World of Warcraft: Shadowlands patch notes🍌 have landed in advance of the pre-expansion update hitting the game next week, October 13, and they detail everything you can expect from the final major update before Azeroth's afterlife opens up later this year. 

The World of Warcraft: Shadowlands patch notes give a more det♏ailed insight into the overview trailer that Blizzard posted earlier this week, explaining the decisions its made on player levelling, gear, and more in order to prepare Azeroth for the upcoming expansion. You can read the full list of tweaks, updates, and changes below, and find out more info from . 

DEATH RISING – LIMITED TIME EVENT

Shortly after the pre-expansion launch, you’ll be called upon to defend Azeroth from an undead invasion as the Scourge sweep across the land. Players will embark on a quest to establish a foothold in Icecrown, where the barrier between Azeroth and the afterlife has been shattered, and prepare for the coming journey into the Shadowlands. This limited time pre-expansion 🍌event will only be available until the launch of Shadowlands, so make sure to lಞog in to experience it and earn special rewards.

LEVELS, ITEMS AND STATS ADJUSTED

Levels, items and stats have been adjusted to make reaching a new level feel❀🙈 more meaningful while simultaneously making the leveling experience faster than before. Characters at level 120 will become level 50 after the content update.

NEW CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION

The character creation experience has been revitalized with a brand new user interface and many new character customization options to choose from. Some of the new options are selecting your eye color, new skin tones, new hairstyles and hair/fur cඣolors.

All of these new options are availabꩵle at Barber Shops throughout Azeroth, including the option for Druids to choose the appearance of their shapeshifting forms and the ability to swap genders. Now all customization is available in game at any time so the Appearance Change serv🎉ice will no longer be sold in the Shop. 

NEW STARTING EXPERIENCE

Exile's Reach is an all-new starting experience that will take you on an excursion that will introduce you to the fundamentals of playing World of Warcraft and the important mechanics for your chosen class. If you’re new to World of Warcraft and have never created or leveled a character, you will automatically begin your journey into Azeroth with the starting experience. If you’re a⛄ veteran player or you’ve leveled a character before, you can choose to opt out of the starting experience and begin instead at level 1 in the starting area for your race.

Upon reaching level 10, new player🤪s will continue their journey through Battle for Azeroth and into Shadowlands. []

Players who have already experienced Battle for Azeroth and reached level 50 on at least one character can now choose to level any subsequent chara💫cters in a different expansion using Timewalking Campaigns. This new feature allows content from locations like Northrend or Pandaria to scale to a player’s level, so they can adventure from level 10 all the w💯ay to 50 and experience the stories of these areas at their originally intended pacing. Visit Chromie near the embassies in Stormwind or Orgrimmar to select your expansion leveling experience. If you'd like to select a different expansion to level through, simply speak to Chromie again.

After creating your character and beginning your journey into World of Warcraft for the first time, you will enter the Newcomer Chat channel where you can chat with other new players and experienced players on the same faction who will be your guides as you level through the new starting zone – Exile's Reach. New players and guides will be able to recognize one another in the chat channels and with icons above their characters' heads that only they can see. Upon reaꦕching level 20, new players will be prepared to continue their journey ahead on their own and w🌱ill no longer have access to the Newcomer Chat.

If you're a veteran player and are interested in guiding new players as they🉐 experience World of Warcraft for the first time, head over to Stormwind or Orgrimmar and speak to the guide recruiter once you've met the following criteri🐎a:
