Everyone has certain things they do on a patch day to get them ready for the changes and new content they'll get to experience. Some people wear a lucky pair of socks, or stock up on their favorite drinks and foods. What sort of things do you do and what advice do you have for other players?

Some things to remember:

  • Respec your talents and visit a trainer to learn any new spells.

    • Don't forget that you can turn on the preview option as a part of a new additions to the interface. You can place your points before actually spending them.
    • If you're dual speccing, be sure to make sure you match up your spec to your primary glyphs first unless you are changing them all out completely. You will not be able to copy or move glyphs over to your secondary spec.
    • Don't forget to get any Glyphs that you might need for your secondary spec if you are dual speccing. You will no longer need to visit a Lexicon of Power in order to apply them, however.

  • Activate any additional interface options you'd like to use. We released a User Interface update a little while ago and there are some new features that you may want to take advantage of such as the additional Objectives tracking. (Equipment Manager as noted in the above stickies will not be released with this patch.) - http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/ui.html
  • Be sure to take a listen to the great new music in the Argent Tournament and Ulduar!

Q u o t e:
50) Doctor explains that police found you running naked down the main highway, screaming in Orcish. Says he armoried your character and that you are a noob.


This is a good reason not to get caught running naked down the main highway. Not only is it unsafe, but you could in fact end up running into a doctor that knows where to find the armory and look you up. ;)

While you're still reading this, Community-Manager-Led discussions quite often turn out a lot better than normal ones. Is there a chance we can get more of these type of threads? :D


Feedback noted. :) We'll try to interject more of these when we can.
