WoW Forever: Dalaran gets guards, battlemasters and a quest

Dalaran, which opened to Alliance players in WoW Forever, received a round of changes in the final build of the beta, according to one report from that build. Blizzard has not announced them itself, and the city could still change before launch on 4 November, which is midnight on 5 November in Central Europe.

Guards are the most visible change. Arcane Sentries now stand more prominently around the city and are level 55 elites, and Kirin Tor Guards point players to the inn, the profession trainers and a transmogrifier. Next to the profession trainers the city now has some class trainers too, including a Druid trainer and a Mage trainer.

In the Underbelly, battlemasters let you queue for every battleground, including the new Darkspear Islands. 'Baroness' Llana, the Arena Organiser in Wrath of the Lich King, is now the Alterac Valley battlemaster.

Alliance players can also pick up a new quest, Past Due, from Magus Olvek, who asks you to defeat Arcanist Doan, the final boss of the Scarlet Monastery Library, and loot him. Players of the World of Warcraft trading card game may recognise the quest giver.

The most practical change is a missing portal: the one from Dalaran to Stormwind is still there, but the portal from Stormwind back to Dalaran appears to be gone. Theresa Wolf seems to be conjuring something in the Silver Enclave, where Alliance portals stood in Wrath of the Lich King, so a way back may open later. This is a single report, and Blizzard has not confirmed any of it.
