The update touches nearly every class, but its practical highlights include a cheaper temporary respec, revised talent progression, expanded gamepad controls and several item changes.
Riverglades brings competing factions, a Twilight’s Hammer stronghold and the Bloodmaster’s Ring. Mount Hyjal opens for players to help the Druids of the Talon and enter Barrow Deeps.
The final was a Warlock-versus-Warlock showdown, with Neepzen also earning the Warlock class prize. Winners were named across the other classes, too.
Dungeon kills now award approximately 20% more experience, while lower-level party members are no longer penalized simply because someone else in the group is higher level. The update also tunes Rage, adjusts select class abilities, and resets vendor prices for several items.
Druids should now be able to loot the relics required for Cat Form after a beta hotfix addressed a bug preventing them from being acquired.
The visual update addresses feedback that HD Skyborne stood out beside SD characters and environments. Blizzard says SD Skyborne characters and Druid forms are in development for early 2027.
