Patch 0 . 10 World of Warcraft Client Patch 0 . 10 . Pre - release patch . Major Changes . High End Locations added . Two new high - level instance dungeons - Stratholme and Blackrock Spire - and three exterior zones - Winterspring , Western Plaguelands , and Eastern Plaguelands - have been introduced to Azeroth . Raid Groups . Raid group functionality is now available . Raid groups will be able to fight together in instance dungeons and work together to accomplish tasks too difficult for five member groups . Once a group reaches five members , it can be converted into a raid group . Raid groups can support up to 40 members and can be accessed by opening the Raid group tab in the Social window . Not all raid group functionality is complete . However , we encourage our players to try it out and give us feedback on the new feature through the / suggest function . The Deeprun Tram opens ! The Gnomish Engineering Corps has been hard at work building a subway to connect the great cities of Ironforge and Stormwind City . Final work on this new mass transit system was completed recently , allowing us to announce the Grand Opening of the Deeprun Tram ! Two trains make round trip runs between Stormwind City and Ironforge regularly , allowing quick and easy access to all your shopping and training needs . If you happen to miss a train , you only need to wait a few minutes for a new one to appear . We only ask that you be careful during your trip as the run out of the tunnel can be long and uneventful should you happen to fall off the tram during transit . Trade Skills become Professions . Most trade skills are being renamed to " professions , " and the way in which players acquire and learn them is changing . You will no longer learn different professions by paying for them with skill points . You ' ll still learn them by speaking to the appropriate profession trainer . However , players will now be restricted to learning two professions . We decided to change the skill system to make it simpler , balanced , and more intuitive . The new system should allow everyone to participate in one to two professions , and create a much more vibrant market for goods generated from professions . The professions are : alchemy , blacksmithing , enchanting , engineering , herbalism , mining , leatherworking , skinning , and tailoring . Several old trade skills are being turned into secondary skills . These do not count toward your two - profession limit , so players can learn all three secondary skills , in addition to their two professions , without restriction . The survival skill is being removed and campfires have been folded into the cooking profession . The secondary skills are : cooking , fishing , and first aid . No More Skill Points . With the changes to trade skills , skill points ( SP ) will be removed from the game , and currency will be used instead to train skills formerly based on SP . Mount trainers will now require you to have a certain level of reputation with their respective city in order to acquire a mount . Characters that had trained in more than two professions have had excess professions randomly removed to meet the two profession restriction . Level Cap Raised . The level cap has been increased to 60 . Some new zones , quests , items , and content have been added to accommodate the level increase . Other Changes . Public Transportation : . New Flight Paths The Horde flight path node in Desolace has been moved to Shadowprey Village in the southwest of the zone . New World Travel Because of these changes , players now do not start with any flight node other than their starting city . On the Alliance side , Night Elves get Auberdine , Dwarves and Gnomes get Ironforge , and Humans get Stormwind . On the Horde side , Tauren get Thunder Bluff , Orcs and Trolls get Orgrimmar , and Undead get Undercity .
