Zul’Aman

Zul’Aman is a 10-player, level 70 outdoor instance located in the Ghostlands. Players will be able to confront six new bosses including the Forest Troll Warlord Zul’jin.

Guild Banks Introduced

The Guild Bank is a shared repository for an entire guild and will be accessible through Guild Vault objects near existing banks. The Guild Bank will allow players with the appropriate permissions to store items and money for use by the rest of the guild. Permissions to withdraw and deposit money and items are controlled by the guild leader through the guild controls menu. The Guild Bank is divided up into separate tabs so that the guild leader may restrict access or group items into distinct categories.
– Up to 6 purchasable tabs each containing 98 item slots
– Permissions to view/deposit/withdraw per tab
– You may use your Guild Bank withdraw limits to pay for item repairs (now enabled on all merchants)
– Transaction logs of the last 25 actions within each tab, as well as money activity.

Dustwallow Marsh

Dustwallow Marsh has seen many improvements with the addition of over 50 new quests and a new neutral goblin town called Mudsprocket located in the southern part of the zone. There is also a small quest hub featuring a crashed goblin zeppelin, to the east of Tabetha’s hut.

– The amount of experience needed to gain a level has been decreased between levels 20 and 60. In addition, the amount of experience granted by quests has been increased between levels 30 and 60.
– Level 1-60 dungeon quests have had their experience and faction rewards increased.
– Many elite creatures and quests in the level 1-60 experience have been changed to accommodate solo play.

General

* Zul’Aman is a 10-player, level 70 outdoor instance located in the Ghostlands. Players will be able to confront six new bosses including the Forest Troll Warlord Zul’jin.
* Guild Banks have been introduced. The Guild Bank will allow players with the appropriate permissions to store items and money for use by the rest of the guild.
* Experience: The amount of experience needed to gain a level has been decreased between levels 20 and 60. In addition, the amount of experience granted by quests has been increased between levels 30 and 60.
* All items have had their bonuses to Weapon Skill Rating converted to a new stat called Weapon Expertise Rating. Each point of Weapon Expertise reduces the chance for your attacks to be dodged or parried by .25%.
* Healing reduction effects will now affect all health drain spells and abilities (e.g. Mortal Strike will reduce health gained from Drain Life).
* Healing: Almost all items and enchantments that provide bonus healing now also provide a smaller number (approximately 1/3) of bonus spell damage. There are a few items and enchantments where this was not possible, such as random-stat items and Zul’Gurub enchantments, but this is now the case on virtually all other items.
* On Kill Effects: Items and abilities that trigger on killing an enemy will no longer trigger on using an ability that kills your pet.
* Silence and Interrupt effects now have diminishing returns when used on PvP targets.
* Weapon Skill: All items and abilities that granted weapon skill have been changed. In most cases, they were converted to expertise or expertise rating. Ranged attacks do not benefit from expertise, so ranged weapon skill has generally been replaced by critical strike bonuses or hit bonuses. In a few cases, talents have been changed to other effects to avoid granting players excessive amounts of expertise.
* A new flight path has been added to the Rebel Camp in northern Stranglethorn Vale.
* Flying units can see ground units and vice versa at any altitude.
* Players no longer gain the moving AOE radius bonus if they are jumping.
* Client spell cast requests are now sent to the server even if your player is already casting another spell. This eliminates the need for /stopcasting in macros to compensate for latency.
* Vendor Discounts: All vendors with an associate faction now give discounts at all levels above neutral.
– Friendly: 5% discount
– Honored: 10% discount
– Revered: 15% discount
– Exalted: 20% discount
– Quest givers who have available daily quests will have a blue exclamation point instead of a yellow one.
* Pets will try to get behind their targets when engaging in melee combat.
* You can now obtain a tiny Sporebat pet with exalted Sporeggar faction.
* An Azure Whelp pet now drops from the blue dragonkin in Azshara.
* If you are seated and try to use abilities that require you to be standing, you will stand up and use them. This can be disabled with: /console autoStand 0 .

* Racial Abilities
– Dwarf: Gun Specialization now increases chance to critically hit with Guns by 1% rather than increasing weapon skill.
– Gnome: Escape Artist cooldown increased to 1 min, 45 sec.
– Humans: Mace Skill now increases the critical strike chance with maces and two-handed maces by 1%.
– Humans: Sword Skill now increases the critical strike chance with swords and two-handed swords by 1%.
– Orcs: Axe Skill now increases the critical strike chance with axes and two-handed axes by 1%.
– Troll: Bow and Thrown Specialization now increases chance to critically hit with those weapons by 1% rather than increasing weapon skill.
