dark Portal Pass Character Boosts and Level 70 Character Boosts will be converted to the current Level 80 Character Boost. This conversion will take effect once the patch is live, so it's important to plan ahead for how you'd like to utilize your boosts.
Leveling Updates in Azeroth
With the impending pre-expansion content update, adventurers will find themselves traversing a vastly altered landscape in both Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. From levels 1 to 60, players will embark on new quests amidst these transformed territories, while also having the opportunity to initiate their journey as either a goblin or a worgen, the latest additions to the pantheon of playable races.
In the aftermath of Deathwing's cataclysmic rampage, a plethora of fresh challenges and adventures await, rendering many original quests obsolete. As the Shattering reshapes the very fabric of Azeroth, quests that no longer align with the altered landscape will be automatically removed from players' quest logs. However, any ongoing quests that remain pertinent to the revised world will persist within your log.
For those who have achieved the esteemed titles of "Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms" or "Loremaster of Kalimdor," fret not, as these achievements will remain intact. Yet, for those still in pursuit of these accolades, it's imperative to heed the imminent return of Deathwing. Any missions eradicated from the game will no longer contribute to your progress, potentially impacting the completion status of these achievements. Therefore, it is strongly advised to expedite any remaining tasks to ensure attainment before the cataclysmic events unfold.
New Profession
Embark on a journey of discovery as you delve into the mysteries of Azeroth's ancient past with the introduction of the Archaeology profession. Traverse the landscape, surveying dig sites, and unearth fragments of history to piece together fascinating artifacts. Whether you're unraveling the enigmatic secrets of a forgotten civilization or uncovering relics of legendary significance, Archaeology offers adventurers a captivating new way to explore the world.
Transmogrification System
Elevate your style and express your individuality with the Transmogrification System—a revolutionary addition to Azeroth's arsenal of customization options. Located within the bustling capital cities, the Transmogrifier empowers players to redefine the appearance of their weapons and armor, allowing for unparalleled personalization. Whether you seek to emulate the grandeur of ancient heroes or craft a wholly unique aesthetic, the Transmogrification System grants you the freedom to curate your own visual identity in the ever-evolving world of Warcraft.
