In addition to the two Zones released during the pre-patch (The Lost Isles and Gilneas), the release of Cataclysm Classic also makes 6 new zones available! But what is significant about these new zones? We break it down in this Zone Overview!
Mount Hyjal is one of the first new zones that players will step into at the beginning of their Cataclysm Classic journey. Mount Hyjal offers quests for players who are around levels 80-82 and leads to the new Blackrock Caverns Dungeon.
In Mount Hyjal, players will be able to gain reputation with the Guardians of Hyjal. Notable rewards from the Guardians of Hyjal include Wrap of the Great Turtle, Belt of the Ferocious Wolf, and the Arcanum of Hyjal head enchant.

Vashj'ir is another option for players to begin their level 80-85 leveling journey. This zone is particularly unique since it is the first zone ever featured in World of Warcraft to be completely submerged underwater. Luckily, players will be granted aquatic mounts and unlimited water-breathing to help them take on this level 80-82 zone.
Vashj'ir will eventually lead players to the similarly-themed Throne of the Tides Dungeon. This zone will give players the opportunity to increase their reputation with The Earthen Ring, who offer Flamebloom Gloves, Signet of the Elder Council, and the Arcanum of the Earthen Ring head enchant.

After completing one of the starting zones, players will make their way to Deepholm! Primarily targetting players who are level 82-83, Deepholm also leads to The Stonecore Dungeon.
After completing a lengthy quest chain, players will unlock the Therazane daily quest hub. Increasing your reputation with Therazane will grant access to shoulder enchants such as Greater Inscription of Charged Lodestone, Greater Inscription of Shattered Crystal, and Greater Inscription of Unbreakable Quartz.
