So, as with every patch, there's some immediate runaround to acquire the new stuff. While we're bored and waiting for the servers to be back up and Icecrown to be broken for the first day or two, let's look at just what those new things are.
- Glyph of Quick Decay - If you plan to go affliction, you'll need this. It's even an arguable pick for meta/ruin, though not necessarily a must have.
- Runed Signet of the Kirin Tor - Hope you already have a Kirin Tor ring, because if you do, you can get an immediate upgrade for it. This ring is an upgrade from all but a very few rings you may have, so it's almost a certain pickup. Cost: 1000g plus your Inscribed Signet of the Kirin Tor
- Battered Hilt - a trash drop in the Icecrown 5 mans, and the beginning of Quel'Delar, Lens of the Mind.
- Ashen Band of Destruction - You'll need friendly with the Ashen Verdict for this, most likely this won't be happening the first week due to Icecrown gating, but it's still a good idea to remember that one. This is the first upgrading reputation ring of Wrath of the Lich King, but it joins a long tradition dating back to the Brood of Nozdormu. It's known versions are itemlevel 251, 259, and 264. The exalted version is presumed to be 277.
- Emblems of Frost - queue for a random heroic and get two from your first heroic of the day. At raid time, grab some friends and go hit the raid weekly quest for another 5.
- Portable Hole - for those willing to drop 3000g each, here's a 24 slot bag. Non-unique, so you can fill your bank with them if you just absolutely must spend in excess of 20,000g in two minutes.
- Pets! Breanni in Dalaran will have new stock available for pet collectors at 50g each, including a calico cat.
- Dread Pirate Ring - A 5% experience boost heirloom ring, stacking again with the shoulders and chests. This time it's not that easy to come by - you have to win the Kalu'ak fishing contest.
