The upcoming major content patch, Call of the Crusade, will bring a host of new features for World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.

Argent Tournament

• The Argent Tournament Expands: With the help of Azeroth's heroes, the Argent Crusade will finish the Argent Coliseum just in time to call for all brave citizens to prepare for battle with the Lich King. New dailies, rewards, and more will be available at the Argent Tournament grounds to lure adventurers into the coliseum.
  • Two new quest hubs will be added: A Cult of the Damned encampment above the tournament grounds, and Hrothgar's Landing on an island off the northern coast of Icecrown, where the kvaldir attack Silver Covenant and Sunreaver vessels.
  • New rewards: Those who obtain the title of Crusader will be given new daily quests. Other rewards include a new pet ( [Shimmering Wyrmling]), tabards for the Silver Covenant (Alliance) and Sunreavers (Horde), new mounts (Quel'dorei Steed and  [Silver Covenant Hippogryph] for Alliance, Sunreaver Hawkstrider and  [Sunreaver Dragonhawk] for Horde), an upgraded Argent Crusade tabard that allows teleportation to the tournament grounds, a paladin-only Argent Crusade charger, a mounted  [Argent Squire]/ [Argent Gruntling] (summonable every eight hours, lasts three minutes) that allows access to bank, mail and vendor services, and new heirloom items.
  • The Black Knight Returns: Just when you thought you had seen the last of the Black Knight, he makes his astonishing return to Tournament. Wait, didn’t you kill him?

• Crusaders' Coliseum: In order to prepare for a siege on Icecrown Citadel, players will be called by the Argent Crusade to test their mettle in the Coliseum. 5-player, 10-player, and 25-player challenges await inside.

PvP

Battlegrounds

• New Battleground: Isle of Conquest, a new large-scale siege Battleground, will be open. The Horde and Alliance will battle head-to-head for control of strategic resources to lay siege to the keeps of their opponents.

Arenas

• New Arena Season: Season 7 will officially start, paving the way for all-new items and challenges.

Classes

Druid

• Druids will find a host of new textures for two major forms, cat and bear. There will be five different designs for each of these forms for the Horde and Alliance. Night elves can choose to change their cat and bear look at any time by visiting the barber shop and changing their character's hair color, while tauren will be able to change which look they use by switching skin tones in the barber shop -- a new feature for tauren in the next major content patch. Given that there are more hair colors and skin tones than unique form looks, some colors and tones will overlap with these new textures. The hair and skin colors chosen will, in most cases, correspond with the color seen in the look of each form. Some similar colors that may share a particular cat texture will not necessarily share the same bear texture.

Professions

Alchemy

• Added a new pattern for Flask of the North, usable by players with a high alchemy skill. The recipe is purchased from the honor potion vendor. The Flask of the North increases your spell power, attack power, or Strength for 1 hour, and is usable in arenas. It is not consumed when used.
• Endless Healing Potion and Endless Mana Potion no longer usable in arenas. Amount of health and mana has been increased, and the cooldown reduced. They are still usable everywhere else.

Jewelcrafting

Like other gems, they will have to match the socket color to receive a socket bonus. When this change occurs, players with qualifying jewelcrafting skill will be provided a yet to be determined amount of Dalaran Jewelecrafter Tokens as compensation.
