These are notes directly related to your choice of character irrespective of your race/class choice.

Professions ∞
“Superpowers” based on trade skills are not known, if they will still exist.
- Recipe world drops.
-
Quests related to tradeskills.
Gathering ∞
-
Mining and Herb nodes are shared in Legion.
- But only Legion nodes?
Crafting ∞
-
Crafted items will significant, so making them will be important for min-maxers.
- “Superpowers” based on a trade skill are not known, so perhaps crafting can be relegated to alts.
- Crafted items continue to have an upgrade feature.
-
Engineering helm: Fire a bullet from your head at the current target
- What. What? So it continues to be pointless.
-
Crafted items are meant to feel unique. Some items have class-specific procs or effects.
- e.g. a jewelcrafting neck that increases run speed by 15% while enraged.
Inscriptionist ∞
- Darkmoon Cards remain.
-
Major glyphs are removed, but minor glyphs “remain”.
- Minor Glyphs are a consumable applied directly to the spell.
- 1 Glyph per spell, but you can glyph as many spells as you want.
Exploring ∞
- Archaeology: Months long journey through the world to create more usable items.
- Tradeskills and tradeskill upgrades are found in the world.
- Class-specific quests.
-
Tradeskill-specific quests.
Kill-grinding ∞
- “Relics” for upgrading one’s legendary weapon are found in the world.
-
2 and 3-star recipe world drops
- These make you more efficient at making what you already know how to make. (e.g. mass milling)
- Rare items drop anywhere in the world.
-
World drops are now Legendary.
- Another note said “World drop items can be legendary.” (emphasis mine)
- I don’t understand what this means: “i.e. the dot can do it’s entire effect left on each dot.”
-
Every item that drops can scale up to the best item in the game but the best way to get gear is still through the most difficult content.
