Patch 4.1: Map Animation, Vanity Pet Changes, and a Resort Town Preview
There will be a new animation for your character when they open a map! When opening the map or a mailbox, your character will perform an animation that resembles the action you are doing. For example, your avatar will pull out a map and scan through it. Closing the pane makes the character roll up the map.
This feature was recently removed from the 4.1 PTR but appeared on the 4.2 PTR. Here's hoping!
Non-combat Pet Update

In this patch, companion pets will stick around a lot longer than they used to. It used to be that you had to resummon your pet after walking through a portal, dying, and logging in. This appears to be no longer the case in Patch 4.1. As we noticed on the PTR, our pets that we previously summoned await us whenever we logged in or resurrected from death.
Epic Loot from World Bosses
Several rare spawns have received loot upgrades, dropping epics instead of blues.
Poseidus
, just like in beta, drops a BoE epic mount again—
Reins of Poseidus
!
Belt of a Thousand Gaping Mouths
drops from Akma'hat (formerly
Belt of a Thousand Mouths
).
Garr's Reinforced Girdle of Memories
drops from Garr (formerly
Garr's Girdle of Memories
).
Mobus's Dripping Halberd
drops from Mobus (formerly
Mobus's Vile Halberd
).
Xariona's Spectral Gauntlets
drops from Xariona (formerly
Xariona's Spectral Claws
).
Vitreous Beak of Julak-Doom
drops from Julak-Doom (formerly
Beak of Julak-Doom
).

Winterspring Frostsaber Mount Grind Changed in 4.1
The
Reins of the Winterspring Frostsaber
reputation grind has received a complete overhaul in this patch to be more akin to the Horde version (
Toxic Tolerance
). Alliance players will no longer be required to perform a tedious reputation grind, but will instead raise their own kitten to an adult! For a complete guide,

Toy Vendors
Does the thought of heading back to Dalaran for anything make you groan? In the patch, <Toys and Novelties> vendors
Craggle Wobbletop
and
Blax Bottlerocket
wander the streets of Stormwind and Orgrimmar. They sell the same wares as
Jepetto Joybuzz
in Dalaran, including the infamous
Toy Train Set
.

Patch 4.1 - Build 13850 - New Items, Icons, and Updated Map!
Old Ironforge
Old Ironforge—a previously inaccessible area of
Ironforge
—is open in Patch 4.1. Players will be able to finally glimpse the underground of the area and visit
King Magni Bronzebeard
's remains, as a petrified statue. The entrance can be found near the throne room.
Resort Town
A new locale was discovered on the PTR. A resort town that's located near the Steam Pools in
Feralas
, it's run by goblins and serves as a vacation zone. Nothing much is known about the town and how it is related to Patch 4.1. According to rumors, it might serve as a hub for daily quests.
Wailing Caverns
The years of erring through the great maze of
Wailing Caverns
at insanely slow speed are finally over. Blizzard decided to do us a favor and streamlined the dungeon, relocating some bosses and removing the very irritating tunnels in the eastern part of the cave. Check out the maps below for comparison!
