New mounts
The build adds 27 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.
- Ashen Dreadglider (Discovery). Far more vicious and resilient than the run-of-the-mill dreadbats of Revendreth, the Ashen Dreadglider gains its strength from a...
- Autumn Dream Jumper (Drop). As the winter night dawns, and spring lily's fade, the Autumn Jumpers jump, under the summer moon's shade.
- Cerulean Prideclaw (Trading Card Game). A fierce and loyal mount that will accompany you on all your journeys.
- Corrupted Swarmer (Drop): Vendor: Estelia Archtender; Zone: Silvermoon City.
- Giant Grrloc (Discovery). It's one of the biggest murlocs you've ever seen!
- Hot Motocross Bunmover 4000. Warning: Contents may be hot and delicious.
The full list of 27 is in the Mounts table below.

New spells and talent changes
The build adds 5,886 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 711 added and 31 changed entries in the same build.
- Angry Roar
- Assassinate
- Assassinate
- Collect
- Collect
- Common Fit
All 5,886 are in the Spells table below.
New achievements
The build adds 161 achievements. Each line quotes the achievement's own description from the client, which is the criteria text a player sees.
- A Few More Can't Hurt: Loot 50 Mislaid Treasures within Kindo'jan's Labyrinth.
- A Puzzling Tale: Complete a puzzle in the Tales of the Storyteller.
- Aqir Research Associate: Reach Exalted status with the Aqir Research Enclave.
- Bane of the Swarm: Complete the following Aqir Invasion activities:
- BlizzCon 2026: Logged in during the 2026 BlizzCon celebration period.
- Driving Back the Swarm: Complete 10 Aqir Invasions.
All 161 are in the Achievements table below.
New maps and zones
The client's map and area tables gained 11 new map records (Battle for Dazar'Alor, Quillgrave, Seat of the Pantheon and Silvermoon City) and 40 new area records (Akil'zon's Roost, Augurs' Terrace, Brightwing Estate and Central Chamber). 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 302 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.
- Aggramar
- Aggramar
- Ainsley Sicard
- Alden Flax
- Alexander Ovinya
- Alin Delfir
All 302 are in the Creatures table below.
