Under Development: New Tier 9 Class Sets

The great folks at Blizzard just updated the World of Warcraft website with some exciting news. They are giving us a preview of the new tier 9 class sets due to come out with patch 3.2. You can check out the sets they have up here at their under development page!


It also looks like they're working on a long list of other new things for the Call of the Crusade patch:

  • Introducing the Crusaders' Coliseum: Within the Crusaders' Coliseum only the greatest champions of the Argent Tournament are given entrance. Here they will face new challenges, battle new foes, and achieve new glory. The coliseum includes new gameplay options for the most hardened of veterans in ten and twenty-five-player Heroic modes as well as a five-player dungeon. Read more about the Crusaders' Coliseum.

  • New Battleground: Located north of Icecrown, the Isle of Conquest bristles with activity as the Horde and Alliance go head-to-head in a bid to control the resources that could mean their victory against the forces of the Lich King and his Scourge. The upcoming content patch, Call of the Crusade, will introduce the new Isle of Conquest Battleground, where players will be able to battle forty-versus-forty to control this critical location. Read more about the newest addition to our Battleground system.

  • Battleground Experience Arrives: War brings experiences few would choose to endure in their lifetimes; and yet, in Azeroth, it is the way of the world. With the upcoming content patch, players will be able to gain experience within the Battlegrounds for completing objectives and actions that yield honor. If you want to play Battlegrounds without leveling, a small fee can be paid to disable a player's ability to gain experience, and players who make this choice will face only those opponents who have chosen a similar fate. Lead Content Designer Cory Stockton explains more about the new experience system for Battlegrounds and gives an in-depth briefing on the features found on the Isle of Conquest in our recent Battleground Q&A.

  • New Argent Tournament Updates: The Argent Crusade continues to call forth the bold and brave to take up arms against their enemies and overcome the threat of the Lich King. In the upcoming content patch, Call of the Crusade, the Argent Tournament expands into two new points of interest, adding new dailies, new rewards, and new challenges for the heroes of Azeroth. Read more about these new additions.

  • Updated Druid Forms: Druids will find a host of new textures for two major forms, cat and bear. There will be five different designs for each of these forms for the Horde and Alliance. Take a look at the new artwork here.
