Quality of Life Improvements in Season of MasteryExperience Changes in Season of Mastery

The Adventure Awaits buff grants 40% additional experience for characters 1-59 to Dungeon quests and any quests flagged as Group (Elite).

Calculations used to determine the experience awarded for enemies that have been “tapped” by one player or group but killed by another player or group were adjusted.

Looking for Group in Season of Mastery

The Looking for Group tool from Burning Crusade Classic is present in Season of Mastery.

Meeting Stones in Season of Mastery

Meeting Stones can now summon appropriately-leveled party members to the associated dungeon.

Riding Costs Reduced in Season of Mastery

There’s been a reduction in the cost of training riding skills and purchasing level 40 mounts.

Profession Changes in Season of Mastery

Changes and additions made to reputation vendors and item drops in patches 1.6 through 1.11 will be in place at the launch of Season of Mastery, with a few exceptions:
Items on vendors and items associated with reputations are not accessible until a later content phase, such as the Zandalar Tribe.

The (world drop) plans for Titanic Leggings and Sageblade will be made available in a future content phase.

Cenarion Hold and Silithus will be available at launch (Phase 1).

You will be able to summon elemental Templars and Dukes in the Twilight’s Hammer camps in Silithus to facilitate the completion of the Dungeon Set 2 questlines at the launch of Season of Mastery.

Cenarion Hold and Silithus activities directly associated with Anh’Qiraj will remain unavailable until the Anh’Qiraj War Effort event kicks off later.

Flacon de diamant has an entirely new Spell ID and this is likely to address the issue with Warriors stacking +Healing gear. Warriors would put on Healing gear, use Diamond Flask, and then quickly swap all their gear before pulling a boss. The way it worked in original Classic, Diamond Flask would snapshot the bonus healing and apply a powerful healing over time effect. While this can be perceived as a clever use of game mechanics, some Warriors were actually topping healing meters on Loatheb.

Soul of Iron Hardcore Mechanics in Season of Mastery

Chronicler Fero - Library in Ironforge, in the back of the Hall of Explorers

Chronicler Morta - Apothecarium in Undercity, near the Herbalism trainer

Soul of Iron /flex

- Possibly awarded after reaching Level 60 without ever dying.

- Possibly awarded after defeating Ragnaros without ever dying.

- Possibly awarded after defeating Nefarian without ever dying.

- Possibly awarded after defeating C'Thun without ever dying.

- Possibly awarded after defeating Kel'Thuzad without ever dying.

- Probably records what level a player died at while attempting Soul of Iron.

Dungeon Changes

Changes made in patch 1.10 to dungeon rewards will be in place at the launch of Season of Mastery, including the availability of Idols, Librams, and Totems, and adjusted drop locations and drop rates of some items such as the Hand of Justice in Blackrock Depths.

Mauradon

Crowd control of any type (except snares or roots) will reset the snare immunity, root immunity, and speed buffs.

Stratholme

All Undead creatures in Stratholme will now gain an immunity to snares 30 seconds after entering combat and gain immunity to roots after an additional 30 seconds of combat.

Crowd control of any type (except snares or roots) will reset the snare immunity, root immunity, and speed buffs.

Zul'Farrak

Zombie Trolls in Zul’Farrak now drop fewer lucrative treasures. Most of the loot previously dropped by Zombie Trolls has been redistributed to other enemies in the dungeon.

Blackrock Depths

Pickpocketing in Blackrock Depths can be extremely lucrative -- so much so that the residents have become wise to the depredations of thieves. If Rogues use Vol à la tire too often, a new debuff called Thief! will be applied; for 30 minutes afterward, all Pickpocketing will produce is Compresse de poche. The number of Vol à la tire attempts to trigger the debuff varies, but seems to average around 10.

Sunken Temple Level 50 Class QuestsRaid Changes in Season of MasteryChanges to Molten Core in Season of Mastery

All creatures have had their health increased.

Several mechanics that were removed in early versions of original World of Warcraf have been restored to certain bosses in both raids.

Lucifron

Lucifron is now accompanied by four Protecteur attise-flammess instead of two.

Magmadar

After about 20-30 seconds after Magmadar is engaged, two Chien du magma will spawn right next to the boss. Similar to the Core Hound packs right before Magmadar, these adds will respawn if they aren't all killed at the same time.

Two Chien du magma will continue to spawn about every minute.

Bombe de lave is cast much more frequently, leaving many more patches of flame on the ground.

Gehennas

Gehennas is accompanied by four Attise-flammess instead of two.

Pluie de feu is cast much more frequently.

Garr

During the encounter, Etre du magma will spawn on top of Garr, charge a random raid member, and then explode.

Baron Geddon

When Baron Geddon casts Bombe vivante, it now targets three players instead of one.

At the end of Bombe vivante and Inferno, a fire patch will be left on the ground that deals damage to anyone standing inside of it.

Shazzrah

After casting Transfert, Shazzrah will leave behind an "Image of Shazzrah" which will continuously cast Explosion des Arcanes for the remainder of the encounter.

Golemagg l’Incinérateur

Golemagg l’Incinérateur's Rageur du Magma pets are now permanently buffed by La confiance de Golemagg, increasing their physical damage and attack speed.

Golemagg l’Incinérateur now casts throughout the fight, instead of only being cast below 10% total health remaining.

Messager de Sulfuron

Messager de Sulfuronand the four Prêtre attise-flammes all have a shared health pool.

Inspirer seems to have been buffed, increasing the damage output by a significant margin.

In addition, any of the Priests or Messager de Sulfuron can Inspirer one another, meaning they need to all be spread out.

Chambellan Executus

Elite attise-flammes now have a Volée de boules de feu spell.

Flamewaker Priests become immune to crowd control after two deaths, instead of four. Surprisingly, Chambellan Executus was one of the easier encounters in the latest version of Molten Core.

Ragnaros

Ragnaros will force submerge phase when total health remaining reaches 50%.

After Ragnaros respawns from the submerge phase. For the remainder of the fight, Fils des flammes can spawn in random locations from the lava.

There is a 60-minute timer displaying time remaining before Ragnaros "withdraws" and despawns.

Changes to Onyxia's Lair in Season of Mastery

All creatures have had their health increased.

Several mechanics that were removed in early versions of original World of Warcraft have been restored to certain bosses in both raids.

Battleground Changes in Season of Mastery

Several guards removed from Alterac Valley in Patch 1.11 have returned to their posts.

PvP ChangesChat Feedback Changes

Added in-chat confirmations for players who report misbehavior in chat, as well as for those that someone may report.  

When reporting a player for verbal harassment or other disruptive chat in-game, players will receive a confirmation when there’s an action against the other player.  

When your behavior has moderately changed for the worse, you may receive a warning message so that you can modify your behavior before receiving a penalty.  

When acutely inappropriate behavior from a player is observed, the system may skip a warning and take immediate action. 

/ignore now blocks characters on the ignored player’s WoW account.

There's a couple of instances of "Warcraf" instead of Warcraft in this article that need typo correction.

Kudos to this article as it gave me the answer to my question "What is this Season of Mastery for Classic World of Warcraft" I asked Google!

Commentaire de servonius

T0.5, updated dungeon rewards and (PvP) reputation rewards are also available in Phase 1 (src), it's missing in this overview

Commentaire de CommanderAmaro

I was worried the word "Season" in Season of Mastery meant it would reset like many other games do with their seasonal challenge content. I'm just glad to hear it means quite the opposite and content will come even faster and so will progression. I wonder what will happen once Phase 6 releases?

Commentaire de XalonMJG2

Its so funny how Classic became THIS - versions of WOW that have been so tweaked they are nothing like the original vanilla experience. All these changes, buffs, nerfs, etc.

Shows us that the only real classic experience was playing in 1-60 content before Cata released. All we have are the memories.
