seen, but at the least it could be a nice gimmick. Naturally, there are various new mounts to be obtained in Northrend, including Mammoths, Proto-Dragons, Flying Carpets and Motorcycles.

Quests

The precious Expansion introduced some new types of quests to make leveling up a bit more interesting, most notably the bombing runs. Those are a bit more prominent in WotLK, culminating in rather advanced mini-game type bombing runs in Icecrown, a top level zone. Wrath of the Lich King does its best to spice up your questing in its own way as well. New quest types include:A) Control quests: In these quests, you can control mobs (even bosses), siege weapons or guns to utterly destroy stuff. They all have their own special abilities, which makes these quests pretty sweet in general.B) Chase quests. Mount up and gun down or slow down mobs chasing you.C) Lore quests: Get teleported to a different location to relive an event from the past.

Professions

Giving players with a crafting profession access to so called 'best in slot' items was a concept introduced in in Burning Crusade, and heavily expanded on with its last major content patch, 2.4. Whether this trend continues as strongly Wrath of the Lich King is uncertain right now. The epic craftables by the various professions look solid, but only up to Naxxramas level gear, which is the first tier of raiding. Blizzard has commented that they thought some of the craftable gear felt like a requirement to raiders, and they were not entirely happy with this situation. This expansion with ship with decidedly less superior craftable gear, although each profession does get a different kind of self-only boost. For instance, Blacksmiths can add a socket to several items and Alchemists can craft self-only potions with unlimited charges. If the high level raids are to drop superior quality items, then the crafting professions may still have access to really good gear, but that all remains to be seen
