Triple-spec is a paid service available in the Store. After activating it you can find your third specialization and a free talent reset button in your talents tab.

No, those services will become available on Sunfury at a later point in the future.

PvE
All raids will reset on Wednesday 6:00 AM server time.
Karazhan will reset on Wednesday at 6:00 AM server time and on Sunday 6:00 AM server time.
Yes, all attunement quest chains will be necessary to complete in order to access Karazhan, SSC, TK, and later raids. Attunements will be removed as future content is released.
Bosses dropping tier tokens will drop three tokens.
Yes, that and other 2.1 patch restricted items are going to be available on release. Blacksmithing weapons will also take the "one-hand" slot.
All Leatherworking Drums are in their 2.4.3 state. Drums will require Leatherworking to use.
PvE Content on Sunfury will be more challenging than on Classic. We choose not to detail the exact changes because we believe discovering and adapting to them is part of the fun. The general philosophy behind content buffs on Sunfury is to emphasize boss mechanics and make trash packs less of a focal point compared to our previous realms.
Heroic dungeon keys will be available at Honored reputation.
The only Vanilla raid available on release will be Naxxramas. Zul'Gurub will be added shortly after and the rest of the raids in the following weeks.
PvP
The Arena Season will start one week after launch (Friday 27th October). Solo Queue will also become available then. Battlegrounds will be open since launch.
No, Solo Queue is only meant as an additional way of earning honor, arena points, and if there's enough activity, cosmetic rewards. We'll provide details with the Arena Season launch.
Yes, but your racial skills might be temporarily adjusted for the duration of the arena game if your teammates and your racials don't match the same faction.
Yes, S0 reputation PvP sets will be available for purchase from their respective vendors at Honored reputation.
If your teammate has a racial of an opposing faction and is a class higher on a priority list, your racial will be temporarily changed to match theirs for that game. The priority list for classes is as follows: 1. , 2. , 3. , 4. , 5. , 6. , 7. , 8. , 9. .
Your class being closer to the top of the list means it takes priority in dictating your team's faction when it comes to racial abilities for that match. Your racial will not be adjusted when queueing for Solo Queue.
The adjusted racials look like this:
Class | Alliance Racial | Horde Racial |
---|---|---|
This means that, for example, if you're a Druid queueing with a Rogue and they have an Undead racial your racial will be adjusted to a Horde racial for that match.
Yes, they'll be available at a reduced price, approximately 10.000 Honor points.
Yes, they'll be available but with a reduced item level (from 133 to 123) reducing their passive bonuses. The on-use effect will remain unchanged.
No, these items and other on-use Engineering items will not be usable in Arena.
Both timers are static, DR timer is 18s, Combat timer is 6.1s.
Yes, all hitboxes are the size of an Undead male character.
