34-  Most enchantments on items are no longer counted against the maximum

37   one be removed involuntarily.
38-  Fixed a graphical error with the Dreadnaught Helmet.

93Drums of War
94
95Cross-Realm Battlegrounds
96-  For the first time in the history of World of Warcraft, you will be
97   able to face off against players from other realms in the
98   Battlegrounds. PvP Battlegrounds link Alterac Valley, Warsong Gulch,
99   and Arathi Basin so that players from several realms will be
100   combined into one huge matchmaking pool. Replenish your mana,
101   sharpen your blades, and get ready for some brand-new challengers!
102
103World PvP
104-  The stage is set for intense, objective-based land battles as Horde
105   and Alliance vie for control over important strategic positions and
106   resources around Azeroth. Head out for Silithus and Eastern
107   Plaguelands to engage the enemy on the field!
108
109General
110-  Threat Reduction Effects
111   This system has been redesigned to eliminate inconsistency in how
112   the effects work. Previously, some were additive (for example: 30%
113   reduction + 20% reduction = 50% reduction) while others were
114   multiplicative (30% reduction and 20% reduction made 44% reduction,
115   from 0.7*0.8). They are now all multiplicative. This also prevents
116   unpredictable behavior when the total reduction percentage was equal
117   to or greater than 100%. Please note that in almost all cases, when
118   stacking multiple threat reduction effects you will experience less
119   threat reduction than previously.
120-  Haste and Slow effects
121   Previously Haste and Slow effects worked inconsistently, with spells
122   working differently from weapons, and hastes and slows not acting as
123   inverses of each other. We have revised the system so that all haste
124   and slow effects work the same way, and haste and slow percentages
125   of the same magnitude perfectly cancel each other out (30% haste and
126   30% slow combine to no change). As a result, we had to change the
127   tooltip numbers on all spell haste effects, and on all melee and
128   range slow effects. The numbers in the tooltips are different, but
129   the game functionality is unchanged (other than slight rounding
130   errors). Those tooltips that changed will now display larger numbers
131   than they used to display. Conceptually, haste values indicate how
132   much more of that activity you can perform in a given time. 30%
133   melee haste means 30% more swings in a given time. Slow values
134   indicate how much longer an activity takes to complete. 30% slow
135   means an action takes 30% longer to finish.
136-  The deserter debuff will now continue to expire even while you are
137   offline.
138-  Honorable Kills now diminish at a rate 10% per kill rather than 25%
139   per kill.
140-  Temporary item buffs (e.g. poisons, sharpening stones and shaman 
141   weapon buffs) will no longer persist through zoning or logging out
142   due to technical issues.  This feature is anticipated to be 
143   activated once more with the expansion.
144
145Druids
146-  Barkskin: The tooltip has been changed to 25% due to the haste effect
147   change.

161-  Spirit Bond: This ability will now be correctly reapplied when you
162   resurrect in a battleground and your pet is polymorphed or otherwise
163   unable to act normally.

165   be placed on the victim if the hunter is killed before their shot
166   reaches the target.

168   mode.
169-  The Ferocity talent now correctly applies to non-physical hunter pet
170   abilities such as Lightning Breath and Thunderstomp.
171-  If a hunter has tamed one of the following creature types, they will
172   no longer potentially change colors if resummoned:

175   Deep Stinger - Red

194-  Impact: The effect of this talent will now still be placed on the
195   victim if the caster is killed before their spell reaches the target.
196-  Frostbite: The effect of this talent will now still be placed on the
197   victim if the caster is killed before their spell reaches the target.
198-  Polymorph: This spell will now be removed when a player leaves a
199   battleground. This prevents some bugs involving polymorph from

201-  Evocation will no longer be usable while silenced.
202-  Reduced the number of messages that appear in the combat log when
203   using Combustion.

219
220Rogues

222   points refunded and can be re-spent. Training costs for all talent

250-  Chain Heal - After the initial target is healed, the healing effect
251   will jump to the most damaged target (by absolute health) within
252   range. In addition, if a raid member is the initial target it will
253   look for valid raid targets to jump to rather than non-raid targets
254   as a priority, making it consistent with group targeted Chain Heals.
255-  Lightning Shield: Air Bubble pockets in underwater regions will no
256   longer consume a charge from this spell.
257
258Warlocks
259-  Cripple (Doomguard): Due to haste effect change, the tooltip has

278   spell damage.  At rank 3 and above, the base amount of health lost
279   and mana gained will increase by 80% of your bonus spell damage
280   effects.  Talents and items can further modify those values.  Rank
281   1 and 2 receive reduced effect.
282
283Warriors
284-  Bloodthirst: This ability will now correctly benefit from attack
285   power bonuses versus specific creature types.

295   which was preventing it from benefiting healing spells.

311-  Ranged Elemental Damage: Our ranged combat system does not allow a
312   ranged weapon to do a mix of Elemental (Fire, Frost, Arcane, etc.)
313   and Physical damage. Many ranged weapons existed which were listed
314   as doing Elemental damage and did not function properly (the damage
315   was dealt, but was treated as Physical). All of those weapons have
316   been changed to deliver the Elemental damage as a chance on hit
317   effect. Hurricane was previously changed this way in 1.11. The
318   following ranged weapons are also fixed in 1.12: Bow of Searing
319   Arrows, Dwarven Hand Cannon, Heartseeking Crossbow, Dark Iron Rifle,
320   Galgann's Fireblaster, Quillshooter, Shell Launcher Shotgun,
321   Venomstrike, and Verdant Keeper's Aim.

326   from this trinket. 
327-  Zandalarian Hero Charm: Item tooltip corrected to match the effect
328   tooltip.
329-  The Items that summon mounts have been changed in their
330   color/quality. Items that summon normal mounts are now blue
331   (superior)items and items that summon swift mounts are now purple
332   (epic) items.
333-  Fixed a bug that allowed you to use items which restored health or
334   mana while you were already full health or mana.
335-  Fixed a bug with the Jom Gabbar trinket which was causing it to
336   trigger a category cooldown for a duration longer than intended.

354   damage.
355-  Goblin Land Mines and Compact Harvest Reapers will no longer lock
356   out using other engineering devices until the land mine/reaper dies.
357   Harvest Reaper was given a 10 min self cooldown to prevent too many
358   reapers from being summoned at once.
359
360Raids and Dungeons
361-  Uldaman
362   Reduced the number of Shadowforge Ambushers that attack after
363   looting the quest chest.
364   Shadowforge Ambushers are no longer elite.
365   The respawn of the Stone Stewards has been changed to 2 hours
366   (from 30 minutes).

368   The respawn of the 2 Troll/1 Basilisk patrollers should now be 2
369   hours.

385   Noxxious Scions will no longer spawn when you cleanse Celebrian
386   Vines.
387-  Ahn'Qiraj
388   Lieutenant General Andronov's Aura of Command should no longer 
389   generate threat. This will hopefully prevent him from pulling aggro
390   on the entire wave, leading to his untimely death.
391   Hive'Zara Hatchlings can now swim.
392   Egg Explosion will no longer burn charges from spells such as 
393   Lightning Shield.
394   It should no longer be possible for Emperor Vek'lor and Vek'nilash
395   to Unbalancing Strike or Arcane Burst immediately after a teleport.
396   
397User Interface
398-  V key functionality has been improved in several ways.

400   Stratholme.)
401   V key now shows both monsters and player enemies.
402   V now shows enemies only (no longer shows friendly targets.)

404   bindable hotkey.)

406   bindable hotkey.)
407-  New floating combat text has been added to the game with a number of
408   options. You can see when you take damage, when you are healed and

410   turn on the new options in the newly revised options screen.
411-  There is now an option to turn on the display of your own name above
412   your head. You can find the option in the interface options screen.
413-  The Need Before Greed and Group Loot countdown timers will now have a
414   3 minute countdown when there is a bind on acquire item on the
415   corpse. This should allow a bit more time in making a decision to
416   roll for an item.
417-  Automatic Quest Tracking has been added to the game and is turned on
418   by default. Any time you advance a quest by advancing one of the
419   requirements, the quest information will appear on your screen for
420   5 minutes before fading. You can turn this option off from the
421   options screen.
422-  The options screen has be redone and expanded due to space required
423   for additional options. Also the location of various options has
424   been changed in the options screen. They should make more sense now,
425   though they will not be in quite the place you remember them being.
426-  There is now a confirmation dialogue when you attempt to disband
427   your guild.
428-  When you destroy a superior quality (blue) or better item, you will

436   |"GUILD"|"BATTLEGROUND"). When players receive these messages, a new
437   event "CHAT_MSG_ADDON" is sent, with arg1-arg3 being the parameters
438   to SendAddonMessage(), and arg4 being the name of the player that
439   sent it. The combined length of "prefix" and "message" must be less
440   than or equal to 254 bytes.
441   Added UnitPlayerOrPetInParty() and UnitPlayerOrPetInRaid().
442
443Bug Fixes
444-  Fixed a bug that caused some non-combat pets to be referred to as
445   Minions instead of Pets. Mini Diablo however has escaped this fate

448   cooldown on the Gnomish Cloaking Device.

596
597--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
598- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.11.0 (2006-06-20)
599--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
600
601Shadow of the Necropolis
602  Floating above the Plaguelands, the necropolis known as Naxxramas 
603  serves as the seat of one of the Lich King's most powerful officers, 
604  the dreaded lich Kel'Thuzad. Horrors of the past and new terrors yet 
605  to be unleashed are gathering inside the necropolis as the Lich 
606  King's servants prepare their assault. The Scourge marches again...
607  Naxxramas is the new 40-man raid dungeon that will present even the 
608  most experienced and powerful players with an epic challenge. 
609
610General
611- The cost to unlearn talents will now decay over time. This cost will 
612  be reduced by a rate of 5 gold per month to a minimum of 10 gold.
613- Logging back in after a disconnect from the server has been greatly 
614  improved, and players should now rarely receive the message "A 
615  character with that name already exists."
616- Fear: The calculations to determine if Fear effects should break due 
617  to receiving damage have been changed. The old calculation used the 
618  base damage of the ability. The new calculation uses the final amount 
619  of damage dealt, after all modifiers. In addition, the chance for a 
620  damage over time spell to break Fear is now significantly lower. Note 
621  that Fear continues to be roughly three times as likely to break on 
622  player targets as on non-player targets. In addition, Intimidating 
623  Shout now follows that player versus non-player distinction, while 
624  previously it did not.
625- Periodic Healing: Spells which do periodic healing will now have 
626  their strength determined at the moment they are cast. Changing the 
627  amount of bonus healing you have during the duration of the periodic 
628  spell will have no impact on how much it heals for.
629- Reflection: Effects which cause reflection will no longer reflect 
630  triggered effects separately from their base effects (e.g. Impact, 
631  Improved Shadow Bolt, Aftermath, etc.)
632- Spell and Item Auras with Charges: These auras will now correctly 
633  remember their number of charges when you enter or leave an instance, 
634  change continents, or log out.
635- All controlled units will now be titled based on the creature type. 
636  All beasts will be referred to as Pets, for example (no matter how 
637  they are controlled). Previously, there were several inconsistencies.
638- Beneficial spells and abilities that target multiple units will no 
639  longer consume resources (i.e. mana, rage etc...) if they fail to 
640  affect anyone.
641- Chain targeted spells and abilities (e.g. Multi-shot, Cleave, Chain 
642  Lightning) will no longer land if target cannot be seen by the caster 
643  due to stealth or invisibility.
644- Character model transparency has been modified to fix an issue where 
645  PC's would appear to have a large hole in their model (be on the 
646  lookout!).
647- Optimization code known as "M2Faster" is now enabled by default. 
648  M2Faster can improve performance in crowded scenes when "Vertex 
649  Animation Shaders" is turned on. This function can be turned off by 
650  setting M2Faster to "0" in the config.wtf.
651   Reduces the unique number of vertex shader permutations that we will 
652   choose to use in rendering
653   Sorts the drawing of items in the scene a little differently to 
654   reduce the number of times we re-program the vertex shader hardware. 
655
656PVP
657- In an effort to keep their armies better outfitted the Horde and 
658  Alliance have both taken it upon themselves to update their available 
659  rewards.
660   An updated set of armor rewards have been added to vendors for Honor 
661   ranks 7, 8, and 10.
662   The armor rewards for Honor ranks 12 and 13 have been increased in 
663   level and stat point allocation.
664   New rank 14 weapons have been added! In order to give casters the 
665   same diversity of selection that melee currently enjoy we have added 
666   new caster items that are available to be purchased by Grand 
667   Marshals and High Warlords. 
668
669Battlegrounds
670- Alterac Valley
671   Most of the NPC guard units have been removed.
672   Players now drop more quest items.
673   Creatures that remain in Alterac Valley have had their hit points 
674   reduced.
675   The buff that is periodically cast by each faction's Captain has 
676   been changed to a flat 20% hit point buff.
677   Upgrading troops through armor scrap turn-ins will also now result 
678   in your team's General enabling a periodic buff to your melee and 
679   spell damage. 
680- This buff scales from 10% at the Seasoned unit level, 20% at the 
681  Veteran unit level, and 30% at the Champion unit level.
682- Warsong Gulch - Epic leggings have been added to the Warsong Outrider 
683  and Silverwing Sentinel supply officers for all armor types. These 
684  items require Exalted status with their respective reputations. 
685
686Druids
687- Innervate: This spell is now a base ability for all Druids, trainable 
688  at level 40. Any Druid who formerly had the Innervate talent now has 
689  the Swiftmend talent instead.
690- Nature's Grace: You will no longer consume this effect when casting a 
691  spell which was made instant by Nature's Swiftness.
692- Swiftmend: This new talent has been added to the Druid Restoration 
693  tree, replacing Innervate as the 31 point ultimate talent. It 
694  consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth aura to produce an instant heal.
695- Enrage: Tooltip edited to clarify functionality. 
696
697Hunters
698- Counterattack (Survival Talent) - All ranks of this talent will now 
699  share the same cooldown.
700- Scorpid Poison: Duration slightly lengthened.
701- Changed the way hunter pet family armor bonuses and penalties are 
702  applied to allow the exact value from the Natural Armor talent to be
703  applied correctly. This may result in a very slight loss of armor to 
704  some pets (less than a third of a percent).
705- Improved Scorpid Sting: The aura from this Sting will now be removed 
706  (as intended) when a different Sting aura is placed on the victim. 
707
708Mages
709- Due to significant talent changes, mages will have all talent points 
710  refunded and can be respent. Training costs for all talent spell

722  Mana Shield.

724  through 5.

726  through 4.
727- Counterspell - Fixed a bug that made Counterspell unresistable.
728- Improved Scorch - Duration of Fire Vulnerability increased to 30 
729  seconds.
730- Blast Wave: The bonus this spell receives from effects that increase 
731  spell damage has been increased.
732- Cold Snap: This talent will now always clear the cooldown for Frost 
733  Ward, even if the cooldown was triggered by casting Fire Ward.
734- Cone of Cold: The bonus this spell receives from effects that 
735  increase spell damage has been increased.
736- Fire Ward: The amount of damage absorbed by this ward was increased 
737  substantially on all ranks.
738- Frost Ward: The amount of damage absorbed by this ward was increased 
739  substantially on all ranks.

742- Added a new level 60 quest available from Archmage Xylem in Azshara 
743  for mages.
744- Fire Ruby now has a sell value and can be disenchanted. 
745
746Paladins
747- Benediction: This talent will no longer incorrectly provide a double 
748  discount to Seal of Justice.
749- Blessing of Light: It is no longer possible for a target to appear to 
750  have multiple ranks of Blessing of Light. These multiple auras had no 
751  beneficial effect, merely causing confusion. Problems with targeting 
752  the spell when the caster has Blessing of Light effect on them have 
753  also been fixed.
754- Divine Favor: It is no longer possible to cast this immediately after 
755  a healing spell and "retroactively" make it a critical hit.
756- Illumination: When several critical effect healing spells are cast 
757  very quickly, you will now receive the correct mana refund for each 
758  one.
759- Judgement of Command: Now consumes a charge of the Zandalarian Hero 
760  Charm. In addition, when this spell is resisted it will no longer 
761  erroneously still do damage.
762- Judgement of Righteousness: Now consumes a charge of the Zandalarian 
763  Hero Charm.
764- Seal of Command: Clarified tooltip.
765- Vengeance: Seal of Command critical hits can now trigger this ability.

770  to make it easier to click; relative click radius decreased slightly.
771- Mind Control: If you cast Power Word: Shield while Mind Controlling a 
772  target, the Recently Shielded aura will now appear on the correct 
773  target instead of yourself.
774- Spirit of Redemption: This spell has a number of fixes: Spirit of 
775  Redemption form now has casting animations. Priests prematurely 
776  leaving battlegrounds with this aura on will now receive the Deserter 
777  debuff (as intended); Priests in Spirit of Redemption form at the 
778  completion of a battleground will have the aura removed without 
779  dying; It will now work correctly with the Darkmoon Card Twisting 
780  Nether item, resurrecting you after Spirit of Redemption has run its 
781  course; If you should die underwater the Spirit of Redemption will no 
782  longer have a breath bar appear; the Warlock Drain Soul spell will 
783  terminate producing 1 shard when the Priest switches to Spirit of 
784  Redemption form; You will no longer have to wait 30 seconds for 
785  graveyard resurrection upon your first death while using Spirit of

811  until Banish wears off. In addition, Soul Link's tooltip has been 
812  clarified to indicate it only works with your imp, voidwalker, 
813  succubus, or felhunter.
814- Curse of Agony: The damage from this spell will now continue even if 
815  the caster dies or leaves the area.

865Warriors
866- Improved Bloodrage talent changed to generate additional rage when 
867  the ability is used.
868- Improved Revenge ranks evened out, resulting in an additional 5% for 
869  the final rank. Chance to stun at each rank changed to 15/30/45%.
870- Bloodrage - Fixed a bug that caused Bloodrage to cost twice the 
871  intended health.
872- Flurry: The tooltip for this talent has been adjusted to indicate it 
873  only works on normal melee swings.
874- Shield Slam: This ability has received a redesign. It now costs 20 
875  rage to use and the damage it does is modified by your shield block 
876  value. However, the base damage has been reduced. 
877  It generates more threat per rage and more damage per rage than it 
878  did previously.
879- Sweeping Strikes: This spell has a number of fixes: When used in 
880  conjunction with Execute and the second victim is below 20% health, 
881  they will be hit with the full Execute amount. If the second victim

883  damage; If the ability you are using does not deal damage, it will 
884  not use a charge of Sweeping Strikes; The extra attack it generates 
885  when used with Whirlwind now has the correct damage range; The 
886  additional attacks generated by this ability will now properly take
887  into account the armor of the second target. 
888
889Items
890- Key rings have been added to the game.
891   Level 1-39 = 4 slots

915- We have re-evaluated the mechanics of consumable items in the game 
916  and concluded that these should work in a more intuitive manner. As 
917  such, most items that can not be equipped with right click abilities 
918  have been streamlined into one of three categories. Using an item of 
919  a particular category will trigger a shared cooldown among all other 
920  items in the same category. The categories break down as follows with
921  category cooldowns as listed.
922   Potions 2 minutes: This includes items such as Health Potion, Mana 
923   Potion, Invisibility Potion and Mighty Rage Potion.
924   Aggressive 1 minute: This includes items such as explosives, Really 
925   Sticky Glue and Discombobulator Ray.
926   Non-Aggresive 2 minutes: This includes items such as Healthstone, 
927   Night Dragon's Breath, Whipper Root Tuber and Target Dummy. 
928- Many items that can be equipped have had their cooldown category 
929  removed and will be controlled exclusively by the item's self 
930  cooldown. For example, the Gnomish Mind Control Cap should no longer 
931  trigger the cooldown of the Talisman of Arathor.
932- We have re-evaluated the class specific quest rewards for both 
933  Zul'Gurub and Ahn'Qiraj Ruins. To bring them more in line with the 
934  effort required to attain them we have upgraded the superior items to 
935  epic quality.
936- Updated the set bonus tool tip for The Elements and The Five Thunders 
937  set to better explain it's function
938- Antenna of Invigoration's damage type has been changed to Nature, it 
939  was never intended to do physical damage. It will also now properly 
940  display it's firing animation.

1145  zoning into the instance while that encounter is engaged. If you 
1146  attempt to zone into the instance while that encounter is engaged, 
1147  you will be resurrected at the outside entrance. We will be making 
1148  adjustments to the entrances to Molten Core and Blackwing Lair to 
1149  accommodate this change. Combat resurrections, soulstones, 
1150  reincarnate, etc. will still work fine. This is primarily to combat

1161   The various clan speakers (Bloodscalp Speaker, Sandfury Speaker, 
1162   etc) have had their hit points reduced considerably.
1163   Zandalarian Armor Replacement - Due to the changes made to the armor 
1164   rewards from the Paragons of Power quests, the trolls of Yojamba 
1165   Isle will now offer to replace pieces of armor that have been lost 
1166   or deleted.
1167   After careful consideration we have decided to add an additional 
1168   loot table to the High Priests of Zul'Gurub. Players should now see
1169   two items in addition to the tokens when slaying these bosses.
1170   When Hakkar gains the Berserk effect, Hakkar will now emote that he

1191   players to their lair.
1192   If Ouro has been defeated, Arygos will teleport players to the 
1193   chamber where the dragons are being held prisoner.
1194   Arygos will not teleport players that are in combat.

1211- Raid leaders now have a Ready Check button on their raid interface. 
1212  This can also be sent with /readycheck from the chat line. A Ready 
1213  Check sends an "Are you ready?" window with Yes/No buttons to all 
1214  players in the raid. The raid leader will get feedback in 30 seconds 
1215  on all the players who were not ready or who did not respond.
1216- Players now have a Raid Info button on their raid interface that 
1217  functions the same way /raidinfo worked before. This function will 
1218  display a pane showing all of the raid instances that a player is 
1219  saved to, rather than displaying it to the chat window.
1220- Players in a party may now select an option that allows them to all

1229   really want to reset all instances.

1239  gamefield. A party leader or raid leader/assistant can right-click the
1240  portrait of their target to select a symbol to associate with that 
1241  target. All players in the party/raid will see the selected symbol 
1242  over the head of the target as well as on the portrait of that target.
1243- Players can now turn on the "Target of Target" in the Raid and Party 
1244  section of the interface options. When this is turned on, anytime a 
1245  player is in a party or raid, it will show the portrait and health of 
1246  whatever your current target has targeted. You can click on that 
1247  portrait to target that thing directly or if you have the spell glove 
1248  up you can cast spells on the target of target without targeting it 
1249  directly.
1250- Bags that you are carrying now have a brown background when opened 
1251  and bags that are in your bank have a gray background when opened.

1253  bag they are carrying and one that is in their bank.
1254- When reputation increases from one level to the next (Friendly to

1258  dragon border around Bind on Pickup items.

1260  If the party has recently been inside an instance but is now outside 
1261  of the instance, the party leader will have a right-click option from 
1262  their own portrait (where you select the loot UI preference) that is 
1263  "Reset all Instances". If this is selected all non raid instances will
1264  be reset for the party.
1265- Players now automatically have Keyrings. When a player first acquires
1266  a key, they will automatically acquire a keyring that can only hold

1278  a color to indicate their type. Curses are purple, disease is yellow, 
1279  poison is green and magic is blue. In addition when a party member is 
1280  struck by one of these four types of negative effects, their portrait 
1281  will pulse the appropriate color for 30 seconds or until the effect 
1282  is removed.
1283- Using B at the bank will now toggle open/closed all of your bags and 
1284  all of your bank bags.
1285- When you are at the bank and your open bags would start to overlap

1375  normal damage.

1377- You will be removed from combat when Bloodrage ends, unless you are 
1378  engaged with the enemy.
1379- The range for resurrection is the same whether the target player has 
1380  released or not.

1382  with damage over time effects on them.

1408UI Scripting
1409- Frame XML Change - There is a new "clampToScreen" attribute, which 
1410  will prevent the frame from being dragged off the screen.
1411- Button XML Changes
1412   The button implementation has been changed from three fontstrings 
1413   to a single fontstring with three font objects. This is more 
1414   efficient, uses less memory, and reduces the complexity of defining
1415   a button. To support this, the existing NormalText, HighlightText, 
1416   and DisabledText elements have been deprecated (though they will 
1417   still work in 1.11 for backwards compatibility), and new elements 
1418   ButtonText, NormalFont, HighlightFont, and DisabledFont are defined 
1419   to replace them. 
1420- New API Functions
1421   SetCursor() can now be passed a 32x32 texture filename, as well as a
1422   cursor mode, or nil to reset the cursor.

1424   following fields in the addon TOC file: Title, Notes, Author, 
1425   Version, and any field starting with X- 
1426- Region Script Object - Region is the base object type for all frames, 
1427  textures and fontstrings. Region is also the type of object returned 
1428  by the new Frame:GetTitleRegion() method. Region:GetObjectType() returns 
1429  "Region", and Region:IsObjectType("type") returns true if "type" is 
1430  "Region".
1431   All regions have the following member functions:
1432   type = Region:GetObjectType()
1433   isType = Region:IsObjectType("type")
1434   name = Region:GetName()

1661--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1662- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.10.0 (2006-03-28)
1663--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1664
1665New High-Level Armor Sets!
1666  Adventurers of Azeroth can now quest to upgrade their previous Rare-
1667  quality Dungeon set to a new, higher-quality set, including epic gear!
1668  These tasks include all-new boss encounters, so prepare your finest
1669  group of dungeon-delvers and prepare for a challenge! 
1670
1671Weather!
1672  Weather has been introduced in the following areas around Azeroth:
1673  - Elwynn Forest
1674  - Tirisfal Glades
1675  - Dun Morogh
1676  - Darkshore
1677  - Alterac Mountains
1678  - Stranglethorn Vale
1679  - Feralas
1680  - Un'Goro Crater
1681  - Tanaris

1686
1687High-Level Instance Changes
1688  Along with the new Armor Sets, the high-level 5-10 man dungeons have
1689  received some changes regarding loot. Many items have been improved
1690  in quality and use. In addition, several epic items, such as
1691  Headmaster's Charge and the Runeblade of Baron Rivendare, have had
1692  their drop rates significantly increased. In order to preserve the
1693  challenge of these dungeons, they have had their instance caps
1694  lowered. Stratholme, Scholomance, and Blackrock Depths now allow a
1695  maximum of five players inside, and Blackrock Spire allows a maximum
1696  of ten. 
1697
1698Quest Experience to Gold Conversion at Level 60
1699  Previously, quest experience was wasted if one completed a quest at
1700  level 60. In this patch, any quests done at maximum level will have
1701  their experience reward converted to a healthy amount of gold, thus
1702  adding additional incentive to completing those quests in your log
1703  once you hit 60. 
1704
1705New Final Destination Flight Paths!
1706  If you're making several jumps to get to your destination, you will
1707  now be able to choose that flight path from your initial Flight
1708  Master. The costs will remain the same, but you no longer need to
1709  manually click on each path. The UI has also been improved
1710  significantly. 
1711
1712General

1737  players that charm them.

1739  invisible.

1741  detected.

1744  at the completion of the action.
1745- Reputation will no longer be gained if a pet kills a monster without
1746  aid.
1747- Added support for widescreen video resolutions.
1748
1749PvP & Battlegrounds
1750- Alterac Valley
1751   Flavor items from player loot in Alterac Valley will now stack and
1752   can be sold for a small value. These are items like Documents from 
1753   Boomstick Imports, Worn Running Shoes, etc.
1754   Players in Alterac Valley will no longer drop Darkspear Troll Mojo, 
1755   Dwarf Spines, Forsaken Hearts, Human Bone Chips, Orc Teeth, etc. and
1756   the quests have been removed for these items.  Instead when a player
1757   is slain in Alterac Valley, any enemies that were in that player's
1758   threat list will gain 1 point of reputation with either the
1759   Frostwolf or Stormpike factions.
1760   Frostwolf and Stormpike faction will now be gained by killing
1761   players of the opposite faction. Reputation will no longer be split 
1762   up among the entire raid group.
1763   Tower Banners in Alterac Valley can no longer be used through walls.
1764   Korrak the Bloodrager and his band of trolls have packed up their
1765   bags and left Alterac Valley for greener pastures.
1766- Arathi Basin
1767   The Horde can no longer bypass the gate before the match officially
1768   begins.

1770  significantly increased.

1772  players no longer do so. 
1773
1774Druids
1775- Healing Touch - Mana cost on all ranks reduced approximately 9%.
1776- Ravage - Can no longer be dodged, parried, or blocked.
1777- Cure Poison - Can no longer be cast while in Moonkin form.
1778- Gift of the Wild - Range and area of effect increased.
1779- Rip - Is now properly considered a Bleed effect.
1780- All shapeshift forms can now use equipped items.
1781- Nature's Swiftness - Now makes Rebirth and Soothe Animal spells
1782  instant cast.
1783- Bear Form and Dire Bear Form - It is no longer possible at very low
1784  health to die when shifting out of these forms.
1785- Pounce - This ability will no longer apply its bleed effect when the
1786  attack misses or is dodged.
1787- Some creature Mana Drain spells were previously able to mana drain
1788  druids in forms that do not display mana. That has been fixed.
1789- Previously, shifting into an animal form granted a one-second
1790  immunity to roots and snares. That has been changed to dispelling
1791  roots and snares.
1792- A new level 52 druid quest that takes place in Un'Goro crater has
1793  been added. 
1794
1795Hunters
1796- Multi-Shot - This ability now has its attack power normalized the
1797  same as melee instant attacks. This means that the attack power
1798  contribution from all ranged weapons will be the same, no matter what
1799  their speed. All weapons will contribute attack power as if they were
1800  2.8 speed. Weapons slower than 2.8 speed will do slightly less damage
1801  than previously; weapons faster than 2.8 speed will do slightly more
1802  damage.
1803- Aimed Shot - This ability now has its attack power normalized the
1804  same as melee instant attacks. This means that the attack power
1805  contribution from all ranged weapons will be the same, no matter what
1806  their speed. All weapons will contribute attack power as if they were
1807  2.8 speed. Weapons slower than 2.8 speed will do slightly less damage
1808  than previously; weapons faster than 2.8 speed will do slightly more
1809  damage.
1810- Improved Aspect of the Hawk - The buff from this talent has had its
1811  duration increased from 8 seconds to 12 seconds. Note that the haste
1812  it provides does not begin until the second shot after the triggering
1813  shot. This change is to compensate for that delay.
1814- Hunter's Mark - This spell no longer triggers procs on the spell
1815  caster. This was being abused to land debuffs without getting on the
1816  creature's hate list.
1817- Claw and Bite - Pets using these abilities will now generate the
1818  correct amount of threat. Only ranks 7 and 8 of claw were generating
1819  the correct amount previously.
1820- Bestial Wrath - No longer generates threat for the Hunter.
1821- New high-level boars now exist in the Eastern Plaguelands and have a
1822  new rank 6 version of the pet ability: Charge.
1823- The special turtle ability Shell Shield has been improved to no
1824  longer root or pacify the turtle, but instead apply a 30% melee slow
1825  for the duration of the effect. Cooldown has been improved from 5
1826  minutes to 3 minutes.
1827- Freezing Traps are now affected by diminishing returns.
1828- Pet Frenzy - This effect will now trigger off any kind of critical
1829  hit by the pet.
1830- Fixed problem where a tamed pet would be lost if the hunter died as
1831  the tame completed.
1832- Distract no longer rotates hunters who have feigned death.
1833- Hunter traps now use the same rules as stealth rather than being
1834  invisible. Detect Trap has been changed to reflect this.

1838- Improved Fire Ward - This ability now functions properly again.
1839- Detect Magic - This spell no longer triggers procs on the spell

1849Paladins
1850- Blessing of Light - Different ranks of this spell were stacking

1854- Righteous Fury - Righteous Fury will now always generate the correct

1887

1900  anti-magic energy. Any successful spell cast against the priest will
1901  burn mana from the attacker and cause Shadow damage.
1902- Elune's Grace (Night Elf) - Now also increases chance to dodge.
1903  Ranged damage reduction increased, duration decreased, mana cost
1904  decreased, now has a cooldown.
1905- Shadowguard (Troll) - Is now instant cast. Updated tooltip to reflect
1906  that damage caused by Shadowguard causes no threat. This was
1907  previously the case, but was undocumented.
1908- Inner Fire - Redesigned. Now increases armor by a significant amount
1909  but has 20 charges. Each melee or ranged damage hit will remove a

1915- Hex of Weakness (Troll) - Now also applies a -20% healing modifier in
1916  addition to its normal effect. The healing debuff does not stack with
1917  the warrior's Mortal Strike ability, although the damage penalty now
1918  stacks with either Touch of Weakness or Curse of Weakness. Mana cost
1919  decreased substantially.
1920- Starshards (Night Elf) - This spell now works like Curse of Agony,

1928  as before the cast time was reduced. Rank 2, 3, and 4, the mana cost
1929  was reduced to cost approximately 9% less mana per point of healing
1930  generated. The net effect on all ranks is that the healing per mana
1931  is 10% higher, the cast time is limited to 3 seconds, and the healing
1932  per second is unchanged. Note that spells with less than 3.5 second
1933  cast time will not receive the full bonus from plus healing items.

1938  healing items.

2031  be found scattered throughout Blackrock Depths, Blackrock Spire, Dire
2032  Maul, Scholomance, Stratholme, and The Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. We hope
2033  that you enjoy the first round of available relics and we will
2034  continue to add more in future patches.
2035- Many items in Blackrock Depths, Stratholme, Scholomance, and

2054  effectiveness.
2055- Biznicks 247x127 Accurascope now only affects ranged attacks, and

2072  the primary target will receive the slowing effect. In addition, the
2073  two effects have been broken down into two different debuffs to
2074  prevent incorrect information from appearing in the debuff tooltip
2075  for secondary targets (previously secondary targets were told they
2076  were slowed when they were not actually slowed).
2077- Wrath of Cenarius will now trigger off all damaging spells.

2079  melee and ranged abilities and spells which do non-physical damage.

2082  will also now burn charges from each casting of a damage over time
2083  spell, heal over time spell, and area aura spells such as Blizzard
2084  and Consecration. Only one charge will be burned per area spell cast,
2085  rather than multiple charges per target hit as was previously the
2086  case.

2097  blue-glowing scroll is a blue recipe, for example. As a reminder,
2098  white recipes can be purchased from a vendor somewhere in the world,
2099  so players should not pay too much for them at the Auction House.

2129  these trinkets. The Trinkets affected include the Zandalarian Hero
2130  Charm, Zandalarian Hero Badge, Zandalarian Hero Medallion, and most
2131  all the other Trinkets available from Zul'Gurub, Earthstrike, the

2271   Some of the undead that invade the Scarlet Bastion after Balnazzar's
2272   death have been removed to make exiting faster.

2282User Interface
2283- The Reputation UI has gotten a significant overhaul:
2284   You can now click on a faction in the reputation pane to get
2285   additional details/options.
2286   You can display one of your reputations on your main display where
2287   your experience bar currently displays. If you are not level 60 it
2288   displays two thin bars - experience and reputation.
2289   You can mark any of your factions as "Inactive". These factions will
2290   be moved to the bottom of your reputation pane in a callout that is
2291   closed by default. 
2292- Your experience bar will no longer display when you are level 60. The
2293  primary benefit of this relates to the improvements to the Reputation
2294  systems.
2295- Shift-R will now reply to the last person that you sent a tell to
2296  rather than the last person who sent a tell to you.
2297- Purchasing Bank Slots now has a confirmation dialogue to prevent
2298  accidental purchase.
2299- All Set bonuses for a set now display even if you do not have all the
2300  required items for that set. The set bonuses that you do not have yet
2301  display in gray and also show in parenthesis the number of pieces of
2302  the set required for that bonus.
2303- You can now mouseover items in your mailbox and get item mouseover
2304  information without opening the mail.
2305- The raid option to "Show Castable Buffs" should now work correctly.
2306- If a /who search brings up few enough names that those names are
2307  displayed to the chat interface, those names will be right clickable
2308  for invite/whisper purposes.
2309- Fixed a bug that would prevent health and mana display in group or
2310  raid from updating properly.
2311- Fixed problem where character specific macros could be overwritten
2312  by account-wide macros.
2313- You are no longer able to modify the Blizzard XML and Lua files.
2314- Addons and macros may not call or hook functions that initiate
2315  movement.
2316- Addons can no longer use RegisterForSave().

2680- Heart of the Wild - Previously, when shifting to Bear Form or Dire

2685  these forms will no longer cause an increase in current health.

2723--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2724- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.9.0 (2006-01-03)
2725--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2726
2727The Gates of Ahn'Qiraj
2728  The Gates of Ahn'Qiraj will house two massive, unique dungeons -- the
2729  Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, a 20-man raid dungeon, and the Temple of 
2730  Ahn'Qiraj, a 40-man raid dungeon. As players delve deeper into the 
2731  mysteries of Ahn'Qiraj, they will discover revelations of the 
2732  Silithid infestation and their shadowy masters, the Qiraji. Players 
2733  will have to complete a world event of massive proportions before 
2734  they can open the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj on their realm.
2735  ***During the public test of Ahn'Qiraj, the world event to open the 
2736  gates will be accelerated to allow testing of the dungeon content.*** 
2737
2738Linked Auction Houses
2739  Players will now be able to buy and sell goods with greater 
2740  effectiveness using the Linked Auction House system. Auction 
2741  Houses in Orgrimmar, Undercity, and Thunder Bluff will now share the 
2742  same pool of Horde player-created auctions, and Alliance players will 
2743  find the same to be true when visiting Ironforge, Stormwind City, and 
2744  Darnassus Auction Houses. This system has been expanded to support 
2745  the neutral Auction Houses as well. Tanaris, Everlook, and Booty Bay 
2746  will all be linked for players of both factions to access. In 
2747  addition, the "Looking for Group" and "Trade" channels have been 
2748  unified among the corresponding cities, meaning, for example, that 
2749  you can trade your goods or look for groups in Ironforge while in 
2750  Stormwind. 
2751
2752Multiple Battlegrounds Queues
2753  Players will be able to enter multiple battleground queues. No longer 
2754  must you make the hard decision of which queue to join -- when queued 
2755  for all three, you can join the first one available or hold out for 
2756  that particular battleground which you've really got your heart set 
2757  on. Should a queue open while you are already in a battleground, you 
2758  may switch to the new battle or remain in the current on.
2759
2760Soul Shard Bags
2761  Tailors now can make soul bags to hold soul shards. The smallest is a 
2762  20-slot bag, the recipe for which can be purchased in Gadgetzan. The 
2763  recipe for a larger bag can be found in Scholomance, and one for an 
2764  even larger bag can be found in Molten Core. In the main UI, these 
2765  soul bags will display how many shards they contain. So long as the 
2766  soul bags have room, any soul shards a warlock creates will 
2767  automatically go into the bag. 
2768
2769Raid Calendar System
2770  The raid-lockout system has undergone a significant change. The new 
2771  system will have all instances reset at a certain server time, 
2772  regardless of when you were actually saved to the instance. The reset 
2773  schedule is as follows:
2774  Molten Core: Every 7 Days, resetting during weekly maintenance.
2775  Blackwing Lair: Every 7 Days, resetting during weekly maintenance
2776  Onyxia: Every 5 Days
2777  Zul'Gurub: Every 3 Days
2778  Temple of AhnQiraj (40-man): Every 7 Days, resetting during weekly 
2779  maintenance
2780  Ruins of AhnQiraj (20-man): Every 3 Days
2781  All resets will occur during off-hours, when the least amount of 
2782  raids are active. 
2783
2784Important Note for Mac OS X Users
2785  The minimum supported Mac OS X revision for WoW will be changed in a 
2786  post-1.9.0 patch, from 10.3.5 to 10.3.9. If you are running 10.3.5 - 
2787  10.3.8 and need to get the free update, you can use Software Update 
2788  or you can go to the Apple website. This change will make 
2789  it easier for us to release future updates to the game, for example 
2790  to support upcoming Mac models based on Intel processors.

3579  shimmering emerald scales of the Green Dragonflight have been sighted 
3580  guarding the portals at the Great Trees... but these once-noble 
3581  creatures crawl with a new, strange menace, not the peace for which

3602
3603General
3604- Instant Attacks
3605   The mechanics of most instant melee attacks have been modified to 
3606   improve item balance. Previously, instant melee attacks did damage 
3607   based on the damage range of the weapon, plus a bonus for the 
3608   player's attack power. This bonus was then multiplied by the speed 
3609   of the weapon. As a result, slow weapons did more damage than was 
3610   intended, and fast weapons were considered inferior by most players. 
3611   We have changed the way the attack power bonus is calculated for 
3612   instant attacks. This change does NOT affect attack power 
3613   calculations for normal melee attacks. Instead of multiplying by the 
3614   speed of the weapon, the attack power bonus is now multiplied by a 
3615   fixed number pulled from the following table:
3616    + Two-handed weapons: 3.3
3617    + Daggers: 1.7
3618    + All other one-handed weapons: 2.4
3619   As a direct result of this, many weapons have shifted position in 
3620   their relative power. In particular, many Epic (purple) quality 
3621   items are now more powerful than slower Superior (blue) weapons.
3622   This change was not made to reduce the power of instant attacks, but 
3623   to correct the relative imbalance of weapon itemization. At a given 
3624   level requirement, epic quality weapons should always be more 
3625   powerful than superior quality weapons.
3626   Please also note that all normal weapon swings will be completely 
3627   unaffected by this change. The following abilities are affected by 
3628   the design change: Sinister Strike, Ambush, Backstab, Whirlwind, 
3629   Mortal Strike, and Overpower.
3630- The cost per point of durability to repair plate, chain, and leather 
3631  items has been reduced to be equal to the cost of repairing cloth items 
3632  of the same quality.
3633- You can now repurchase up to 12 items that you have sold to a vendor. 
3634  There is now a buyback tab on all merchants that you can select to 
3635  repurchase the last 12 items you sold since you last logged in. When 
3636  your character leaves the game or zones to a different area, this 
3637  list of items will be cleared, so if you have accidentally sold 
3638  something, don’t wait to buy it back. Buy it back immediately.
3639- Perception (Human Racial) is now usable while stealthed.
3640- Guardians and pets in aggressive mode no longer attack civilians.
3641- There is now a spell effect when you increase your reputation to a 
3642  new level.
3643- Channeled spells that are cancelled by movement can no longer be cast 
3644  while moving.
3645- Pets no longer break off attacks when their target is affected by 
3646  Warlock Fear.
3647- The "Knockout" mechanic has been renamed "Disorient" and all tooltips 
3648  that referenced this mechanic should be updated. 
3649
3650PvP
3651- Honor System
3652   The percentage of players that may reach ranks 6 through 14 has been 
3653   increased.
3654   Lower-level players should advance in the Honor System more quickly 
3655   than they had previously (although this change does not affect the 
3656   highest ranks they can achieve).
3657- Battlegrounds
3658   Each Battleground has an individual turn-in quest associated with 
3659   its related victory/loss condition. Upon completion of a 
3660   Battleground, the winning side will be awarded three Marks of Honor 
3661   while the losing side will be awarded one Mark of Honor. Three Marks 
3662   of Honor may be turned in to the associated questgiver for Honor 
3663   Points and faction increase. Should players complete this turn-in 
3664   quest, they will find that the bonus Honor Points for completion are 
3665   twice that of normal turn-in conditions (individual).
3666   Players of levels 10 - 19 will now be able to participate in the 
3667   battle for Warsong Gulch.
3668   Alterac Valley has received an overhaul:
3669    + In order to keep teams in Alterac Valley more numerically 
3670      balanced, players will now enter Alterac Valley on a one-for-one 
3671      basis (i.e. if there are 30 players in the battleground for each 
3672      side with 10 players in the Alliance queue and 2 players in the 
3673      Horde queue, only two players from each team will be added, 
3674      bringing the total to 32 per side).
3675    + The minimum number of players required to start a battle in 
3676      Alterac Valley has been lowered to 20 (the maximum is still 40).
3677    + Points for completing the map and winning have been slightly 
3678      decreased.
3679    + Graveyards and graveyard capture points are now at different 
3680      locations. The banners players must interact with in order to 
3681      capture a graveyard have been distanced from each other somewhat 
3682      in order to alleviate "graveyard zerging" and make graveyards 
3683      more meaningful to both defense and offense.
3684    + Several terrain changes were made to fix some geometry exploits 
3685      as well as to adjust for the new graveyard mechanic.
3686    + Iceblood Graveyard has been fortified.
3687    + The Frostwolf Relief Hut now has appropriate guards.
3688    + A great avalanche has closed off both the eastern and western 
3689      segments of Alterac Valley. This has displaced the Syndicate, the 
3690      Wildpaw Gnolls, and many of the Winterax Trolls.
3691    + Due to the avalanche, Korrak the Bloodrager and a small band of 
3692      surviving Trolls have made the Snowfall Graveyard their new home. 
3693      Players will find that Snowfall is now under Korrak's control and 
3694      they must defeat Korrak and his Troll guards if they wish to take 
3695      Snowfall.
3696    + The quests Korrak the Bloodrager (Alliance), Korrak the 
3697      Everliving (Alliance), The Legend of Korrak (Horde), and The 
3698      Return of Korrak (Horde) have been removed from the game. The 
3699      rewards for the initial quest involving Korrak have been moved 
3700      and can be acquired by completing the quest associated with 
3701      winning a match in Alterac Valley. We realize that some players 
3702      may have had the Korrak quest and never completed it. These 
3703      players may have already completed the quest for killing the 
3704      General and thus might not be able to benefit from the rewards 
3705      from the previous quest line. We have opted to add an extra quest 
3706      step at the end of the General kill quests to reward players that 
3707      fall under such conditions.
3708    + A new item has been added as one of the reward choices for the 
3709      quests Hero of the Stormpike and Hero of the Frostwolf.
3710    + NPC difficulty has been scaled down. All NPCs have had their 
3711      power reduced by 15-30%.
3712    + There is now a portcullis at the end of each of the entrance 
3713      tunnels inside Alterac Valley. They will rise two minutes into 
3714      the battle. 
3715- The PvP Tier2 Alliance and Horde Cloth armor sets have new updated 
3716  textures.
3717- Hunter traps no longer affect opposing players when the hunter is not 
3718  flagged for PvP. 
3719
3720Druids
3721- Due to significant talent changes, talent points for Druids have been

3725  level 40. Damage and Mana cost increased on all ranks. Spell is now

3727  Reach. Multiple Druids casting Hurricane will no longer stack the

4020  clams and chests while you are a ghost.
4021- Fixed bug where players would get stuck in the falling animation 
4022  if they cast an instant-cast spell while jumping.
4023- Fixed a missile bug that could cause crashes in large battles such

4096- Casting spells on your pets and summons will no longer cause guards

4099  that use mana.
4100- Fixed a bug where the Dazed ability used by creatures when attacking
4101  targets from behind was countered/dispelled by some spells
4102  (e.g. Blessing of Freedom).
4103- Fixed a bug where area of effect periodic damage spells were being
4104  resisted more frequently than they should have been when casting

4122  is polymorphed.

4127   player declines a group invite or when inviting someone that is 
4128   already in a group.

4135
4136PvP
4137- Battlegrounds
4138   Battleground "holidays" have been added to Warsong Gulch, Alterac
4139   Valley and Arathi Basin. Holidays occur during most weekends,
4140   starting on Thursday night at midnight and continuing until Tuesday
4141   morning.
4142   During a holiday, emmissaries from that Battleground will be found
4143   in the major cities, and honor/faction rewards for performing
4144   objectives in that battleground are increased.
4145   Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin will now be level-banded as follows:

4150   they may turn in to Captain Shatterspear or Sentinel Farsong for a
4151   faction reward.
4152   Offensive use of damage immunities no longer causes the flag to drop
4153   in Warsong Gulch.
4154   In the Battlegrounds, you will now automatically be resurrected by
4155   Spirit Healers unless you choose to decline.
4156   A bug that allowed ghost players to pass through the Warsong Gulch
4157   starting gate has been fixed.
4158   Alterac Valley now correctly rewards honor for owning graveyards at
4159   the end of the game.

4168   and leaving the effect of a Battle Standard.

4173   only display players in your instance.

4184  less honor.
4185- Players may no longer purchase items that require a PvP rank unless

4187
4188Druids

4203
4204Hunters

4206  points refunded and can be respent. Training costs for all talent
4207  spell/ability replacements have been significantly reduced.

4209  in an effort to give Hunters additional, viable choices when
4210  selecting talents.

4217  Trap Effect.
4218- Aimed Shot - Fixed tooltip to correctly display shot time.
4219- Auto Shot - Fixed a bug where switching targets would cancel Auto
4220  Shot. Switching targets should now continue firing on the newly
4221  acquired target.

4224- Flare - Fixed the tooltip to accurately reflect the actual radius of
4225  the effect.

4229  that are afflicted with other slowing effects (e.g. Wing Clip).
4230- Hawk Eye and Barrage have swapped locations, and we added 1 more rank
4231  to Barrage.
4232- Freezing Trap now shares the same duration in pvp as other
4233  long-duration forms of crowd control (ie: polymorph, fear, sap).
4234- The resist rate for hunter traps is now based on the hunter's skill
4235  rather than the level of the trap.
4236- Pet Abilities
4237   Hunters now have the first round of pet customization available. New
4238   passive abilities include increased armor, stamina, Fire resistance,
4239   Frost resistance, Nature resistance, Shadow resistance, and Arcane
4240   resistance.
4241   Hunter pets can now be untrained of all their skills from
4242   any beast trainer in the major cities. Similar to talents,
4243   untraining a specific pet scales up as you do it more times: 10
4244   silver, 50 silver, 1 gold, 2 gold, 3 gold, etc., eventually stopping
4245   at 10 gold.
4246   Training point costs for all abilities have been rebalanced. You'll
4247   now be able to use all your pet's training points with meaningful
4248   choices. To help make "hunting" pets more viable in more situations,
4249   the Growl ability is now free to all pets.
4250   Bats, owls, and carrion birds can now learn the Screech ability, a
4251   fast single-target attack that also lowers the attack power of all
4252   enemies within melee range of the pet.
4253   Cats can now learn Stealth. In addition to being unseen, they
4254   receive a damage bonus for their first attack coming out of stealth.
4255   Scorpids can now learn Scorpid Poison. The poison deals Nature
4256   damage over time and stacks up to five times on a single enemy.
4257   Wolves can now learn Furious Howl. The howl adds a flat amount of
4258   damage to all nearby party member's next attack (within 15 yards). 
4259- Hunter pets now gain experience based on the level difference between
4260  them and their target rather than the difference between the Hunters
4261  and their target. This will make it much easier to level up a low
4262  level pet. Keep in mind that the Hunter must still kill creatures
4263  from which he/she will gain experience.
4264- The tooltips for quick Hunter shots have been updated to show them as
4265  instant abilities.
4266- Feign death is no longer resisted by players.

4273
4274Paladins
4275- New Spell: Hammer of Wrath (Level 44) - Hurls a hammer that strikes
4276  an enemy for Holy damage. Only usable on a wounded target.

4278  (You can no longer kill Paladin Ghosts).
4279- Paladins can no longer activate Divine Favor on the previously cast
4280  healing spell. 
4281- Seal of the Crusader - Fixed a bug that displayed the incorrect
4282  amount of attack power increased by ranks 2, 3 and 5 of the spell.
4283
4284Priests
4285- Focused Casting - Mana cost removed. Now no longer triggers the
4286  global cooldown on all other spells.
4287- Vampiric Embrace - Now heals 20% of the damage actually caused
4288  (including critical hits, buffs etc...) but now only heals when
4289  shadow spells cause the damage.
4290- Switching to Shadow Form no longer cancels Holy buffs on a priest.
4291- You can cancel melee combat while mind controlling by clearing the
4292  target, like you can normally. 
4293- Blackout - Fixed a bug where rank 2 of the talent wasn't giving a
4294  chance to stun.
4295
4296Rogues
4297- Riposte - Will now initiate combat when used.
4298- Deflection - Will now increase parry chance when using Fist Weapons.

4301  all other abilities.
4302- The fire damage from the Blazefury Medallion and the Gutgore Ripper's
4303  effect should no longer immediately break Gouge. 
4304- Riposte - Fixed a bug where the ability was not usable when a special
4305  attack (e.g. Gouge) is parried.
4306
4307Warlocks
4308- Inferno - The stun effect can now be resisted. Tooltip updated to
4309  reflect enslave duration after the initial summon.
4310- Spell Lock (Felhunter) - In addition to interrupting spellcasting, it
4311  will now silence the target for a short duration.
4312- Benefits received from the old Master Conjuror talent should now be
4313  removed on all Warlocks.
4314- Firestone - When a Firestone is equipped, it should no longer 
4315  interrupt tradeskill creation.
4316- Demonic Sacrifice - All effects gained from sacrificing the pet
4317  should no longer be dispellable.
4318- Conflagrate - The Conflagrate spell is now instant cast. The damage
4319  and mana cost has been raised on all ranks of the spell.
4320- Fear will now cause creatures to flee immediately, even if they are
4321  already moving.
4322- Succubus pets will be smarter about when to use Seduction.
4323- Succubus pets can now autocast Lesser Invisibility.
4324- Fixed a bug where Fear and Curse of Recklessness, when used together,
4325  would prevent targets from casting spells. 
4326- Fixed a bug where Soul Link and Power Word: Sheild, when used
4327  together, would heal the Warlock instead of splitting or absorbing
4328  damage. 
4329- Demon Armor - The armor increase will now stack together with
4330  Scrolls of Protection.
4331
4332Warriors
4333- Deflection - Will now increase parry chance when using Fist Weapons.
4334- Retaliation - Will now cause a maximum of 30 retaliatory strikes in
4335  15 seconds. In addition, retaliatory strikes will not be possible

4337- Improved Revenge - The stun effect can now be resisted.
4338- Mace Specialization - The stun effect can now be resisted.
4339- Retaliation, Recklessness and Shield Wall will no longer be cancelled
4340  if you switch stances while the effect is active.
4341- Shield Slam - Threat caused increased.
4342- Shoot Bow/Gun/Crossbow - Should no longer cause a global cooldown on
4343  all other abilities. 
4344- Sweeping Strikes will now ignore dead targets, and will ignore PvP
4345  enabled targets if you are not PvP enabled.
4346
4347Items
4348- We have determined that the defense statistic was being applied to
4349  items too liberally, causing those items to be stronger than they
4350  should have been relative to other items of the same level with
4351  different effects. As a result, we have reduced the amount of defense
4352  points on all items with bonuses to defense by approximately 33% in
4353  order to bring those items in line with other similar items.
4354- Proficiency Bonuses have been added to the game. Some sets of
4355  equippable items have been added that will give bonus effects to the
4356  player only if they have a specific skill, such as Leatherworking.
4357- With the new ability to train Hunter pets with considerable magical
4358  resistance, the amount of pet resistance granted by the set bonuses

4368  have had their Agility removed, and other statistics slightly
4369  increased.

4371  is now called "Netherwind Focus" and will be noted in your combat
4372  log.

4394  with the same bonus as the set bonus could reduce the affected stats
4395  twice until logout.
4396- Sayge's Dark Fortune of Resistance now adds +25 to all schools
4397  instead of +10%.
4398- PvP reward gloves that grant stealth detection have had the detection
4399  reduced somewhat.
4400- There are now items in the game that have a duration on them that is
4401  measured in real time. For instance, there are fish that have a
4402  four-hour duration; they only last four hours regardless of whether
4403  or not the character is logged in.
4404- Alterac Valley Spring Water now has a minimum level of 55.

4465- Free Action potions can now be dispelled.
4466- Wildvine potions have been improved.
4467- Dreamless Sleep potions now take full effect in 12 seconds instead

4469- There is now a Horde cooking recipe that uses Tender Crocolisk Meat
4470  found at Brackenwall Village.
4471- Dark Iron Boots have been added as Blacksmithing plans that require
4472  Exalted reputation with the Thorium Brotherhood.

4477  beaches of the world.
4478- Dark Iron mineral nodes will now sometimes appear in the Burning
4479  Steppes and Searing Gorge.

4482  before the enchantment is cast.
4483- The Gnomish Death Ray now only can be cast if the target is within 20
4484  yards. Previously you could cast this on players outside that range,
4485  even though the spell immediately failed.
4486- Cured Rugged hides now stack to 10 instead of 5. 
4487
4488Quest
4489- A great number of quests and events added to Zul'Gurub.

4492  (Archmage Xylem in Azshara), and Hunter (Ogtinc in Azshara).
4493- Reputation gains given to a player on the Alliance, Horde, or
4494  Steamwheedle Cartel factions directly will now cascade down to member
4495  factions through the middle of the Exalted reputation level.
4496- The summoning crystals of Andorhal have been removed; as a result,
4497  Araj the Summoner will behave like a normal spawn. The respawn time
4498  on Araj once he is slain is 10-15 minutes. It should be noted that
4499  the spawns surrounding where he holds dominion have been maintained;
4500  players seeking to defeat him should not be shy about bringing
4501  friends with them.
4502- Araj the Summoner now has increased hit points and does increased
4503  melee damage.
4504- Araj the Summoner no longer drops a Corruptor's Scourgestone 100% of
4505  the time when killed.
4506- The text for the Horde and Alliance versions of "Araj's Scarab" now
4507  reflect the changes done to the Araj encounter.
4508- The text for the Horde and Alliance versions of "Alas, Andorhal" now
4509  reflect the changes done to the Araj encounter.
4510- The Argent Dawn quest "The Active Agent" now offers a choice of
4511  rewards: Seal of the Dawn and Rune of the Dawn. Both may be used just
4512  like an Argent Dawn Commission.
4513- Players seeking to replace their Seal of the Dawn (or get a Rune of 
4514  the Dawn instead) once they've finished "The Active Agent" quest
4515  should speak with Betina Bigglezink in Eastern Plaguelands.
4516- The Seal of the Dawn is now unique, no longer has any cash value, and
4517  is no longer disenchantable.
4518- The level 5 quests had the ranged weapon removed from their reward
4519  options. This was done to make sure hunters upgrade their melee
4520  damage in the levels before obtaining a pet.
4521- Added text to the Test of Endurance quest to indicate you might need
4522  to bring some friends along.
4523- The amount of XP and Stormwind reputation has been increased for
4524  completing "Hilary's Necklace" quest.
4525- Torek in Ashenvale (the questgiver for Torek's Assault) is now PvP
4526  enabling.
4527- Important Blackrock Documents for the Horde quest, "Warlord's 
4528  Command," no longer despawn. They can still randomly spawn at one of
4529  four locations.
4530- Two new quests have been added to Thorium Point in the Searing Gorge
4531  for Thorium Brotherhood reputation turnin for players with neutral
4532  faction. You will now be able to turn in Iron and Heavy Leather to
4533  increase your reputation with the Brotherhood.

4535  who has already completed the quest should speak to Sagorne
4536  Creststrider in Orgrimmar to get their new reward.
4537- The Boulderslide Ravine quest in Stonetalon Mountains now more
4538  clearly points players to the Boulderslide Ravine.

4540  Avatar in the Sunken Temple) has been extended, and now offers a
4541  reward.
4542- Completing the initial Magram or Gelkis quest in Desolace now gives
4543  appropriate positive and negative reputation gains.
4544- The completion dialogue for the "A Rogue's Deal" quest has been
4545  clarified.
4546- All 8 versions of the "A Donation of Runecloth" quest have had their
4547  quest text clarified.
4548- Certain mobs and NPCs that erroneously had plus or minus reputation
4549  gains on kills for Horde or Alliance have been corrected.
4550- Various quest typos fixed. 
4551
4552Raids and Dungeons
4553- Characters will now receive an error when attempting to enter a raid
4554  dungeon if the reason they cannot enter is because they are not in a
4555  raid group.
4556- Fixed a bug that was preventing Rallying Cry of the Dragon Slayer to
4557  fire when Onyxia's head was turned in (assuming a head was not
4558  already up).
4559- You can now no longer avoid Onyxia's confuse effect by jumping or
4560  moving erratically.
4561- Death Knight Darkreaver in Scholomance shouldn't be so noisy anymore.
4562- The Ogre Tannin Basket in Dire Maul should stick around longer if
4563  someone opens it and does not initially loot the tannin from it.
4564- A few Molten Core bosses now drop Fiery or Lava Cores. 
4565
4566User Interface
4567- New "Dressing Room" Interface now available! If you control-left
4568  click on any item, item reference (vendors, quests) or item link
4569  (chat), a UI panel will appear showing your character wearing that
4570  item. You can then use the same command (control-left click) on
4571  additional items to add to the preview appearance. In addition, the
4572  Auction House now has a checkbox in the upper right-hand corner; if
4573  checked, any item you click on within the Auction House will
4574  automatically be previewed on your character.
4575- Need Before Greed and Group Loot options have been improved. The
4576  rolling window that appears when an item of the threshold and above
4577  is looted now has three buttons: a Need button (the dice), a Greed
4578  button (the coin), and a close button. Any players who select Need
4579  will get a chance to roll first for the item, with the high roller
4580  winning. If no one selects Need, all characters who selected Greed
4581  will then roll,with the highest roll winning the item. If everyone
4582  closes the window, the item becomes lootable by anyone in the group.
4583- You can now disable the slow scrolling of text when you are receiving
4584  a new quest.
4585- Opening the overhead map will now "ping" your location your map (to
4586  make it easier to notice your location when there are many friendlies
4587  nearby on the overhead map).
4588- The overhead map now displays a directional icon for your character.
4589- Spell effects that stack multiple times on a character will now
4590  display a number in the bottom corner indicating how many times the
4591  effect has stacked. For example, if a player has had the Sunder Armor
4592  ability used on them three times, the Sunder Armor effect icon will
4593  display a 3 in the corner.
4594- A confirmation dialog is now shown when you choose to make an Inn
4595  your home.
4596- The tooltip for spells like Seal of the Crusader correctly reflects
4597  the benefit of the spell, instead of occasionally being off by one.
4598- Using /random will now send the text to your party or raid wherever
4599  they are instead of the local area around the player that used
4600  /random.
4601- When in a raid group, the group you are in will now appear above your
4602  name next to your portrait.
4603- Mail recipient name completion now works with offline guild members
4604  even if you are not showing them in the guild UI.
4605- Guild ranks and player notes are now filtered by the profanity
4606  filter.
4607- The temporary mana cost reduction of Burst of Knowledge and similar
4608  effects is now reflected in tooltips.
4609- Quest rewards are now linked in chat like other items gained.
4610- You can auto-equip items while in flight by right clicking on them,
4611  as you would normally.
4612- Fixed bug preventing the Release Spirit dialog from showing if you
4613  die while jumping in lava.
4614- You can now use the Escape key to exit out of pop up dialogues.
4615- Fixed lua error when relinking poor and standard quality items from
4616  loot messages.
4617- Consumable items on the action bar will now always show the number
4618  remaining, even if there are none in your inventory.
4619- You can create the directory Interface\Icons, and any 32x32 .blp or
4620  .tga files you put in there will be available in the icon list for
4621  your macros.
4622- Pet spells in macros are now supported, both using /cast and using
4623  CastSpellByName().
4624- If you omit the rank of a spell in /cast or CastSpellByName(), it
4625  will use the highest rank of the spell which you know.
4626- While it will still be possible to override files in
4627  Interface/FrameXML, doing so is discouraged (and is likely to become
4628  impossible in a future release). Significant API additions are being
4629  made to eliminate the need for such direct FrameXML changes.
4630- You will now be able to list .lua files directly in the addon
4631  .toc file.
4632- The SetPoint() and SetAllPoints() script functions can take an actual
4633  frame instead of a frame name.
4634- TargetNearest* script functions will only work in response to a
4635  button click or a key binding, to discourage addons which scan the
4636  battlefield for targets.
4637- Addon-specific Saved Variables!
4638   Each addon's saved variables will be saved in the file
4639   WTF\Account\{accountname}\SavedVariables\{addonname}.lua, and will
4640   only be loaded when the addon is loaded.
4641     IMPORTANT: The first time you enter the game with this change, you
4642     must make sure all your addons are enabled, or their saved
4643     variables will be lost! If you accidentally do this once, you can
4644     recover by quitting the game, moving your backup SavedVariables.
4645     lua into place and restarting the game with addons enabled.
4646
4647- Addon Loading On Demand!
4648   If you add the following line to your addon's .toc file, it will not
4649   be loaded at the normal load time, it will instead be dynamically
4650   loaded upon request:
4651
4652            ## LoadOnDemand: 1
4653
4654            You can query to see if an addon is loaded by using the new
4655            IsAddOnLoaded("addonname") function, and you can load an
4656            addon dynamically using the LoadAddOn("addonname") function.
4657            This function returns true if the addon is loaded
4658            successfully, and can be safely and efficiently called even
4659            if the addon is already loaded.
4660
4661            For your convenience, the function
4662            UIParentLoadAddOn("addonname") is provided which will
4663            attempt to load the addon and pop up an error message if it
4664            failed to load for any reason.
4665
4666            Once an addon is loaded, the ADDON_LOADED event is sent,
4667            with arg1 set to the name of the addon. An addon can listen
4668            for that event, and when it recieves that event with it's
4669            own name, it can safely access its saved variables.
4670
4671            An important thing to note is that when an addon is loaded
4672            dynamically, it doesn't have access to any of the virtual
4673            frame templates that are defined by FrameXML, including
4674            font definitions.
4675
4676- New Scripting Functions
4677   debugprofilestart() - starts a timer for profiling during debugging.
4678   millis = debugprofilestop() - return the time in milliseconds since
4679   the last call to debugprofilestart() 
4680- New UI Element Member Functions
4681   handlerFunction = Frame:GetScript("handler") - (for handlers like
4682   "OnShow", "OnEnter", etc) which returns the current event handler
4683   for a frame.
4684   Frame:SetScript("handler", function) - sets the action/event handler
4685   for a frame (or removes it with a nil function)
4686   Frame:SetBackdrop(nil) / Frame:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "bgFile",
4687   edgeFile = "edgeFile", tile = false, tileSize = 0, edgeSize = 32,
4688   insets = { left = 0, right = 0, top = 0, bottom = 0 }}) (Note: This
4689   is a table argument)
4690   FontString:SetFont("font", size [, "flags"]).
4691   StatusBar:SetStatusBarTexture("file" [, "layer"])
4692   lines = ScrollingMessageFrame:GetMaxLines()
4693   ScrollingMessageFrame:SetMaxLines(lines)
4694   ScrollingMessageFrame:EnableFading([isEnabled]) (Defaults to true)
4695   ScrollingMessageFrame:SetFadeDuration(seconds)
4696   ScrollingMessageFrame:SetTimeVisible(seconds)
4697   ScrollingMessageFrame:Clear()
4698   lines = EditBox:GetHistoryLines()
4699   EditBox:SetHistoryLines(lines)
4700   EditBox:SetIgnoreArrows([isIgnored]) (Defaults to true)
4701   r,g,b,a = FontString:GetTextColor() 
4702   Frame:SetParent(nil, or "parent" or parentFrame)
4703   numChildren = Frame:GetNumChildren()
4704   child1, child2, child3, ... = Frame:GetChildren()
4705- Addon Saved Variables
4706   SavedVariables will no longer drop stored numbers to single 
4707   precision.
4708   Infinite/Nan values no longer cause corrupted SavedVariables.lua
4709   file.(Written as nils with comment) 
4710- Chat and Combat Logging
4711   The script functions ChatFrameLog() and ToggleCombatLogFileWrite()
4712   are obsolete.
4713   Added script function: isLogging=LoggingChat([newState]) (Returns
4714   new state (or current state if no argument))
4715   Added script function: isLogging=LoggingCombat([newState]) (Returns
4716   new state (or current state if no argument))
4717   New slash command /chatlog toggles chat logging (/combatlog toggles
4718   combat logging)
4719   The file for the chat log is Logs\WoWChatLog.txt and the file for
4720   the combat log is Logs\WoWCombatLog.txt
4721   Chat and combat log files will be appended to rather than
4722   overwritten.
4723   You now receive combat log messages and damage feedback when you are
4724   being attacked by creatures you can't see.
4725   If you call a tamed Deepmoss Hatchling, you are no longer notified
4726   that you hatched.
4727   Fixed disconnection caused by relinking an item in a different
4728   locale than that of your client.
4729   Looted items now always show their names in the appropriate quality
4730   color. 
4731   You now get combat feedback when you take damage from unseen
4732   opponents, like the Unseen in Raven Hill.
4733   Fixed damage display on the character sheet when you have Fury of
4734   the Frostwolf or Stormpike's Salvation.
4735
4736World Environment
4737- The Ranazjar Isle sub-area has been added off the northwest coast of
4738  Desolace. The Ranazjar Isle puzzle piece now properly pops when you
4739  venture there.
4740- Entering the zeppelin towers at Durotar and Grom'gol Base Camp no
4741  longer incorrectly flags you as being in the Valley of Strength.
4742- Argent Dawn, Timbermaw, Zandalar and Arathi Basin vendors now show
4743  you their entire inventory regardless of current reputation, allowing
4744  players to peruse their full range of wares. The items in question
4745  now require the appropriate reputation level to make use of them.
4746- Some of the ship and zeppelin paths have been modified.
4747- Gor'tesh and Grol the Destroyer should no longer stay in evade mode

4751- The Champion's Hall and the Hall of Legends have new load screens.

4753  intuitive quest flow: Storm Shadowhoof who was previously at

4755  Mau'ari who was previously in Orgrimmar has been moved to Everlook.

4763  cause the item to disappear, however.
4764- Pelturas Whitemoon's faction has been fixed; the NPC is now properly
4765  associated with Darnassus.
4766- Narm Faulk is now a part of the Ironforge Faction.

4790
4791 Raids & Dungeons

4794   close, preventing players from zoning out or joining an in-progress 
4795   battle.
4796   The Razorgore encounter has been changed slightly to make it less 
4797   "random". The spawning should be more consistent throughout the 
4798   fight.
4799   The timer for Vaelastrasz the Corrupt is now more persistent. You 
4800   can no longer reset the one-hour time limit for beating him by

4812  10.4 when trying to send an error report.

4817  bugs that would crash the game.

4820
4821
4822--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4823- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.6.0 (2005-07-12)
4824--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4825
4826Blackwing Lair Released!
4827  Nefarian's sanctum, Blackwing Lair, can be found at the very height
4828  of Blackrock Spire. It is there in the dark recesses of the 
4829  mountain's peak that Nefarian has begun to unfold the final stages of
4830  his plan to destroy Ragnaros once and for all and lead his army to 
4831  undisputed supremacy over all the races of Azeroth.  Blackwing Lair 
4832  is a max-level, 40-player raid dungeon, with many new encounters and 
4833  tempting rewards awaiting the intrepid adventurer that dares enter 
4834  its halls.
4835
4836Darkmoon Faire!
4837  A gathering of the exotic from around the world and beyond, Silas 
4838  Darkmoon has brought together the Darkmoon Faire as a celebration of
4839  the wondrous and mysterious found in Azeroth.  While the Faire spends
4840  most of their time in parts unknown, they do stop from time to time 
4841  in Mulgore and Elwynn forest.   When the faire is on its way barkers 
4842  will stop by Ogrimmar and Ironforge to announce its arrival.
4843
4844Battlemasters!
4845  There is a new way to enter the battleground queues.  Battlemasters!
4846  Located in some of the cities, right-clicking on a battlemaster will
4847  allow your character to enter a battleground queue just like you 
4848  normally would if you touched that battleground’s entrance portal.  
4849  The functionality is exactly the same, so when it’s your character’s
4850  time to enter the chosen battleground, you will be teleported 
4851  directly in.  Glordrum Steelbeard stands in the Hall of Arms in 
4852  Ironforge, serving as the Alliance battlemaster for Alterac Valley.  
4853  Aethalas of the Silverwing Sentinels stands ready in Darnassus, next
4854  to the warrior trainers, to send Alliance characters into Warsong 
4855  Gulch.  And in the Hall of the Brave, located in Orgrimmar’s Valley 
4856  of Honor, Brakgul Deathbringer serves as the Horde’s battlemaster 
4857  for Warsong Gulch, while Kartra Bloodsnarl will send you to bring 
4858  glory to the Horde in Alterac Valley. Guards in their respective 
4859  cities can give you directions on how to find them.
4860
4861General
4862- There is a new option upon the login screen.  If you click the 
4863  "Remember Name" checkbox on the left side of the screen, the game 
4864  will automatically fill in your account name when it starts up.
4865- Will of the Forsaken (Undead Racial) - duration of the lasting 
4866  immunity effect decreased to 5 seconds.
4867- Cannibalize (Undead Racial) - Regeneration increased to 35% of a
4868  character's total health over 10 seconds.
4869- Stoneform (Dwarf Racial) - can now be used to cancel self-inflicted 
4870  poison effects.
4871- Fist Weapons will now have the normal chance to parry that all 
4872  weapons use. 
4873- It will no longer be possible to swap any equipment while stunned.

5327World Environment
5328- Flight Paths
5329   Added a Wind Rider Master to Camp Taurajo in The Barrens. 
5330   New Horde Flight Paths -- 
5331    Camp Taurajo in The Barrens <-> Crossroads in The Barrens 
5332    Camp Taurajo in The Barrens <-> Thunder Bluff in Mulgore 
5333    Camp Taurajo in The Barrens <-> Freewind Post in Thousand Needles 
5334   Fixed several problems with the flight path from Undercity to 
5335   Hammerfall while passing through the Ruins of Andorhal. 
5336   Fixed some problems with the Ironforge to Stormwind flight path. 
5337   The Darkshire <-> Booty Bay flight paths no longer fly over the 
5338   Gurubashi Arena in Stranglethorn Vale, and therefore no longer 
5339   flag fliers as being in Free-for-All PvP. Also, they should no 
5340   longer fly through the zeppelins coming in and out of the Grom'Gol 
5341   Base Camp.
5342- Graveyards
5343   Feralas, Durotar, Mulgore, Darnassus, Tirisfal Glades (excluding
5344   the Bulwark graveyard), Elwynn Forest & the Eastern Plaguelands
5345   have now all been converted over to the new graveyard system.
5346   The system will place your character's spirit at the closest
5347   allowed graveyard in the zone. For example, an Alliance character
5348   dying closer to the new Darnassus graveyard, detailed below,
5349   will use that graveyard rather than the one located at Dolanaar. 
5350   Starting area graveyards are still reserved exclusively for 
5351   characters of similar faction that die within their confines.
5352   For example, the spirit of a Horde character dying right outside
5353   of Deathknell will not use Deathknell graveyard, but will instead
5354   go to the next closest Tirisfal Glades graveyard. 
5355   A Horde-only graveyard has been added in the northern section of 
5356   Durotar, just to the south of Orgrimmar.  In addition to serving 
5357   northern Durotar, Horde characters dying in Orgrimmar, The Hall
5358   of Legends and Ragefire Chasm will use this new graveyard.
5359   Alliance characters dying in Durotar will continue to only
5360   use the Razor Hill graveyard. 
5361   A Horde-only graveyard has been placed at the northern base of
5362   Thunder Bluff in Mulgore. Horde characters dying in Thunder Bluff
5363   will also use this new graveyard.  Alliance characters dying in
5364   Mulgore will continue to only use the graveyard at Bloodhoof
5365   Village. 
5366   An Alliance-only graveyard has been added at the eastern end of
5367   Darnassus.  Alliance characters dying in Darnassus will use this
5368   new graveyard.  Horde characters dying on Teldrassil will still
5369   only be able to use the graveyard at Dolanaar. 
5370   An Alliance-only graveyard has been added just outside of Ironforge,
5371   around the side of the mountain.  It is only for use by Alliance 
5372   characters that die inside Ironforge and in the Gates of Ironforge
5373   sub-area of Dun Morogh.  Horde characters dying therein will 
5374   continue to only use the Kharanos graveyard. 
5375   The Ruins of Lordaeron above Undercity now has a Horde-only 
5376   graveyard.  Horde characters dying inside the Undercity will use
5377   this new graveyard. Alliance characters will continue to solely use 
5378   the Faol's Rest graveyard. 
5379   A neutral graveyard has been added at the Eastvale Logging Camp
5380   in Elwynn Forest.  The graveyard at Goldshire is now for use by 
5381   the Alliance exclusively. Horde characters dying in Elwynn Forest
5382   and its sub-areas, as well as in Stormwind, The Stockade and the
5383   Deeprun Tram, will have their spirits travel to the new graveyard
5384   at the Eastvale Logging Camp.
5385   A neutral graveyard has been added on the island of Caer Darrow
5386   in Western Plaguelands.  It will serve characters who die on
5387   Caer Darrow and in Scholomance. 
5388   A neutral graveyard has been added in the Eastern Plaguelands 
5389   near the northwestern shore of Blackwood Lake.  Characters that 
5390   die in The Fungal Vale will continue to use the Darrowshire 
5391   graveyard due to the mountains between it and the new graveyard.
5392   Additionally, characters dying in Stratholme will now use the
5393   new Blackwood Lake graveyard. 
5394   A neutral graveyard has been added in Feralas, just to the 
5395   southwest of Dire Maul. Characters dying in Dire Maul will use
5396   this new graveyard.
5397- Darkmoon Cards have been seen dropping from high level Humanoids
5398  around the world. Collect a set of them and bring them to the 
5399  Darkmoon Faire when it is in town!
5400- Several NPCs that were not marked as Civilians are now correctly 
5401  labeled.

5403  faction is allied with the Alliance and is at war with the Horde. 
5404- High Elves now have their own distinct faction – "Silvermoon Remnant".
5405  This faction is allied with the Alliance and is at war with the Horde.
5406  Not all High Elves are a part of this faction. 
5407- Several NPCs around the world are now associated with the proper 
5408  faction.

5415  in Orgrimmar.

5424  to earth.
5425- The Barrens should now feel more alive.
5426- Sickly Gazelles now have a sickly look to them.

5432- An icon has been added at the Kalimdor continent map level for 
5433  Revantusk Village.

5445  the battlegrounds and causing a memory leak on PCs when they did.

5447  development.
5448
5449--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5457  Ashenvale (Alliance).  The Alterac Valley entrances may be found east 
5458  of Sofera's Naze in Alterac (Horde), and in the Headlands of Alterac

5460
5461General
5462- Wands - The Shoot Wand ability is now a toggle. While active, it will 
5463  continue attacking with the equipped wand until some other action is 
5464  taken (movement, spellcasting, item use, etc...).
5465- Pet speed has been increased when out of combat and following their 
5466  master.
5467- Berserking (Troll Racial) - Updated tooltip to clarify ability only 
5468  usable following a melee critical.

5470  ignore the additional resistance.

5472  players.
5473
5474PvP
5475- Honor system
5476   Dishonorable kills - gained by killing a trivial Civilian NPC - now 
5477   has a negative impact on a player's honor. Enough dishonorable kills 
5478   will reduce a player's rank all the way to zero.
5479   Players may now see an "estimated contribution point value" in the 
5480   combat log for an honorable kill.  Note that this value does not 
5481   take diminishing returns against the same player into account, and 
5482   is therefore "estimated".
5483   "Team Contribution Points" has been renamed to "Honor"
5484   Added tooltips to the different elements of the Honor System UI.
5485   Players will see their last week's kill data in the "Last Week" 
5486   section of the Honor System UI even if they did not achieve the 25 
5487   honorable kills required to gain standing or rank.
5488   Fixed a bug where the PvP trinket rewards were not always removing 
5489   the effects they were designed to remove (e.g. Polymorph, Fear, 
5490   Stun).
5491- Sitting characters will now stand up immediately after an attack, 
5492  even if stunned.
5493- Players can no longer swap inventory gear while dueling.
5494- Dueling is now allowed within Everlook.
5495
5496Hunters
5497- The Hunter Epic quest has had some of its Demonic Corrupters retuned. 
5498  It should also be noted that Hunters that attempt to bypass the 
5499  single player portion of the encounter by using another class to do 
5500  their tasks will fail the quest in a most glorious fashion.
5501- Tranquilizing Shot - Is now properly affected by Efficiency and Hawk 
5502  Eye talents.
5503- Unleashed Fury - Fixed a bug where the damage increase was lower than

5507- Volley - Damage increased.
5508- Pet speed has been increased when out of combat and following their

5514  properly revived, and players can no longer train more pets than 
5515  their stable can hold.
5516- Fixed a bug where magic shots were missing too frequently when used 
5517  on a target with Blessing of Protection active.

5530- Feedback - Casting a higher rank of the spell will now replace an 
5531  existing, lower level effect.

5534
5535Rogues
5536- Riposte - Fixed a bug where the ability was not usable against a 
5537  disarmed or unarmed target.
5538- Vanish - Should be a lot more responsive when used to avoid incoming 
5539  attacks.
5540
5541Shaman 
5542- Fixed a bug where Fire Nova, Flametongue, Stoneclaw and Windfury 
5543  Totems had incorrect level caps when cast by higher level shaman.

5545- Flametongue Totem - Tooltip updated to clarify that only the

5558  including Sacrifice) by 10/20/30%.
5559- Improved Succubus - Now increases Succubus spells by 10/20/30%.
5560- Master Summoner - In addition to decreasing casting time of summoning 
5561  the Imp, Voidwalker, Succubus and Felhunter, it now reduces mana cost 
5562  by 20/40%.
5563- Improved Enslave Demon - In addition to reducing the attack speed and 
5564  casting speed penalty of enslaved demons, it now reduces the resist 
5565  chance of Enslave Demon by 2/4/6/8/10%.
5566- Demonic Sacrifice - Is now instant cast.
5567- Improved Firestone - Now also improves the bonus Fire spell damage of

5570  before turning on its summoner.
5571- Drain Mana - Targets with no mana will no longer be valid for Drain 
5572  Mana (Rank 4), making it consistent with all other ranks of the spell.

5574  the Shadow Mastery talent.
5575- Conflagrate - Range increased.

5585  the last active pet or the previous pet was killed before the Warlock, 
5586  an Imp will be summoned.
5587- Improved Curse of Agony - Fixed a bug where Curse of Agony (rank 1) 
5588  was not improved by the talent.  The talent will now work properly 
5589  with all ranks of Curse of Agony.
5590

5593- Improved Cleave - Now increases damage bonus by 40/80/120%.

5596  critical strike.
5597- New Fury Talent: Dual Wield Specialization - Increases damage with 
5598  the off-hand weapon by 5/10/15/20/25%.  Note: the additional damage

5601  additional resistance.
5602- Enrage - Increased the number of charges to 12.  Decreased the 
5603  duration to 12 seconds.  The new duration is the limiting factor for 
5604  slower weapons (e.g. Arcanite Reaper will typically get one less 
5605  swing), while dual wielding and faster weapons will make better use 
5606  of all of the charges over the duration of the ability.
5607- Concussion Blow - Changed to an instant, stunning attack and removed 
5608  the damage portion.
5609- Shield Specialization - In addition to increasing % chance to block,

5621  appropriate level demonic and blue dragonkin monsters. It should be 
5622  noted that both Lord Kazzak and Azuregos will guarantee a drop of the

5738  the proper version of Oglethorpe's distress beacon.
5739- The end of the Paladin Epic Mount quest "Grimand's Finest Work" now 
5740  makes it clearer that Lord Shadowbreaker's acquisition of the 
5741  Arcanite Barding is only temporary.
5742- Jeziba in the Ruins of Andorhal now faces the correct direction when 
5743  pointing to his Catalogue of the Wayward.
5744- Fraggar Thundermantle now correctly tells you to return to him, and 
5745  not his evil, two-eyed twin, Frobe Thundermantle when completing the 
5746  Skull Rock Clean-up quest.
5747- The Branch of Cenarius no longer drops off of Prince Raze. It now 
5748  properly only drops off of Geltharis for the quest, The Branch of 
5749  Cenarius.
5750- Failed quests will now indicate (Failed) in the quest log so it is 
5751  easier to see them.
5752- Typos fixed in the Paladin Epic Mount quests.
5753
5754User Interface
5755- Innkeepers around the world now have a gossip option that lets you 
5756  join a meeting stone directly from the innkeeper rather than going to 
5757  the location of the meeting stone. Also these Innkeepers will now 
5758  have background lore about each of the dungeons.
5759- Levels Required for meeting stones have been increased. The intent is 
5760  that a group will not receive party members from a meeting stone that 
5761  don't really have a chance of completing the dungeon.
5762- Meeting Stones have had their rules for what players are grouped with 
5763  what other players relaxed. This means groups who use meeting stones 
5764  (or innkeepers) should have their groups formed much more quickly 
5765  than they were previously.
5766- Pets of other party members will now display in the party UI. You can 
5767  see pet health and harmful effects on the pet. You can turn this
5768  functionality on and off in the Interface Options menu.
5769- Players can now target other players in a raid by clicking on their 
5770  name in the raid window. Additional Raid UI improvements coming soon.
5771- Added visual effects for healing power and spell power enchantments.
5772- Your main action bar now displays the number of the bar that you are 
5773  currently displaying.
5774- In Master Looter mode, items are no longer opened up for looting by 
5775  all party members after the round-robin looter closes their loot 
5776  window. The Loot Master always distributes items over the loot 
5777  threshold.
5778- Rolling on items while charmed/hexed/etc. now works, as does /random 
5779  and receiving items from the master looter.
5780- When a player dies in an instance and then uses the spirit healer, 
5781  the body in the instance now turns to bones.
5782- Players can no longer mail or auction an item that they've just 
5783  disenchanted.
5784- When a ghost player is resurrected into an instance that has become 
5785  full, they no longer come to life wherever their ghost happens to be 
5786  standing. Instead, they get ported to the closest graveyard.
5787- Players must now bind a bind-on-equip bag to put in into a purchased 
5788  bank bag slot.
5789- Items split from stacks can now be dropped directly into (or onto) 
5790  bank bags without any mysterious error messages.
5791- Added a "Maximize" windowed video option which will maximize the game 
5792  window and remove the borders for a fullscreen experience which 
5793  allows popup windows.
5794- Trying to use a hearthstone, consumable, etc. while logging out now
5795  displays a more appropriate message: "Another action is in progress."
5796- The login interface files are now checked to make sure they haven't 
5797  been tampered with or corrupted. This is to improve account security 
5798  in public game rooms.
5799- Added the function TargetNearestPartyMember() to the UI scripting 
5800  system.
5801
5802World Environment
5803- The Thorium Brotherhood faction is now peaceful - players cannot go 
5804  to war with them.
5805- The Wildhammer Clan in the Hinterlands is now a peaceful faction to 
5806  the Alliance, meaning Alliance players cannot intentionally declare 
5807  war on them.
5808- A new graveyard has been added near the east coast of the Hinterlands 
5809  at the Overlook Cliffs.
5810- The two Hinterlands graveyards are now using a system that will 
5811  ensure that the spirits of dead characters go to the closest 
5812  graveyard.
5813- Buliwyf Stonehand, the dwarven weapon master in Ironforge, now 
5814  properly tells you about the weapons that Woo Ping can train you in, 
5815  instead of talking about himself. He does like going on about his 
5816  own martial prowess.
5817- Krinkle Goodsteel of Gadgetzan submitted a complaint to the local 
5818  Repairer's Union and has had his ability to repair durability 
5819  reinstated.
5820- Brave Wildrunner of Bloodhoof Village in Mulgore no longer patrols 
5821  through the kodo mounts.

5824- Discovering Valor's Rest now also pops the Southwind Village puzzle 
5825  piece on the Silithus area map.

5832- The Lazy Peons in The Valley of Trials now make a wood chopping sound 
5833  when they are hacking at the trees.
5834- The Dark Summoners of the Eastern Plaguelands have finally fully 
5835  materialized and are no longer ghostly in appearance.
5836- In Silverpine Forest on Fenris Island, moved a Rot Hide Plague 
5837  Weaver's spawn point from inside a tree.
5838- Neeka Bloodscar of Kargath no longer speaks as if she is in the

5880PvP Honor System 
5881  The Player versus Player Honor System is now active. Players will be 
5882  able to gain rankings based on their PvP performance, with lucrative 
5883  rewards for those who distinguish themselves on the field of battle! 
5884  Read more about the PvP Honor system. 
5885  
5886Children's Week 
5887  Children's Week is celebrated in Orgrimmar and Stormwind City at the 
5888  start of May and lasts for a week. It is a time to give back to the 
5889  innocents of war: the orphans! 
5890  
5891Gurubashi Arena event 
5892  There is now a regular event in Gurubashi Arena in Stranglethorn 
5893  Vale. Every three hours starting at midnight, a pirate with too 
5894  much treasure on his hands will drop a chest in the center of the 
5895  arena. Whoever can open the chest first gets the contents! Of course, 
5896  the arena is a PvP Free for All area, so there might be other players 
5897  who are trying to open it first... 
5898 
5899Elemental invasions! 
5900  Invasions by elementals at different locations on Kalimdor have 
5901  reportedly been occurring sporadically every few days. Concerned 
5902  adventurers should investigate Silithus, Un'Goro Crater, Azshara, 
5903  and Winterspring to counter these incursions. 
5904
5905General 
5906- Charm and Polymorph mechanics can now be reactively countered by 
5907  spells and abilities (e.g. Druid Shapeshifting will now cancel 
5908  Polymorph effects). 
5909- Mana regeneration is now disrupted when a spell has completed casting 
5910  rather than at the start of casting. It will resume normally five 
5911  seconds after the last spell cast. This change increases the total 
5912  time spent regenerating mana and therefore increases the total 
5913  contribution from Spirit for mana-based classes. 
5914- Level 60 mounts purchased at vendors now have a whole new look. 
5915  Faster undead mounts already have a different look and so have not 
5916  changed. The new mounts can be seen standing near the mount vendors. 
5917  If you have one of the old fast mounts, you can exchange it for one 
5918  with a new look at the mount vendor. 
5919- Healing-over-time spells should now be improved by "+Healing" items 
5920  when cast on other players. 
5921- Mind Controlled characters will no longer receive a durability 
5922  penalty when they die. 
5923- When a non-Hunter resurrects a pet, the pet will no longer receive 
5924  resurrection sickness. 
5925
5926PvP 
5927- A handful of spells were added to the list of spells subject to 
5928  diminishing returns in PvP. It is our goal to set as few spells as 
5929  possible to be diminished. We've identified this short list of spells
5930  as having durations and cooldowns sufficient to almost permanently 
5931  slow or immobilize targets but without adequate controls or other 
5932  limiting factors. When a spell with diminishing returns is used 
5933  against a target in PvP, the first effect has full duration. On the 
5934  second use of the same category of spell (e.g. slowing), that spell's 
5935  duration is reduced by 50%. On the third use, the duration is reduced 
5936  by 75%. On the fourth attempt, the target becomes immune to the 
5937  spell. Spells must be used on the same target within 15 seconds of the 
5938  *end* of the duration in order to be diminished. In other words, if a 
5939  target hasn't had a slowing spell active on them for more than 15 
5940  seconds, the next slowing spell will have full effect. The list of 
5941  affected spells is: 
5942    Frost Shock 
5943    Entangling Roots 
5944    Frost Nova 
5945- Guard directions, signs and signposts have been added to point you 
5946  toward the PvP Officer Lounges in Stormwind City (Champions' Hall) 
5947  and Orgrimmar (Hall of Legends). 
5948 
5949Racial Traits 
5950- Blood Fury - Now increases base melee attack power by 25% for 15 
5951  seconds. When it fades base melee attack power is reduced by 25% for 
5952  45 seconds. 
5953- Perception - Increased detection bonus. 
5954- Berserking - Is now usable after being the target of a critical hit. 
5955  Increases melee, ranged and spell casting speed by 25% but increases 
5956  all damage taken by 10% for the duration. 
5957 
5958Druids 
5959- Ravage and Shred now properly increase the attack power contribution 
5960  by the percent modifier. 
5961- Shapeshifting into an animal form will now remove Polymorph effects. 
5962- Feral Charge - Fixed a bug where the ability cost 10 rage instead of 
5963  five as intended. Should now cost five rage. 
5964- Entangling Roots - Now subject to diminishing returns in PvP. This is 
5965  considered an immobilizing effect. 
5966
5967Hunters 
5968- A new Hunter epic quest series is now in the game and waiting to be 
5969  found. 
5970- Scatter Shot (Talent) - Now usable while moving and no longer 
5971  interrupts ranged combat. Now properly reduces the ranged attack 
5972  power contribution by the percent modifier. 
5973- Highland Striders no longer have Cower (Rank 3) when tamed. 
5974- New Pet Ability: Dive - Increases movement speed for a short 
5975  duration. 
5976- New Pet Ability: Dash - Increases movement speed for a short duration. 
5977- Freezing Trap - Visual changed. 
5978- Track Hidden - Increased stealth detection. 
5979- Scorpid Sting - Fixed a bug where it was not considered a poison. It 
5980  can now be removed by poison curing effects. 
5981- Aspect of the Cheetah/Pack - These Aspects will now be canceled when 
5982  mounted. 
5983- Viper Sting - This spell can no longer be used on warrior and rogue 
5984  targets. In addition, while it can be used on a druid target at any 
5985  time it will only drain mana when the druid is in caster form. 
5986
5987Mages 
5988- Amplify Magic and Dampen Magic effects should now replace each other 
5989  properly. 
5990- Improved Scorch (Talent) - Redesign. Scorch spells have a 
5991  20/40/60/80/100% chance to cause your target to be vulnerable to Fire 
5992  damage. This vulnerability increases the Fire damage dealt to your 
5993  target by 2% and can be stacked up to 5 times for a total of 10% 
5994  increased Fire damage. 
5995- New Spell: Arcane Brilliance (available at level 56 - Loot) - Infuses 
5996  the target's party with brilliance, increasing their Intellect. 
5997- Improved Mana Shield - Design changed. Instead of increasing the 
5998  amount absorbed, it now decreases the mana lost per point of damage 
5999  taken by 10/20%. 
6000- An error message is now displayed if you try to use Blink on boats 
6001  and zeppelins. 
6002- Wand Specialization - Fixed a bug where the damage increase with this 
6003  talent was higher than the listed amount. 
6004- Frost Nova - Now subject to diminishing returns in PvP. This is 
6005  considered an immobilizing effect. 
6006- Pyroblast and Fireball damage over time will now stack together. 
6007
6008Paladins 
6009- Seal of Wisdom and Seal of Light should now replace each other 
6010  properly as well as stack properly when used by different paladins. 
6011- Paladin Epic Mount quest added. To begin, talk to the paladin 
6012  trainers Duthroian Rall or Brandur Ironhammer. 
6013- Paladins who have completed their Epic Mount quest can repeat the 
6014  final event in Scholomance for fun (and loot) by speaking with Lord 
6015  Grayson Shadowbreaker. 
6016- Sanctity Aura - Fixed a bug where the spell/talent was unlearned 
6017  after logging out if learned before level 40. 
6018- Resistance Auras - Paladins should now be able to switch from a 
6019  resistance aura to any other resistance aura without canceling the 
6020  current one first. 
6021- Improved Seal of Justice - Fixed a bug that caused the talent to 
6022  have no effect. It will now increase the frequency that the stun 
6023  effect will land. 
6024
6025Priests 
6026- A new Priest epic quest series is now in the game and waiting to 
6027  be found. 
6028- Levitate - Duration and mana cost increased. 
6029- Touch of Weakness - Should now be affected by the Blackout, Darkness, 
6030  Force of Will, Shadow Focus, Shadow Weaving and Silent Resolve 
6031  talents. 
6032- Starshards - Should now be affected by the Focused Casting, Force of
6033  Will, and Silent Resolve talents. 
6034- Holy Fire - Should now be affected by the Focused Casting talent. 
6035- Mind Flay - Should now be affected by the Focused Casting talent. 
6036- Desperate Prayer - Should now be affected by the Holy Specialization 
6037  talents. 
6038- Vampiric Embrace - Active icon tooltip rewritten to be more clear. 
6039- Holy Nova - Now causes an explosion of holy light around the caster, 
6040  causing Holy damage to all enemy targets within 10 yards and healing 
6041  all party members within 10 yards. These effects now cause no threat 
6042  as opposed to reducing threat temporarily. 
6043- Holy Fire - Several changes were made to Holy Fire in an effort to 
6044  make this a more usable and efficient damage spell. The cast time was 
6045  reduced from five seconds to four seconds, which reduces the damage 
6046  caused. Therefore, the damage was increased and more of the spell's 
6047  potency was shifted into the damage-over-time portion. The duration 
6048  was also increased and mana cost and cooldown were both decreased. 
6049  While the direct damage portion was reduced slightly from the 
6050  previous version, each tick of damage should be unchanged, and the 
6051  spell now delivers one additional tick of damage. In total, the 
6052  relative damage and efficiency of the spell has been increased. 
6053- Wand Specialization - Fixed a bug where the damage increase with this 
6054  talent was too high. 
6055
6056Rogues 
6057- Combo points will no longer be removed if the target is deselected. 
6058  They will only be removed if a different target is selected. 
6059- Fixed a bug where combo points were not always being applied to the 
6060  target when using Cheap Shot, Ambush and Garrote. 
6061- Vanish - Increased stealth bonus. 
6062- Ambush, Backstab, Ghostly Strike, and Riposte now properly increase 
6063  the attack power contribution by the percent modifier. 
6064- The Kick ability prevents the target from casting spells in the same 
6065  school when channeled casting is interrupted. 
6066- If using Gouge triggers the Stormshroud Armor lightning effect, the 
6067  Gouge effect will no longer be instantly interrupted. 
6068- The Rogue trainers will now point the player to an appropriate area 
6069  with boxes to unlock depending on the lockpicking skill of the player. 
6070- Preparation - Will now clear the cooldown of the Blade Flurry ability. 
6071- Riposte - Fixed a bug that prevented the ability from being used when 
6072  the target had no weapon or was already disarmed. 
6073 
6074Shaman 
6075- Earth Shock - The visual for ranks two through seven has been changed 
6076  to be consistent with rank one. 
6077- Windfury - Fixed a bug that caused an additional attack beyond what 
6078  was intended. In addition, fixed a bug that caused the next normal 
6079  melee attack to happen sooner than intended. 
6080- Level 58+ Shaman should talk to Sagorne Creststrider in Orgrimmar; 
6081  there is a special quest for them involving a dreaded death knight 
6082  who dwells in the depths of the Scholomance. 
6083- Frost Shock - Now subject to diminishing returns in PvP. This is 
6084  considered a slowing effect. 
6085- Grounding Totem - Should no longer redirect area effect spells or 
6086  be destroyed by area effects spells. 
6087 
6088Warlocks 
6089- Warlock Epic Mount quest added. To begin, speak with a demon trainer 
6090  in any of the capital cities: Kurgal, Martha Strain, Spackle 
6091  Thornberry, or Jubahl Corpseeker. 
6092- The Warlock Infernal quest is now available and can be found in 
6093  Felwood. 
6094- The Warlock Ritual of Doom quest is now available and can be found in
6095  the Tainted Scar.

6098- Seduction (Succubus) - Is now considered a Fear effect for purposes 
6099  of diminishing returns.

6108  Dreadmist Mask, Wildheart Cowl and Pauldrons, and Coif of Elements. 
6109  Other class sets will receive updated art in future patches. 
6110- Random world items that had increased healing effects were 
6111  mislabeled, and the amount of increased healing appeared to be half 
6112  of what was actually occurring. The amount shown on the item is now 
6113  an accurate representation of the healing increase. 
6114- The Celestial Orb and Robe of the Archmage will no longer trigger 
6115  the cooldowns of a Mage's mana gems. Mana gems are now on their own 
6116  unique cooldown category.

6118  name of the creature summoned. 
6119- Fixed a typo in the aura description for the Mighty Rage potion.

6121  effectiveness to make them more attractive to players. Effects that 
6122  increased damage and healing done by all magical spells received the 
6123  largest increase, especially if the previous amount was small. We 
6124  also fixed a couple bugs relating to these effects.

6177- Minor Recombobulator now restores health and mana as well as removing

6198  unpossessed will now have full health, and after the Baroness 
6199  unpossesses a player there will be a much longer cooldown before she 
6200  can cast possess again. These changes should make her a more balanced 
6201  encounter for a 5 man group. 
6202- Lava Surgers no longer respawn once you kill Garr. 
6203- When Majordomo Executus submits, a chest is spawned next to him. This

6206  should spawn.

6223     have all received some new items on their loot tables. 
6224   * Onyxia will once again drop two upper tier class set helms. 
6225   * Most of the non-class set items that dropped from Molten Core and 
6226     Onyxia have had their effective levels increased, resulting in 
6227     higher DPS weapons, and/or better stats and effects. 
6228   * Players who defeat the Majordomo Executus encounter will now be 
6229     rewarded with new epic items. This reward will only be granted the 
6230     first time the encounter is defeated during the 6 day lifespan of 
6231     a Molten Core instance. 
6232   * The loot tables for some of the Molten Core bosses have been 
6233     improved so they drop an additional epic item per kill. 
6234   * World bosses such as Onyxia, Azuregos, and Lord Kazzak will no 
6235     longer drop random blue items of a level lower than 50. 
6236   * Prior to this patch, Molten Core boss creatures could drop items 
6237     from one of two different tiered sets for every character class. 
6238     The loot tables have been changed so Molten Core bosses will now 
6239     only drop items from the lower tier class sets. However, some of 
6240     the items from those sets were not previously dropping in Molten 
6241     Core. These missing class set items will now drop in Molten Core, 
6242     allowing players to complete their lower tier class sets. The 
6243     higher tier class set pieces that once dropped in Molten Core will 
6244     be found once again in Blackwing Lair, the next raiding zone 
6245     scheduled for release in a future patch. 
6246   * Future patches will include even more item rewards for these raid 
6247     encounters, as well as improvements to the statistics, effects, 
6248     and set bonuses for both tiers of the raid armor sets. 
6249

6252  quest that multiple party members have, it will display a mouseover 
6253  tooltip indicating what nearby party member are on that quest. Also,

6256  have that quest.

6300  mouseover on objects underneath the interface window (Thus making it

6302  things). 
6303

6440  functionality in a future patch.
6441- New code optimizations were added to improve frame rate and reduce
6442  memory usage.
6443
6444--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6446--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6447

6451
6452--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6453- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.3.0 (2005-03-22)
6454--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6455
6456Diremaul
6457  Diremaul, a new dungeon for players level 56-60, is now open and
6458  ready for business. Diremaul is populated by a fierce tribe of ogres
6459  and is located in the western region of Feralas. Diremaul will be
6460  limited groups of no more than five players each.
6461 
6462New Outdoor Raid Bosses
6463  Two new outdoor raid bosses have been introduced to Azeroth. 
6464  Azuregos, a monstrous blue dragon, has landed in Azshara, while
6465  Lord Kazzak the demon can be found in the Tainted Scar of the Blasted
6466  Lands. 
6467 
6468Meeting Stones
6469  Meeting Stones are located outside of each dungeon to help players 
6470  find a group to adventure with in the dungeon. The meeting stone will 
6471  try to find you a viable five-person group by looking for a tank, a 
6472  healer, and so on. As time passes and you are unable to find a group, 
6473  the meeting stone will become less picky about who it groups you with.
6474
6475Dungeon Player Caps
6476  All dungeons now have a cap on group size to limit the number of 
6477  players that may enter the dungeon. It was necessary to add this cap
6478  as raiding these dungeons trivialized much of the content. Because of
6479  this change we can now look to adding better loot to them during future
6480  content patches.
6481
6482  With that in mind, the dungeons below now have the following caps:
6483  Onyxia/Molten Core - 40 members
6484  Blackrock Spire - 15 members
6485  Diremaul -  5 members
6486  All other dungeons in the game will be capped at 10 members.
6487  Several dungeons will be re-examined for balancing in light of this
6488  change.  In addition, will have their loot improved significatnly for
6489  the next content patch.
6490
6491 General
6492- Previously, in many cases, a Block, Parry, or Dodge was translated 
6493  into a "Miss," thus causing confusion over actual miss rates.  We've 
6494  made the following changes in an attempt to be more clear as to what 
6495  is  actually happening in combat:
6496   * Block: All creatures will now report a Block on attacks from the 
6497     front, reducing damage caused instead of converting the attack into
6498     a "Miss." Creatures will no longer be able to Block attacks from 
6499     behind.
6500   * Dodge: Every time a creature Dodges, it will report a Dodge. We 
6501     will no longer translate a creature's Dodge of a rear attack to a 
6502     "Miss."
6503   * Parry:  All creatures will now report a Parry on attacks from the 
6504     front instead of translating them into a "Miss." Creatures will no 
6505     longer be able to Parry attacks from behind.  
6506- Blocking an ability that takes place on the next swing now blocks the
6507  normal amount of damage instead of all of it.
6508- Skill-up rate improved for bows, crossbows, guns, thrown, and wands.
6509- Improved line of sight for large creatures.
6510- In-game mail sent from GMs will now use official Blizzard stationery.
6511- The Drunk effect has been greatly enhanced.
6512- If you resurrect without releasing your spirit, your resurrection 
6513  timer will decrease normally.
6514- You can no longer accept a warlock summoning while you are in combat.
6515- Increased stun resistance will now also help resist some non-melee 
6516  based stun spells from creatures.
6517- Mounts now are Horde or Alliance restricted in the tooltip. We do 
6518  not intend to allow Horde players to ride Alliance vendor-purchased 
6519  mounts and vice versa.
6520
6521 PvP
6522- Most humanoids NPCs have gained the ability to swim.
6523- Numbers and punctuation will not be passed through chat communication 
6524  to members of the opposing faction.
6525- Spells in PvP now have a slight increase in range and area of effect 
6526  when targets are moving. This should improve the overall usability of 
6527  spells and ranged attacks.
6528- Priests can no longer kill players with Shadow Word: Pain and Mind 
6529  Control in duels.
6530- Certain key NPCs (such as bankers and auctioneers) in the cities and
6531  main outposts are now harder to kill. Additionally, when they die, 
6532  they will respawn more quickly.
6533- Patrolling scouts that can see through stealth and invisibility have 
6534  been added to both Orgrimmar and Ironforge.
6535- Players under Mind Control pass reputation changes due to kills to 
6536  the controlling player, and do not receive the reputation
6537  changes themselves.
6538- You cannot see your enemies' buffs while you are charmed.
6539- Dueling players can now cast helpful spells on their allies 
6540  (but not vice versa).
6541

6543- Training costs adjusted. Total training cost was decreased.
6544- Rebirth - Casting time and mana cost reduced; now ignores 
6545  resurrection timers.

6553  extra point of energy into additional damage.
6554- New Spell: Barkskin (available at level 44) - The druid's skin 
6555  becomes as tough as bark.  Physical damage taken is reduced. While 
6556  protected, taking damage will not cause spellcasting delays, but 
6557  non-instant spells take longer to cast and melee combat is slowed.
6558- New Ability (Bear Form): Frenzied Regeneration (available at level 
6559  36) - Converts an amount of rage into health every second for a 
6560  short duration.

6565- Fixed a bug where Hunter pets were sometimes unattackable by opposing 
6566  faction players.

6568  after being tamed.  This was unintentional and the fix will affect 
6569  all existing pets.
6570- Distracting Shot - Is now properly improved by the Efficiency and 
6571  Hawk Eye talents.
6572- You can no longer use Eyes of the Beast to leave a flight path.
6573
6574 Mage
6575- Training costs adjusted. Total training cost was decreased.
6576- Improved Blizzard - Chill duration reduced to 1.5 seconds (4.5 
6577  seconds w/ Permafrost) and refreshes with each damage tick rather 
6578  than at the beginning of the spell. In addition, a target that 
6579  resists the damage will also resist the chill effect.
6580- Blink - Using this spell should no longer cause you to fall through 
6581  the world.
6582- Blink can now be used to escape more of the stun effects used by 
6583  creatures in the world.
6584- Blink is no longer useable on boats or zeppelins.
6585- Blast Wave damage radius fixed so damage properly extends to 10 yd.
6586- Dampen Magic - Duration and mana cost increased. Now castable on all 
6587  raid targets.

6615  These areas are in place for rogues to visit to increase their 
6616  lockpicking skills. The contents of these footlockers are only token 
6617  amounts of treasure, but they should allow for a more interesting 
6618  experience while increasing lockpicking skill. The difficulty of the 
6619  locks in the area correspond to the level of the zone, so if your 
6620  lockpicking skill is around 100, you would go to Durnholde Keep in

6665  have been updated to accurately reflect this change.
6666- Ritual of Doom - The death caused at the completion of the ritual no 
6667  longer causes durability loss.

7128  uses a /say or /yell chat command, it is displayed in the game screen 
7129  by default as a chat bubble as well as in the chat log. It displays 
7130  above the head of the character talking, but only if you can see the 
7131  character. This functionality can be turned off should you desire.

7158  yards around you. It no longer only hits targets off to your left.
7159- When you are using group loot or need before greed looting systems 
7160  and are looting a bind on pick up item, the "This item will bind to 
7161  you" yes/no dialog box pops up after you click the "roll dice" 
7162  button, but before it accepts your roll.

7177  inviting players into groups.

7190  that it can't find a path to.

7192  turning.  
7193- Riding Kodos have new icons for when you are mounted.
7194- NPC chat log color changed to light yellow by default instead of gray, 
7195  which was not very readable.
7196- If you have files in the Interface\FrameXML folder, they will be 
7197  moved to Interface\FrameXML.old after a patch.  
7198- After the game is patched, you will be prompted to disable addons 
7199  that are out of date.  
7200- Added IsMovable(), SetMovable(), IsResizable(), SetResizable() member 
7201  functions to frames in the scripting system.  
7202- Added the "pcall" and "xpcall" functions to the UI scripting system.
7203- The .toc file for addons supports a new keyword: "DefaultState," 
7204  which can be enabled or disabled, and specifies whether or not an 
7205  addon is enabled or disabled by default when first installed.
7206 
7207 World Environment
7208- The bridges in northern Stranglethorn Vale are now fixed so they will 
7209  not dismount you when you ride across them.
7210- The names of many more points of interest have been added to various
7211  area maps.

7223  will be able to resurrect.
7224- The Argent Dawn base at the southern edge of the Western Plaguelands

7226- Quartermaster Miranda Breechlock in Eastern Plaguelands is now in a

7231  durability repair services.
7232- Reagent Vendors have been added to Feathermoon Stronghold and Camp

7256  points instead of one.
7257- You can no longer disenchant an item while you have the disenchant 
7258  loot window open for another item, which caused you to lose the 
7259  original item and its loot.

7261- Fixed bug where melee weapon abilities were causing durability 
7262  damage to ranged weapons.
7263- Fixed a bug where abilities that give extra attacks, like the paladin
7264  Reckoning talent, could cause the following swing to take longer than 
7265  it should.
7266- Fixed a bug where instant melee attacks were not blockable.
7267- Fixed a bug where "On Next Swing" melee attacks (e.g. Heroic Strike)
7268  that were blocked were fully blocked instead of having their damage 
7269  reduced by the block amount.
7270- Fixed a bug where off-hand attacks were being skipped when using 
7271  "On Next Swing" melee attacks.
7272- Fixed a bug where Ammo Pouch and Quiver bonuses were stacking 
7273  together.  Now only the better bonus should be considered.
7274- Fixed a bug where Quivers and Ammo Pouches were granting a larger 
7275  haste bonus than intended in some cases.

7307- Removed unnecessary happiness icon for warlock pets

7323

7325- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.2.4 (2005-02-22)
7326--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7327 
7328- We have deployed a client-side change that should improve 
7329  performance when large numbers of players are gathered in a small 
7330  area of the world. No other changes are included with this emergency 
7331  patch.
7332
7333--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7334- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.2.3 (2005-02-15)
7335--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7336
7337  PvP Duels
7338  Dueling across factions remains intact in the patch, in consideration
7339  of players' desires to duel members of the opposing faction.
7340  
7341  *This is a minor patch to address localization issues discovered 
7342  during the European beta test. These changes affect localized text 
7343  strings for French and German versions of the game only, and players 
7344  in other regions will not see any changes to the game.
7345
7346--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7347- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.2.2 (2005-02-15)
7348--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7349  
7350  Paladin
7351  Seal of the Crusader: Fixed a bug where damage per swing was 
7352  increasing instead of decreasing when Seal of the Crusader was active.
7353  This resulted in a dramatic increase in damage per second (DPS) that 
7354  was unintended.  The tooltip for the spell displays the intent of 
7355  the spell:
7356
7357  "Fills the Paladin with the spirit of a crusader, granting additional 
7358  attack power.  The Paladin also attacks faster, but deals less damage 
7359  with each attack."
7360
7361  The overall increase in DPS from Seal of the Crusader should only 
7362  result from the increase in attack power and not from the increase in 
7363  attack speed.  We understand this is a significant decrease in the 
7364  power of this spell, but was a necessary bug fix to ensure both 
7365  overall game balance and the viability of different Paladin Seals.
7366
7367
7368  Localization
7369- Various text strings and audio have been corrected for the French and
7370  German versions of the game.
7371
7372  Macs
7373- Fixed a bug that incorrectly enabled the vertex animation shader 
7374  option on some GPU's that do not support it. This bug was causing 
7375  player character models in-game and in the character selection screen 
7376  to appear invisible or distorted.  The fix should benefit users with 
7377  NVIDIA GeForce 2MX or 4MX GPU's and ATI Radeon 7000/7500 GPU's.  It 
7378  should no longer be necessary to manually turn off the vertex 
7379  animation feature on these systems - it should now be off and 
7380  disabled automatically.
7381
7382  Bug Fixes
7383- Group loot has been fixed to work as originally intended. It will now
7384  work exactly like round robin does, with the exception that when an 
7385  item of threshold level or above drops, it will use the auto-rolling 
7386  system. (Prior to this fix, when in group loot mode, the round robin 
7387  system was only being used for items (all players could loot coins), 
7388  which was rather confusing).
7389- Fixed a group loot permission bug that was telling players they did 
7390  not have permission to loot.
7391- Fixed a bug that was causing the game to freeze when scrolling 
7392  through auctions in the Auction House.
7393- Murlocs play the drown animation when they die underwater now.
7394- Onyxia correctly hovers instead of standing in midair.
7395- You can target vocal emotes again.
7396- Pets and summoned creatures attacking enemies will now tap the 
7397  enemies for their owners.
7398- Fixed a bug with Troll Shamans and the Berserk ability. Troll Shamans 
7399  can only go Berserk when they are in the wounded state.
7400- Rogues now correctly gain Lockpicking skill from items picked in the 
7401  trade window.
7402- Quests that require you to follow/escort an NPC will only complete 
7403  when you arrive at the designated area.
7404- Horde and Alliance members cannot duel with each other regardless of 
7405  realm type.
7406- Herbs and mineral nodes will remain active if they are not fully 
7407  emptied.
7408- Fixed a bug that was giving higher damage-per-second (DPS) to 
7409  Steelarrow Crossbow and Blackcrow than was intended.
7410- Sell prices on Hypnotic Blade, Illusionary Rod, Mantle of Doan, and 
7411  Robe of Doan have been lowered.
7412- Players who have completed the quest to summon Kirtonos may now 
7413  obtain the Blood of Innocents from Doctor Theolen Krastinov.
7414- The tooltip for the Warrior's Intercept ability has been updated to 
7415  reflect the proper rage cost. Using Intercept now requires 10 rage, 
7416  not 15 rage. The tooltip now accurately reflects that.

7437
7438 New Dungeon - Maraudon
7439  In the vast gray of Desolace lies the earthen tomb of Zaetar, fallen 
7440  Keeper of the Grove and son of Cenarius.  Zaetar rejected his Keeper 
7441  heritage when he joined with the princess of the chaotic earth 
7442  elementals, Theradras. Their unholy union gave birth to the misshapen 
7443  and cursed centaur, who promptly slew their father for his part in 
7444  their misbegotten creation. Fearful of Cenarius' wrath, the 
7445  grief-stricken Theradras sequestered her dead lover's body in her 
7446  secret sanctuary, the Crystal Caverns of Therramok, where she watches 
7447  over him to this day. Travelers who come to Desolace have little 
7448  trouble spotting Zaetar's tomb, for the blessing of nature that 
7449  permeates his being transformed his resting place into a verdant

7936 New Kodo mounts!
7937  There is but one creature in all of Kalimdor that possesses the 
7938  strength and stamina to bear a tauren rider into battle: the 
7939  majestic kodo beast. Swifter and slightly smaller than their 
7940  wild cousins, kodo mounts nevertheless demonstrate the same 
7941  resilience and fearlessness found in their untamed brethren, traits 
7942  that serve them well when bearing their equally resolute riders. It 
7943  is said that only the most virtuous of tauren can win the affection 
7944  of a kodo war mount, for these mighty beasts only serve those that 
7945  approach them with honor and respect in 
7946  their hearts.
7947

7953  purchasing mounts from different races regarding of reputation, this 
7954  bug will be addressed in the next patch.
