Experience required to gain levels 71 through 80 is being reduced by 20%

New tamable hunter pets (Monkey, fox, dog, and beetle, as well as new skins for exsisting pet classes. Complete list here thanks to www.wow-petopia.com: http://www.wow-petopia.com/cataclysm/newlooks.html

A steam powered auctioneer, similar to the engineering only one in the Like Clockwork store, has been added next to the justice point vendors in Dalaran. They are now usable by all non-engineers.

Altho probably not intended, the elemental invasion event is active on the PTR. IF is still bugged in the same way as on live, where no elementals spawn. In Stormwind, tha changes to the city make the even impossible. No sandbags can be placed in the park, as it has been demolished. Also, the primary event quest giver is in the exact same spot in live, which is now under 20 feet of stone. he is /tar-able, but not able to be interacted with.

Good thread, Sammew. Aside from content, also included in the upcoming patch are several class balance changes and bug fixes. Due to several talent revisions for select classes, druids, paladins, priests, and shaman will have their talent trees reset.

Experience required to gain levels 71 through 80 is being reduced by 20%.

You'll also get the Cataclysm introductory cinematic and new login screen.

I am guessing that means the Shattering is going to take place.


When is this patch going into effect? Tuesday?

•City Quartermasters, with rep tabards


I hope these will allow rep gains while in dungeons? I would rather gain rep this way then grind the low level quests and waste my time.

I don't know about the tabards thing but as far as when 4.0.3a will be deployed....most other sites are calling for Tuesday and I agree with them. The PTR already has the 'Release' build on it and it'd be smart of Blizzard to put it in before Thanksgiving weekend when the activity is sure to spike because of people with time off. The only downside would be that bugs would have to be discovered quickly so they could get fixed on Wednesday. Otherwise, tough, wait till Monday unless it's truly server-crashing critical.

So yeah, probably Tuesday.
