The patch notes allude to the Tortollan World Quest Le cycle de la vie, in which you must kill juvenile turtles. However, there is another new Tortollan World Quest, Tracé. This WQ is tied to the achievement Maître du tracé.

The new Naga World Quests provide the buff Perle de mana instable

From philupthebucket: Collector Kojo's Shell Game WQ has a level up animation with the matches now instead of the little tinkling noise.

From Ellumina: Azerite Mining world quest had some changes. You can no longer double tap a mining node to get credit twice (the second cast on the node will end with an "Invalid target" error now). Some notes grant a higher completion % to compensate.

The Tortollan La tête de pont quest has been sped up. Whereas previously the rate of NPCs spawning during the quest started slow and increased over time, they now spawn at a consistent rate throughout, although the total time to complete the quest has not changed.

World Events

The Darkmoon Faire has several ominous fish head hats which can be fished up in the waters of Darkmoon Island: Tête coupée d’écaille-cramoisie and Tête d’azurette coupée. We wrote about how these fish heads may tie into Old God hints.

The Trial of Style returns on March 20th. There are new ensembles to purchase this season: Ensemble : tenue de parade de lien d’esprit paisible, Ensemble : tenue de combat du Rêve sans repos, Ensemble : cotte de mailles de la chasse intemporelle, Ensemble : armure de la voie amarante.

Noblegarden has new circlets (Diadème du printemps jaune, Diadème du printemps brun, Diadème du printemps bleu) as well as a new toy, Pierre de foyer du noble jardinier.

Midsummer Fire Festival has new bonfires in Kul Tiras and Zandalar, as well as the Pierre de foyer du cracheur de feu toy.

Brewfest has the Pierre de foyer de fêtard de la fête des Brasseurs new toy.

Allied Races

While Allied Races are at the forefront of the patch notes, It's worth noting that the Kul Tiran Humans and Zandalari Trolls have some unique things, setting them apart from other Allied Races:
Kul Tiran Humans and Zandalari have unique musical soundtracks, and we wrote about cultural influences in the music.

Kul Tiran Humans and Zandalari have unique dances, unlike the other Allied Races whose dances mimic their original WoW race. Kul Tiran Humans resemble Mr. Thiccman and ballet, while Zandalari Trolls resemble Gwara Gwara.

Overlord Geya'rah was the warchief's right hand. There is no braver orc on this world.
What fate did our brothers and sisters meet?
If any Lightbound traitors come to this world, I will be ready!
This world reeks of corruption.
Warchief Hellscream is almost certainly dead. If he fell, he died a hero's death.
Lok-tar ogar!
"I still dream of Draenor. Does my home still remain?
Aggh. It does no good to think on such matters."
We have much to teach the orcs of this world.

Classes

From Zeitlos: hunter tar trap has a new animation, ground effect, and sound effect.

From Melilithia: purple Warlock summoning animation has been replaced by the newer particle effects, for the Unglyphed minions.

Items

From Muffinus: Esprit d'Eche'ro and Rênes profanées can now fly.

Trotteur du rivage rapide has received a small color update, restoring the orange colored belly previously removed in patch 8.1.

Potamodonte de guerre vicieux now has a /mountspecial animation.

Performance Improvements

From MysticalOS: Antialiasing is no longer applied to UI windows. This fixed performance issues with Azerite/Transmog etc windows.

From CadenHouse: The in game Twitter character limit was finally increased from 140 to 280 characters.
