Where Burning Crusade came with Karazhan as a startup raid zone for 10 man groups and a very steep jump in difficulty to Zul'Aman much later on, WotLK allows for a much more gradual raiding progression. Small guilds should be able to more easily advance and actually make the jump from Naxxramas to the next raid zone, instead of sticking around in the Karazhan equivalent until the end of times.Also worth noting is that raids have no attunements; you can enter all WotLK raid zones freely when you've reached level 80.

Achievements

The Achievement system allows you to record and look back upon past achievements. There is an endless list of achievements for every element of the game. Through achievements, you can get some recognition for going the extra mile. Some achievements (often the especially difficult ones) will provide rewards in the form of titles, special items or mounts.Regular achievements reward you with points, which are used only for showing other players your unstoppable dedication when it comes to completing menial tasks. Did I mention Achievements are addictive?

World PvP and Siege Engines

Lake Wintergrasp is an outdoor zone dedicated entirely to PvP. In addition to the newness of that, the area contains Siege Engines and destructible buildings. Introduced as a feature Blizzard had in the planning even before Burning Crusade was released, Siege Engines got pushed back to this expansion. Various Siege Engines can be controlled by a single player, but often have room for multiple passengers. Some Siege Engines have a mounted gun for a second player to control. For more info on Lake Wintergrasp and Siege Engines, check out the PvP chapter.

Mount Passengers

There is no new tier of flying available in WotLK, no new mount type to unlock. In fact, you cannot use your flying mount in Northrend at all before reaching level 77, at which time you must learn 'Cold Weather Flying' from a trainer for the small fee of 1000 gold. Note: You do not need Epic Flying skill to train Cold Weather Flying, so you can use a regular flying mount in Northrend. There is something new to report when it comes to mounts; the ability to take passengers along with you. Whether this feature is actually useful will remain to be

New Features And Changes

As expansions are expected to, WotLK added some new features to WoW. New zones to explore and levels to gain are a given, but just as with Burning Crusade, this expansion brought some large changes to other aspects of the game as well.

Death Knight

First and foremost is the introduction of the Death Knight class. A melee class with dps and tanking capabilities, specialized in disease and undead minions.

Progression based Areas

In progressions based areas, completing an important quest will change the world around you. These areas are also known as 'Phased' areas. You can first encounter this in the Death Knight zone, where the city you do your quests in slowly transforms into a scourged wasteland. These special areas are similar to instances in that people who aren't located in the same phase cannot see you or interact with you in any way other than chat. This means that what you see outside is linked to where you are in the story, and not related to the actions of other players. The downside of all this is that you cannot co-operate with other players who are on a different stage of the questline. All in all, its100% pretty awesome to see the world changing around you. Beside the DK area, you can find such quest chains in Northrend at the Wrathgate in Dragonblight and in Icecrown.

Raids

All raid zones in Northrend can be played with 10 or 25 man, your choice. The 10 and 25 man versions of a raid zone have separate loot tables and instance id's (meaning you can be saved to a 10-man Naxxramas and hop right into a 25-man Nax raid).

BASICS

hile the true basics of the expansion can be found on the back of the box, most of the worthwhile info is omitted. This is especially true when it comes to major changes that occurred during the BC to WotLK transition. For this reason, it makes sense to lay out some of the important new stuff in this expansion.

INTRODUCTION

urning Crusade took us to Outland to find out what Kael'thas, Lady Vash and most notably, Illidan were up to. When those were are all dealt with, it was time for something new. Considering we haven't heard anything new from the Lich King since before the release of Burning Crusade, the thought of going to Northrend wasn't entirely alien to the expectant playerbase. Wrath of the Lich King takes place on Azeroth itself, and it picks up the Lich King's story more or less where it left off. The Lich King is working to gain control over most of Northrend and must be dealt with. By you, of course.BThis expansion brings more quests than Outland had, as well as more landmass. New features such as Siege engines, the Death Knight class, a new Battleground, 10-man raids and tons of other little changes and additions make this expansion, in my opinion, better than Burning Crusade was.In this guide, you will find whats new with the expansion explained in detail. You will find an extensive quest guide, helping you get from level 70 to 80 much quicker than you otherwise would. You will find Instance Guides, information on Northrend's Reputations, PvP, Professions, Gold earning, and more. I hope you enjoy reading it!
