Paladin

Warlock

  • Warlocks now start with an imp minion.
  • Warlock pets have been renamed.

Mounts

  • All mounts now scale with riding skill - level 20 60% mounts will now move at 100% speed with epic riding.

Dungeons

  • The reward of killing a boss in a WotLK Dungeon at Heroic difficulty is 16 Justice Points.
  • Though not displayed in the Dungeon Finder Interface Screen, completing your first Random Lich King Heroic Dungeon each day using the Dungeon Finder will award 23 Justice Points, in addition to the 16 Justice Points earned for each boss killed.
  • Completing a weekly raid quest will be rewarded with 137 Justice Points.

Professions

  • Herbalism and Mining give XP. The higher level the char is, the lower the received XP will be.
  • Tiffany Cartier no longer exchanges Titanium Powder for Dalaran Jewelcrafter's Tokens (POSSIBLY A BUG)
  • Master Riding is available from Northrend Riding trainers at a cost of 5000g, allowing all flying mounts to scale to 310% speed. Characters that already have a 310% speed flying mount are given this skill automatically and free of charge. Note that reputation discounts apply to the trainers in the Northrend starting areas!
  • Spell frost arcticwinds [Cold Weather Flying] is now available to all characters at level 68 for 500g.
  • Trade engineering [Nitro Boosts] no longer increase crit rating, but can now be used alongside other enchants.
  • If you previously had a Tailoring specialization in Mooncloth Tailoring, now when crafting Inv fabric moonshroud [Moonshroud] you will only get one piece instead of two. This is consistent in Inv fabric spellweave [Spellweave] and Inv fabric ebonweave [Ebonweave] crafting also.

Items

  • Some former Guardian Elixirs are now Battle Elixirs.
  • Scrolls are now considered Battle Elixirs, and will overwrite existing Battle Elixirs.

  • If you must kill a mob or talk to an NPC, the picture of the mob or NPC will be clearly displayed.
  • Quest:Spirits of Auchindoun no longer grants any bonus honor.

User interface

  • On the Character Select Screen, characters now perform an attack animation appropriate to their class every 30 seconds.
  • Character stats are on a separate display that must be revealed on the right of the character screen.
  • Buttons for popup windows (talents, PvP, dungeon finder, etc.) now display the level at which they become available.
  • The graphics settings window has been revamped.
  • Zone names displayed when moving between zones are now closer to the top of the screen.
  • On the border of the Minimap a yellow arrow points to the closest quest area. In the Objectives frame the number of that quest has a yellow (instead brown) background.
  • If quest items can be looted, they will be displayed with a yellow border in the loot window.[1]
  • You can now activate multiple tracking abilities (Class Trainer, Auctioneer, Mailbox, etc.) simultaneously and the minimap uses appropriate icons to distinguish them from each other; however, it still uses generic yellow dots for Spell nature earthquake [Find Minerals], Inv misc flower 02 [Find Herbs], and Inv misc fish 02 [Find Fish].
  • Mounts and companion pets have been moved to the spellbook.
  • Tooltips of mobs and objects displays quest progression of partymembers when in a party and the quest has been shared.
