Dalaran testing, Legacy beta access, class tuning, quests and interface changes.
Updates
Reviewed · Ragetusk Editorial
Dungeon, experience and controls
City of Dalaran is open for beta testing. Dungeon kill XP rose about 20% from the previous Forever beta build. Party XP now uses each player’s level; the anti-boosting restriction remains.
Legacy beta access
All beta players received 16 Legacy points. The minimum respec costs 1 silver, with one respec’s cost decaying each hour. These testing rules are not launch guarantees.
Classes
Natural Instinct adds healing; Expose Prey lasts 10 seconds; Reckoning has a 1.5-second cooldown. Impale again requires Deep Wounds. Updated class pages cover Rage, spell, threat and pet fixes.
Items and professions
Wolfshead adds 5 Energy on Shifting Power; Truthseeker’s Bow requires level 40. Profession Updates lists corrected vendor values, armor kits and Recovery. Desolace rewards have been retuned; their level-35 equip requirement is still an upcoming hotfix.
Quests and PvP
Valley of Bones quests now require level 35. Excavation follow-ups reuse the Titan Relic. PvP critical strikes regain full efficacy, and Shipwreck Cove’s capture point is positioned correctly.
Interface and known issues
Cooldown Manager covers all classes, racials and trinkets. Remaining issues include Hunter Ferocity’s pet-crit display (visual only) and profession-window icons. Skyborne cat-form and some creature textures await a future build.
