Patch Notes and Overview

The talent system received an extensive overhaul: players get one talent every 15 levels now, for 6 maximum in MoP. Specialization and core class abilities have changed as well.

Prime glyphs are removed and many new minor vanity glyphs are added.

Achievements are now account-wide and some can even be completed across characters. In addition, many mounts, pets, and titles are account-wide as well.

It is not possible to earn Valor Points and Conquest Points until Mists of Pandaria now.

Scholomance, Scarlet Monastery, and Ragefire Chasm got reworked. The settings are familiar, but the bosses and loot have changed.

Many UI changes, from a separate Mounts & Pets tab to extensive Spellbook changes.

Many quality-of-life additions: AoE looting, Battle Tag functionality, cross-server zones.

Looking for addons? WoW Interface has you covered.

Things you'll have to wait for MoP for: Monks, questing in Pandaria, the level cap raised to 90, new heroic dungeons and raids, scenarios, pet battles.

Blizzard Entertainment

World of Warcraft Patch 5.0.4

The latest patch notes can always be found at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/

General

Account-wide Achievements, pets, and mounts
- In Patch 5.0.4 and beyond, the majority of your character's Achievements, pets, and mounts will be shared with your other characters.
- Please read: Bringing Achievements to the Account Level, by Greg "Ghostcrawler" Street
World Event: Attack on Theramore Isle
- Warchief Garrosh, obsessed with assuring the Horde’s supremacy over Kalimdor, launches an all-out attack against Jaina's island home of Theramore. Though valiant Alliance defenders rush to repel the sudden onslaught, they’ll soon find themselves unprepared for the terrible scope of Garrosh's true plans…
- This Scenario will become available in the weeks leading up to the launch of Mists of Pandaria on September 25.
AOE Looting
- Area of effect looting comes to World of Warcraft with this patch. After killing a group of enemies in close proximity, when you loot one of their corpses, the loot window will include items from all of the nearby corpses for which you have loot rights.
BattleTag support in World of Warcraft
- Players who have enabled their BattleTag will now be able to:
  - See BattleTag friends in your friends list.
  - Add and remove BattleTag friends.
  - Send BattleTag invites to other players via right-click.
Cross-Realm Zones
- In some zones, players are now able to form a group with other players from a select pool of realms.
- When a player is in a zone that is set as a “cross-realm zone”, in addition to seeing other players from their native realm, they’ll also seamlessly see (and be able to play with) players from other realms.
- Players will always be able to group and quest as they normally would with players from their native realm.
- This functionality will be enabled for a limited number of realms at first, and will be granted to additional realms as we near the release of Mists of Pandaria.

Classes: General

All classes have been updated with a new talent system, improved abilities, and spells (accessible throughout levels 1-85). Your character's talents have been reset.
- Many old talents have been converted to specialization abilities.
- Druids now have access to a fourth class specialization: Guardian.
- New spells are now learned automatically. Class trainers are only needed to change talents, glyphs, class specialization, or to utilize the dual specialization feature.
- All characters now take 40% less damage from other players.

Currency Conversion

Valor points have been converted to Justice points, and Conquest points have been converted to Honor points.
Neither of the resultant currencies (Justice and Honor) have an enforced hard-cap at this time.
Players are no longer able to earn Valor or Conquest points (bosses drop Justice, and arenas are closed).
Items formerly purchasable for Valor/Conquest are available for Justice/Honor.

Items

Spell Penetration has been replaced by PvP Power on existing items.
Head enchants removed
- Enchants that modify the gear in your head slot have been removed from the game. This includes older head enchants of every type.
Relics, ranged, and thrown items
- The slot in which ranged, relics, and thrown items were previously equipped has been removed. All weapons should now be equipped in the weapon slot.
- Ranged weapons, including wands, have been adjusted to be more powerful.
- Ranged weapons no longer have a minimum range.

Professions

The glyph system has been updated. Many class glyphs have been added, altered, or moved to different glyph types.
Prime glyphs have been removed.
Chef’s Award and Dalaran Cooking Award have been removed. Existing awards have been converted to Epicurean’s Award.

Quests

The cap for daily quests has been removed.
There is no longer a displayed count of daily quests completed.

User Interface

There is a new user interface for your mounts and pets.
Character creation screens have been updated.
Buffs have been consolidated in the UI.
New roll results frame added. This new feature can be accessed by clicking the word "[Loot]" in chat, or by typing "/loot".
The PvE queue frames have been unified. You can now queue for dungeons, raids, and other queue-able content in one handy place.
Vendors now offer item filtering.
Spellbooks have been updated to reflect changes to core abilities, and now include a brief overview of specializations.
The Dungeon Journal has been expanded with information on all pre-Cataclysm encounters.
A new help system has been added to many frames. You can toggle this on and off by clicking the "i" button in the upper left corner of the frame.

Mac

Mac OS X 10.5 is no longer supported.
Added full support for Retina displays.
Added support for game resolutions that match Mac screen aspect ratios.
Switching between Windowed and Fullscreen display modes should be faster.
A “Help” menu has been added, so that players can quickly navigate to support pages.
A menu item that allows players to copy system information to the Clipboard has been added.
A menu item that reveals various game files and folders in Finder has been added.

New Scenario: Fall of Theramore

From September 18-24 only, players can queue up at 85 for Theramore's Fall, a new scenario. The scenario can be later completed by level 90 players in Mists of Pandaria. The Theramore event will not begin on patch day, August 28th, in contrast to the staggered pre-Cataclysm event.

There will be faction-specific Feats of Strength for participating in this scenario at level 85: Theramore's Fall and Theramore's Fall.

Rewards have been added: Theramore Tabard for Alliance and Mini Mana Bomb for Horde.

Theramore will eventually be changed permanently to its post-battle state in a future patch.

Jaina has a new in-game model after the attack on Theramore: the harmful magic from Garrosh's bomb on Theramore turns her hair permanently white. Check out the before and after images.

Theramore will still be a zone players can quest in. However, the former interactive version of the city with NPCs and questgivers will be removed.

Several ilvl 384 items have been datamined in beta patches, with Theramore-themed names and old-school vanilla models.

Armor

Weapons

New Talent System and Class Changes

In 5.0.4, the talent system will be radically changed. Instead of 31-point talent trees, each player gets 6 talents total. There is an option between three talent choices every 15 levels.

Many talents that were considered mandatory have been added into class specializations.

You do not need to visit a trainer to learn new abilities: you only visit them to change talents and specializations.

With so many new abilities introduced this patch, Blizzard took the time to add amazing spell graphics for each class. Check out our past previews.

We've had a Mists of Pandaria talent calcuator up and running hours after the overhaul was first announced at BlizzCon 2011. Constantly updated, it reflects all the new talents, class abilities, specializations, and glyphs. Check it out!

We've provided links below to our talent calculator, Blizzard's summaries of class changes, as well as detailed guides to all specs our friends at Noxxic have put together.

Death Knight Talent Calculator

Presences have changed.
Frost Presence now increases your Runic Power generation.

Each specialization learns a passive effect that should cause that specialization to favor the corresponding Presence for general use.

Death SiphonWowhead class previewNoxxic Class Guides

Blood

Frost

Unholy

Druid Talent Calculator

The Feral specialization has been split into Feral (for Cat-focused druids) and Guardian (for Bear-focused druids) specializations.

Each of the four specializations has a more distinct and different set of tools, but all of the spells available to the specialization are now useful.

For example, Feral and Guardian druids can cast Healing Touch for a useful amount of healing, and Balance and Restoration druids can make better use of the Cat Form and Bear Form abilities they have.

videoscreenshotNoxxic Class Guides

Hunter Talent Calculator

There is no longer a minimum range for the class.

The ranged weapon slot has been removed from the game; hunters now equip their ranged weapon in the main hand weapon slot.

Hunters now benefit from Expertise as their ranged attacks can be dodged.

Any type of pet can now choose any specialization (Ferocity, Tenacity, or Cunning).

Noxxic Class Guides

Beast Mastery

Marksmanship

Survival

Mage Talent Calculator

Mages received many changes intended to flesh out rotations and make them more interesting.

Arcane mages now have a more complex rotation. Fire mages now have tools to control the random nature of their spells.

Frost mages are now considerably stronger at sustained damage dealing, and now viable in PvE.

Much of the crowd control and survivability that was unique to Frost has been spread to the whole class, or made available to all specs as talents.

Noxxic Class Guides

Arcane

Fire

Frost

Paladin Talent Calculator

Paladins now have several ranged abilities, though remain primarily melee combatants.

In-line with streamlining raid buffs (more on that below), Auras have been removed, and the buff focus is now on Seals.

Paladins can now store up to 5 Holy Power at a time, but still can only use up to 3 on each Holy Power spender.

Noxxic Class Guides

Holy

Protection

Retribution

Priest Talent Calculator

Mana pools are fixed for all casters (more on this below).

Chakras are now more similar to warrior stances.

Changes have been made to Discipline to further support the damage absorption playstyle.

Shadow priests now have Shadow Orbs as a resource, which can be generated by some of their basic spells, and spent on either strong damage or crowd control.

Noxxic Class Guides

Discipline

Holy

Shadow

Rogue Talent Calculator

Poisons are now Spellbook abilities that affect both weapons at once.

Poisons are divided into two categories, Lethal (Deadly or Wound Poison) and Non-Lethal (the rest), and you may have one poison of each type active at once.

Many abilities that used to be restricted to a single specialization are now talents and available to all specializations; so you can have a Shadowstepping Combat rogue or an Assassination rogue with Cheat Death.

Dagger speeds have been normalized such that the niche of the “fast dagger” intended for the off-hand no longer exists. Any dagger should be fine to equip in either hand.

Noxxic Class Guides

Assassination

Combat

Subtlety

Shaman Talent Calculator

Totems no longer provide long-term buffs. Some of the old passive effects are now innately provided by the shaman.

Totems instead have short-term situational benefits. In light of this the totem multidrop UI has been removed, though all totem spells are now sorted under draggable elemental flyouts in the Spellbook.

Noxxic Class Guides

Elemental

Enhancement

Restoration

Mists of Pandaria Shaman PreviewWarlock Talent Calculator

Each warlock specialization has a unique secondary resource which allows them temporary surges in power.

Affliction warlocks focus more on layering multiple periodic damage effects, and amplifying their effects, and use Soul Shards rotationally for strong damage, or occasionally for utility as before.

Demonology warlocks now have a new Demonic Fury resource, instead of Soul Shards, which is built by casting their normal spells.

Destruction warlocks now use Burning Embers as a resource, which is built up slowly through casting their normal spells, and spent in bursts of massive damage.

Warlocks no longer use armor spells, instead gaining additional armor and bonus health passively.

All demons deal similar damage and are no longer linked to a specific spec. Doomguard, Infernal and Soulstone cooldowns reset upon wiping to a raid or dungeon boss.

Mists of Pandaria Warlock PreviewGrimoire of SupremacyNoxxic Class Guides

Affliction

Demonology

Destruction

Warrior Talent Calculator

The design of Rage has changed to function more like a valuable resource.

Warriors no longer naturally gain Rage from taking damage, but instead generate Rage with their primary attacks, such as Mortal Strike, Bloodthirst, and Shield Slam.

Stances also now share a single action bar, rather than changing your action bar, and abilities are no longer restricted by stance.

In addition, the benefits of the stances have changed considerably, with allowing the warrior to gain some Rage from taking damage, Battle Stance making the warrior gain additional Rage from dealing damage, and Defensive Stance focused on survivability.

Noxxic Class Guides

Arms

Fury

Protection

Inscription and Glyph Changes

Prime Glyphs are removed. Many of these abilities have been turned into class abilities.

Your character now can have 6 glyphs at once, not 9.

Minor glyphs in 5.0.4 are designed to be lighthearted and provide your character with fun vanity effects. Blizzard felt minor glyphs were too dull and wanted to do something different with them. Check out our past visual previews of the new cosmetic glyphs.

Many old glyphs will be changed in 5.0.4 and your old glyphs will convert into new ones. Others, like monk glyphs, will require 525+ Inscription to learn.

Many professions do not have changes, but Inscription has a few low-level weapon plans in addition to all the glyph changes. We suspect that this will help transmog more than leveling players, as the weapons use rare models.
Key to the Planes (Recipe: Key to the Planes). First seen on Chief Engineer Lorthander.

Runed Staff (Recipe: Runed Staff). Blue-and-black feathered staff.

Rosethorn Staff (Recipe: Rosethorn Staff). A yellow version of Chillwind Staff and Staff of Earned Tranquility, a weapon model formerly Alliance-only.

Silver Inlaid Staff (Recipe: Silver Inlaid Staff). Purple-and-silver feathered staff.

Currency Conversion

Valor Points will be converted to Justice Points, and Conquest Points converted to Honor Points.

Justice Points and Honor Points will be capped at 4000 until Mists of Pandaria.

Several weeks after Patch 5.0.4, excess Justice Points and Honor Points will be refunded at a small silver conversion rate.

Items formerly available for Valor Points and Conquest Points can now be purchased with Justice Points and Honor Points. Example: Bottled Wishes now costs 0 Justice Points instead of 0 Valor Points.

On September 25th, Valor Points and Conquest Points will be earnable again. Characters can earn 1000 Valor Points per week, hold up to 3000 Valor Points maximum, and hold up to 4000 Conquest Points maximum.

Check out Blizzard's recent blog on currency conversions here.

Account-wide Achievements

Most pets, mounts, titles, and achievements will be account-wide in 5.0.4. This will greatly help players who have meta achievements in progress across several characters. If an achievement can be completed across multiple characters, like a meta-achievement, it will have a blue bar in the heading.

Check out our guide to account-wide achievements, updated for 5.0.4 with things like realm first titles!

Exceptions include class-specific mounts, Challenge Mode mounts, Gladiator and RBG mounts.

A title will be acquired on an alt when they reach the required level to obtain it. It looks like realm-first titles will be account-wide too!

Achievements will be shared at the battle.net level. This means that characters on linked accounts will share these items and accomplishments.

Expensive and multi-seat mounts were originally intended to be character-specific. They were changed during beta to be account-wide, so all characters can benefit from your Reins of the Grand Expedition Yak. Full list here.

Check out Ghostcrawler's post on account-wide achievements for more information.

Item Changes

Helm enchants are permanently removed. Check out Ghostcrawler's explanation here.

The ranged weapon slot is removed. There is simply just a weapon slot. Players will have the option of equipping, for example, a staff or a wand, a bow or a polearm. As a result of this change, ranged weapons will receive stat boosts to be more powerful and minimum range has been removed. However, ranged attacks can now be dodged.

Expertise will convert to spell hit for casters.

Spell penetration is being removed.

General Changes

AoE Looting: This will greatly speed things up in 5.0.4! You will be able to loot all nearby mobs by clicking on one corpse. For Wowhead Client users, don't worry, we'll be able to accurately display drop locations and percentages still.

Battle Tag Support: Battle Tags are similar to Real ID, but without your name attached. You can invite, add, and remove friends with Battle Tags just like you do with Real ID, but with more privacy. This system was first introduced in Diablo III.

All Races Available in 5.0.4: Players do not need to purchase a specific expansion to unlock several races, all races are available with Classic WoW. For example, you do not need Cataclysm to roll a Goblin. Read the blue post here.

Blacklisted Battlegrounds: Players can blacklisted two battlegrounds at a time--removing them from their random queue. Simply click the thumbs-down icon by a battleground's name and you won't have to deal with your least favorite map ever again.

11th Character Slot: This is the first expansion where the number of characters per realm has been increased to 11.

Cross-Realm Queueing: Players in under populated areas of the world such as low level zones will be grouped together within a select pool of realms. The natural flow of questing will be preserved but the zones will end up less sparse. For highly-populated areas like major cities, this won't be in effect. Check out the blue post describing the changes in more detail.

UI Changes

Spellbooks have been greatly changed: all abilities show up in tabs organized by spec, regardless of your characters chosen dual specs. In addition, there is a spellbook page talking about core abilities and changes for your class. New help prompts have been added to many portions of the spellbook, for users unused to the new format.

Pets and Mounts now have their own interface.

Buffs at the top right of your screen have been consolidated. Clicking on the buff icon will expand the window to show what buff types you have.

The Dungeon Journal now includes pre-Cataclysm encounters.

Vendors now filter items by class.

Helpful information toggle buttons have been added at the top left of window panes. Click on the "i" to have more information pop up.

A new roll results frame will provide more detailed information. Type /loot in game to see more information.

Character Creation Screen

New characters will show up on the preview screen in sample sets of high-level gear, instead of level 1 greys.

A bar has been added to the right side of the screen that allows you to visually browse all the customization options, such as hair and skin color.

The character creation screen has been changed to reflect the faction conflict instead of your race's homeland.

Comment by Eilonthay Dear Blizzard,
Is it really too much to ask for more stable slots? I want to tame more pets, even if I never use them regularly...or at all...but they are so pretty, they must be mine! I just wish there were more pet slots for when I'm out and about--I've been quick-changing pets while going through dungeons for the buffs/debuffs and usually find I don't have the right ones. Ah, well...people make fun of my pretty pink flamingo, but with an AoE armor debuff now, it's worth it.

I haven't been able to log in today after the patch, so the jury's still out on a pet having any old spec to it (if I'm even reading that right). A tenacity spirit beast? I find that strangely appealing. o_O No, don't ask me why, but it would be fun for questing. My general overall thoughts on MoP is "squee!", though I'm not looking forward to deciding on talents...there are a few rows I wouldn't mind having two of the talents, since they sound so cool, but whatever. Blizzard will do what it wants, even if in this case I think they pared off far too much. I mean, we went from 30+ down to 18? Crazy. I will miss spirit bond (since I'll probably only take it for PvPing now). T_T And I still don't understand the existence of the fireworks spell....sure, it's fun, I guess (Hunters are now trained in pyrotechnics for weddings, festivals, and graduations? I guess it would help pay for pet food...), but I'd rather have something else. RIP Theramore, but I will gladly take the lovely tabard, since I've been ogling it for years! Comment by JezzebelPop Well since I read this an hour ago I managed to pay another month on my other account which houses my Belf Hunter who I would love the Scarlet Chain set on and got the last piece, the legs for her future transmog. Just need my various higher levelled toons to send her the rest which were collected weeks ago.

However only having 5 attempts in the space of that hour cost me the tabard. It also cost me never having the full Bloodmail set for her which was another aim. She's only lvl 55, I was hoping to get her to 60 before all this happened. Curse my lack of money this month! -.-;

I don't understand why they are releasing the updated instances now, thought it was supposed to be a lvl 90 instance. Guess they're of the first ones you get at lvl 85.

Other than that mild QQ I am SO looking forward to the new patch and getting used to my new talents. I had beta and still didn't know what to make of them. Also Hunters need to focus more on expertise now am I right? Lots to get used to. Account wide mounts + pets though = :D

EDIT: Omg is that a HYDRA talent I see there? I thought we weren't getting tameable Hydras!
EDIT 2: Thanks for the reply Adamsm, that makes sense. I wasn't around for the pre-cata patch so didn't think of that. Comment by Adamsm I don't understand why they are releasing the updated instances now, thought it was supposed to be a lvl 90 instance. Guess they're of the first ones you get at lvl 85.Comment by akilleuss try getting the Tabard before the 25th i got it 4 weeks ago Comment by Pulpo shockadins are back! Comment by kryzflavored The character creation screen has been changed to reflect the faction conflict instead of your race's homeland.

But why? These look awful and static compared to the old ones. And the pandas get their own, so it isn't even to separate horde/alliance pandas, either. I thought they learned that fixing something until it breaks is a bad idea. Comment by rayquaza11 The PlayerScore addon was causing major performance issues, try disabling it first if you having issues too. Comment by Krater Wow! This patch is seriously broken. In 2 minutes of logging in I see multiple bugs.

First, on the character select screen my DK is about 40% smaller than all my other characters.

Second, one of my characters has 104 pets. Not bad, except I have 2 Alliance Balloons, 2 Anacona Chickens, 2 Bombay Cats, etc. Not everything is doubled, I'd guess it's doubled from the pets from the only 2 characters I've logged in with. (Logged in with another - yup 3 shared now! 141 pets!)

Third, my mounts aren't shared. Some are but I have the blue drake on my shaman that isn't showing up on my other characters. (Ah, you have to log in with all characters before you get them!)

Fourth, a few achievements are not shared. Loremaster of Northrend shared instantly but all my other Loremaster achievements didn't. Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms and Loremaster of Cataclysm did share (I'm sure many more didn't either).

Terrible that we get to beta test this. This is core functionality that should've been working already. Comment by MelancholyRose The "Blacklist Battlegrounds" doesn't seem to work right now. Blacklisted Alterac Valley and still got put into it. Comment by Interest Wow! This patch is seriously broken. In 2 minutes of logging in I see multiple bugs.

Heck, allow us to PURCHASE a character slot. I'd pay 15 bucks for a new slot in a heart beat. Comment by wosh Blacklisted Battlegrounds = epic! :DComment by EndellionQT One thing I have to say.

I hate what they've done to Jaina's hair *sob* :( Comment by Thandion Playing whilst the download is in progress, so would this affect why my achievements/pets/mounts have not been shared across my account? On my old server, my old main has 50+ mounts, tonnes of pets and various achievements (including the Meta for the world events). Shouldn't this be showing up on my characters on the new server? (e.g. shouldn't my 85 BElf priest on Kazzak be able to access the violet Proto Drake and the various titles earned by my Human Paladin on Arathor) Comment by Lamor I didn't see anything mentioned about the Reputation changes.

there seems to be no more Weekly rep cap for Guild reputation nor daily guild XP earning caps either. Comment by vindurza .... and the world will now be overtaken by pandaren yay =D
