New players will automatically go to Exile's Reach and receive tutorials from a dynamic help system, helping teach brand-new players the basics of the game.

Experienced players that are leveling alts will have the option to go to Exile's Reach without the help system or start in the traditional racial starting zone.

Death Knights and Demon Hunters will not be able to go to Exile's Reach and will participate in their own starting zone.

Exile's Reach culminates in a two-boss mini dungeon that scales to your party size!

Chromie can be found near each city's Embassy.

You can choose any expansion from Burning Crusade to Battle for Azeroth and level through the expansion.

The entire world will scale to your current level from level 10 to level 50 including creatures, quests and loot .

Once you reach level 50, you will automatically be pulled from Chromie Time after a minute but you can turn experience off if you want to finish the expansion.

(2) Set: Rested experience consumed is reduced by 30%.

(3) Set: Increases your out-of-combat regeneration in the outdoors, normal dungeons and battlegrounds.

(4) Set: Gaining a level triggers Burst of Knowledge, dealing Holy damage to nearby enemies and granting you 40% primary stat for 2 minutes. Defeating additional enemies extends this effect, up to 2 additional minutes.

(6) Set: Rested experience consumed is reduced by an additional 30%.

Monks' Peak of Serenity daily buff 启迪 will grant rested experience.

Insightful Rubellite is being renamed Nascent Rubellite and the 5% experience buff is being changed to a 5% swim speed buff.

远古知识药剂. 敏捷思维药剂, and 大瓶快速学习药水 will become Poor quality and no longer usable:

The negative effects of Corruption are also disabled. No more Corruption slow!

The Ny'alotha weapons have Corruption effects disabled.

黑暗之心brings back many old abilities

Certain spells that were made spec only have been returned to all specs such as 枯萎凋零 and 寒冰箭.

Iconic abilities have returned such as 法力之潮图腾, 镜像, 旋风 and the old 星辰坠落.

Popular talents and abilities have been made baseline such as 冰霜巨龙之怒 and 大法师之触.

To see if an ability is target capped, check the tooltip. Generally, if an ability is hard target capped, it will be listed on the tooltip.

If there is no target cap listed on the tooltip, the spell will more than likely be soft capped at 20 targets (for damaging spells) or 6 targets (for healing spells).

Find out what your class has target capped in our Class Guides

Burst cooldowns are defined as spells like 复仇之怒 and 奥术强化 which increase your throughput every couple minutes.

However, Blizzard agrees that Incurring a global cooldown to do nothing but enhance further button presses is unsatisfying.

Certain abilities like 恶魔变形 have a unique animation, visual effect and numerical payoff to warrant them being on the GCD.

click hereCombat Potions

Combat Potions are no longer limited to one use per combat.

All combat potions share a 5 minute cooldown that starts immediately.

You won't need to worry about missing your Pre-Pot anymore with the changes.

On long encounters, you might be able to get 3 or 4 potions in!

Health Potions

Health Potions are also no longer limited to one use per combat.

All health potions (except for Healthstones) share a 5 minute cooldown that starts immediately. This cooldown is not shared with the Combat potion cooldown.

This also means that on long encounters, you could use multiple health potions.

Healthstones

Healthstones are unchanged and can still only be used once per combat.

They have a minute cooldown that starts once you drop combat.

Old Glyphs are also included such as Cheetah or Dolphin Form.

You can transmog any Artifact appearance from your class, as long as it follows normal weapon transmog rules (i.e. 1-hand to 1-hand, 2-hand to 2-hand, etc).

You can mix and match the appearance of different Artifacts now, having your Main-Hand and Off-hand from different appearances, or from completely different Artifacts.

The Artifact transmog interface is being retained so you can still transmog your own spec Artifact weapons over whatever weapons you are using.

Mages and Warlocks can transmog wands to daggers and swords.
