Haven't found a decent removal of items / achievement list when 4.0.3 hits, so I decided to make one.

I am only posting achievements and items that already exist in-game. So I am not talking about Cataclysm achievements being added.

Achievements being removed / added / turned into a feat of strength.

- 1000 Stone keeper's shards.
Turns into a Feat of Strength.

- Scepter of the Shifting Sands Chain quest line.
Turns into a Feat of Strength named Veteran of the Shifting Sands.

- The Undying.
Will turn into a Feat of Strength.

- The Immortal
Will turn into a Feat of strength.

- Champion of Ulduar
Will turn into a Feat of Strength.

- Conqueror of Ulduar
Will turn into a Feat of Strength.

- He Feeds on your tears (10/25)
Will turn into a Feat of Strength.

- Herald of the Titans
Will turn into a Feat of Strength.

- A tribute to skill / mad skill / insanity (10/25)
Will turn into a Feat of Strength.

- Zul'Gurub.
Will turn into a Feat of Strength.

- Hero of the Zandalar Tribe
Will turn into a Feat of Strength.

- Deadliest Catch.
Will turn into a Feat of Strength.

- Operation: Gnomeregan / Zalazane's Fall.
Will turn into a Feat of Strength (not sure if it has been removed in 4.0.1 already)

- What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been.
Now also rewards Master Riding.

- Insane in the Membrane.
Will (very very likely) be removed.

- Loremaster.
Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms and Loremaster of Kalimdor no longer requires you to complete a given amount of quests anymore. You now have to complete the achievements for each zone to get the Loremaster title.
All the WoW classic zones now have their own quests achievement: Arathi Highlands Quests, Badlands Quests, Blasted Lands Quests, Burning Steppes Quests etcetera.

Edit: ~~Need information on the recipe for Dirge's kickin' chimaerok chops. Is it being sold by a vendor in BETA? Or is it completely removed? Or even rewarded by a seperate quest?~~
