1.10 Patch Notes

[Kaelten]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.10.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New High-Level Armor Sets!
Adventurers of Azeroth can now quest to upgrade their previous Rare-
quality Dungeon set to a new, higher-quality set, including epic gear!
These tasks include all-new boss encounters, so prepare your finest
group of dungeon-delvers and prepare for a challenge!

Weather!
Weather has been introduced in the following areas around Azeroth:
- Elwynn Forest
- Tirisfal Glades
- Dun Morogh
- Darkshore
- Alterac Mountains
- Stranglethorn Vale
- Feralas
- Un'Goro Crater
- Tanaris
- Winterspring
- Ahn'Qiraj
We will be adding more weather to the world as time progresses; this
is simply the beginning!

High-Level Instance Changes
Along with the new Armor Sets, the high-level 5-10 man dungeons have
received some changes regarding loot. Many items have been improved
in quality and use. In addition, several epic items, such as
Headmaster's Charge and the Runeblade of Baron Rivendare, have had
their drop rates significantly increased. In order to preserve the
challenge of these dungeons, they have had their instance caps
lowered. Stratholme, Scholomance, and Blackrock Depths now allow a
maximum of five players inside, and Blackrock Spire allows a maximum
of ten.

Quest Experience to Gold Conversion at Level 60
Previously, quest experience was wasted if one completed a quest at
level 60. In this patch, any quests done at maximum level will have
their experience reward converted to a healthy amount of gold, thus
adding additional incentive to completing those quests in your log
once you hit 60.

New Final Destination Flight Paths!
If you're making several jumps to get to your destination, you will
now be able to choose that flight path from your initial Flight
Master. The costs will remain the same, but you no longer need to
manually click on each path. The UI has also been improved
significantly.

General
- All spells/abilities that remove existing effects (e.g. Dispel Magic,
Cleanse, Remove Curse etc...) will now verify that there is an effect
that can be removed before casting.
- You will no longer lose your current target when affected by a crowd
control spell (e.g. Fear, Polymorph etc...).
- Various tooltips updated.
- Pets no longer modify your reputation if you kill them.
- You no longer teleport to your flight destination when hit by
snowballs.
- Passive damage effects like Oil of Immolation will cause creatures to
attack when they are hit.
- Turning off the At-War flag will no longer stop neutral guards from
attacking you.
- Trying to spoof item links will disconnect you.
- Fixed error message when attempting to start melee combat while
unable to attack.
- Channelled spells are cancelled when a rogue vanishes.
- Channelled spells are cancelled when you zone.

equipment after the cast.

- Area effect spells and abilities will no longer consider totems as
valid targets.
- Charm spells on charmed creatures are no longer available to the
players that charm them.
- Fixed a bug which could cause lava flows to be improperly rendered or
invisible.
- Traps can now be detected in the same way stealthed units can be
detected.
- Stealth and Invisibility effects will now be canceled at the
beginning of an action (spellcast, ability use etc...), rather than
at the completion of the action.
- Reputation will no longer be gained if a pet kills a monster without
aid.
- Added support for widescreen video resolutions.


PvP & Battlegrounds
- Alterac Valley
Flavor items from player loot in Alterac Valley will now stack and
can be sold for a small value. These are items like Documents from

Boomstick Imports, Worn Running Shoes, etc.
Players in Alterac Valley will no longer drop Darkspear Troll Mojo,
Dwarf Spines, Forsaken Hearts, Human Bone Chips, Orc Teeth, etc. and
the quests have been removed for these items. Instead when a player
is slain in Alterac Valley, any enemies that were in that player's
threat list will gain 1 point of reputation with either the
Frostwolf or Stormpike factions.
Frostwolf and Stormpike faction will now be gained by killing
players of the opposite faction. Reputation will no longer be split
up among the entire raid group.
Tower Banners in Alterac Valley can no longer be used through walls.
Korrak the Bloodrager and his band of trolls have packed up their
bags and left Alterac Valley for greener pastures.
- Arathi Basin
The Horde can no longer bypass the gate before the match officially
begins.
