Burning Crusade has added Outland, the devastated remains of Draenor and controlled by Illidan Stormrage.

Wrath of the Lich King added Northrend, a continent on the northern side of Azeroth, home of the Lich King.

Cataclysm changed Azeroth zones forever, and uncovered previously hidden zones like the deserts of Uldum and the Hautes-terres du Crépuscule, home of the legendary Grim Batol.

Mists of Pandaria added Pandaria, a continent previously hidden from sight with the help of ancient magics - The Pandaren originally hail from there.

Warlords of Draenor has us go back in time to uncover the original Draenor, before its destruction at the hands of Ner'zhul.

Legion has uncovered the Broken Isles, location of the ancient Tombe de Sargeras and the lush capital of Suramar.

Battle for Azeroth added two continents: Kul Tiras, an Alliance continent controlled by House Proudmoore, and Zandalar, the seat of power of the Zandalari Troll empire.

Shadowlands is adding more than a continent: With the veil between the world of the living and the world of the dead shattered, we are now exploring The Shadowlands, the realms of the dead.

Warcraft Transportation GuideGear and How to Obtain It

Gear can no longer have more than one Primary Stat at the same time - If you play a class that uses more than 1 Primary Stat (like Paladins, they use Intellect to heal and Strength to tank/dps), your gear will automatically change between Strength and Intellect depending on your current specialization;

Hit Chance is now gone, your attacks and spells don't miss anymore;

Armor and Spell Penetration are gone, so are Spell Resistances;

Spell Power and Healing Power are gone, now they come from your Intellect stat;

Defense rating is gone, tanks are now guaranteed to not take critical hits or crushing blows unless sitting or when taking enemies much higher level than they are;

Sockets have a chance to be added to every piece of gear you obtain, with gear from certain sources having guaranteed. Jewelcrafters are able to craft gems that can be added onto gear pieces with sockets in them, further improving the power of that piece of gear.

Secondary Stats no longer give you a flat percentage chance, instead, you receive a secondary stat rating. You need a certain amount of rating for 1% of each stat.

There are also more secondary stats now:
Critical Strike: Gives your attacks a chance to critically strike, dealing double its normal damage;

Haste: Increases your attack speed, reduces your spell cast times and reduces the time between each tick on DOT spells;

Versatility: Increases your damage done and reduces your damage taken;

Mastery: Enhances a key characteristic of your specialization, changes in each specialization.

Tertiary Stats

Speed - Increases the base movement speed of the character by a given amount.

Indestructible - Items with this tertiary stat will not have a durability attribute and thus won't ever break, saving the player eventual repair costs.

Leech - All damage and healing dealt will heal your character as well, by a percentage of its final amount.

Avoidance - Reduces all area damage received by a percentage. Any damage that is not targeted directed to you is classified as area damage.

Normal is the easiest difficulty there is, you can immediately queue for those after hitting the level cap, and are the only difficulty accessible while leveling.

Heroic is a middle of the road difficulty. You can queue for a heroic via the Group Finder once you reach a certain item level threshold, or if you have a group of friends, you can simply walk to the instance. Heroic Dungeons have a daily lockout.

Mythic is a harder dungeon that cannot be queued for, instead, you need to create a group with your friends, or via the Group Finder, and run to the instance's door. Mythic Dungeons are on a weekly lockout.

Mythic Keystone is a special dungeon mode that can only be accessed by using an Clé mythique on the altar near a dungeon's entrance. Mythic Keystone dungeons are special because they offer a scaling difficulty, the higher the value of your Keystone, the harder the dungeon will be. Those can scale indefinitely.

Raid Finder is the easiest difficulty setting and can be queued via the Dungeons and Raids tab. The Raid Finder will gather a group of 25 people to kill bosses.

Normal and Heroic: Those are middle-of-the-road difficulties that you need to find a group and run to the raid's entrance. A Normal or Heroic Raid group can contain 10 to 30 players and bosses will scale accordingly to your group's size. You can also invite your friends that play on different servers!

Mythic: The hardest difficulty setting of a raid, destined for guilds. Mythic raids are balanced around 20 people in a group. You cannot invite players from other servers to try Mythic raids with you, unless enough time has passed on that tier.

Repaire d’OnyxiaCœur du MagmaRepaire de l’Aile noireProfessions

Archaeology: A secondary profession that allows you to see what's underneath Azeroth, literally. Travel around the world, explore dig sites, and locate ancient archaeology fragments that can be combined for a wide variety of rewards, including mounts and pets!

Inscription: A primary profession that uses different herbs to mill and create different kinds of ink. With those inks, you can create scrolls, glyphs or even powerful Darkmoon Cards!

Jewelcrafting: A primary profession that allows you to prospect rare gems from ores mined all around Azeroth. You can use said gems to create powerful gems that boost stats in your gear when added to a socket, or lapidate them into trinkets or toys!

Commentaire de fizlebang

your attacks and spells don't miss anymore;

This isn't exactly true as melee attacking a mob from the front still has a 3% chance to be parried (as long as they are less than 3 levels higher than you, including bosses).

Commentaire de Jvchequer

Great guide, keep up the good work.

Commentaire de koulo

This guide will help me in 2015 that time im returning in wow, yeah bad time with wod but for me is a new experience. All new thing like the stats is confusing by the time but is more simple now.

Well a least a lot of guides for wowhead users help me with the new adventure.

Commentaire de nbajammer

Last time I checked, Worgen could NOT be Monks. Likely due to the fact that their starting zone is phased.

Commentaire de qaccy

No mention that Arcane Torrent restores insanity as a shadow priest! But if Blizzard doesn't care about shadow I guess it makes sense to see them overlooked here too...

Another correction: Pandaren are in fact able to communicate cross-faction using their racial language.

Commentaire de offspinner

Might want to briefly mention Draenor Garrisons as well; not current content obviously, but still a useful source of mounts, toys, heirlooms, gold and profession items.

Commentaire de vektor

You should mention Thottbot is no longer there :D

Commentaire de Sebiale

"Azuremyst Isle, an island north of Teldrassil"
Southwest, not north.

Commentaire de Snikmord

Small typo:

You can earn your own Artifact Weapon starting at level 98 when you can start question

Commentaire de iampusheenthecat

The Belf racial mount is a hawkstrider, not a tallstrider . . .

Tallstriders aren't all that "sleek" and "royal!" xD

Commentaire de IvyMorrigan

Ammo/quivers were removed also

Commentaire de Foxpaw

A non-comprehensive list of all the advancements and quality of life improvements you can expect to go back to not having whenever they get around to releasing the vanilla servers.

Remember, Blizzard, they want the vanilla experience. They don't get any of this stuff. Don't be going half-measures with this and let them have the UI and group finding improvements.

Commentaire de Automag

You may want to edit the Profession area to reflect that First Aid is gone with BfA.
