New mounts

The build adds 1 mount. 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.

  • Black Malice (Trading Card Game). Malice has never looked better nor flown so swiftly.

New items

The build adds 7 items. Slot and binding come from the item record itself.

New spells and talent changes

The build adds 56 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.

All 56 are in the Spells table below.

New creatures

The build adds 1 creature 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.

How this page is built

Each World of Warcraft game build is compared field-by-field against the previous build of the same version line. Added, changed and removed records are read directly from the client database, not from patch notes. Prices shown are the game's own vendor values, formatted with live coin denominations; where a value is unknown it is left blank rather than guessed. Counts are the true totals for the build; where a heading reads "40 of 11,892" the rows under it are that many examples, and a record the client has not named yet is left out rather than printed as an id. A removed record is shown by name without a link, because the entry it pointed at is gone from the client. Every build lands in the patch news feed the day it is ingested.
