Cataclysm - Glyph Interface Preview

The new interface for Glyphs is finally available and it comes with a couple of very interesting improvements.

The biggest change, Glyphs are no longer a consumable item. You learn them and can swap them at any time after that, without having to buy them again.
Prime Glyphs slots have been added
All Glyphs are now listed, including the one you didn’t learn yet.
You can search for Glyphs, and filter them.

Blizzard’s Cataclysm’s PowerAuras - Updated Arts/Icons

The Power Auras/Spell Procs interface in Cataclysm: The feature isn’t really implemented on beta servers yet and even if a lot of people are already excited because of how useful it will be, you have to admit it looked ugly.

We have good news for you, the final version of the spell activation UI will be pretty, very pretty. Apparently, Blizzard will deploy graphics specific to each skill and most of them look just awesome. Keep in mind that it’s a beta, all skills might not be implemented yet.

Cataclysm Mounts - Drakes of the Wind, Stone Drakes, and Camels

Mounts didn’t get a lot of love on the front page since the beginning of the beta. A lot of stuff was implemented in-game during the latest beta update and we now have a decent idea of what to expect in-game. I tried to restrict it to the mounts that we will most likely see in-game, more recolors are available but they aren’t always linked to an item, etc … Let’s keep it simple for the moment.

This is not a complete list of all the mounts added to the game with Cataclysm, I’ll do that a little later when most of them are added to the game.

Baron runs, Deathcharger’s Reins

Deathcharger's Reins

Deathcharger's Reins

One of the most grinded mounts in game, because it’s so easy to solo at level 80, is the deathcharger’s reins. It was one of the greatest status symbol mounts in game. Although the more people to get it, the less rare it gets. 

If you want to start the grind here are a few points of advice.

Make sure you have done this instance at least once so you have Key to the City  which will allow you to use the Service Entrance which basically removes the need for the Human side of Stratholme. If you cannot enter the service entrance (because you don’t have the key), you need to clear the  human side.

You do not need to kill the Baron within the Baron run’s set time limit. However as a level 80 you should really be done within 10 minutes.

Cataclysm Archaeology profession

These spells are part of the Archaeology profession.

Spell Level Description

Bone Gaming Dice
[ lvl 30/lvl 100 ] Dwarves love gold and dwarves love drinking, so gaming seemed like a natural fit for both. These dice appear to have been carved from sheep bones.
 
Ceramic Funeral Urn
[ lvl 30/lvl 100 ]  Some dwarves sealed their deceased in tombs. Clans that had more interaction with the Scourge tended to burn their dead.
 
Silver Drinking Cup
[ lvl 30/lvl 100 ]  If there’s one thing dwarves love, it’s drinking. And fighting. Two things.
This cup may have belonged to a minor noble or wealthy merchant. Any gems have long since been lost or stolen.
 
Silver Neck Torc
[ lvl 30/lvl 100 ]  Dwarves are famous metalsmiths. While they produce many implements of war, they are adept at working with softer metals as well.
 
Stone Gryphon
[ lvl 30/lvl 100 ]  Gryphons have long been allies of the Wildhammer dwarves, who brought their noble steeds to the rest of the Alliance.
 
Worn Hunting Knife
[ lvl 30/lvl 100 ]  Some dwarves spend most of their lives underground, but others welcome a chance to step out into the sunlight to add a bit of meat to their diet.
 
Archaeology
Apprentice [ lvl 1/lvl 1 ]  Allows an archaeologist to find artifact fragments and complete artifacts up to a maximum potential skill of 75.
 
Searching for Artifacts
Apprentice [ lvl 1/lvl 1 ]  Allows an archaeologist to collect fragments and complete artifacts up to a potential skill of 75. Requires fragments from archaological dig sites or ruins.
5 yd range

Survey
[ lvl 1/lvl 1 ]  Survey for archaeology fragments within a dig site. Each survey will direct you closer to the location of the fragments.
40 yd range, 4 sec cooldown
