User Interface and Quest Updates in The War Within™

We’re making some improvements to the User Interface and to quest icons in The War Within™ that will help navigate your adventures even better— including a new arachnophobia filter!

Players can open the map (Hotkey M) to view a new map key that has been added, letting you quickly and easily identify various types of quests and content.

Additional updates have been made to the quest log (Hotkey L) with an additional checkbox selector for the quests you would like to track along with additional information on the quest and its status. Mousing over the quest in the log will also identify types of quests such as whether it’s Repeatable, Important, or part of a Campaign questline. It will have an icon with three dots showing if a quest is in progress or a campfire indicating it’s part of a Warbands eligible quest.

Along with the addition of Hero Talents (available at level 71) to the Talent Pane, additional updates have been made to the Spellbook. Specializations, Talents, and the Spellbook have all been consolidated into a single Talents and Spellbook option (Hotkey N) in the interface.

Players will be able to view more of their spells and abilities on one screen with all discipline abilities more easily viewable within the pages. The search function at the top of the Spellbook will also allow players to view spells and abilities that are missing from the action bar. The Spellbook can also be minimized and passive abilities can be hidden from the list.

Reagents will now indicate what expansion they are associated with, making it easier to sort through the items you have stashed in your bank and determine if you REALLY need that Rain Poppy you’ve been saving from Pandaria or if it’s really time to just let it go.

For those who have an aversion to spiders and would rather not see them on your screen while adventuring, a new Arachnophobia Mode is available within the Game Menu (Escape Hotkey) Options under Accessibility in the General section.
