The expansion opens up new zones and introduces new content for players to experience. It also spawns a new hero class, Death Knights.

Glyphs are now available to socket into a player's weapon, providing unique effects. Players can acquire them through Inscription, which requires Herbalism to obtain materials.

The Lich King resides on Icecrown. To destroy him, players must conquer several new dungeons and raids.

Borean Tundra

Borean Tundra is one of two starter zones for the expansion. When servers could not handle the flow of players emerging into the initial zone at the start of WotLK, developers decided to split it in half. Horde players will help pre-warchief Garrosh Hellscream with his objectives here, while Alliance heroes are tasked with aiding the Kaskala tuskarr.

This wide, barren Northrend zone features a mixture of landscapes. Hard but farmable soil leads to nourishing steam pools in the south, while nasty cliffs shear off into the west.

The region is home to the tuskarr and their blue dragonflight, the Drakkari tribe of ice trolls, and the armies of the Undead Scourge. It also houses the lowest-level instance in the game: Utgarde Keep.

Coldaara

In addition to the new zones, Wrath of the Lich King introduced a host of new dungeons and raids. The Nexus, Utgarde Keep and the Icecrown Citadel all required players to take on some of the toughest content in WoW’s history. The expansion also introduced the hero class Death Knight, allowing players to create powerful melee heroes that can summon minions and heal themselves with a variety of spells.Those that want to understand wotlk classic gold, they will Get More Info.

The Forsaken, led by Banshee Queen Sylvanas Windrunner, have set up a base of operations called Vengeance Landing in the Howling Fjord. They have also taken control of a world PvP zone called Lake Wintergrasp. Both factions are fighting for control of the zone and the rewards that it offers.

In Patch 3.1, Blizzard introduced the Heroic dungeon system. This allows each raid in Wrath of the Lich King to be played in either 10- or 25-player mode, while maintaining its own progression. Moreover, older raids such as Naxxramas and Eye of Eternity have been adjusted to drop the same gear as their 25-player counterparts.

Lake Wintergrasp

Unlike previous world PvP objectives (such as the towers in Nagrand or Auchindoun), Lake Wintergrasp is an entire zone that can be controlled by either faction. When a player gets a high enough rank during battles in the zone (Wintergrasp Rank), they are granted a buff called Essence of Wintergrasp.

The buff gives them a boost to Experience gain, Honor gain and the acquisition of Spirit Shards from all Northrend instance bosses. It also allows them to spawn additional vehicles (catapults, demolishers or siege engines) in the battle.

Like the current version of the BG, there is an ancient Titan Relic housed in Wintergrasp Keep and both the Horde and Alliance want it. Whether the relic is actually important will determine how active the battle becomes. The rewards for participation need to be substantial enough to motivate players to fight for the area.

Icecrown

The mighty Icecrown Citadel dominates the landscape of Northrend, visible from far away and home to a vast army of undead creatures. It is here that the Lich King rules from his throne with godlike power over his tireless subjects and the will to bring all of Azeroth to their knees.

This expansion also introduced a host of new content, including dungeons and raids, artifact weapons, the achievement system, and much more. The level cap was raised to 80, and players could take part in the epic raid of Naxxramas – the necropolis that is the heart of the Icecrown Citadel.

In addition to the raid, the icy halls of Icecrown Citadel are filled with three separate five-player dungeons. These dungeons, Forge of Souls, Pit of Saron, and Halls of Reflection, are all available to explore in both Normal and Heroic mode. The dungeons also have a random dungeon finder, giving players the ability to queue up for any of these dungeons with ease.
