General
- Companion pets when summoned will now only despawn when another pet is summoned or they're dismissed. This includes death of a player, loading screens, and being logged out.
Races
Classes
Paladins
- [Divine Guardian] now has an effective range of 30 yards (the tooltip is contradictory).
Dungeons & Raids
- Maps of Outland dungeons have been added.
- The meeting stone for Blackwing Descent has moved slightly.
- In Deadmines, the ceiling of Ironclad Cove has been updated.
Battlegrounds
- A countdown timer has been added displaying the time until the battle begins.
Items
- The [Mechanopeep] has different audio when clicked.
- [Bone Fragments], [Crypt Fiend Parts], [Dark Iron Scraps], [Core of Elements], and [Savage Frond], which became useless in 4.0.3a since they could no longer be turned in for Argent Dawn reputation, are now poor quality (grey) items.
- The [Argent Gruntling] and [Argent Squire] now make noises when clicked.
- Bind on Equip items won through a Need roll will now bind to the character.
Achievements
- Agent of the Shen'dralar added as a Feat of Strength.
- Two new companion pet achievements added: Petting Zoo and Menagerie.
- Items disenchanted via the Disenchant loot roll now count towards the Dust, Dust and more Dust! guild achievement (whichever guild the disenchanter is in gets credit).
- New Daily quest achievement, 2500 Daily Quests Complete added.
- New achievement to earn 30,000 gold from quest rewards, Justly Rewarded added.
- New achievement to eat Cataclysm foods, Cataclysmically Delicious added.
- New achievement to drink Cataclysm beverages, Drown Your Sorrows added.
- Thirty Tabards added.
- New achievement added for Vial of the Sands.
- New achievement added for eating cookies You'll Feel Right as Rain.
World Environment
- Old Ironforge has been opened.
- Darnassus has additional Darnassus Sentinels at previously unguarded regions.
- A long quest chain has been added leading to the reopened Zul'Gurub.
- A Shaman trainer named Droha has been added to Darnassus, and Rukua, the Paladin trainer previously standing near Tyrande Whisperwind, has been moved next to him. Both are standing near the portals to Exodar and Blasted Lands and appear to be in a conversation with Elissa Dumas, the Darnassus Portal Trainer.
- Several goblins who mistakenly had the glowing blue eyes of death knights after the 4.0.3a model update have been fixed. This includes, but is not limited to, Baron Revilgaz and Qizzik.
- Vassandra Stormclaw now longer has "death knight eyes," and now has a tag indicating her role as a Druid trainer (she had been a druid trainer already).
- Stormwind and Orgrimmar portals have been returned to Shattrath and Dalaran. Portals to other cities are still gone.
- Halduron Brightwing has been given a new outfit.
- Anvils and forges located in both Alliance and Horde sections of the Temple of Earth in Deepholm are now functional and have proper mouseover tooltips.
Professions
- Reagents, patterns and cogwheels are now sold by many more vendors including ones in capital cities. Some professions (such blacksmithing) require these patterns to reach 525 skill. Previously these items were only available off Twilight Highland vendors and only after doing a quest chain starting at level 84. This effectively reduces the min level required for the relevant professions down from 84 to level 75.
- The new Cooking and Fishing dailies in Darnassus, Ironforge, Thunder Bluff and Undercity are exclusive with the ones in Orgrimmar and Stormwind and each other, respectively. You can only complete one racial city Cooking and Fishing daily per day.
Archaeology
- The progression bar for research projects has been set back in place, having been accidentally shifted to the left in the last patch.
Enchanting
- When in a dungeon group with a character that has leveled enchanting, the chat screen will print out "[name of item] has been disenchanted for loot by [name of player with Enchanting]" upon anyone in the group winning a disenchant roll.
User interface
- Shaman characters now have a totem displayed on the right on the character select screen.
- COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED has a new argument inserted on 5th place, named "hideCaster".
- Character Stats, Titles and Equipment Manager are placed under tabs at the right in the Character frame.
- Drop down box for guild rank demotion/promotion added.
- On the Blizzard Launcher, the patch completion alert and PLAY button sounds have been changed.
- Worgen characters can no longer change from one form to another using /transform, and the CanTransform() API call has been removed for reasons unknown.
- The open all bags bind no longer works with bank bags.
- All alt-codes and special characters can now be used in chat.
- Switching talent specs now uses a different sound effect.
- You can no longer /dance while in combat.
Possible bugs
- Even with "Remember Account Name" selected on the login screen, the Authenticator code input box only appears in its separate popup.
- [Far Sight] cannot be canceled by jumping.
