Mage Review
The next class up for a review of its talents is the mage, master of the arcane and the mystical energies of magic. Some of the aspects the class designers will be looking to improve include easing a mage's downtime between fights and opening some new, interesting talent builds through changes to all the mage's talent trees.

Shaman Review
Check out the shaman talent preview! After you're done trying out your new talent specs, check out the shaman forum for class changes coming in the next patch!

New High Level Dungeon: Naxxramas

Floating above the Plaguelands, the necropolis known as Naxxramas serves as the seat of one of the Lich King's most powerful officers, the dreaded lich Kel'Thuzad. Horrors of the past and new terrors yet to be unleashed are gathering inside the necropolis as the Lich King's servants prepare their assault. Soon the Scourge will march again...

Coming in patch 1.11 is Naxxramas, a new 40-man raid dungeon that will present even the most experienced and powerful players with an epic challenge. Stay tuned for more announcements about this coming addition to the World of Warcraft!

Short Story: Road to Damnation
Once, Kel'Thuzad was not very different from the other magi of Dalaran. Ambitious, maybe, perhaps more radical in his convictions, but certainly not more powerful than his peers. Yet it was Kel'Thuzad the Lich King made into a key figure of the Scourge's remorseless assault on the lands of the living. Now, the man named Kel'Thuzad is gone, and all that remains is Kel'Thuzad the lich, right hand of the Lich King and ruler of the necropolis Naxxramas. What evil was it that led him down this path? Learn more about the events that darkened the fate of Kel'Thuzad, and ultimately of all Azeroth, in Road to Damnation, a short story preview of the upcoming content patch for World of Warcraft.

New High Level Armor Sets
New class specific armor sets are being added! Click here to get a preview of the sets on the High Level Armor Sets page.

New Argent Dawn Reputation Reward Items
Dozens of new quests will be available in Light's Hope Chapel and with new quests come new reward items of superior and epic quality!

New Cenarion Circle Reputation Reward Items
New tailoring, leatherworking, and blacksmithing recipes will be available for purchase. To preview the stats of the new craftable items, visit our Cenarion Circle Reputations page.

New Legendary Caster Items
Casters rejoice (and druids too)! A new LEGENDARY item quest will be available in patch 1.11!

Keyrings
Free up some of your bank and inventory space with the introduction of keyrings! Keyrings are automatically available to players once the patch goes live. Keys found throughout the world will automatically go on the keyring. Level 1-39 players will have 4 key slots, level 40-49 players will have 8 key slots, and level 50-60 players will have 12 key slots.

Log back in quicker after being disconnected
After a disconnect from the server, it will be possible to log back in immediately, instead of receiving the message, "A character with that name already exists."!

And much more
Please note that the New Features list is a sneak peek. It does not contain every addition, change, or bug fix going into the next patch.

Two more flight points (Mor'shan Rampart, Great Lift) and the Barrens might finally be complete.

Better late than never, right ?

Ratchet really doesn't need a flightpath...it's like a 45 second run from XR.

Itzena · 05-19-2006, 01:10 PM

*cough*Alliance*cough*

Nehrak · 05-19-2006, 01:10 PM

*insert Blizzard likes Alliance post here to save time*

A Ratchet flightnode makes things more accessible for Alliance, basically.

Kodylan · 05-19-2006, 01:10 PM

Yeah I'm guessing they really did it for alliance and instead of having to deal with alliance favortism posts they decided to add one for horde too.

Cad · 05-19-2006, 01:13 PM

It's not a crazily long run from XR to ratchet but it sucks ass to do it for the 27 quests back and forth in the barrens..

it'd be nice if they added one at that lumber camp in eastern elwynn while they're at it

... · 05-19-2006, 01:15 PM

theramore-ratchet saves a bit of travel time too. i'm not hip to alliance travel, but that seems like it'd be a bastard of a run.

Yeah, that's kind of a retarded flight point.

Cybsled · 05-19-2006, 01:34 PM

Alliance did need a Ratchet flightpath, though. The "fastest" way to get to Ratchet as Alliance is via Booty Bay, which really isnt all that fast.

Plus if gives lvl 20 Alliance warlocks another means to get to Barrens besides Ashenvale (for Succubus quest and the later Ratchet specific quests).

Obtenor · 05-19-2006, 02:24 PM

Woah Barrens has 3 flight paths now.

redav · 05-19-2006, 02:37 PM

I hope this doesn't effect the quality or quantity of discussion in barrens /1

"back when I was a noob, we would WALK from the great lift and up dreadmist peak, in 6 foot snow, and we liked it."

Quiet infidels, Ratchet Flightpath = AWESOME. Seriously, it's a great spot for one. The Ungoro one is very much needed too.

No, I'm not being sarcastic. You freaking negative neafy's.
