New mounts
The build adds 48 mounts. Where the client records how a mount is obtained (its source text names the vendor, drop, quest or achievement), that fact is printed as the game holds it; a mount without one is listed by name only.

New spells and talent changes
The build adds 9,665 spells. Spell records are the noisiest family in a client build (every new item effect, aura and NPC ability is one), so the names below are examples and the true count is the number that matters. The talent tree data (trait node entries) shows 247 added and 13 changed entries in the same build.
All 9,665 are in the Spells table below.
New achievements
The build adds 274 achievements. Each line quotes the achievement's own description from the client, which is the criteria text a player sees.
- A Lone Wanderer: Collect the large wandering Soul Globes during the Earth and Sky event within the Vaults of Atal'Utek.
- A Round on the House in Midnight: Donate to Bar Tab Barrels at taverns and inns in Midnight zones.
- Adventurer Mistcrests earned
- Adventurer of the Mist: Outgrow the use of Adventurer Mistcrests during Midnight Season 2.
- Altar of Fangs: Defeat Zul'jan in Altar of Fangs.
- Aquatic Battler of Cataclysm: Defeat the trainers of Cataclysm with a team of all level 25 Aquatic pets.
All 274 are in the Achievements table below.
New maps and zones
The client's map and area tables gained 8 new map records (Altar of Fangs, Cursed Keepsake, Dummy Dome and Null Space) and 39 new area records (Altar of Fangs, Altar of the Six Winds, Amani Foothold and Ancient Burrow). A new map record is how a zone, instance or scenario first appears in the client, usually before any quest or encounter references it.
New creatures
The build adds 165 creatures to the creature table: the NPCs, bosses and critters the new content is built from. Spawn locations are server-side and are not in the client, so only the names are known.
All 165 are in the Creatures table below.
