Wrath Guides and Galleries

 The eagerly anticipated Wrath of the Lich King has finally arrived, and there's an enormous amount of new content to explore, in addition to all of the changes made to older content. We've had some of the changes since patch 3.0.2, but now the real deal is upon us.

It can all be a little overwhelming, and that's why we're here. The WoW Insider team has gathered up all of the information you need to know for your adventures in Northrend, from class changes to talent specs to flightpaths and zone previews, we have it all.

If you weren't lucky enough to get into the Wrath of the Lich King beta, there are a lot of really basic but essential things you probably will want to know. Our new series, Wrath 101, goes over those essentials in detail. The series most certainly hasn't concluded, so you should check back regularly for new additions.

Wrath of the Lich King continues the daily quest system started in The Burning Crusade, and there are a ton of them. Some of them are a little obscure or hard to find, so WoW Insider plans to go through them all one by one, pointing you in the right direction and lending a hand wherever we can!

• The Way to His Heart... (Kalu'ak)
• Planning For the Future (Kalu'ak)
• Preparing For the Worst (Kalu'ak)
• Cheese for Glowergold (Cooking)

• Wintergrasp daily quests

Ten more levels, ten more talent points, and entirely new class? All of that means a whole lot of new abilities. The WoW Insider team has spent a lot of time playing around with many of these skills, figuring out exactly what they do and how you should use them. Due to the nature of a beta, some of our older Skill Mastery entries have become outdated and obsolete, so we're just going to pretend those don't exist. These will still serve you just fine, though.

• Mark of Blood (Death Knight)
• Horn of Winter (Death Knight)
• Survival Instincts (Druid)
• Savage Roar (Druid)
• Mirror Image (Mage)
• The Art of War (Paladin)
• Mind Sear (Priest)
• Thunderstorm (Shaman)
• Demonic Empowerment (Warlock)
• Damage Shield (Warrior)
• Bloodsurge (Warrior)
• Shockwave (Warrior)

Naturally, with all of the new content comes new additions to all of our tradeskills. We'll need to skill up from the old cap of 375 to the new cap of 450. We have a nice guide of what to expect, and if you want to see the recipes themselves, we have a full set of galleries for you to look through.


The continent of Northrend is much bigger than Outland was, though we're not sure of any exact numbers. It's undeniably bigger, though. The zones are all unique and varied, and they're completely beautiful. If you don't know what you're in for yet, we have a simple overview of each of the zones. Just check out the gallery below.
