High End Locations added
Two new high-level instance dungeons - Stratholme and Blackrock Spire - and three exterior zones - Winterspring, Western Plaguelands, and Eastern Plaguelands - have been introduced to Azeroth.
Stratholme is geared toward level 55-60 players and is located in the northern part of Eastern Plaguelands.
Blackrock Spire is a 53-60 dungeon located within Blackrock Mountain that lies between Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes. Roughly 80% of the dungeon is tuned for a single group of level 55-60 players. The top 20% of the dungeon is tuned for a very "uber" group of five, or more likely 10, level 60 players.
Winterspring is exterior level 55-60 zone to the East/Northeast of Felwood through Timbermaw Hold. The goblin city of Everlook is located in Winterspring.
Western and Eastern Plaguelands have also been added. The city of Anderhol, the origin of the plague is located in Western Plaguelands.
*Quests and monsters are near completion for Winterspring and Western Plaguelands. Eastern Plaguelands is still undergoing further work.
Raid Groups
Raid group functionality is now available. Raid groups will be able to fight together in instance dungeons and work together to accomplish tasks too difficult for five member groups. Once a group reaches five members, it can be converted into a raid group. Raid groups can support up to 40 members and can be accessed by opening the Raid group tab in the Social window. Not all raid group functionality is complete. However, we encourage our players to try it out and give us feedback on the new feature through the /suggest function.
The Deeprun Tram opens!
The Gnomish Engineering Corps has been hard at work building a subway to connect the great cities of Ironforge and Stormwind City. Final work on this new mass transit system was completed recently, allowing us to announce the Grand Opening of the Deeprun Tram! Two trains make round trip runs between Stormwind City and Ironforge regularly, allowing quick and easy access to all your shopping and training needs. If you happen to miss a train, you only need to wait a few minutes for a new one to appear. We only ask that you be careful during your trip as the run out of the tunnel can be long and uneventful should you happen to fall off the tram during transit.
Trades Skills become Professions
Most trade skills are being renamed to "professions," and the way in which players acquire and learn them is changing. You will no longer learn different professions by paying for them with skill points. You'll still learn them by speaking to the appropriate profession trainer. However, players will now be restricted to learning two professions. We decided to change the skill system to make it simpler, balanced, and more intuitive. The new system should allow everyone to participate in one to two professions, and create a much more vibrant market for goods generated from professions.
The professions are: alchemy, blacksmithing, enchanting, engineering, herbalism, mining, leatherworking, skinning, and tailoring.
Several old trade skills are being turned into secondary skills. These do not count toward your two-profession limit, so players can learn all three secondary skills, in addition to their two professions, without restriction. The survival skill is being removed and campfires have been folded into the cooking profession.
The secondary skills are: cooking, fishing, and first aid.
No More Skill Points
With the changes to trade skills, skill points (SP) will be removed from the game, and currency will be used instead to train skills formerly based on SP.
Mount trainers will now require you to have a certain level of reputation with their respective city in order to acquire a mount.
Characters that had trained in more than two professions have had excess professions randomly removed to meet the two profession restriction.
Level Cap Raised
The level cap has been increased to 60. Some new zones, quests, items, and content have been added to accommodate the level increase.
Talent System
Druid and Shaman talents are now available. Druids and Shamans can now utilize the talent interface by pressing the "Talents" button next to the "Spellbook and Abilities" button, or by pressing the "N" default hotkey. Talents become available (to classes that currently have talents) to players starting at level 10.
A substantial number of talents have been modified in a variety of ways:
Certain talents have had their potency increased or decreased.
Locations of talents in the talent trees have changed.
Functionality of certain talents has been modified.
New talents have been added to some of the existing talent trees.
Other Changes
Professions:
The level requirements for the Gnome and Goblin engineering quests have been adjusted downward.
Blacksmithing recipes added up to skill 300. There are no recipes on the trainer past skill 250. You need to do quests or find drops to get those recipes.
Additional blacksmithing specializations added. Weaponsmiths can become Swordsmiths, Axesmiths, or Hammersmiths.
Players who already have either blacksmithing specialization, weaponsmith or armorsmith, will continue to be able to make those recipes that they already know. However, to learn further recipes in those specializations, they will need to complete the weaponsmith or armorsmith quest, respectively.
Time required to make high-end profession items significantly reduced
Essences, dusts and shards have had their vendor sell price set to zero.
Bandaging operates differently than it used to. Bandages now are channel cast and heal over time. If the player bandaging or the player being bandaged is struck in combat, the bandaging effect ends. Either way the target still gets the "recently bandaged" debuff.
Enchanters can now enchant leather and thorium (needed for some high-end blacksmithing recipes and soon other high-end recipes in other professions).
Alchemists can now transmute thorium and arcane crystals into arcanite. This is the only way to acquire this rare material.
Stats on a number of tailored items have been improved
A number of new higher level cooking recipes added
Merchant purchase/sale price of herbs significantly increased
Alchemist's Stone has become Philosophers' Stone.
Tailoring recipes improved or reagents required reduce for many recipes.
UI added to professions to allow making of multiple profession items at once
Cindercloth robe fixed so it now requires Heart of Fire instead of Essence of Fire
Stoneshield potion significantly improved.
If you attempt to learn a recipe you already know, you will now see a message that says you already know it.
A number of engineering devices did not have the correct bind type set and are now bind on equip or bind on acquire.
Stats on the Smoking Heart of the Mountain changed
Spears cannot be enchanted with 2H Weapon-only enchantments
Fist Weapons can now be enchanted (bug fixed).
Mithril Shield Spike damage slightly reduced, Thorium Shield Spike (more powerful crafted item) added
The Gnomish engineering Net-o-Matic will now fail more often and in a new way as well.
A number of engineering items had tools/anvil required to create them (fixing bugs)
Scorpid Scale drops for leatherworking increased (Drop rate doubled)
Wastewanders in Tanaris now have a much higher chance of dropping the Scorpid Leather recipes.
A number of new uncommon weapons/armors have been added to vendors around the world
New daggers have been added to blacksmithing
Dreamless Sleep potion added to alchemy
Reagents required for some alchemy potions changed.
Reagents for some blacksmithing items changed.
Old enchanting reagents removed from vendors (they should have been removed last push).
Gemology has been removed (with hopes it will make a return someday).
Factions and Reputation:
The Horde and Alliance are each considered a team, and the four races comprising each team are considered factions. The four starting racial factions for each team should be displayed under the appropriate team's header.
Factions are now displayed with appropriate headers in the Reputation UI. Factions that do not fall into the category of a team are labeled as "Other."
The factions of the opposing team are always at the lowest reputation level of Hated, and are always locked in the "At War" state.
Players have a bonus to their starting reputation with their own race's faction.
Forsaken players have lower-than-normal starting reputation with their team's Troll, Tauren, and Orc factions.
Troll, Tauren, and Orc players have lower than normal starting reputation with their team's Forsaken faction.
You cannot declare war on any of your own team's factions.

The layouts of the Orgrimmar and Ironforge auction houses have changed slightly.
The auction house in Booty Bay has been moved to Gadgetzan.
Quests:
Range weapons have been added as quest rewards for newbie zones that Hunters can start out in.
Several new blacksmithing quests have been added.
The quest *Death from Below* in Arathi Highlands was temporarily disabled.
Several new epic item quests have been added.
Dungeon quest rewards have been revamped. Quests that involve the more difficult encounters of a given dungeon have had their rewards boosted.
Added a third Sparklematic 5200 to Gnomeregan, and fixed the issue that had both previous ones animating at the same time.
Lowered the cost of improving the Brilliant Gold Ring in the "Return of the Ring" quest series. The improved ring should also now be strictly better than the Brilliant Gold Ring.
Removed the random spawn location of Scrimshank's surveying gear in "The Scrimshank Redemption."
Players should no longer receive the option to take part once more in the "Essence of Eranikus" quest line once they have started on it.
Cenarion Circle Caches no longer give a coin award.
Evergreen Pouches, not Packets of Tharlendris Seeds, are now the device used to make Morrowgrain. Using a pouch creates an Evergreen Herb Casing, which when opened reveals what herb is made.
Evergreen Pouches now require that you have a Packet of Tharlendris Seeds and two Un'Goro Soil samples to use.
Evergreen Pouches have a cooldown time of 10 minutes on usage.
The potential herbs drawn from a Sealed Evergreen Pouch have been modified to include a broader range of herbs. As a result, players will not be getting high-end herbs as often on pouch usages.
Scalding Mornbrew is now removed from the inventory five minutes after receiving it.
Two new Warlock class quest series added for players in their mid 30s ending with two very nice items.
Zones:
The Barrens has had more rework done on their quests to make the area more player-friendly and to elaborate on the story behind the area.
Thousand Needles has had more quests and zone rework done. Horde players should find this a much healthier alternative to Hillsbrad Foothills to explore and do more quests.
Desolace has also had a facelift and should be getting more quests soon.
Two new crypts have been added to Ravenhill Cemetary.
Ironbeard's Tomb in Wetlands is now a one room, Dwarven-built mausoleum.

New World Travel
Alliance Boat from Menethil to Theramore and back
Alliance Boat from Menethil to Auberdine and back
Alliance Boat from Rut'theran Village at the base of Teldrassil to Auberdine
Because of these changes, players now do not start with any flight node other than their starting city. On the Alliance side, Night Elves get Auberdine, Dwarves and Gnomes get Ironforge, and Humans get Stormwind. On the Horde side, Tauren get Thunder Bluff, Orcs and Trolls get Orgrimmar, and Undead get Undercity.

Version 10.3.5 is a free online upgrade for the base 10.3 OS product. You can download the upgrade by selecting the Software Update menu option under the Apple menu. The change was made due to required GPU-driver fixes in the Mac OS version required by World of Warcraft.

You are able to use out-of-combat abilities much more quickly after combat.
Items with procs are currently already using time-based procs. Their proc frequencies are entered as the number of desired procs per minute, and their actual per-swing proc chances are calculated from that using the weapon's speed.
