What you want to know about the World of Warcraft: Shadowlands pre-patch is mostly here. The pre-patch launched on October 13th for U.S. realms and October 15th in Europe. You can’t access the Shadowlands yet, but many of the new expansion’s features are on display. While we don’t know when we’ll be playing Shadowlands this year, the pre-patch is the first step for Blizzard transitioning World of Warcraft from the dismal Battle for Azeroth expansion to — what players hope — is a fresh start with Shadowlands. This pre-patch also rebuilds some important structures in World of Warcraft, like level, leveling, and character customization. Tons of changes should keep you busy in the meantime.
 

Let us have a look at what this new pre-patch has to offer.

Character Customization

One of the most exciting aspects of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is a complete overhaul to the character customization system inside World of Warcraft. For years, players have been stuck with older looking models that have very little variety.

With the pre-patch, players can express themselves with different jewelry, eye colors, hair colors, beard and hair options, tattoos, and more. More importantly, Blizzard has included more diverse options for players — especially in the human models — so they can create characters that represent themselves better than before.

With this change, players can now fully customize their character — aside from their playable race — inside the in-game barber shop. Players won’t need to pay for any services to change how their characters look, including their character’s sex.

 

Readjusted Leveling and Levels

The Shadowlands pre-patch comes with World of Warcraft’s first level squish. While the max level during Battle for Azeroth was level 120, the max level is now 50. How does that work? Well, any level 120 characters players had are now 50, and any characters below that will get a similar adjustment. When Shadowlands actually launches, players can level from 50 to 60.

For new characters, the level squish changes everything. Blizzard has completely redone the World of Warcraft questing situation. Instead of questing through Vanilla, Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, and all the way up through the old expansions, players now just choose one leveling experience.

Once players hit level 10, they’ll speak to Chromie, who will set them on a journey through a single expansion — like the Mists of Pandaria leveling experience, or Warlords of Draenor. The next 40 levels will only take about 10-15 hours depending on the chosen experience and player pace. Once players finish their chosen expansion, they’ll be ready for Shadowlands.

 

Class Changes and the “Unpruning”

Like all pre-patches, the Shadowlands pre-patch sees major changes to all of the game’s 12 classes. But unlike previous class changes, this patch includes the “Unpruning,” which is Blizzard’s silly word for giving numerous abilities back to classes.

Over the past few expansions, Blizzard has worked to remove some of the complexity in classes, dialing them in and taking away some of the ability bloat. While useful for easily overwhelmed, new players, this pruning process caused some players to lose abilities that made them unique — like Hunter’s bizarre Eyes of the Beast ability — and some important utility.

Players should have more abilities than when they last logged in — but we can’t guarantee that all of them will be useful. While we’ve listed the meat of the pre-patch above, there are some quests that won’t be available on Oct. 13. This includes the pre-patch event, a Scourge invasion outside of Icecrown Citadel.

This event will set up the story and prepare players for the Shadowlands expansion. But we currently don’t know when the Scourge invasion will start in-game — all Blizzard says is “shortly after the pre-expansion launch.” We expect to learn more about the new Shadowlands in the coming weeks.
