Patch notes Oct 8 – Part 1/2: Dalaran dungeon and more dungeon XP

After the maintenance on October 8, Blizzard updated the beta's development notes. The most important points for everyone:

🏰 Dungeons and experience

• New for testing: the dungeon City of Dalaran
• Enemies in dungeons give about 20% more XP
• The XP penalty for lower-level enemies in a group is once again based on your own level, as in Classic, rather than on the highest group member. If someone is far above the enemies' level, nobody gets XP, as before.
• Enemies without loot can be clicked again, as in Classic

💎 Legacy

• All beta testers have been credited with the Legacy challenge and therefore 16 Legacy points
• Redistributing points in the beta initially costs only 1 silver, and the price drops back by one step every hour

🎮 Controls and interface

• Multiple weapon swaps within one global cooldown work again (for example via macro from a two-hander to sword and shield)
• The cooldown manager supports all classes, racial abilities and trinkets; consumables will follow
• Many improvements for gamepads; layouts in Edit Mode are saved per input type
• Quest type and minimum level are now shown in the quest log and the quest tracker; "Inspect Talents" is available in the target frame menu

⚔️ PvP and items

• Critical strikes in PvP are no longer reduced
• Several dungeon quest rewards are now green instead of blue, with adjusted stats
• The new Gelkis and Magram quests in Desolace are only available from level 35 (was 30), and their rewards have been adjusted

📜 Quests

• Many quest bugs fixed, including a faster respawn for "Blackrock Blockade" and more eggs for "Break A Few Eggs"
• Quests and enemies around Shadowvale and Bandarion Keep in Tirisfal are higher level

🐞 New known issues

• New textures for the Skyborne cat form and some creatures on Zephras Isle will follow later
• Some icons in the professions window are displayed incorrectly

⚠️ What this means for you: Leveling in dungeons is once again much more rewarding than after the level 30 update.
