World Of Warcraft: Wrath Of The Lich King Classic’s pre-patch resurrects Death Knights today

rockpapershotgun.com:

World Of Warcraft Classic returns to the Wrath Of The Lich King expansion in September, but there’s a pre-patch coming today that resurrects the game’s first hero class a little early. The Death Knights aren’t the only thing arriving in WOW Classic before the expansion though, as there’s a fresh profession and a zombie infestation to consider too. Have a watch of some of the senior dev team discussing Death Knights in the video below.

Death Knights are former heroes reborn into the undead service of WOW’s lich king, Arthas Menethil. They were introduced with the Wrath Of The Lich King expansion all the way back in 2008 as the MMORPG’s first hero class. That means they start at a higher level than other classes, and get their own special intro experience.

You can only have one Death Knight per realm, but your first one is free of restrictions unless it’s created in one of the fresh start realms that arrive along with the pre-patch today. If you want to create another Death Knight then you’ll need a Level 55 character who’s already in that realm before you can bust out another undead minion of the Lich King. You can read the full deets about how Wrath Of the Lich King Classic’s Death Knights are different from their modern cousins here.

Among the other updates arriving in today’s pre-patch is the option to become a scribe thanks to the Inscription profession. You’ll be able to sign up for scribing by finding an Inscription trainer in any capital city, in Honor Hold, or Thrallmar in Outland. Scribes can learn to craft magic items and wards such as scrolls, tomes, Darkmoon cards that can be combined into decks, skill-enhancing glyphs, and the powerful master inscriptions. Glyphs work differently in Wrath Of The Lich
