93- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.12.0 (2006-08-22)
94--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

96Drums of War
97
98Cross-Realm Battlegrounds
99-  For the first time in the history of World of Warcraft, you will be
100   able to face off against players from other realms in the
101   Battlegrounds. PvP Battlegrounds link Alterac Valley, Warsong Gulch,
102   and Arathi Basin so that players from several realms will be
103   combined into one huge matchmaking pool. Replenish your mana,
104   sharpen your blades, and get ready for some brand-new challengers!
105
106World PvP
107-  The stage is set for intense, objective-based land battles as Horde
108   and Alliance vie for control over important strategic positions and
109   resources around Azeroth. Head out for Silithus and Eastern
110   Plaguelands to engage the enemy on the field!
111
112General
113-  Threat Reduction Effects
114   This system has been redesigned to eliminate inconsistency in how
115   the effects work. Previously, some were additive (for example: 30%
116   reduction + 20% reduction = 50% reduction) while others were
117   multiplicative (30% reduction and 20% reduction made 44% reduction,
118   from 0.7*0.8). They are now all multiplicative. This also prevents
119   unpredictable behavior when the total reduction percentage was equal
120   to or greater than 100%. Please note that in almost all cases, when
121   stacking multiple threat reduction effects you will experience less
122   threat reduction than previously.
123-  Haste and Slow effects
124   Previously Haste and Slow effects worked inconsistently, with spells
125   working differently from weapons, and hastes and slows not acting as
126   inverses of each other. We have revised the system so that all haste
127   and slow effects work the same way, and haste and slow percentages
128   of the same magnitude perfectly cancel each other out (30% haste and
129   30% slow combine to no change). As a result, we had to change the
130   tooltip numbers on all spell haste effects, and on all melee and
131   range slow effects. The numbers in the tooltips are different, but
132   the game functionality is unchanged (other than slight rounding
133   errors). Those tooltips that changed will now display larger numbers
134   than they used to display. Conceptually, haste values indicate how
135   much more of that activity you can perform in a given time. 30%
136   melee haste means 30% more swings in a given time. Slow values
137   indicate how much longer an activity takes to complete. 30% slow
138   means an action takes 30% longer to finish.
139-  The deserter debuff will now continue to expire even while you are
140   offline.
141-  Honorable Kills now diminish at a rate 10% per kill rather than 25%
142   per kill.
143-  Temporary item buffs (e.g. poisons, sharpening stones and shaman 
144   weapon buffs) will no longer persist through zoning or logging out
145   due to technical issues.  This feature is anticipated to be 
146   activated once more with the expansion.
147
148Druids
149-  Barkskin: The tooltip has been changed to 25% due to the haste effect
150   change.

152-  Ferocious Bite: Book of Ferocious Bite (Rank 5) now drops off The
153   Beast in Black Rock Spire. In addition, Ferocious Bite now increases
154   in potency with greater attack power.
155-  Furor: This talent now works correctly with Cat Form again.
156-  Improved Shred: The discounted cost for Shred will now be displayed

164-  Spirit Bond: This ability will now be correctly reapplied when you
165   resurrect in a battleground and your pet is polymorphed or otherwise
166   unable to act normally.
167-  Improved Concussive Shot: The effect of this talent will now still
168   be placed on the victim if the hunter is killed before their shot
169   reaches the target.
170-  Growl now correctly initiates combat when used by a pet in passive
171   mode.
172-  The Ferocity talent now correctly applies to non-physical hunter pet

174-  If a hunter has tamed one of the following creature types, they will
175   no longer potentially change colors if resummoned:

178   Deep Stinger - Red
179   Dark Screecher - Gray

197-  Impact: The effect of this talent will now still be placed on the
198   victim if the caster is killed before their spell reaches the target.
199-  Frostbite: The effect of this talent will now still be placed on the
200   victim if the caster is killed before their spell reaches the target.
201-  Polymorph: This spell will now be removed when a player leaves a

205-  Reduced the number of messages that appear in the combat log when
206   using Combustion.

222

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

253-  Chain Heal - After the initial target is healed, the healing effect
254   will jump to the most damaged target (by absolute health) within
255   range. In addition, if a raid member is the initial target it will
256   look for valid raid targets to jump to rather than non-raid targets
257   as a priority, making it consistent with group targeted Chain Heals.
258-  Lightning Shield: Air Bubble pockets in underwater regions will no
259   longer consume a charge from this spell.
260
261Warlocks
262-  Cripple (Doomguard): Due to haste effect change, the tooltip has

282   and mana gained will increase by 80% of your bonus spell damage
283   effects.  Talents and items can further modify those values.  Rank
284   1 and 2 receive reduced effect.
285
286Warriors
287-  Bloodthirst: This ability will now correctly benefit from attack
288   power bonuses versus specific creature types.

292   one beneficial effect from the target.

298   which was preventing it from benefiting healing spells.

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

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

341-  Clarified the tooltips for the Stormshroud armor and Kalimdor's

355   what it currently is.

357   damage.
358-  Goblin Land Mines and Compact Harvest Reapers will no longer lock
359   out using other engineering devices until the land mine/reaper dies.
360   Harvest Reaper was given a 10 min self cooldown to prevent too many
361   reapers from being summoned at once.
362
363Raids and Dungeons
364-  Uldaman
365   Reduced the number of Shadowforge Ambushers that attack after
366   looting the quest chest.
367   Shadowforge Ambushers are no longer elite.
368   The respawn of the Stone Stewards has been changed to 2 hours
369   (from 30 minutes).
370-  Zul'Farrak
371   The respawn of the 2 Troll/1 Basilisk patrollers should now be 2
372   hours.
373   Reduced the damage dealt by the Sul'lithuz Abomination and
374   Sul'lithuz Sandcrawler.

388   Noxxious Scions will no longer spawn when you cleanse Celebrian
389   Vines.
390-  Ahn'Qiraj
391   Lieutenant General Andronov's Aura of Command should no longer 
392   generate threat. This will hopefully prevent him from pulling aggro
393   on the entire wave, leading to his untimely death.
394   Hive'Zara Hatchlings can now swim.
395   Egg Explosion will no longer burn charges from spells such as 
396   Lightning Shield.
397   It should no longer be possible for Emperor Vek'lor and Vek'nilash
398   to Unbalancing Strike or Arcane Burst immediately after a teleport.
399   
400User Interface
401-  V key functionality has been improved in several ways.
402   V key now shows summoned monsters (such as the gargoyles in
403   Stratholme.)
404   V key now shows both monsters and player enemies.
405   V now shows enemies only (no longer shows friendly targets.)
406   Shift-V now shows friendly targets only, not enemies (with a new
407   bindable hotkey.)
408   Control-V shows both friendly targets and enemy targets (with a new
409   bindable hotkey.)
410-  New floating combat text has been added to the game with a number of
411   options. You can see when you take damage, when you are healed and
412   how much, when you acquire and lose auras and much more. You can
413   turn on the new options in the newly revised options screen.
414-  There is now an option to turn on the display of your own name above
415   your head. You can find the option in the interface options screen.
416-  The Need Before Greed and Group Loot countdown timers will now have a
417   3 minute countdown when there is a bind on acquire item on the
418   corpse. This should allow a bit more time in making a decision to
419   roll for an item.
420-  Automatic Quest Tracking has been added to the game and is turned on
421   by default. Any time you advance a quest by advancing one of the
422   requirements, the quest information will appear on your screen for
423   5 minutes before fading. You can turn this option off from the
424   options screen.
425-  The options screen has be redone and expanded due to space required
426   for additional options. Also the location of various options has
427   been changed in the options screen. They should make more sense now,
428   though they will not be in quite the place you remember them being.
429-  There is now a confirmation dialogue when you attempt to disband
430   your guild.
431-  When you destroy a superior quality (blue) or better item, you will

438   or guild, using SendAddonMessage("prefix", "message", "PARTY"|"RAID"
439   |"GUILD"|"BATTLEGROUND"). When players receive these messages, a new
440   event "CHAT_MSG_ADDON" is sent, with arg1-arg3 being the parameters
441   to SendAddonMessage(), and arg4 being the name of the player that
442   sent it. The combined length of "prefix" and "message" must be less
443   than or equal to 254 bytes.
444   Added UnitPlayerOrPetInParty() and UnitPlayerOrPetInRaid().
445
446Bug Fixes
447-  Fixed a bug that caused some non-combat pets to be referred to as
448   Minions instead of Pets. Mini Diablo however has escaped this fate

451   cooldown on the Gnomish Cloaking Device.

602--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
603- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.11.0 (2006-06-20)
604--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
605
606Shadow of the Necropolis
607  Floating above the Plaguelands, the necropolis known as Naxxramas 
608  serves as the seat of one of the Lich King's most powerful officers, 
609  the dreaded lich Kel'Thuzad. Horrors of the past and new terrors yet 
610  to be unleashed are gathering inside the necropolis as the Lich 
611  King's servants prepare their assault. The Scourge marches again...
612  Naxxramas is the new 40-man raid dungeon that will present even the 
613  most experienced and powerful players with an epic challenge. 
614
615General
616- The cost to unlearn talents will now decay over time. This cost will 
617  be reduced by a rate of 5 gold per month to a minimum of 10 gold.
618- Logging back in after a disconnect from the server has been greatly 
619  improved, and players should now rarely receive the message "A 
620  character with that name already exists."
621- Fear: The calculations to determine if Fear effects should break due 
622  to receiving damage have been changed. The old calculation used the 
623  base damage of the ability. The new calculation uses the final amount 
624  of damage dealt, after all modifiers. In addition, the chance for a 
625  damage over time spell to break Fear is now significantly lower. Note 
626  that Fear continues to be roughly three times as likely to break on 
627  player targets as on non-player targets. In addition, Intimidating 
628  Shout now follows that player versus non-player distinction, while 
629  previously it did not.
630- Periodic Healing: Spells which do periodic healing will now have 
631  their strength determined at the moment they are cast. Changing the 
632  amount of bonus healing you have during the duration of the periodic 
633  spell will have no impact on how much it heals for.
634- Reflection: Effects which cause reflection will no longer reflect 
635  triggered effects separately from their base effects (e.g. Impact, 
636  Improved Shadow Bolt, Aftermath, etc.)
637- Spell and Item Auras with Charges: These auras will now correctly 
638  remember their number of charges when you enter or leave an instance, 
639  change continents, or log out.
640- All controlled units will now be titled based on the creature type. 
641  All beasts will be referred to as Pets, for example (no matter how 
642  they are controlled). Previously, there were several inconsistencies.
643- Beneficial spells and abilities that target multiple units will no 
644  longer consume resources (i.e. mana, rage etc...) if they fail to 
645  affect anyone.
646- Chain targeted spells and abilities (e.g. Multi-shot, Cleave, Chain 
647  Lightning) will no longer land if target cannot be seen by the caster 
648  due to stealth or invisibility.
649- Character model transparency has been modified to fix an issue where 
650  PC's would appear to have a large hole in their model (be on the 
651  lookout!).
652- Optimization code known as "M2Faster" is now enabled by default. 
653  M2Faster can improve performance in crowded scenes when "Vertex 
654  Animation Shaders" is turned on. This function can be turned off by 
655  setting M2Faster to "0" in the config.wtf.
656   Reduces the unique number of vertex shader permutations that we will 
657   choose to use in rendering
658   Sorts the drawing of items in the scene a little differently to 
659   reduce the number of times we re-program the vertex shader hardware. 
660
661PVP
662- In an effort to keep their armies better outfitted the Horde and 
663  Alliance have both taken it upon themselves to update their available 
664  rewards.
665   An updated set of armor rewards have been added to vendors for Honor 
666   ranks 7, 8, and 10.
667   The armor rewards for Honor ranks 12 and 13 have been increased in 
668   level and stat point allocation.
669   New rank 14 weapons have been added! In order to give casters the 
670   same diversity of selection that melee currently enjoy we have added 
671   new caster items that are available to be purchased by Grand 
672   Marshals and High Warlords. 
673
674Battlegrounds
675- Alterac Valley
676   Most of the NPC guard units have been removed.
677   Players now drop more quest items.
678   Creatures that remain in Alterac Valley have had their hit points 
679   reduced.
680   The buff that is periodically cast by each faction's Captain has 
681   been changed to a flat 20% hit point buff.
682   Upgrading troops through armor scrap turn-ins will also now result 
683   in your team's General enabling a periodic buff to your melee and 
684   spell damage. 
685- This buff scales from 10% at the Seasoned unit level, 20% at the 
686  Veteran unit level, and 30% at the Champion unit level.
687- Warsong Gulch - Epic leggings have been added to the Warsong Outrider 
688  and Silverwing Sentinel supply officers for all armor types. These 
689  items require Exalted status with their respective reputations. 
690
691Druids
692- Innervate: This spell is now a base ability for all Druids, trainable 
693  at level 40. Any Druid who formerly had the Innervate talent now has 
694  the Swiftmend talent instead.
695- Nature's Grace: You will no longer consume this effect when casting a 
696  spell which was made instant by Nature's Swiftness.
697- Swiftmend: This new talent has been added to the Druid Restoration 
698  tree, replacing Innervate as the 31 point ultimate talent. It 
699  consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth aura to produce an instant heal.
700- Enrage: Tooltip edited to clarify functionality. 
701
702Hunters
703- Counterattack (Survival Talent) - All ranks of this talent will now 
704  share the same cooldown.
705- Scorpid Poison: Duration slightly lengthened.
706- Changed the way hunter pet family armor bonuses and penalties are 
707  applied to allow the exact value from the Natural Armor talent to be
708  applied correctly. This may result in a very slight loss of armor to 
709  some pets (less than a third of a percent).
710- Improved Scorpid Sting: The aura from this Sting will now be removed 
711  (as intended) when a different Sting aura is placed on the victim. 
712
713Mages
714- Due to significant talent changes, mages will have all talent points 
715  refunded and can be respent. Training costs for all talent spell

729  through 5.

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

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

772
773Priests

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

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

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

888  damage; If the ability you are using does not deal damage, it will 
889  not use a charge of Sweeping Strikes; The extra attack it generates 
890  when used with Whirlwind now has the correct damage range; The 
891  additional attacks generated by this ability will now properly take
892  into account the armor of the second target. 
893
894Items
895- Key rings have been added to the game.
896   Level 1-39 = 4 slots

920- We have re-evaluated the mechanics of consumable items in the game 
921  and concluded that these should work in a more intuitive manner. As 
922  such, most items that can not be equipped with right click abilities 
923  have been streamlined into one of three categories. Using an item of 
924  a particular category will trigger a shared cooldown among all other 
925  items in the same category. The categories break down as follows with
926  category cooldowns as listed.
927   Potions 2 minutes: This includes items such as Health Potion, Mana 
928   Potion, Invisibility Potion and Mighty Rage Potion.
929   Aggressive 1 minute: This includes items such as explosives, Really 
930   Sticky Glue and Discombobulator Ray.
931   Non-Aggresive 2 minutes: This includes items such as Healthstone, 
932   Night Dragon's Breath, Whipper Root Tuber and Target Dummy. 
933- Many items that can be equipped have had their cooldown category 
934  removed and will be controlled exclusively by the item's self 
935  cooldown. For example, the Gnomish Mind Control Cap should no longer 
936  trigger the cooldown of the Talisman of Arathor.
937- We have re-evaluated the class specific quest rewards for both 
938  Zul'Gurub and Ahn'Qiraj Ruins. To bring them more in line with the 
939  effort required to attain them we have upgraded the superior items to 
940  epic quality.
941- Updated the set bonus tool tip for The Elements and The Five Thunders 
942  set to better explain it's function
943- Antenna of Invigoration's damage type has been changed to Nature, it

1097   Charge effect of the Rocket Helmet early. This is to maintain 
1098   consistency with all other effects that take control away from a 
1099   player (Sheep, Stun, Hibernate, etc...). This change only affects 
1100   players, there is no change in using it against monsters.

1150  zoning into the instance while that encounter is engaged. If you 
1151  attempt to zone into the instance while that encounter is engaged, 
1152  you will be resurrected at the outside entrance. We will be making 
1153  adjustments to the entrances to Molten Core and Blackwing Lair to 
1154  accommodate this change. Combat resurrections, soulstones, 
1155  reincarnate, etc. will still work fine. This is primarily to combat

1166   The various clan speakers (Bloodscalp Speaker, Sandfury Speaker, 
1167   etc) have had their hit points reduced considerably.
1168   Zandalarian Armor Replacement - Due to the changes made to the armor 
1169   rewards from the Paragons of Power quests, the trolls of Yojamba 
1170   Isle will now offer to replace pieces of armor that have been lost 
1171   or deleted.
1172   After careful consideration we have decided to add an additional 
1173   loot table to the High Priests of Zul'Gurub. Players should now see
1174   two items in addition to the tokens when slaying these bosses.
1175   When Hakkar gains the Berserk effect, Hakkar will now emote that he
1176   is berserk instead of emoting that he is enraged.

1196   players to their lair.
1197   If Ouro has been defeated, Arygos will teleport players to the 
1198   chamber where the dragons are being held prisoner.
1199   Arygos will not teleport players that are in combat.

1215  is called Raid Warning and text can be sent to it with "/rw"
1216- Raid leaders now have a Ready Check button on their raid interface. 
1217  This can also be sent with /readycheck from the chat line. A Ready 
1218  Check sends an "Are you ready?" window with Yes/No buttons to all 
1219  players in the raid. The raid leader will get feedback in 30 seconds 
1220  on all the players who were not ready or who did not respond.
1221- Players now have a Raid Info button on their raid interface that 
1222  functions the same way /raidinfo worked before. This function will 
1223  display a pane showing all of the raid instances that a player is 
1224  saved to, rather than displaying it to the chat window.
1225- Players in a party may now select an option that allows them to all

1230   more instances open, and you are not currently in an instance.

1232   party loot options).
1233   You get a warning dialogue when you select this option asking if you 
1234   really want to reset all instances.

1242  items that you are carrying whether you have them equipped or not.

1244  gamefield. A party leader or raid leader/assistant can right-click the
1245  portrait of their target to select a symbol to associate with that 
1246  target. All players in the party/raid will see the selected symbol 
1247  over the head of the target as well as on the portrait of that target.
1248- Players can now turn on the "Target of Target" in the Raid and Party 
1249  section of the interface options. When this is turned on, anytime a 
1250  player is in a party or raid, it will show the portrait and health of 
1251  whatever your current target has targeted. You can click on that 
1252  portrait to target that thing directly or if you have the spell glove 
1253  up you can cast spells on the target of target without targeting it 
1254  directly.
1255- Bags that you are carrying now have a brown background when opened 
1256  and bags that are in your bank have a gray background when opened.

1258  bag they are carrying and one that is in their bank.
1259- When reputation increases from one level to the next (Friendly to 
1260  Honored for instance) that text will be displayed to the chat log

1263  dragon border around Bind on Pickup items.

1265  If the party has recently been inside an instance but is now outside 
1266  of the instance, the party leader will have a right-click option from 
1267  their own portrait (where you select the loot UI preference) that is 
1268  "Reset all Instances". If this is selected all non raid instances will
1269  be reset for the party.
1270- Players now automatically have Keyrings. When a player first acquires
1271  a key, they will automatically acquire a keyring that can only hold

1283  a color to indicate their type. Curses are purple, disease is yellow, 
1284  poison is green and magic is blue. In addition when a party member is 
1285  struck by one of these four types of negative effects, their portrait 
1286  will pulse the appropriate color for 30 seconds or until the effect 
1287  is removed.
1288- Using B at the bank will now toggle open/closed all of your bags and 
1289  all of your bank bags.
1290- When you are at the bank and your open bags would start to overlap

1373  fullscreen effects such as the glow & death effects.
1374

1380  normal damage.

1382- You will be removed from combat when Bloodrage ends, unless you are 
1383  engaged with the enemy.

1385  released or not.

1387  with damage over time effects on them.

1413UI Scripting
1414- Frame XML Change - There is a new "clampToScreen" attribute, which 
1415  will prevent the frame from being dragged off the screen.
1416- Button XML Changes
1417   The button implementation has been changed from three fontstrings 
1418   to a single fontstring with three font objects. This is more 
1419   efficient, uses less memory, and reduces the complexity of defining
1420   a button. To support this, the existing NormalText, HighlightText, 
1421   and DisabledText elements have been deprecated (though they will 
1422   still work in 1.11 for backwards compatibility), and new elements 
1423   ButtonText, NormalFont, HighlightFont, and DisabledFont are defined 
1424   to replace them. 
1425- New API Functions
1426   SetCursor() can now be passed a 32x32 texture filename, as well as a

1429   following fields in the addon TOC file: Title, Notes, Author, 
1430   Version, and any field starting with X- 
1431- Region Script Object - Region is the base object type for all frames, 
1432  textures and fontstrings. Region is also the type of object returned 
1433  by the new Frame:GetTitleRegion() method. Region:GetObjectType() returns 
1434  "Region", and Region:IsObjectType("type") returns true if "type" is 
1435  "Region".
1436   All regions have the following member functions:
1437   type = Region:GetObjectType()
1438   isType = Region:IsObjectType("type")
1439   name = Region:GetName()
1440   frame = Region:GetParent()

1665
1666--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1667- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.10.0 (2006-03-28)
1668--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1669
1670New High-Level Armor Sets!
1671  Adventurers of Azeroth can now quest to upgrade their previous Rare-
1672  quality Dungeon set to a new, higher-quality set, including epic gear!
1673  These tasks include all-new boss encounters, so prepare your finest
1674  group of dungeon-delvers and prepare for a challenge! 
1675
1676Weather!
1677  Weather has been introduced in the following areas around Azeroth:
1678  - Elwynn Forest
1679  - Tirisfal Glades
1680  - Dun Morogh
1681  - Darkshore
1682  - Alterac Mountains
1683  - Stranglethorn Vale
1684  - Feralas
1685  - Un'Goro Crater
1686  - Tanaris
1687  - Winterspring

1691
1692High-Level Instance Changes
1693  Along with the new Armor Sets, the high-level 5-10 man dungeons have
1694  received some changes regarding loot. Many items have been improved
1695  in quality and use. In addition, several epic items, such as
1696  Headmaster's Charge and the Runeblade of Baron Rivendare, have had
1697  their drop rates significantly increased. In order to preserve the
1698  challenge of these dungeons, they have had their instance caps
1699  lowered. Stratholme, Scholomance, and Blackrock Depths now allow a
1700  maximum of five players inside, and Blackrock Spire allows a maximum
1701  of ten. 
1702
1703Quest Experience to Gold Conversion at Level 60
1704  Previously, quest experience was wasted if one completed a quest at
1705  level 60. In this patch, any quests done at maximum level will have
1706  their experience reward converted to a healthy amount of gold, thus
1707  adding additional incentive to completing those quests in your log
1708  once you hit 60. 
1709
1710New Final Destination Flight Paths!
1711  If you're making several jumps to get to your destination, you will
1712  now be able to choose that flight path from your initial Flight
1713  Master. The costs will remain the same, but you no longer need to
1714  manually click on each path. The UI has also been improved
1715  significantly. 
1716
1717General

1742  players that charm them.

1746  detected.

1749  at the completion of the action.
1750- Reputation will no longer be gained if a pet kills a monster without
1751  aid.
1752- Added support for widescreen video resolutions.
1753

1755PvP & Battlegrounds
1756- Alterac Valley
1757   Flavor items from player loot in Alterac Valley will now stack and
1758   can be sold for a small value. These are items like Documents from 
1759   Boomstick Imports, Worn Running Shoes, etc.
1760   Players in Alterac Valley will no longer drop Darkspear Troll Mojo, 
1761   Dwarf Spines, Forsaken Hearts, Human Bone Chips, Orc Teeth, etc. and
1762   the quests have been removed for these items.  Instead when a player
1763   is slain in Alterac Valley, any enemies that were in that player's
1764   threat list will gain 1 point of reputation with either the
1765   Frostwolf or Stormpike factions.
1766   Frostwolf and Stormpike faction will now be gained by killing
1767   players of the opposite faction. Reputation will no longer be split 
1768   up among the entire raid group.
1769   Tower Banners in Alterac Valley can no longer be used through walls.
1770   Korrak the Bloodrager and his band of trolls have packed up their
1771   bags and left Alterac Valley for greener pastures.
1772- Arathi Basin

1774   begins.

1776  significantly increased.
1777- Several Civilian NPCs that would assist the guards in attacking
1778  players no longer do so.

1784- Gift of the Wild - Range and area of effect increased.
1785- Rip - Is now properly considered a Bleed effect.
1786- All shapeshift forms can now use equipped items.
1787- Nature's Swiftness - Now makes Rebirth and Soothe Animal spells
1788  instant cast.
1789- Bear Form and Dire Bear Form - It is no longer possible at very low
1790  health to die when shifting out of these forms.
1791- Pounce - This ability will no longer apply its bleed effect when the
1792  attack misses or is dodged.
1793- Some creature Mana Drain spells were previously able to mana drain
1794  druids in forms that do not display mana. That has been fixed.
1795- Previously, shifting into an animal form granted a one-second
1796  immunity to roots and snares. That has been changed to dispelling
1797  roots and snares.
1798- A new level 52 druid quest that takes place in Un'Goro crater has
1799  been added. 
1800
1801Hunters
1802- Multi-Shot - This ability now has its attack power normalized the
1803  same as melee instant attacks. This means that the attack power
1804  contribution from all ranged weapons will be the same, no matter what
1805  their speed. All weapons will contribute attack power as if they were
1806  2.8 speed. Weapons slower than 2.8 speed will do slightly less damage
1807  than previously; weapons faster than 2.8 speed will do slightly more
1808  damage.
1809- Aimed Shot - This ability now has its attack power normalized the
1810  same as melee instant attacks. This means that the attack power
1811  contribution from all ranged weapons will be the same, no matter what
1812  their speed. All weapons will contribute attack power as if they were
1813  2.8 speed. Weapons slower than 2.8 speed will do slightly less damage
1814  than previously; weapons faster than 2.8 speed will do slightly more
1815  damage.
1816- Improved Aspect of the Hawk - The buff from this talent has had its
1817  duration increased from 8 seconds to 12 seconds. Note that the haste
1818  it provides does not begin until the second shot after the triggering
1819  shot. This change is to compensate for that delay.
1820- Hunter's Mark - This spell no longer triggers procs on the spell
1821  caster. This was being abused to land debuffs without getting on the
1822  creature's hate list.
1823- Claw and Bite - Pets using these abilities will now generate the
1824  correct amount of threat. Only ranks 7 and 8 of claw were generating
1825  the correct amount previously.
1826- Bestial Wrath - No longer generates threat for the Hunter.
1827- New high-level boars now exist in the Eastern Plaguelands and have a
1828  new rank 6 version of the pet ability: Charge.
1829- The special turtle ability Shell Shield has been improved to no
1830  longer root or pacify the turtle, but instead apply a 30% melee slow
1831  for the duration of the effect. Cooldown has been improved from 5
1832  minutes to 3 minutes.
1833- Freezing Traps are now affected by diminishing returns.
1834- Pet Frenzy - This effect will now trigger off any kind of critical
1835  hit by the pet.

1844- Improved Fire Ward - This ability now functions properly again.
1845- Detect Magic - This spell no longer triggers procs on the spell

1855Paladins
1856- Blessing of Light - Different ranks of this spell were stacking

1860- Righteous Fury - Righteous Fury will now always generate the correct

1893

1906  anti-magic energy. Any successful spell cast against the priest will
1907  burn mana from the attacker and cause Shadow damage.
1908- Elune's Grace (Night Elf) - Now also increases chance to dodge.
1909  Ranged damage reduction increased, duration decreased, mana cost
1910  decreased, now has a cooldown.
1911- Shadowguard (Troll) - Is now instant cast. Updated tooltip to reflect
1912  that damage caused by Shadowguard causes no threat. This was
1913  previously the case, but was undocumented.
1914- Inner Fire - Redesigned. Now increases armor by a significant amount
1915  but has 20 charges. Each melee or ranged damage hit will remove a

1921- Hex of Weakness (Troll) - Now also applies a -20% healing modifier in
1922  addition to its normal effect. The healing debuff does not stack with
1923  the warrior's Mortal Strike ability, although the damage penalty now
1924  stacks with either Touch of Weakness or Curse of Weakness. Mana cost
1925  decreased substantially.
1926- Starshards (Night Elf) - This spell now works like Curse of Agony,
1927  with lower initial damage which increases as the duration continues.

1934  as before the cast time was reduced. Rank 2, 3, and 4, the mana cost
1935  was reduced to cost approximately 9% less mana per point of healing
1936  generated. The net effect on all ranks is that the healing per mana
1937  is 10% higher, the cast time is limited to 3 seconds, and the healing
1938  per second is unchanged. Note that spells with less than 3.5 second
1939  cast time will not receive the full bonus from plus healing items.

1941  reduced so that the healing per second is unchanged, but the healing

1944  healing items.

2037  be found scattered throughout Blackrock Depths, Blackrock Spire, Dire
2038  Maul, Scholomance, Stratholme, and The Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. We hope

2060  effectiveness.
2061- Biznicks 247x127 Accurascope now only affects ranged attacks, and

2078  the primary target will receive the slowing effect. In addition, the
2079  two effects have been broken down into two different debuffs to
2080  prevent incorrect information from appearing in the debuff tooltip
2081  for secondary targets (previously secondary targets were told they
2082  were slowed when they were not actually slowed).
2083- Wrath of Cenarius will now trigger off all damaging spells.

2085  melee and ranged abilities and spells which do non-physical damage.

2088  will also now burn charges from each casting of a damage over time
2089  spell, heal over time spell, and area aura spells such as Blizzard

2091  rather than multiple charges per target hit as was previously the

2103  blue-glowing scroll is a blue recipe, for example. As a reminder,
2104  white recipes can be purchased from a vendor somewhere in the world,
2105  so players should not pay too much for them at the Auction House.

2137  all the other Trinkets available from Zul'Gurub, Earthstrike, the

2288User Interface
2289- The Reputation UI has gotten a significant overhaul:
2290   You can now click on a faction in the reputation pane to get
2291   additional details/options.
2292   You can display one of your reputations on your main display where
2293   your experience bar currently displays. If you are not level 60 it
2294   displays two thin bars - experience and reputation.
2295   You can mark any of your factions as "Inactive". These factions will
2296   be moved to the bottom of your reputation pane in a callout that is
2297   closed by default.

2302  rather than the last person who sent a tell to you.

2307  display in gray and also show in parenthesis the number of pieces of

2309- You can now mouseover items in your mailbox and get item mouseover
2310  information without opening the mail.
2311- The raid option to "Show Castable Buffs" should now work correctly.
2312- If a /who search brings up few enough names that those names are
2313  displayed to the chat interface, those names will be right clickable
2314  for invite/whisper purposes.
2315- Fixed a bug that would prevent health and mana display in group or
2316  raid from updating properly.
2317- Fixed problem where character specific macros could be overwritten
2318  by account-wide macros.

2320- Addons and macros may not call or hook functions that initiate
2321  movement.

2696- Heart of the Wild - Previously, when shifting to Bear Form or Dire
2697  Bear Form, this talent would cause your current health to increase by
2698  the same amount as your max health. Now it will cause your percentage
2699  of max health to be the same before and after the shift, as well as

2701  these forms will no longer cause an increase in current health.

2703  awarded 30 energy if their finishing move is dodged, parried, blocked,

2739--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2740- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.9.0 (2006-01-03)
2741--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2742
2743The Gates of Ahn'Qiraj
2744  The Gates of Ahn'Qiraj will house two massive, unique dungeons -- the
2745  Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, a 20-man raid dungeon, and the Temple of 
2746  Ahn'Qiraj, a 40-man raid dungeon. As players delve deeper into the 
2747  mysteries of Ahn'Qiraj, they will discover revelations of the 
2748  Silithid infestation and their shadowy masters, the Qiraji. Players 
2749  will have to complete a world event of massive proportions before 
2750  they can open the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj on their realm.
2751  ***During the public test of Ahn'Qiraj, the world event to open the 
2752  gates will be accelerated to allow testing of the dungeon content.*** 
2753
2754Linked Auction Houses
2755  Players will now be able to buy and sell goods with greater 
2756  effectiveness using the Linked Auction House system. Auction 
2757  Houses in Orgrimmar, Undercity, and Thunder Bluff will now share the 
2758  same pool of Horde player-created auctions, and Alliance players will 
2759  find the same to be true when visiting Ironforge, Stormwind City, and 
2760  Darnassus Auction Houses. This system has been expanded to support 
2761  the neutral Auction Houses as well. Tanaris, Everlook, and Booty Bay 
2762  will all be linked for players of both factions to access. In 
2763  addition, the "Looking for Group" and "Trade" channels have been 
2764  unified among the corresponding cities, meaning, for example, that 
2765  you can trade your goods or look for groups in Ironforge while in 
2766  Stormwind. 
2767
2768Multiple Battlegrounds Queues
2769  Players will be able to enter multiple battleground queues. No longer 
2770  must you make the hard decision of which queue to join -- when queued 
2771  for all three, you can join the first one available or hold out for 
2772  that particular battleground which you've really got your heart set 
2773  on. Should a queue open while you are already in a battleground, you 
2774  may switch to the new battle or remain in the current on.
2775
2776Soul Shard Bags
2777  Tailors now can make soul bags to hold soul shards. The smallest is a 
2778  20-slot bag, the recipe for which can be purchased in Gadgetzan. The 
2779  recipe for a larger bag can be found in Scholomance, and one for an 
2780  even larger bag can be found in Molten Core. In the main UI, these 
2781  soul bags will display how many shards they contain. So long as the 
2782  soul bags have room, any soul shards a warlock creates will 
2783  automatically go into the bag. 
2784
2785Raid Calendar System
2786  The raid-lockout system has undergone a significant change. The new 
2787  system will have all instances reset at a certain server time, 
2788  regardless of when you were actually saved to the instance. The reset 
2789  schedule is as follows:
2790  Molten Core: Every 7 Days, resetting during weekly maintenance.
2791  Blackwing Lair: Every 7 Days, resetting during weekly maintenance
2792  Onyxia: Every 5 Days
2793  Zul'Gurub: Every 3 Days
2794  Temple of AhnQiraj (40-man): Every 7 Days, resetting during weekly 
2795  maintenance
2796  Ruins of AhnQiraj (20-man): Every 3 Days
2797  All resets will occur during off-hours, when the least amount of 
2798  raids are active. 
2799
2800Important Note for Mac OS X Users
2801  The minimum supported Mac OS X revision for WoW will be changed in a 
2802  post-1.9.0 patch, from 10.3.5 to 10.3.9. If you are running 10.3.5 - 
2803  10.3.8 and need to get the free update, you can use Software Update 
2804  or you can go to the Apple website. This change will make 
2805  it easier for us to release future updates to the game, for example 
2806  to support upcoming Mac models based on Intel processors. 
2807

3619
3620General
3621- Instant Attacks
3622   The mechanics of most instant melee attacks have been modified to 
3623   improve item balance. Previously, instant melee attacks did damage 
3624   based on the damage range of the weapon, plus a bonus for the 
3625   player's attack power. This bonus was then multiplied by the speed 
3626   of the weapon. As a result, slow weapons did more damage than was 
3627   intended, and fast weapons were considered inferior by most players. 
3628   We have changed the way the attack power bonus is calculated for 
3629   instant attacks. This change does NOT affect attack power 
3630   calculations for normal melee attacks. Instead of multiplying by the 
3631   speed of the weapon, the attack power bonus is now multiplied by a 
3632   fixed number pulled from the following table:
3633    + Two-handed weapons: 3.3
3634    + Daggers: 1.7
3635    + All other one-handed weapons: 2.4
3636   As a direct result of this, many weapons have shifted position in 
3637   their relative power. In particular, many Epic (purple) quality 
3638   items are now more powerful than slower Superior (blue) weapons.
3639   This change was not made to reduce the power of instant attacks, but 
3640   to correct the relative imbalance of weapon itemization. At a given 
3641   level requirement, epic quality weapons should always be more 
3642   powerful than superior quality weapons.
3643   Please also note that all normal weapon swings will be completely 
3644   unaffected by this change. The following abilities are affected by 
3645   the design change: Sinister Strike, Ambush, Backstab, Whirlwind, 
3646   Mortal Strike, and Overpower.
3647- The cost per point of durability to repair plate, chain, and leather 
3648  items has been reduced to be equal to the cost of repairing cloth items 
3649  of the same quality.
3650- You can now repurchase up to 12 items that you have sold to a vendor. 
3651  There is now a buyback tab on all merchants that you can select to 
3652  repurchase the last 12 items you sold since you last logged in. When 
3653  your character leaves the game or zones to a different area, this 
3654  list of items will be cleared, so if you have accidentally sold 
3655  something, don’t wait to buy it back. Buy it back immediately.
3656- Perception (Human Racial) is now usable while stealthed.
3657- Guardians and pets in aggressive mode no longer attack civilians.
3658- There is now a spell effect when you increase your reputation to a 
3659  new level.
3660- Channeled spells that are cancelled by movement can no longer be cast 
3661  while moving.
3662- Pets no longer break off attacks when their target is affected by 
3663  Warlock Fear.
3664- The "Knockout" mechanic has been renamed "Disorient" and all tooltips 
3665  that referenced this mechanic should be updated. 
3666
3667PvP
3668- Honor System
3669   The percentage of players that may reach ranks 6 through 14 has been 
3670   increased.
3671   Lower-level players should advance in the Honor System more quickly 
3672   than they had previously (although this change does not affect the 
3673   highest ranks they can achieve).
3674- Battlegrounds
3675   Each Battleground has an individual turn-in quest associated with 
3676   its related victory/loss condition. Upon completion of a 
3677   Battleground, the winning side will be awarded three Marks of Honor 
3678   while the losing side will be awarded one Mark of Honor. Three Marks 
3679   of Honor may be turned in to the associated questgiver for Honor 
3680   Points and faction increase. Should players complete this turn-in 
3681   quest, they will find that the bonus Honor Points for completion are 
3682   twice that of normal turn-in conditions (individual).
3683   Players of levels 10 - 19 will now be able to participate in the 
3684   battle for Warsong Gulch.
3685   Alterac Valley has received an overhaul:
3686    + In order to keep teams in Alterac Valley more numerically 
3687      balanced, players will now enter Alterac Valley on a one-for-one 
3688      basis (i.e. if there are 30 players in the battleground for each 
3689      side with 10 players in the Alliance queue and 2 players in the 
3690      Horde queue, only two players from each team will be added, 
3691      bringing the total to 32 per side).
3692    + The minimum number of players required to start a battle in 
3693      Alterac Valley has been lowered to 20 (the maximum is still 40).
3694    + Points for completing the map and winning have been slightly 
3695      decreased.
3696    + Graveyards and graveyard capture points are now at different 
3697      locations. The banners players must interact with in order to 
3698      capture a graveyard have been distanced from each other somewhat 
3699      in order to alleviate "graveyard zerging" and make graveyards 
3700      more meaningful to both defense and offense.
3701    + Several terrain changes were made to fix some geometry exploits 
3702      as well as to adjust for the new graveyard mechanic.
3703    + Iceblood Graveyard has been fortified.
3704    + The Frostwolf Relief Hut now has appropriate guards.
3705    + A great avalanche has closed off both the eastern and western 
3706      segments of Alterac Valley. This has displaced the Syndicate, the 
3707      Wildpaw Gnolls, and many of the Winterax Trolls.
3708    + Due to the avalanche, Korrak the Bloodrager and a small band of 
3709      surviving Trolls have made the Snowfall Graveyard their new home. 
3710      Players will find that Snowfall is now under Korrak's control and 
3711      they must defeat Korrak and his Troll guards if they wish to take 
3712      Snowfall.
3713    + The quests Korrak the Bloodrager (Alliance), Korrak the 
3714      Everliving (Alliance), The Legend of Korrak (Horde), and The 
3715      Return of Korrak (Horde) have been removed from the game. The 
3716      rewards for the initial quest involving Korrak have been moved 
3717      and can be acquired by completing the quest associated with 
3718      winning a match in Alterac Valley. We realize that some players 
3719      may have had the Korrak quest and never completed it. These 
3720      players may have already completed the quest for killing the 
3721      General and thus might not be able to benefit from the rewards 
3722      from the previous quest line. We have opted to add an extra quest 
3723      step at the end of the General kill quests to reward players that 
3724      fall under such conditions.
3725    + A new item has been added as one of the reward choices for the 
3726      quests Hero of the Stormpike and Hero of the Frostwolf.
3727    + NPC difficulty has been scaled down. All NPCs have had their 
3728      power reduced by 15-30%.
3729    + There is now a portcullis at the end of each of the entrance 
3730      tunnels inside Alterac Valley. They will rise two minutes into 
3731      the battle. 
3732- The PvP Tier2 Alliance and Horde Cloth armor sets have new updated 
3733  textures.
3734- Hunter traps no longer affect opposing players when the hunter is not 
3735  flagged for PvP. 
3736
3737Druids
3738- Due to significant talent changes, talent points for Druids have been

3742  level 40. Damage and Mana cost increased on all ranks. Spell is now

3744  Reach. Multiple Druids casting Hurricane will no longer stack the

4155   Battleground "holidays" have been added to Warsong Gulch, Alterac
4156   Valley and Arathi Basin. Holidays occur during most weekends,

4170   in Warsong Gulch.

4172   Spirit Healers unless you choose to decline.
4173   A bug that allowed ghost players to pass through the Warsong Gulch
4174   starting gate has been fixed.
4175   Alterac Valley now correctly rewards honor for owning graveyards at
4176   the end of the game.

4190   only display players in your instance.

4204

4235  Trap Effect.

4250- Freezing Trap now shares the same duration in pvp as other
4251  long-duration forms of crowd control (ie: polymorph, fear, sap).
4252- The resist rate for hunter traps is now based on the hunter's skill
4253  rather than the level of the trap.
4254- Pet Abilities
4255   Hunters now have the first round of pet customization available. New
4256   passive abilities include increased armor, stamina, Fire resistance,
4257   Frost resistance, Nature resistance, Shadow resistance, and Arcane
4258   resistance.
4259   Hunter pets can now be untrained of all their skills from
4260   any beast trainer in the major cities. Similar to talents,
4261   untraining a specific pet scales up as you do it more times: 10
4262   silver, 50 silver, 1 gold, 2 gold, 3 gold, etc., eventually stopping
4263   at 10 gold.
4264   Training point costs for all abilities have been rebalanced. You'll
4265   now be able to use all your pet's training points with meaningful
4266   choices. To help make "hunting" pets more viable in more situations,
4267   the Growl ability is now free to all pets.
4268   Bats, owls, and carrion birds can now learn the Screech ability, a
4269   fast single-target attack that also lowers the attack power of all

4271   Cats can now learn Stealth. In addition to being unseen, they
4272   receive a damage bonus for their first attack coming out of stealth.
4273   Scorpids can now learn Scorpid Poison. The poison deals Nature

4275   Wolves can now learn Furious Howl. The howl adds a flat amount of
4276   damage to all nearby party member's next attack (within 15 yards). 
4277- Hunter pets now gain experience based on the level difference between
4278  them and their target rather than the difference between the Hunters
4279  and their target. This will make it much easier to level up a low
4280  level pet. Keep in mind that the Hunter must still kill creatures
4281  from which he/she will gain experience.
4282- The tooltips for quick Hunter shots have been updated to show them as
4283  instant abilities.
4284- Feign death is no longer resisted by players.

4296  (You can no longer kill Paladin Ghosts).

4300  amount of attack power increased by ranks 2, 3 and 5 of the spell.
4301
4302Priests
4303- Focused Casting - Mana cost removed. Now no longer triggers the
4304  global cooldown on all other spells.
4305- Vampiric Embrace - Now heals 20% of the damage actually caused
4306  (including critical hits, buffs etc...) but now only heals when
4307  shadow spells cause the damage.
4308- Switching to Shadow Form no longer cancels Holy buffs on a priest.
4309- You can cancel melee combat while mind controlling by clearing the
4310  target, like you can normally.

4322  effect should no longer immediately break Gouge. 
4323- Riposte - Fixed a bug where the ability was not usable when a special
4324  attack (e.g. Gouge) is parried.
4325
4326Warlocks
4327- Inferno - The stun effect can now be resisted. Tooltip updated to
4328  reflect enslave duration after the initial summon.
4329- Spell Lock (Felhunter) - In addition to interrupting spellcasting, it
4330  will now silence the target for a short duration.
4331- Benefits received from the old Master Conjuror talent should now be
4332  removed on all Warlocks.
4333- Firestone - When a Firestone is equipped, it should no longer 
4334  interrupt tradeskill creation.
4335- Demonic Sacrifice - All effects gained from sacrificing the pet
4336  should no longer be dispellable.
4337- Conflagrate - The Conflagrate spell is now instant cast. The damage
4338  and mana cost has been raised on all ranks of the spell.
4339- Fear will now cause creatures to flee immediately, even if they are
4340  already moving.
4341- Succubus pets will be smarter about when to use Seduction.
4342- Succubus pets can now autocast Lesser Invisibility.
4343- Fixed a bug where Fear and Curse of Recklessness, when used together,
4344  would prevent targets from casting spells. 
4345- Fixed a bug where Soul Link and Power Word: Sheild, when used
4346  together, would heal the Warlock instead of splitting or absorbing
4347  damage. 
4348- Demon Armor - The armor increase will now stack together with
4349  Scrolls of Protection.
4350
4351Warriors
4352- Deflection - Will now increase parry chance when using Fist Weapons.

4358- Retaliation, Recklessness and Shield Wall will no longer be cancelled

4361- Shoot Bow/Gun/Crossbow - Should no longer cause a global cooldown on
4362  all other abilities. 
4363- Sweeping Strikes will now ignore dead targets, and will ignore PvP
4364  enabled targets if you are not PvP enabled.
4365
4366Items
4367- We have determined that the defense statistic was being applied to
4368  items too liberally, causing those items to be stronger than they
4369  should have been relative to other items of the same level with
4370  different effects. As a result, we have reduced the amount of defense
4371  points on all items with bonuses to defense by approximately 33% in
4372  order to bring those items in line with other similar items.
4373- Proficiency Bonuses have been added to the game. Some sets of
4374  equippable items have been added that will give bonus effects to the
4375  player only if they have a specific skill, such as Leatherworking.

4388  increased.

4413  with the same bonus as the set bonus could reduce the affected stats
4414  twice until logout.
4415- Sayge's Dark Fortune of Resistance now adds +25 to all schools
4416  instead of +10%.
4417- PvP reward gloves that grant stealth detection have had the detection
4418  reduced somewhat.
4419- There are now items in the game that have a duration on them that is
4420  measured in real time. For instance, there are fish that have a
4421  four-hour duration; they only last four hours regardless of whether
4422  or not the character is logged in.
4423- Alterac Valley Spring Water now has a minimum level of 55.

4461  the trinket's passive effects.
4462- Night Dragon's Breath can now be used while silenced.
4463- Texture for the Dragon's Touch wand corrected.
4464- Bind on Equip Bracers and Belts in Molten Core now drop more often.

4471  spellbook.

4483- The Effects of Flasks will now persist through death.
4484- Free Action potions can now be dispelled.
4485- Wildvine potions have been improved.
4486- Dreamless Sleep potions now take full effect in 12 seconds instead
4487  of 15.
4488- There is now a Horde cooking recipe that uses Tender Crocolisk Meat
4489  found at Brackenwall Village.
4490- Dark Iron Boots have been added as Blacksmithing plans that require
4491  Exalted reputation with the Thorium Brotherhood.

4496  beaches of the world.
4497- Dark Iron mineral nodes will now sometimes appear in the Burning
4498  Steppes and Searing Gorge.

4500  become soulbound will now prompt the enchanter with a warning message
4501  before the enchantment is cast.
4502- The Gnomish Death Ray now only can be cast if the target is within 20
4503  yards. Previously you could cast this on players outside that range,
4504  even though the spell immediately failed.
4505- Cured Rugged hides now stack to 10 instead of 5. 
4506
4507Quest
4508- A great number of quests and events added to Zul'Gurub.
4509- A level 50 class quest has been added for the Rogue (Lord Ravenholdt

4511  (Archmage Xylem in Azshara), and Hunter (Ogtinc in Azshara).
4512- Reputation gains given to a player on the Alliance, Horde, or
4513  Steamwheedle Cartel factions directly will now cascade down to member
4514  factions through the middle of the Exalted reputation level.
4515- The summoning crystals of Andorhal have been removed; as a result,
4516  Araj the Summoner will behave like a normal spawn. The respawn time
4517  on Araj once he is slain is 10-15 minutes. It should be noted that
4518  the spawns surrounding where he holds dominion have been maintained;
4519  players seeking to defeat him should not be shy about bringing
4520  friends with them.
4521- Araj the Summoner now has increased hit points and does increased
4522  melee damage.
4523- Araj the Summoner no longer drops a Corruptor's Scourgestone 100% of
4524  the time when killed.
4525- The text for the Horde and Alliance versions of "Araj's Scarab" now
4526  reflect the changes done to the Araj encounter.
4527- The text for the Horde and Alliance versions of "Alas, Andorhal" now
4528  reflect the changes done to the Araj encounter.
4529- The Argent Dawn quest "The Active Agent" now offers a choice of
4530  rewards: Seal of the Dawn and Rune of the Dawn. Both may be used just
4531  like an Argent Dawn Commission.
4532- Players seeking to replace their Seal of the Dawn (or get a Rune of 
4533  the Dawn instead) once they've finished "The Active Agent" quest
4534  should speak with Betina Bigglezink in Eastern Plaguelands.
4535- The Seal of the Dawn is now unique, no longer has any cash value, and
4536  is no longer disenchantable.
4537- The level 5 quests had the ranged weapon removed from their reward
4538  options. This was done to make sure hunters upgrade their melee
4539  damage in the levels before obtaining a pet.
4540- Added text to the Test of Endurance quest to indicate you might need
4541  to bring some friends along.
4542- The amount of XP and Stormwind reputation has been increased for
4543  completing "Hilary's Necklace" quest.
4544- Torek in Ashenvale (the questgiver for Torek's Assault) is now PvP
4545  enabling.
4546- Important Blackrock Documents for the Horde quest, "Warlord's 
4547  Command," no longer despawn. They can still randomly spawn at one of
4548  four locations.
4549- Two new quests have been added to Thorium Point in the Searing Gorge
4550  for Thorium Brotherhood reputation turnin for players with neutral
4551  faction. You will now be able to turn in Iron and Heavy Leather to
4552  increase your reputation with the Brotherhood.
4553- "The Darkreaver Menace" quest has had its reward improved; any Shaman
4554  who has already completed the quest should speak to Sagorne
4555  Creststrider in Orgrimmar to get their new reward.
4556- The Boulderslide Ravine quest in Stonetalon Mountains now more
4557  clearly points players to the Boulderslide Ravine.
4558- The original Hakkar quest (the one that involved killing Hakkar's
4559  Avatar in the Sunken Temple) has been extended, and now offers a
4560  reward.
4561- Completing the initial Magram or Gelkis quest in Desolace now gives
4562  appropriate positive and negative reputation gains.
4563- The completion dialogue for the "A Rogue's Deal" quest has been
4564  clarified.
4565- All 8 versions of the "A Donation of Runecloth" quest have had their
4566  quest text clarified.
4567- Certain mobs and NPCs that erroneously had plus or minus reputation
4568  gains on kills for Horde or Alliance have been corrected.
4569- Various quest typos fixed. 
4570
4571Raids and Dungeons
4572- Characters will now receive an error when attempting to enter a raid
4573  dungeon if the reason they cannot enter is because they are not in a
4574  raid group.
4575- Fixed a bug that was preventing Rallying Cry of the Dragon Slayer to
4576  fire when Onyxia's head was turned in (assuming a head was not
4577  already up).
4578- You can now no longer avoid Onyxia's confuse effect by jumping or
4579  moving erratically.
4580- Death Knight Darkreaver in Scholomance shouldn't be so noisy anymore.
4581- The Ogre Tannin Basket in Dire Maul should stick around longer if
4582  someone opens it and does not initially loot the tannin from it.
4583- A few Molten Core bosses now drop Fiery or Lava Cores. 
4584
4585User Interface
4586- New "Dressing Room" Interface now available! If you control-left
4587  click on any item, item reference (vendors, quests) or item link
4588  (chat), a UI panel will appear showing your character wearing that
4589  item. You can then use the same command (control-left click) on
4590  additional items to add to the preview appearance. In addition, the
4591  Auction House now has a checkbox in the upper right-hand corner; if
4592  checked, any item you click on within the Auction House will
4593  automatically be previewed on your character.
4594- Need Before Greed and Group Loot options have been improved. The
4595  rolling window that appears when an item of the threshold and above
4596  is looted now has three buttons: a Need button (the dice), a Greed
4597  button (the coin), and a close button. Any players who select Need
4598  will get a chance to roll first for the item, with the high roller
4599  winning. If no one selects Need, all characters who selected Greed
4600  will then roll,with the highest roll winning the item. If everyone
4601  closes the window, the item becomes lootable by anyone in the group.
4602- You can now disable the slow scrolling of text when you are receiving
4603  a new quest.
4604- Opening the overhead map will now "ping" your location your map (to
4605  make it easier to notice your location when there are many friendlies
4606  nearby on the overhead map).
4607- The overhead map now displays a directional icon for your character.
4608- Spell effects that stack multiple times on a character will now
4609  display a number in the bottom corner indicating how many times the
4610  effect has stacked. For example, if a player has had the Sunder Armor
4611  ability used on them three times, the Sunder Armor effect icon will
4612  display a 3 in the corner.
4613- A confirmation dialog is now shown when you choose to make an Inn
4614  your home.
4615- The tooltip for spells like Seal of the Crusader correctly reflects
4616  the benefit of the spell, instead of occasionally being off by one.
4617- Using /random will now send the text to your party or raid wherever
4618  they are instead of the local area around the player that used
4619  /random.
4620- When in a raid group, the group you are in will now appear above your
4621  name next to your portrait.
4622- Mail recipient name completion now works with offline guild members
4623  even if you are not showing them in the guild UI.
4624- Guild ranks and player notes are now filtered by the profanity
4625  filter.
4626- The temporary mana cost reduction of Burst of Knowledge and similar
4627  effects is now reflected in tooltips.
4628- Quest rewards are now linked in chat like other items gained.
4629- You can auto-equip items while in flight by right clicking on them,
4630  as you would normally.
4631- Fixed bug preventing the Release Spirit dialog from showing if you
4632  die while jumping in lava.
4633- You can now use the Escape key to exit out of pop up dialogues.
4634- Fixed lua error when relinking poor and standard quality items from
4635  loot messages.
4636- Consumable items on the action bar will now always show the number
4637  remaining, even if there are none in your inventory.
4638- You can create the directory Interface\Icons, and any 32x32 .blp or
4639  .tga files you put in there will be available in the icon list for
4640  your macros.
4641- Pet spells in macros are now supported, both using /cast and using
4642  CastSpellByName().
4643- If you omit the rank of a spell in /cast or CastSpellByName(), it
4644  will use the highest rank of the spell which you know.
4645- While it will still be possible to override files in
4646  Interface/FrameXML, doing so is discouraged (and is likely to become
4647  impossible in a future release). Significant API additions are being
4648  made to eliminate the need for such direct FrameXML changes.
4649- You will now be able to list .lua files directly in the addon
4650  .toc file.
4651- The SetPoint() and SetAllPoints() script functions can take an actual
4652  frame instead of a frame name.
4653- TargetNearest* script functions will only work in response to a
4654  button click or a key binding, to discourage addons which scan the
4655  battlefield for targets.
4656- Addon-specific Saved Variables!
4657   Each addon's saved variables will be saved in the file
4658   WTF\Account\{accountname}\SavedVariables\{addonname}.lua, and will
4659   only be loaded when the addon is loaded.
4660     IMPORTANT: The first time you enter the game with this change, you
4661     must make sure all your addons are enabled, or their saved
4662     variables will be lost! If you accidentally do this once, you can
4663     recover by quitting the game, moving your backup SavedVariables.
4664     lua into place and restarting the game with addons enabled.
4665
4666- Addon Loading On Demand!
4667   If you add the following line to your addon's .toc file, it will not
4668   be loaded at the normal load time, it will instead be dynamically
4669   loaded upon request:
4670
4671            ## LoadOnDemand: 1
4672
4673            You can query to see if an addon is loaded by using the new
4674            IsAddOnLoaded("addonname") function, and you can load an
4675            addon dynamically using the LoadAddOn("addonname") function.
4676            This function returns true if the addon is loaded
4677            successfully, and can be safely and efficiently called even
4678            if the addon is already loaded.
4679
4680            For your convenience, the function
4681            UIParentLoadAddOn("addonname") is provided which will
4682            attempt to load the addon and pop up an error message if it
4683            failed to load for any reason.
4684
4685            Once an addon is loaded, the ADDON_LOADED event is sent,
4686            with arg1 set to the name of the addon. An addon can listen
4687            for that event, and when it recieves that event with it's
4688            own name, it can safely access its saved variables.
4689
4690            An important thing to note is that when an addon is loaded
4691            dynamically, it doesn't have access to any of the virtual
4692            frame templates that are defined by FrameXML, including
4693            font definitions.
4694
4695- New Scripting Functions
4696   debugprofilestart() - starts a timer for profiling during debugging.
4697   millis = debugprofilestop() - return the time in milliseconds since
4698   the last call to debugprofilestart() 
4699- New UI Element Member Functions
4700   handlerFunction = Frame:GetScript("handler") - (for handlers like
4701   "OnShow", "OnEnter", etc) which returns the current event handler
4702   for a frame.
4703   Frame:SetScript("handler", function) - sets the action/event handler
4704   for a frame (or removes it with a nil function)
4705   Frame:SetBackdrop(nil) / Frame:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "bgFile",
4706   edgeFile = "edgeFile", tile = false, tileSize = 0, edgeSize = 32,
4707   insets = { left = 0, right = 0, top = 0, bottom = 0 }}) (Note: This
4708   is a table argument)
4709   FontString:SetFont("font", size [, "flags"]).
4710   StatusBar:SetStatusBarTexture("file" [, "layer"])
4711   lines = ScrollingMessageFrame:GetMaxLines()
4712   ScrollingMessageFrame:SetMaxLines(lines)
4713   ScrollingMessageFrame:EnableFading([isEnabled]) (Defaults to true)
4714   ScrollingMessageFrame:SetFadeDuration(seconds)
4715   ScrollingMessageFrame:SetTimeVisible(seconds)
4716   ScrollingMessageFrame:Clear()
4717   lines = EditBox:GetHistoryLines()
4718   EditBox:SetHistoryLines(lines)
4719   EditBox:SetIgnoreArrows([isIgnored]) (Defaults to true)
4720   r,g,b,a = FontString:GetTextColor() 
4721   Frame:SetParent(nil, or "parent" or parentFrame)
4722   numChildren = Frame:GetNumChildren()
4723   child1, child2, child3, ... = Frame:GetChildren()
4724- Addon Saved Variables
4725   SavedVariables will no longer drop stored numbers to single 
4726   precision.
4727   Infinite/Nan values no longer cause corrupted SavedVariables.lua
4728   file.(Written as nils with comment) 
4729- Chat and Combat Logging
4730   The script functions ChatFrameLog() and ToggleCombatLogFileWrite()
4731   are obsolete.
4732   Added script function: isLogging=LoggingChat([newState]) (Returns
4733   new state (or current state if no argument))
4734   Added script function: isLogging=LoggingCombat([newState]) (Returns
4735   new state (or current state if no argument))
4736   New slash command /chatlog toggles chat logging (/combatlog toggles
4737   combat logging)
4738   The file for the chat log is Logs\WoWChatLog.txt and the file for
4739   the combat log is Logs\WoWCombatLog.txt
4740   Chat and combat log files will be appended to rather than
4741   overwritten.
4742   You now receive combat log messages and damage feedback when you are
4743   being attacked by creatures you can't see.
4744   If you call a tamed Deepmoss Hatchling, you are no longer notified
4745   that you hatched.
4746   Fixed disconnection caused by relinking an item in a different
4747   locale than that of your client.
4748   Looted items now always show their names in the appropriate quality
4749   color. 
4750   You now get combat feedback when you take damage from unseen
4751   opponents, like the Unseen in Raven Hill.
4752   Fixed damage display on the character sheet when you have Fury of
4753   the Frostwolf or Stormpike's Salvation.
4754
4755World Environment
4756- The Ranazjar Isle sub-area has been added off the northwest coast of
4757  Desolace. The Ranazjar Isle puzzle piece now properly pops when you
4758  venture there.
4759- Entering the zeppelin towers at Durotar and Grom'gol Base Camp no
4760  longer incorrectly flags you as being in the Valley of Strength.
4761- Argent Dawn, Timbermaw, Zandalar and Arathi Basin vendors now show
4762  you their entire inventory regardless of current reputation, allowing
4763  players to peruse their full range of wares. The items in question
4764  now require the appropriate reputation level to make use of them.
4765- Some of the ship and zeppelin paths have been modified.
4766- Gor'tesh and Grol the Destroyer should no longer stay in evade mode

4770- The Champion's Hall and the Hall of Legends have new load screens.

4772  intuitive quest flow: Storm Shadowhoof who was previously at 
4773  Bloodvenom Falls in Felwood has been moved to Everlook. Witch Doctor
4774  Mau'ari who was previously in Orgrimmar has been moved to Everlook.
4775- Scorpids above level 10 now drop more valuable parts than they did

4779- Zone bound items, such as the Gordok Courtyard Key, will no longer

4781  Reviving in a zone outside the item's listed zone binding will still
4782  cause the item to disappear, however.
4783- Pelturas Whitemoon's faction has been fixed; the NPC is now properly
4784  associated with Darnassus.
4785- Narm Faulk is now a part of the Ironforge Faction.

4809
4810 Raids & Dungeons

4812   Several encounters in Blackwing Lair now cause the front gate to 
4813   close, preventing players from zoning out or joining an in-progress 
4814   battle.
4815   The Razorgore encounter has been changed slightly to make it less 
4816   "random". The spawning should be more consistent throughout the 
4817   fight.
4818   The timer for Vaelastrasz the Corrupt is now more persistent. You 
4819   can no longer reset the one-hour time limit for beating him by

4831  10.4 when trying to send an error report.

4835- Fixed the "blockWidth", "srec", and "bitnum < m_numBits" assertions 
4836  bugs that would crash the game.
4837- Fixed a bug involving corpses near the player that could result in a 
4838  crash ("BusError"). 
4839
4840
4841--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4842- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.6.0 (2005-07-12)
4843--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4844
4845Blackwing Lair Released!
4846  Nefarian's sanctum, Blackwing Lair, can be found at the very height
4847  of Blackrock Spire. It is there in the dark recesses of the 
4848  mountain's peak that Nefarian has begun to unfold the final stages of
4849  his plan to destroy Ragnaros once and for all and lead his army to 
4850  undisputed supremacy over all the races of Azeroth.  Blackwing Lair 
4851  is a max-level, 40-player raid dungeon, with many new encounters and 
4852  tempting rewards awaiting the intrepid adventurer that dares enter 
4853  its halls.
4854
4855Darkmoon Faire!
4856  A gathering of the exotic from around the world and beyond, Silas 
4857  Darkmoon has brought together the Darkmoon Faire as a celebration of
4858  the wondrous and mysterious found in Azeroth.  While the Faire spends
4859  most of their time in parts unknown, they do stop from time to time 
4860  in Mulgore and Elwynn forest.   When the faire is on its way barkers 
4861  will stop by Ogrimmar and Ironforge to announce its arrival.
4862
4863Battlemasters!
4864  There is a new way to enter the battleground queues.  Battlemasters!
4865  Located in some of the cities, right-clicking on a battlemaster will
4866  allow your character to enter a battleground queue just like you 
4867  normally would if you touched that battleground’s entrance portal.  
4868  The functionality is exactly the same, so when it’s your character’s
4869  time to enter the chosen battleground, you will be teleported 
4870  directly in.  Glordrum Steelbeard stands in the Hall of Arms in 
4871  Ironforge, serving as the Alliance battlemaster for Alterac Valley.  
4872  Aethalas of the Silverwing Sentinels stands ready in Darnassus, next
4873  to the warrior trainers, to send Alliance characters into Warsong 
4874  Gulch.  And in the Hall of the Brave, located in Orgrimmar’s Valley 
4875  of Honor, Brakgul Deathbringer serves as the Horde’s battlemaster 
4876  for Warsong Gulch, while Kartra Bloodsnarl will send you to bring 
4877  glory to the Horde in Alterac Valley. Guards in their respective 
4878  cities can give you directions on how to find them.
4879
4880General

5349World Environment
5350- Flight Paths
5351   Added a Wind Rider Master to Camp Taurajo in The Barrens. 
5352   New Horde Flight Paths -- 
5353    Camp Taurajo in The Barrens <-> Crossroads in The Barrens 
5354    Camp Taurajo in The Barrens <-> Thunder Bluff in Mulgore 
5355    Camp Taurajo in The Barrens <-> Freewind Post in Thousand Needles 
5356   Fixed several problems with the flight path from Undercity to 
5357   Hammerfall while passing through the Ruins of Andorhal. 
5358   Fixed some problems with the Ironforge to Stormwind flight path. 
5359   The Darkshire <-> Booty Bay flight paths no longer fly over the 
5360   Gurubashi Arena in Stranglethorn Vale, and therefore no longer 
5361   flag fliers as being in Free-for-All PvP. Also, they should no 
5362   longer fly through the zeppelins coming in and out of the Grom'Gol 
5363   Base Camp.
5364- Graveyards
5365   Feralas, Durotar, Mulgore, Darnassus, Tirisfal Glades (excluding
5366   the Bulwark graveyard), Elwynn Forest & the Eastern Plaguelands
5367   have now all been converted over to the new graveyard system.
5368   The system will place your character's spirit at the closest
5369   allowed graveyard in the zone. For example, an Alliance character
5370   dying closer to the new Darnassus graveyard, detailed below,
5371   will use that graveyard rather than the one located at Dolanaar. 
5372   Starting area graveyards are still reserved exclusively for 
5373   characters of similar faction that die within their confines.
5374   For example, the spirit of a Horde character dying right outside
5375   of Deathknell will not use Deathknell graveyard, but will instead
5376   go to the next closest Tirisfal Glades graveyard. 
5377   A Horde-only graveyard has been added in the northern section of 
5378   Durotar, just to the south of Orgrimmar.  In addition to serving 
5379   northern Durotar, Horde characters dying in Orgrimmar, The Hall
5380   of Legends and Ragefire Chasm will use this new graveyard.
5381   Alliance characters dying in Durotar will continue to only
5382   use the Razor Hill graveyard. 
5383   A Horde-only graveyard has been placed at the northern base of
5384   Thunder Bluff in Mulgore. Horde characters dying in Thunder Bluff
5385   will also use this new graveyard.  Alliance characters dying in
5386   Mulgore will continue to only use the graveyard at Bloodhoof
5387   Village. 
5388   An Alliance-only graveyard has been added at the eastern end of
5389   Darnassus.  Alliance characters dying in Darnassus will use this
5390   new graveyard.  Horde characters dying on Teldrassil will still
5391   only be able to use the graveyard at Dolanaar. 
5392   An Alliance-only graveyard has been added just outside of Ironforge,
5393   around the side of the mountain.  It is only for use by Alliance 
5394   characters that die inside Ironforge and in the Gates of Ironforge
5395   sub-area of Dun Morogh.  Horde characters dying therein will 
5396   continue to only use the Kharanos graveyard. 
5397   The Ruins of Lordaeron above Undercity now has a Horde-only 
5398   graveyard.  Horde characters dying inside the Undercity will use
5399   this new graveyard. Alliance characters will continue to solely use 
5400   the Faol's Rest graveyard. 
5401   A neutral graveyard has been added at the Eastvale Logging Camp
5402   in Elwynn Forest.  The graveyard at Goldshire is now for use by 
5403   the Alliance exclusively. Horde characters dying in Elwynn Forest
5404   and its sub-areas, as well as in Stormwind, The Stockade and the
5405   Deeprun Tram, will have their spirits travel to the new graveyard
5406   at the Eastvale Logging Camp.
5407   A neutral graveyard has been added on the island of Caer Darrow
5408   in Western Plaguelands.  It will serve characters who die on
5409   Caer Darrow and in Scholomance. 
5410   A neutral graveyard has been added in the Eastern Plaguelands 
5411   near the northwestern shore of Blackwood Lake.  Characters that 
5412   die in The Fungal Vale will continue to use the Darrowshire 
5413   graveyard due to the mountains between it and the new graveyard.
5414   Additionally, characters dying in Stratholme will now use the
5415   new Blackwood Lake graveyard. 
5416   A neutral graveyard has been added in Feralas, just to the 
5417   southwest of Dire Maul. Characters dying in Dire Maul will use
5418   this new graveyard.
5419- Darkmoon Cards have been seen dropping from high level Humanoids
5420  around the world. Collect a set of them and bring them to the 
5421  Darkmoon Faire when it is in town!
5422- Several NPCs that were not marked as Civilians are now correctly 
5423  labeled.
5424- The "Human, Theramore" faction is now the "Theramore" faction.  This
5425  faction is allied with the Alliance and is at war with the Horde. 
5426- High Elves now have their own distinct faction – "Silvermoon Remnant".
5427  This faction is allied with the Alliance and is at war with the Horde.
5428  Not all High Elves are a part of this faction. 
5429- Several NPCs around the world are now associated with the proper 
5430  faction.
5431- Dimetradons in Un'Goro Crater should be found more regularly now.
5432- Fire Elementals in Searing Gorge should be easier to find.

5434  finally decided to stop staring at one another and will now wander 
5435  around the entrance to the pass.

5437  in Orgrimmar.
5438- Dark Strand Cultist and Enforcers are now correctly labeled Humanoid.

5443  in Ironforge received promotions; they are now significantly tougher 
5444  than before.

5446  to earth.
5447- The Barrens should now feel more alive.
5448- Sickly Gazelles now have a sickly look to them. 
5449- Jarven Thunderbrew in Kharanos warns players in Common now, and not
5450  in Dwarvish.

5454- An icon has been added at the Kalimdor continent map level for 
5455  Revantusk Village. 
5456- Revantusk Village will now have an arrow pointing in its direction 
5457  on the mini-map when you get close enough to it.

5481  Ashenvale (Alliance).  The Alterac Valley entrances may be found east 
5482  of Sofera's Naze in Alterac (Horde), and in the Headlands of Alterac 
5483  (Alliance).
5484
5485General
5486- Wands - The Shoot Wand ability is now a toggle. While active, it will 
5487  continue attacking with the equipped wand until some other action is 
5488  taken (movement, spellcasting, item use, etc...).
5489- Pet speed has been increased when out of combat and following their 
5490  master.
5491- Berserking (Troll Racial) - Updated tooltip to clarify ability only 
5492  usable following a melee critical.

5494  ignore the additional resistance.
5495- It should no longer be possible to disarm traps created by friendly 
5496  players.
5497
5498PvP
5499- Honor system
5500   Dishonorable kills - gained by killing a trivial Civilian NPC - now 
5501   has a negative impact on a player's honor. Enough dishonorable kills 
5502   will reduce a player's rank all the way to zero.
5503   Players may now see an "estimated contribution point value" in the 
5504   combat log for an honorable kill.  Note that this value does not 
5505   take diminishing returns against the same player into account, and 
5506   is therefore "estimated".
5507   "Team Contribution Points" has been renamed to "Honor"
5508   Added tooltips to the different elements of the Honor System UI.
5509   Players will see their last week's kill data in the "Last Week" 
5510   section of the Honor System UI even if they did not achieve the 25 
5511   honorable kills required to gain standing or rank.
5512   Fixed a bug where the PvP trinket rewards were not always removing 
5513   the effects they were designed to remove (e.g. Polymorph, Fear, 
5514   Stun).
5515- Sitting characters will now stand up immediately after an attack, 
5516  even if stunned.
5517- Players can no longer swap inventory gear while dueling.
5518- Dueling is now allowed within Everlook.
5519
5520Hunters
5521- The Hunter Epic quest has had some of its Demonic Corrupters retuned. 
5522  It should also be noted that Hunters that attempt to bypass the 
5523  single player portion of the encounter by using another class to do 
5524  their tasks will fail the quest in a most glorious fashion.
5525- Tranquilizing Shot - Is now properly affected by Efficiency and Hawk 
5526  Eye talents.
5527- Unleashed Fury - Fixed a bug where the damage increase was lower than

5531- Volley - Damage increased.
5532- Pet speed has been increased when out of combat and following their

5537  where their pet only partially exists. Unstabled dead pets can now be 
5538  properly revived, and players can no longer train more pets than 
5539  their stable can hold.
5540- Fixed a bug where magic shots were missing too frequently when used 
5541  on a target with Blessing of Protection active.

5552  and armor.

5554- Feedback - Casting a higher rank of the spell will now replace an 
5555  existing, lower level effect.
5556- Unbreakable Will - Fixed a bug that caused many abilities to ignore 
5557  the additional resistance.
5558
5559Rogues
5560- Riposte - Fixed a bug where the ability was not usable against a 
5561  disarmed or unarmed target.
5562- Vanish - Should be a lot more responsive when used to avoid incoming 
5563  attacks.
5564
5565Shaman 
5566- Fixed a bug where Fire Nova, Flametongue, Stoneclaw and Windfury 
5567  Totems had incorrect level caps when cast by higher level shaman.

5569- Flametongue Totem - Tooltip updated to clarify that only the 
5570  main-hand weapon is enchanted.

5577
5578Warlocks

5580  and is no longer reduced by armor.
5581- Improved Voidwalker - Now increases all Voidwalker spells (now also 
5582  including Sacrifice) by 10/20/30%.
5583- Improved Succubus - Now increases Succubus spells by 10/20/30%.
5584- Master Summoner - In addition to decreasing casting time of summoning 
5585  the Imp, Voidwalker, Succubus and Felhunter, it now reduces mana cost 
5586  by 20/40%.
5587- Improved Enslave Demon - In addition to reducing the attack speed and 
5588  casting speed penalty of enslaved demons, it now reduces the resist 
5589  chance of Enslave Demon by 2/4/6/8/10%.
5590- Demonic Sacrifice - Is now instant cast.
5591- Improved Firestone - Now also improves the bonus Fire spell damage of

5593- Inferno - The summoned Infernal will now be enslaved for 5 minutes 
5594  before turning on its summoner.
5595- Drain Mana - Targets with no mana will no longer be valid for Drain 
5596  Mana (Rank 4), making it consistent with all other ranks of the spell.
5597- Improved Drain Mana - Damage caused by this talent is now improved by 
5598  the Shadow Mastery talent.
5599- Conflagrate - Range increased.
5600- Siphon Life - Is now instant cast, damage increased.
5601- Paranoia - No longer causes threat when cast.

5609  the last active pet or the previous pet was killed before the Warlock, 
5610  an Imp will be summoned.
5611- Improved Curse of Agony - Fixed a bug where Curse of Agony (rank 1) 
5612  was not improved by the talent.  The talent will now work properly 
5613  with all ranks of Curse of Agony.
5614
5615Warriors
5616- Overpower - Fixed a bug where the ability was sometimes blocked.
5617- Improved Cleave - Now increases damage bonus by 40/80/120%.

5620  critical strike.
5621- New Fury Talent: Dual Wield Specialization - Increases damage with 
5622  the off-hand weapon by 5/10/15/20/25%.  Note: the additional damage

5625  additional resistance.
5626- Enrage - Increased the number of charges to 12.  Decreased the 
5627  duration to 12 seconds.  The new duration is the limiting factor for 
5628  slower weapons (e.g. Arcanite Reaper will typically get one less 
5629  swing), while dual wielding and faster weapons will make better use 
5630  of all of the charges over the duration of the ability.
5631- Concussion Blow - Changed to an instant, stunning attack and removed 
5632  the damage portion.
5633- Shield Specialization - In addition to increasing % chance to block,

5643  Judgement.
5644- Mature Blue Dragon Sinew and The Eye of Shadow can both now drop off 
5645  appropriate level demonic and blue dragonkin monsters. It should be 
5646  noted that both Lord Kazzak and Azuregos will guarantee a drop of the 
5647  aforementioned items but to get the items from the lesser creatures 
5648  will be a much rarer occurrence.

5697  harder materials than it should.  This has been fixed.

5706   The eruptions from the lava in Ragnaros's Lair will now always 
5707   happen while Ragnaros is in combat. However, these lava eruptions

5747- The Gordok Courtyard Key and the Gordok Inner Door Key are now zone 
5748  bound items.  These items only exist within the Dire Maul zone 
5749  instance, and players will lose these keys from their inventory if 
5750  they leave the zone.
5751- Everyone's favorite Alliance quest, "Deep Ocean, Vast Sea" now gives 
5752  a substantial coin reward in addition to the choice of item.
5753- Rage Scar Yetis in Feralas no longer give the quest item for the 
5754  "Mark of Quality" quest.

5761- Sea Elementals and Sea Sprays in Feralas should now be giving out 
5762  the proper version of Oglethorpe's distress beacon.
5763- The end of the Paladin Epic Mount quest "Grimand's Finest Work" now 
5764  makes it clearer that Lord Shadowbreaker's acquisition of the 
5765  Arcanite Barding is only temporary.
5766- Jeziba in the Ruins of Andorhal now faces the correct direction when 
5767  pointing to his Catalogue of the Wayward.
5768- Fraggar Thundermantle now correctly tells you to return to him, and 
5769  not his evil, two-eyed twin, Frobe Thundermantle when completing the 
5770  Skull Rock Clean-up quest.
5771- The Branch of Cenarius no longer drops off of Prince Raze. It now 
5772  properly only drops off of Geltharis for the quest, The Branch of 
5773  Cenarius.
5774- Failed quests will now indicate (Failed) in the quest log so it is 
5775  easier to see them.
5776- Typos fixed in the Paladin Epic Mount quests.
5777
5778User Interface
5779- Innkeepers around the world now have a gossip option that lets you 
5780  join a meeting stone directly from the innkeeper rather than going to 
5781  the location of the meeting stone. Also these Innkeepers will now 
5782  have background lore about each of the dungeons.
5783- Levels Required for meeting stones have been increased. The intent is 
5784  that a group will not receive party members from a meeting stone that 
5785  don't really have a chance of completing the dungeon.
5786- Meeting Stones have had their rules for what players are grouped with 
5787  what other players relaxed. This means groups who use meeting stones 
5788  (or innkeepers) should have their groups formed much more quickly 
5789  than they were previously.
5790- Pets of other party members will now display in the party UI. You can 
5791  see pet health and harmful effects on the pet. You can turn this
5792  functionality on and off in the Interface Options menu.
5793- Players can now target other players in a raid by clicking on their 
5794  name in the raid window. Additional Raid UI improvements coming soon.
5795- Added visual effects for healing power and spell power enchantments.
5796- Your main action bar now displays the number of the bar that you are 
5797  currently displaying.
5798- In Master Looter mode, items are no longer opened up for looting by 
5799  all party members after the round-robin looter closes their loot 
5800  window. The Loot Master always distributes items over the loot 
5801  threshold.
5802- Rolling on items while charmed/hexed/etc. now works, as does /random 
5803  and receiving items from the master looter.
5804- When a player dies in an instance and then uses the spirit healer, 
5805  the body in the instance now turns to bones.
5806- Players can no longer mail or auction an item that they've just 
5807  disenchanted.
5808- When a ghost player is resurrected into an instance that has become 
5809  full, they no longer come to life wherever their ghost happens to be 
5810  standing. Instead, they get ported to the closest graveyard.
5811- Players must now bind a bind-on-equip bag to put in into a purchased 
5812  bank bag slot.
5813- Items split from stacks can now be dropped directly into (or onto) 
5814  bank bags without any mysterious error messages.
5815- Added a "Maximize" windowed video option which will maximize the game 
5816  window and remove the borders for a fullscreen experience which 
5817  allows popup windows.
5818- Trying to use a hearthstone, consumable, etc. while logging out now
5819  displays a more appropriate message: "Another action is in progress."
5820- The login interface files are now checked to make sure they haven't 
5821  been tampered with or corrupted. This is to improve account security 
5822  in public game rooms.
5823- Added the function TargetNearestPartyMember() to the UI scripting 
5824  system.
5825
5826World Environment
5827- The Thorium Brotherhood faction is now peaceful - players cannot go 
5828  to war with them.
5829- The Wildhammer Clan in the Hinterlands is now a peaceful faction to 
5830  the Alliance, meaning Alliance players cannot intentionally declare 
5831  war on them.
5832- A new graveyard has been added near the east coast of the Hinterlands 
5833  at the Overlook Cliffs.
5834- The two Hinterlands graveyards are now using a system that will 
5835  ensure that the spirits of dead characters go to the closest 
5836  graveyard.
5837- Buliwyf Stonehand, the dwarven weapon master in Ironforge, now 
5838  properly tells you about the weapons that Woo Ping can train you in, 
5839  instead of talking about himself. He does like going on about his 
5840  own martial prowess.
5841- Krinkle Goodsteel of Gadgetzan submitted a complaint to the local 
5842  Repairer's Union and has had his ability to repair durability 
5843  reinstated.
5844- Brave Wildrunner of Bloodhoof Village in Mulgore no longer patrols 
5845  through the kodo mounts.
5846- Added new load screens for Deadmines, Wailing Caverns, Uldaman, 
5847  Razorfen Downs, and Zul Farrak.
5848- Discovering Valor's Rest now also pops the Southwind Village puzzle 
5849  piece on the Silithus area map.
5850- Many of the Swift Mounts have gained eye glows and some have had 
5851  other tweaks made to them to improve their looks.
5852- Additional mithril nodes have been added in Un'Goro crater
5853- Genavie Callow in Undercity is now properly on the Undercity faction.
5854- The Grow effect that Bom'bay in Sen'jin Village would sometimes cast 
5855  on characters was reduced from 100% to 50% growth.
5856- The Lazy Peons in The Valley of Trials now make a wood chopping sound 
5857  when they are hacking at the trees.
5858- The Dark Summoners of the Eastern Plaguelands have finally fully 
5859  materialized and are no longer ghostly in appearance.
5860- In Silverpine Forest on Fenris Island, moved a Rot Hide Plague 
5861  Weaver's spawn point from inside a tree.
5862- Neeka Bloodscar of Kargath no longer speaks as if she is in the

5907PvP Honor System 
5908  The Player versus Player Honor System is now active. Players will be 
5909  able to gain rankings based on their PvP performance, with lucrative 
5910  rewards for those who distinguish themselves on the field of battle! 
5911  Read more about the PvP Honor system. 
5912  
5913Children's Week 
5914  Children's Week is celebrated in Orgrimmar and Stormwind City at the 
5915  start of May and lasts for a week. It is a time to give back to the 
5916  innocents of war: the orphans! 
5917  
5918Gurubashi Arena event 
5919  There is now a regular event in Gurubashi Arena in Stranglethorn 
5920  Vale. Every three hours starting at midnight, a pirate with too 
5921  much treasure on his hands will drop a chest in the center of the 
5922  arena. Whoever can open the chest first gets the contents! Of course, 
5923  the arena is a PvP Free for All area, so there might be other players 
5924  who are trying to open it first... 
5925 
5926Elemental invasions! 
5927  Invasions by elementals at different locations on Kalimdor have 
5928  reportedly been occurring sporadically every few days. Concerned 
5929  adventurers should investigate Silithus, Un'Goro Crater, Azshara, 
5930  and Winterspring to counter these incursions. 
5931
5932General 
5933- Charm and Polymorph mechanics can now be reactively countered by 
5934  spells and abilities (e.g. Druid Shapeshifting will now cancel 
5935  Polymorph effects). 
5936- Mana regeneration is now disrupted when a spell has completed casting 
5937  rather than at the start of casting. It will resume normally five 
5938  seconds after the last spell cast. This change increases the total 
5939  time spent regenerating mana and therefore increases the total 
5940  contribution from Spirit for mana-based classes. 
5941- Level 60 mounts purchased at vendors now have a whole new look. 
5942  Faster undead mounts already have a different look and so have not 
5943  changed. The new mounts can be seen standing near the mount vendors. 
5944  If you have one of the old fast mounts, you can exchange it for one 
5945  with a new look at the mount vendor. 
5946- Healing-over-time spells should now be improved by "+Healing" items 
5947  when cast on other players. 
5948- Mind Controlled characters will no longer receive a durability 
5949  penalty when they die. 
5950- When a non-Hunter resurrects a pet, the pet will no longer receive 
5951  resurrection sickness. 
5952
5953PvP 
5954- A handful of spells were added to the list of spells subject to 
5955  diminishing returns in PvP. It is our goal to set as few spells as 
5956  possible to be diminished. We've identified this short list of spells
5957  as having durations and cooldowns sufficient to almost permanently 
5958  slow or immobilize targets but without adequate controls or other 
5959  limiting factors. When a spell with diminishing returns is used 
5960  against a target in PvP, the first effect has full duration. On the 
5961  second use of the same category of spell (e.g. slowing), that spell's 
5962  duration is reduced by 50%. On the third use, the duration is reduced 
5963  by 75%. On the fourth attempt, the target becomes immune to the 
5964  spell. Spells must be used on the same target within 15 seconds of the 
5965  *end* of the duration in order to be diminished. In other words, if a 
5966  target hasn't had a slowing spell active on them for more than 15 
5967  seconds, the next slowing spell will have full effect. The list of 
5968  affected spells is: 
5969    Frost Shock 
5970    Entangling Roots 
5971    Frost Nova 
5972- Guard directions, signs and signposts have been added to point you 
5973  toward the PvP Officer Lounges in Stormwind City (Champions' Hall) 
5974  and Orgrimmar (Hall of Legends). 
5975 
5976Racial Traits 
5977- Blood Fury - Now increases base melee attack power by 25% for 15 
5978  seconds. When it fades base melee attack power is reduced by 25% for 
5979  45 seconds. 
5980- Perception - Increased detection bonus. 
5981- Berserking - Is now usable after being the target of a critical hit. 
5982  Increases melee, ranged and spell casting speed by 25% but increases 
5983  all damage taken by 10% for the duration. 
5984 
5985Druids 
5986- Ravage and Shred now properly increase the attack power contribution 
5987  by the percent modifier. 
5988- Shapeshifting into an animal form will now remove Polymorph effects. 
5989- Feral Charge - Fixed a bug where the ability cost 10 rage instead of 
5990  five as intended. Should now cost five rage. 
5991- Entangling Roots - Now subject to diminishing returns in PvP. This is 
5992  considered an immobilizing effect. 
5993
5994Hunters 
5995- A new Hunter epic quest series is now in the game and waiting to be 
5996  found. 
5997- Scatter Shot (Talent) - Now usable while moving and no longer 
5998  interrupts ranged combat. Now properly reduces the ranged attack 
5999  power contribution by the percent modifier. 
6000- Highland Striders no longer have Cower (Rank 3) when tamed. 
6001- New Pet Ability: Dive - Increases movement speed for a short 
6002  duration. 
6003- New Pet Ability: Dash - Increases movement speed for a short duration. 
6004- Freezing Trap - Visual changed. 
6005- Track Hidden - Increased stealth detection. 
6006- Scorpid Sting - Fixed a bug where it was not considered a poison. It 
6007  can now be removed by poison curing effects. 
6008- Aspect of the Cheetah/Pack - These Aspects will now be canceled when 
6009  mounted. 
6010- Viper Sting - This spell can no longer be used on warrior and rogue 
6011  targets. In addition, while it can be used on a druid target at any 
6012  time it will only drain mana when the druid is in caster form. 
6013
6014Mages 
6015- Amplify Magic and Dampen Magic effects should now replace each other 
6016  properly. 
6017- Improved Scorch (Talent) - Redesign. Scorch spells have a 
6018  20/40/60/80/100% chance to cause your target to be vulnerable to Fire 
6019  damage. This vulnerability increases the Fire damage dealt to your 
6020  target by 2% and can be stacked up to 5 times for a total of 10% 
6021  increased Fire damage. 
6022- New Spell: Arcane Brilliance (available at level 56 - Loot) - Infuses 
6023  the target's party with brilliance, increasing their Intellect. 
6024- Improved Mana Shield - Design changed. Instead of increasing the 
6025  amount absorbed, it now decreases the mana lost per point of damage 
6026  taken by 10/20%. 
6027- An error message is now displayed if you try to use Blink on boats 
6028  and zeppelins. 
6029- Wand Specialization - Fixed a bug where the damage increase with this 
6030  talent was higher than the listed amount. 
6031- Frost Nova - Now subject to diminishing returns in PvP. This is 
6032  considered an immobilizing effect. 
6033- Pyroblast and Fireball damage over time will now stack together. 
6034
6035Paladins 
6036- Seal of Wisdom and Seal of Light should now replace each other 
6037  properly as well as stack properly when used by different paladins. 
6038- Paladin Epic Mount quest added. To begin, talk to the paladin 
6039  trainers Duthroian Rall or Brandur Ironhammer. 
6040- Paladins who have completed their Epic Mount quest can repeat the 
6041  final event in Scholomance for fun (and loot) by speaking with Lord 
6042  Grayson Shadowbreaker. 
6043- Sanctity Aura - Fixed a bug where the spell/talent was unlearned 
6044  after logging out if learned before level 40. 
6045- Resistance Auras - Paladins should now be able to switch from a 
6046  resistance aura to any other resistance aura without canceling the 
6047  current one first. 
6048- Improved Seal of Justice - Fixed a bug that caused the talent to 
6049  have no effect. It will now increase the frequency that the stun 
6050  effect will land. 
6051
6052Priests 
6053- A new Priest epic quest series is now in the game and waiting to 
6054  be found. 
6055- Levitate - Duration and mana cost increased. 
6056- Touch of Weakness - Should now be affected by the Blackout, Darkness, 
6057  Force of Will, Shadow Focus, Shadow Weaving and Silent Resolve 
6058  talents. 
6059- Starshards - Should now be affected by the Focused Casting, Force of
6060  Will, and Silent Resolve talents. 
6061- Holy Fire - Should now be affected by the Focused Casting talent. 
6062- Mind Flay - Should now be affected by the Focused Casting talent. 
6063- Desperate Prayer - Should now be affected by the Holy Specialization 
6064  talents. 
6065- Vampiric Embrace - Active icon tooltip rewritten to be more clear. 
6066- Holy Nova - Now causes an explosion of holy light around the caster, 
6067  causing Holy damage to all enemy targets within 10 yards and healing 
6068  all party members within 10 yards. These effects now cause no threat 
6069  as opposed to reducing threat temporarily. 
6070- Holy Fire - Several changes were made to Holy Fire in an effort to 
6071  make this a more usable and efficient damage spell. The cast time was 
6072  reduced from five seconds to four seconds, which reduces the damage 
6073  caused. Therefore, the damage was increased and more of the spell's 
6074  potency was shifted into the damage-over-time portion. The duration 
6075  was also increased and mana cost and cooldown were both decreased. 
6076  While the direct damage portion was reduced slightly from the 
6077  previous version, each tick of damage should be unchanged, and the 
6078  spell now delivers one additional tick of damage. In total, the 
6079  relative damage and efficiency of the spell has been increased. 
6080- Wand Specialization - Fixed a bug where the damage increase with this 
6081  talent was too high. 
6082
6083Rogues 
6084- Combo points will no longer be removed if the target is deselected. 
6085  They will only be removed if a different target is selected. 
6086- Fixed a bug where combo points were not always being applied to the 
6087  target when using Cheap Shot, Ambush and Garrote. 
6088- Vanish - Increased stealth bonus. 
6089- Ambush, Backstab, Ghostly Strike, and Riposte now properly increase 
6090  the attack power contribution by the percent modifier. 
6091- The Kick ability prevents the target from casting spells in the same 
6092  school when channeled casting is interrupted. 
6093- If using Gouge triggers the Stormshroud Armor lightning effect, the 
6094  Gouge effect will no longer be instantly interrupted. 
6095- The Rogue trainers will now point the player to an appropriate area 
6096  with boxes to unlock depending on the lockpicking skill of the player. 
6097- Preparation - Will now clear the cooldown of the Blade Flurry ability. 
6098- Riposte - Fixed a bug that prevented the ability from being used when 
6099  the target had no weapon or was already disarmed. 
6100 
6101Shaman 
6102- Earth Shock - The visual for ranks two through seven has been changed 
6103  to be consistent with rank one. 
6104- Windfury - Fixed a bug that caused an additional attack beyond what 
6105  was intended. In addition, fixed a bug that caused the next normal 
6106  melee attack to happen sooner than intended. 
6107- Level 58+ Shaman should talk to Sagorne Creststrider in Orgrimmar; 
6108  there is a special quest for them involving a dreaded death knight 
6109  who dwells in the depths of the Scholomance. 
6110- Frost Shock - Now subject to diminishing returns in PvP. This is 
6111  considered a slowing effect. 
6112- Grounding Totem - Should no longer redirect area effect spells or 
6113  be destroyed by area effects spells. 
6114 
6115Warlocks 
6116- Warlock Epic Mount quest added. To begin, speak with a demon trainer 
6117  in any of the capital cities: Kurgal, Martha Strain, Spackle 
6118  Thornberry, or Jubahl Corpseeker. 
6119- The Warlock Infernal quest is now available and can be found in 
6120  Felwood. 
6121- The Warlock Ritual of Doom quest is now available and can be found in
6122  the Tainted Scar. 
6123- The succubus model has been updated. 
6124- Paranoia (Felhunter) - Increased stealth detection. 
6125- Seduction (Succubus) - Is now considered a Fear effect for purposes 
6126  of diminishing returns. 
6127
6128Warriors 
6129- Thunder Clap - Visual and animation changed. 
6130
6131Items 
6132- The following set items have had their art updated:

6134  parts of the Warrior "Might" set, Lightforge Helm, Helm of Valor, 
6135  Dreadmist Mask, Wildheart Cowl and Pauldrons, and Coif of Elements. 
6136  Other class sets will receive updated art in future patches. 
6137- Random world items that had increased healing effects were 
6138  mislabeled, and the amount of increased healing appeared to be half 
6139  of what was actually occurring. The amount shown on the item is now 
6140  an accurate representation of the healing increase. 
6141- The Celestial Orb and Robe of the Archmage will no longer trigger 
6142  the cooldowns of a Mage's mana gems. Mana gems are now on their own 
6143  unique cooldown category. 
6144- Tiny Black Whelping item changed to Dark Whelpling to reflect the 
6145  name of the creature summoned. 
6146- Fixed a typo in the aura description for the Mighty Rage potion. 
6147- +Spell damage and +Healing effects have been increased in 
6148  effectiveness to make them more attractive to players. Effects that 
6149  increased damage and healing done by all magical spells received the 
6150  largest increase, especially if the previous amount was small. We 
6151  also fixed a couple bugs relating to these effects. 
6152- Pimgib's Collar is now unique. 
6153- Frayed Abomination Stichings are now considered to be uncommon items. 
6154- Fordring's Seal has been improved with additional Stamina and

6165- Tooltips for the Blazefury Medallion, Storm Gauntlets, Fiery Plate 
6166  Gauntlets Blessed Sunfruit, Blessed Sunfruit Juice, and ragged John's 
6167  Neverending Cup modified to more appropriately describe their effects. 
6168- The Amberseal Keeper's melee DPS has been reduced, but an additional 
6169  +Spell Damage effect has been added instead. 
6170- Onyxia Hide Backpacks are now 18 slot containers.

6186  blacksmiths via a series of turn-in quests.

6188  All 3 recipes are gained via quest. 
6189- The Turtle Scale gloves recipe has been changed to have a white name 
6190  rather than green since it can now be purchased at the store. 
6191  Generally, recipes with white names are store-bought and ones with 
6192  green or blue (or purple) names are drops from monsters.

6203  rather than a resistance increase. 
6204- Minor Recombobulator now restores health and mana as well as removing 
6205  polymorph effects.

6207  attack them for the first 5 seconds after they are dropped.

6215
6216Raids & Dungeons

6225  unpossessed will now have full health, and after the Baroness 
6226  unpossesses a player there will be a much longer cooldown before she 
6227  can cast possess again. These changes should make her a more balanced 
6228  encounter for a 5 man group. 
6229- Lava Surgers no longer respawn once you kill Garr. 
6230- When Majordomo Executus submits, a chest is spawned next to him. This

6233  should spawn. 
6234- Ragnaros now stays up 2 hours rather than 1 after being summoned. 
6235- The Golemagg and Shazzrah encounters in the Molten Core has undergone

6250     have all received some new items on their loot tables. 
6251   * Onyxia will once again drop two upper tier class set helms. 
6252   * Most of the non-class set items that dropped from Molten Core and 
6253     Onyxia have had their effective levels increased, resulting in 
6254     higher DPS weapons, and/or better stats and effects. 
6255   * Players who defeat the Majordomo Executus encounter will now be 
6256     rewarded with new epic items. This reward will only be granted the 
6257     first time the encounter is defeated during the 6 day lifespan of 
6258     a Molten Core instance. 
6259   * The loot tables for some of the Molten Core bosses have been 
6260     improved so they drop an additional epic item per kill. 
6261   * World bosses such as Onyxia, Azuregos, and Lord Kazzak will no 
6262     longer drop random blue items of a level lower than 50. 
6263   * Prior to this patch, Molten Core boss creatures could drop items 
6264     from one of two different tiered sets for every character class. 
6265     The loot tables have been changed so Molten Core bosses will now 
6266     only drop items from the lower tier class sets. However, some of 
6267     the items from those sets were not previously dropping in Molten 
6268     Core. These missing class set items will now drop in Molten Core, 
6269     allowing players to complete their lower tier class sets. The 
6270     higher tier class set pieces that once dropped in Molten Core will 
6271     be found once again in Blackwing Lair, the next raiding zone 
6272     scheduled for release in a future patch. 
6273   * Future patches will include even more item rewards for these raid 
6274     encounters, as well as improvements to the statistics, effects, 
6275     and set bonuses for both tiers of the raid armor sets. 
6276  
6277Quests

6279  quest that multiple party members have, it will display a mouseover 
6280  tooltip indicating what nearby party member are on that quest. Also, 
6281  to the left of the quest name in your quest log it will list a 
6282  number in parenthesis indicating how many other players in your party 
6283  have that quest. 
6284- Quest givers who have repeatable quests now display with a blue 
6285  question mark over their head instead of the standard yellow 
6286  exclamation point/question mark.

6288  inside the Molten Core to Blackrock Depths.

6327  mouseover on objects underneath the interface window (Thus making it

6329  things). 
6330

6332- Andorhal has been overhauled to improve framerate, navigability, and 
6333  monster spawns.

6465- the Vertex Animation Shader feature is disabled for GPU's such as

6467  functionality in a future patch.
6468- New code optimizations were added to improve frame rate and reduce
6469  memory usage.
6470
6471
6472--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6473- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.3.1 (2005-03-24)
6474--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6475
6476- We have fixed a crash bug that would happen infrequently when
6477  teleporting.

6479
6480
6481--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6482- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.3.0 (2005-03-22)
6483--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6484
6485Diremaul
6486  Diremaul, a new dungeon for players level 56-60, is now open and
6487  ready for business. Diremaul is populated by a fierce tribe of ogres
6488  and is located in the western region of Feralas. Diremaul will be
6489  limited groups of no more than five players each.
6490 
6491New Outdoor Raid Bosses
6492  Two new outdoor raid bosses have been introduced to Azeroth. 
6493  Azuregos, a monstrous blue dragon, has landed in Azshara, while
6494  Lord Kazzak the demon can be found in the Tainted Scar of the Blasted
6495  Lands. 
6496 
6497Meeting Stones
6498  Meeting Stones are located outside of each dungeon to help players 
6499  find a group to adventure with in the dungeon. The meeting stone will 
6500  try to find you a viable five-person group by looking for a tank, a 
6501  healer, and so on. As time passes and you are unable to find a group, 
6502  the meeting stone will become less picky about who it groups you with.
6503
6504Dungeon Player Caps
6505  All dungeons now have a cap on group size to limit the number of 
6506  players that may enter the dungeon. It was necessary to add this cap
6507  as raiding these dungeons trivialized much of the content. Because of
6508  this change we can now look to adding better loot to them during future
6509  content patches.
6510
6511  With that in mind, the dungeons below now have the following caps:
6512  Onyxia/Molten Core - 40 members
6513  Blackrock Spire - 15 members
6514  Diremaul -  5 members
6515  All other dungeons in the game will be capped at 10 members.
6516  Several dungeons will be re-examined for balancing in light of this
6517  change.  In addition, will have their loot improved significatnly for
6518  the next content patch.
6519
6520 General
6521- Previously, in many cases, a Block, Parry, or Dodge was translated 
6522  into a "Miss," thus causing confusion over actual miss rates.  We've 
6523  made the following changes in an attempt to be more clear as to what 
6524  is  actually happening in combat:
6525   * Block: All creatures will now report a Block on attacks from the 
6526     front, reducing damage caused instead of converting the attack into
6527     a "Miss." Creatures will no longer be able to Block attacks from 
6528     behind.
6529   * Dodge: Every time a creature Dodges, it will report a Dodge. We 
6530     will no longer translate a creature's Dodge of a rear attack to a 
6531     "Miss."
6532   * Parry:  All creatures will now report a Parry on attacks from the 
6533     front instead of translating them into a "Miss." Creatures will no 
6534     longer be able to Parry attacks from behind.  
6535- Blocking an ability that takes place on the next swing now blocks the
6536  normal amount of damage instead of all of it.
6537- Skill-up rate improved for bows, crossbows, guns, thrown, and wands.
6538- Improved line of sight for large creatures.
6539- In-game mail sent from GMs will now use official Blizzard stationery.
6540- The Drunk effect has been greatly enhanced.
6541- If you resurrect without releasing your spirit, your resurrection 
6542  timer will decrease normally.
6543- You can no longer accept a warlock summoning while you are in combat.
6544- Increased stun resistance will now also help resist some non-melee 
6545  based stun spells from creatures.
6546- Mounts now are Horde or Alliance restricted in the tooltip. We do 
6547  not intend to allow Horde players to ride Alliance vendor-purchased 
6548  mounts and vice versa.
6549
6550 PvP
6551- Most humanoids NPCs have gained the ability to swim.
6552- Numbers and punctuation will not be passed through chat communication 
6553  to members of the opposing faction.
6554- Spells in PvP now have a slight increase in range and area of effect 
6555  when targets are moving. This should improve the overall usability of 
6556  spells and ranged attacks.
6557- Priests can no longer kill players with Shadow Word: Pain and Mind 
6558  Control in duels.
6559- Certain key NPCs (such as bankers and auctioneers) in the cities and
6560  main outposts are now harder to kill. Additionally, when they die, 
6561  they will respawn more quickly.
6562- Patrolling scouts that can see through stealth and invisibility have 
6563  been added to both Orgrimmar and Ironforge.
6564- Players under Mind Control pass reputation changes due to kills to 
6565  the controlling player, and do not receive the reputation
6566  changes themselves.
6567- You cannot see your enemies' buffs while you are charmed.
6568- Dueling players can now cast helpful spells on their allies 
6569  (but not vice versa).
6570  
6571 Druid
6572- Training costs adjusted. Total training cost was decreased.
6573- Rebirth - Casting time and mana cost reduced; now ignores 
6574  resurrection timers.
6575- Swiftshifting - Talent changed. When leaving a shapeshift form, the 
6576  next shapeshift form you take will have a 20%/40%/60% mana cost 
6577  reduction if used within 6 seconds.
6578- Gift of the Wild - This spell is now cast on the target's party.
6579- Cat Form - DPS increase at levels 40-60.
6580- New Ability (Cat Form): Ferocious Bite (available at level 32) - 
6581  Finishing move that causes damage per combo point and converts each 
6582  extra point of energy into additional damage.
6583- New Spell: Barkskin (available at level 44) - The druid's skin 
6584  becomes as tough as bark.  Physical damage taken is reduced. While 
6585  protected, taking damage will not cause spellcasting delays, but 
6586  non-instant spells take longer to cast and melee combat is slowed.
6587- New Ability (Bear Form): Frenzied Regeneration (available at level 
6588  36) - Converts an amount of rage into health every second for a 
6589  short duration.
6590

6594- Fixed a bug where Hunter pets were sometimes unattackable by opposing 
6595  faction players.
6596- Fixed a bug where creatures were keeping their innate resistances 
6597  after being tamed.  This was unintentional and the fix will affect 
6598  all existing pets.
6599- Distracting Shot - Is now properly improved by the Efficiency and 
6600  Hawk Eye talents.
6601- You can no longer use Eyes of the Beast to leave a flight path.
6602
6603 Mage

6644  These areas are in place for rogues to visit to increase their

6647  experience while increasing lockpicking skill. The difficulty of the 
6648  locks in the area correspond to the level of the zone, so if your 
6649  lockpicking skill is around 100, you would go to Durnholde Keep in

7158  uses a /say or /yell chat command, it is displayed in the game screen 
7159  by default as a chat bubble as well as in the chat log. It displays 
7160  above the head of the character talking, but only if you can see the 
7161  character. This functionality can be turned off should you desire. 
7162  This functionality also exists for party chat, but is turned off by

7185  looting money, other players may loot the money.
7186- Targeting with the tab key has been fixed so hitting tab will acquire 
7187  creatures in a cone up to 30 yards in front of you or a circle 10 
7188  yards around you. It no longer only hits targets off to your left.
7189- When you are using group loot or need before greed looting systems 
7190  and are looting a bind on pick up item, the "This item will bind to 
7191  you" yes/no dialog box pops up after you click the "roll dice" 
7192  button, but before it accepts your roll.

7207  inviting players into groups.  
7208- The guild interface remembers whether or not to show offline members

7220  that it can't find a path to.

7222  turning.  
7223- Riding Kodos have new icons for when you are mounted.
7224- NPC chat log color changed to light yellow by default instead of gray, 
7225  which was not very readable.
7226- If you have files in the Interface\FrameXML folder, they will be 
7227  moved to Interface\FrameXML.old after a patch.  
7228- After the game is patched, you will be prompted to disable addons 
7229  that are out of date.  
7230- Added IsMovable(), SetMovable(), IsResizable(), SetResizable() member 
7231  functions to frames in the scripting system.  
7232- Added the "pcall" and "xpcall" functions to the UI scripting system.
7233- The .toc file for addons supports a new keyword: "DefaultState," 
7234  which can be enabled or disabled, and specifies whether or not an 
7235  addon is enabled or disabled by default when first installed.
7236 
7237 World Environment
7238- The bridges in northern Stranglethorn Vale are now fixed so they will 
7239  not dismount you when you ride across them.
7240- The names of many more points of interest have been added to various
7241  area maps.

7247  objects.

7252  letting them know that they need to enter the instance before they 
7253  will be able to resurrect.
7254- The Argent Dawn base at the southern edge of the Western Plaguelands

7256- Quartermaster Miranda Breechlock in Eastern Plaguelands is now in a 
7257  more accessible position. 
7258- Krinkle Goodsteel in Gadgetzan no longer repairs durability damage.

7260  share a nearby shop, are still more than happy to provide their 
7261  durability repair services.
7262- Reagent Vendors have been added to Feathermoon Stronghold and Camp

7286  points instead of one.
7287- You can no longer disenchant an item while you have the disenchant 
7288  loot window open for another item, which caused you to lose the 
7289  original item and its loot.

7291- Fixed bug where melee weapon abilities were causing durability 
7292  damage to ranged weapons.
7293- Fixed a bug where abilities that give extra attacks, like the paladin
7294  Reckoning talent, could cause the following swing to take longer than 
7295  it should.
7296- Fixed a bug where instant melee attacks were not blockable.
7297- Fixed a bug where "On Next Swing" melee attacks (e.g. Heroic Strike)
7298  that were blocked were fully blocked instead of having their damage 
7299  reduced by the block amount.
7300- Fixed a bug where off-hand attacks were being skipped when using 
7301  "On Next Swing" melee attacks.
7302- Fixed a bug where Ammo Pouch and Quiver bonuses were stacking 
7303  together.  Now only the better bonus should be considered.
7304- Fixed a bug where Quivers and Ammo Pouches were granting a larger

7337- Removed unnecessary happiness icon for warlock pets

7356- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.2.4 (2005-02-22)
7357--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7358 
7359- We have deployed a client-side change that should improve 
7360  performance when large numbers of players are gathered in a small 
7361  area of the world. No other changes are included with this emergency 
7362  patch.

7368
7369  PvP Duels
7370  Dueling across factions remains intact in the patch, in consideration
7371  of players' desires to duel members of the opposing faction.
7372  
7373  *This is a minor patch to address localization issues discovered 
7374  during the European beta test. These changes affect localized text 
7375  strings for French and German versions of the game only, and players 
7376  in other regions will not see any changes to the game.
7377
7378
7379--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7380- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.2.2 (2005-02-15)
7381--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7382  
7383  Paladin
7384  Seal of the Crusader: Fixed a bug where damage per swing was 
7385  increasing instead of decreasing when Seal of the Crusader was active.
7386  This resulted in a dramatic increase in damage per second (DPS) that 
7387  was unintended.  The tooltip for the spell displays the intent of 
7388  the spell:
7389
7390  "Fills the Paladin with the spirit of a crusader, granting additional 
7391  attack power.  The Paladin also attacks faster, but deals less damage 
7392  with each attack."
7393
7394  The overall increase in DPS from Seal of the Crusader should only 
7395  result from the increase in attack power and not from the increase in 
7396  attack speed.  We understand this is a significant decrease in the 
7397  power of this spell, but was a necessary bug fix to ensure both 
7398  overall game balance and the viability of different Paladin Seals.
7399
7400
7401  Localization
7402- Various text strings and audio have been corrected for the French and
7403  German versions of the game.
7404
7405
7406  Macs
7407- Fixed a bug that incorrectly enabled the vertex animation shader 
7408  option on some GPU's that do not support it. This bug was causing 
7409  player character models in-game and in the character selection screen 
7410  to appear invisible or distorted.  The fix should benefit users with 
7411  NVIDIA GeForce 2MX or 4MX GPU's and ATI Radeon 7000/7500 GPU's.  It 
7412  should no longer be necessary to manually turn off the vertex 
7413  animation feature on these systems - it should now be off and 
7414  disabled automatically.
7415
7416
7417  Bug Fixes
7418- Group loot has been fixed to work as originally intended. It will now
7419  work exactly like round robin does, with the exception that when an 
7420  item of threshold level or above drops, it will use the auto-rolling 
7421  system. (Prior to this fix, when in group loot mode, the round robin 
7422  system was only being used for items (all players could loot coins), 
7423  which was rather confusing).
7424- Fixed a group loot permission bug that was telling players they did 
7425  not have permission to loot.
7426- Fixed a bug that was causing the game to freeze when scrolling 
7427  through auctions in the Auction House.
7428- Murlocs play the drown animation when they die underwater now.
7429- Onyxia correctly hovers instead of standing in midair.
7430- You can target vocal emotes again.
7431- Pets and summoned creatures attacking enemies will now tap the 
7432  enemies for their owners.
7433- Fixed a bug with Troll Shamans and the Berserk ability. Troll Shamans 
7434  can only go Berserk when they are in the wounded state.
7435- Rogues now correctly gain Lockpicking skill from items picked in the 
7436  trade window.
7437- Quests that require you to follow/escort an NPC will only complete 
7438  when you arrive at the designated area.
7439- Horde and Alliance members cannot duel with each other regardless of 
7440  realm type.
7441- Herbs and mineral nodes will remain active if they are not fully 
7442  emptied.
7443- Fixed a bug that was giving higher damage-per-second (DPS) to 
7444  Steelarrow Crossbow and Blackcrow than was intended.
7445- Sell prices on Hypnotic Blade, Illusionary Rod, Mantle of Doan, and 
7446  Robe of Doan have been lowered.
7447- Players who have completed the quest to summon Kirtonos may now 
7448  obtain the Blood of Innocents from Doctor Theolen Krastinov.
7449- The tooltip for the Warrior's Intercept ability has been updated to 
7450  reflect the proper rage cost. Using Intercept now requires 10 rage, 
7451  not 15 rage. The tooltip now accurately reflects that.

7474
7475 New Dungeon - Maraudon
7476  In the vast gray of Desolace lies the earthen tomb of Zaetar, fallen 
7477  Keeper of the Grove and son of Cenarius.  Zaetar rejected his Keeper 
7478  heritage when he joined with the princess of the chaotic earth 
7479  elementals, Theradras. Their unholy union gave birth to the misshapen 
7480  and cursed centaur, who promptly slew their father for his part in 
7481  their misbegotten creation. Fearful of Cenarius' wrath, the 
7482  grief-stricken Theradras sequestered her dead lover's body in her 
7483  secret sanctuary, the Crystal Caverns of Therramok, where she watches 
7484  over him to this day. Travelers who come to Desolace have little 
7485  trouble spotting Zaetar's tomb, for the blessing of nature that 
7486  permeates his being transformed his resting place into a verdant 
7487  paradise of flora and tranquil pools. Today, this tomb is now trodden 
7488  by the hooves of Zaetar's children, who have claimed this great cavern 
7489  as their sacred stronghold Maraudon.
7490
7491  Maraudon, a level 40-49 dungeon in Desolace, is now open and ready for
7492  business.
7493
7494
7495 Cloak & Helm Graphics
7496  There are now interface options that let you not display your helm 
7497  and/or cloak on your character. These options will allow a player to wear a 
7498  cloak or helm, but not have it show up in the game world. The check 
7499  boxes to control this functionality are in the Options menu under 
7500  "Interface Options."

7505  they die during battle.
7506- Players will now be able to purchase and train mounts from other 
7507  races in their faction.  However, you will first need to obtain 
7508  "exalted" reputation status with that race in order to do so.

7511  in looking for group functionality will be added in future patches.
7512- Daze chance has been reduced in degrees depending on the level of the 
7513  monster versus the level of the player.  Thus, a monster will have a

7515  player five levels higher.
7516- If you die in Molten Core, you will now be able to retrieve your 
7517  corpse at the Blackrock Depths instance line.

7549- Gurubashi Arena - The arena in Stranglethorn Vale has been changed so 
7550  that free-for-all PvP will only take place on the floor of the arena, 
7551  and no longer in the stands or on the entrance ramp.  Please keep in

7554  contested area.

8010 New Kodo mounts!
8011  There is but one creature in all of Kalimdor that possesses the 
8012  strength and stamina to bear a tauren rider into battle: the 
8013  majestic kodo beast. Swifter and slightly smaller than their 
8014  wild cousins, kodo mounts nevertheless demonstrate the same 
8015  resilience and fearlessness found in their untamed brethren, traits 
8016  that serve them well when bearing their equally resolute riders. It 
8017  is said that only the most virtuous of tauren can win the affection 
8018  of a kodo war mount, for these mighty beasts only serve those that 
8019  approach them with honor and respect in 
8020  their hearts.
8021
8022  Tauren players will no longer have the Plainsrunning ability, due

8027  purchasing mounts from different races regarding of reputation, this
