New items
The build adds 3 items. Slot and binding come from the item record itself.
other items: Tender Strider Meat (common); Truskis' Cheesecake Slice (common)
The build adds 37 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 2 added and 1 changed entries in the same build.
The build adds 1 achievement. Each line quotes the achievement's own description from the client, which is the criteria text a player sees.
<Hidden> Completed New Player Experience (Account): Once earned, the player is no longer considered "new" and is allowed to choose between Exlie's Reach and the racial starting experience...
Computed from build record 11135 (1.60.1.70124) to build record 11724 (1.60.1.70170). Every count on this page is the number of rows that changed between those two records.
What each spell listed above is and who uses it, read from the current game data: school, cast time and duration, the skill line or Adventure Guide boss it belongs to, and its tooltip with amounts left out (they scale with level and gear).
Travel Form Changed in this build: tooltip text. Physical, instant. Current tooltip: “Shapeshift into aquatic form, increasing swim speed by 100% and allowing the Druid to breathe underwater. Also protects the caster from Polymorph effects. The act of shapeshifting frees the caster of movement impairing effects.”
Bear Form Changed in this build: tooltip text and aura text. Physical, instant. Taught through the Druid skill line. Current tooltip: “Shapeshift into Bear Form, increasing armor by 220% and Stamina by 25%, granting protection from Polymorph effects, and increasing threat generation. The act of shapeshifting frees you from movement impairing effects.”
Cat Form Changed in this build: tooltip text and aura text. Physical, instant. Taught through the Druid skill line. Current tooltip: “Shapeshift into Cat Form, increasing auto-attack damage by 40%, movement speed by 30%, granting protection from Polymorph effects, and reducing falling damage. The act of shapeshifting frees you from movement impairing effects.”

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.
