Release Date?

Blizzard has announced the release date! Patch 7.3.5 goes live January 16th (US) and January 17th (EU). Below is our original speculation on when the patch could launch - we predicted the 16th.
No official release date for Patch 7.3.5 has been announced. However the final Antorus LFR wing opens January 16th and there are PTR mounts Patch 7.3.5 Content Hub Inv_misc_qirajicrystal_04

There is a lot of Allied Race data in the 7.3.5 PTR, and while this could point to getting Early Access via Battle for Azeroth preorders (similar to Demon Hunters and Legion), they will likely not be available at the start of 7.3.5. There has been no official statement from Blizzard on the Allied Race data, except that it is a Battle for Azeroth feature.

We've written a post speculating that Patch 7.3.5 could go live on January 16th.

Leveling Revamp

The outdoor and dungeon leveling experience receives major changes in Patch 7.3.5:

Zone Scaling: The quests in each zone will scale up to a cap. However, the minimum level for each zone varies from zone to zone and you'll need to achieve a certain level before starting certain zones. In addition, they are now letting you do certain expansions in a different order if you choose.
Additional Leveling Changes: The experience required to hit level 60 has increased, heirlooms award fewer stats at low levels, mobs have higher health pools, and the low-level flying trainer requirements are streamlined.

New Legendary Acquisition Method

Purified Titan Essence: Turn in 1000 Wakening Essence for 1 Purified Titan Essence. This creates a Legion Legendary appropriate for your loot specialization. If you have all legendaries for your class, you will get a BoA legendary token for another class.
Wakening Essences will be acquired 6x as fast in 7.3.5. Learn more in our 7.3.5 Legendary Overview.

Zone Updates

Faction Embassies: Stormwind and Orgrimmar now have faction embassies, which eventually will serve as the starting point to recruit Allied Races. These embassies also have dialogue between all the faction leaders.
Wound in the World Updates: This zone has received more environmental updates, including pets, rare spawns, and toys like Doomsayer's Robes.
Faction-Specific Silithus Questline: See how the Alliance and Horde start squabbling again, after the events of Antorus, in this questline.
Visions of Ogmot the Steadfast: A rare elite in Silithus drops the interesting journal Ogmot's Dream Journal, leading to lots of lore speculation. This journal was later updated to reflect the Ogre dialect.
Nighthold and Thunder Totem: These two cities have received significant updates, likely in preparation of the Allied Race storyline.

Transmogrification

Trial of Style Season 2: New rewards for this transmogrification holiday are more interesting than their Season 1 counterparts--they are recolors of popular sets, or complete versions of formerly-incomplete sets.
New Quest Weapon Appearances: As part of the leveling revamp, many low-level quests have weapons added, to aid those without heirlooms. However many of these weapons serve a transmogrification purpose, as they resemble weapons removed in Cataclysm or are brand-new recolors.

Ulduar Timewalking

Ulduar Changes on Patch 7.3.5 PTR: Ulduar is a new Timewalking Raid in 7.3.5. Ulduar is no longer separated into 10 and 25 difficulties and now only supports a Normal difficulty. As a result, all achievements are consolidated into one size, and the old 10 and 25 player achievements are now Feats of Strength.
As a result of this change, both the 10 and 25 player rewards are earned at the same time now via achievements:
- Observed rewards Starcaller %s and %s the Astral Walker
- Glory of the Ulduar Raider rewards Reins of the Rusted Proto-Drake and Reins of the Ironbound Proto-Drake
Ulduar Timewalking Details: Learn more about the exact nature of Ulduar loot and group scaling changes in this post.

New Content

Battle Pets: New PvP achievements, Master Trainer's Tabard, Mailemental, and updates to Uuna.
Backpack: The backpack has 4 additional slots for attaching an authenticator.
Scarab Mounts: New mounts ( Sapphire Qiraji Resonating Crystal and Ruby Qiraji Resonating Crystal) have been added as part of the Call of the Scarab micro-holiday, running from January 21st through 23rd. These high-res bug models are also used for new rare spawns.
Selfie Camera: Acquire the camera through new quests in Stormwind and Orgrimmar, and upgrade it with special filters like Argus Filter.
Dalaran Mailroom: This lighthearted questline, in which you return Invincible's Reins to Johnny Awesome, rewards Katy's Stampwhistle and Mailemental. Completing the Priority Mail hardmode rewards Postmaster %s.
Uuna Scenario: Datamined dialogue points to a heart-wrenching scenario for the ghostly Draenei child Uuna.

Retiring Artifact Weapons

Retiring Artifact Weapons: At some point in 7.3.5, likely towards the end of the patch, we will experience an in-game cinematic explaining why we stop using artifact weapons. Players are concerned what will happen to the hunter artifact pet Hati, and have made a Save Hati petition.
We've also datamined a UI effect for Artifact Weapon Instability, implying that our Artifact Weapons lose power over time.

PvP

Seething Shore: This new battleground has the Alliance and Horde fighting over Azerite in a lush island off of Silithus.
New Vicious Mount: There are two mounts, one for each faction: Vicious War Fox (Alliance) and Vicious War Fox (Horde). These are available on the standard Vicious Saddle vendors, Necrolord Sipe in Stormwind or Deathguard Netharian in Orgrimmar, on the 7.3.5 PTR.

Professions

Rich Illusion Dust: This dust replaces many of the Enchanting reagents for level 1-60 content. It is currently used for 43 recipes.

Cutscenes

Cinematics and cutscenes are some of the most anticipated content of a new patch. So far we have datamined the following:

Allied Race Intro and Unlock Scenarios: Each Allied Race has a special intro cutscene when a character is created, and the Nightborne have a few additional cutscenes explaining why they join the Horde.
Retiring Artifact Weapons: Learn the reason why our artifact weapons lose their power.

Allied Races

Allied Races are a new feature announced at BlizzCon 2017 for Battle for Azeroth. However, four of the races have significant data updates in the 7.3.5 PTR data, so we are including them in this post. We do not know when these races are available. However, based on past history with Demon Hunters and preorders, one can speculate these Allied Races will be available to play as part of Battle for Azeroth preorder, sometime after 7.3.5 goes live but before Battle for Azeroth proper.

Unlock Requirements: To unlock each Allied Race, you must complete a relevant quest achievement and hit Exalted with the related faction. This achievement is marked as account-wide progress. You must also have a level 110 on that server, and have Battle for Azeroth purchased, to create that Allied Race.
Allied Race Character Creation Screen Requirements: Through datamining, we learned you need to have Battle for Azeroth purchased, and completion of the Allied Race Quest achievement (eg Allied Races: Void Elf) to create that Allied Race.
Allied Race Customization: Wowhead's Dressing Room supports full customization of the Void Elf, Highmountain Tauren, Lightforged Draenei, and Nightborne Allied Races.
Jokes and Flirts: We have videos and transcriptions of all the jokes and flirts for the Allied Races!
Racials and Mounts: Each Allied Race has a set of unique racials and mount.
Heritage Armor: For reaching 110 on an Allied Race without a leveling boost, you receive a highly-detailed cosmetic armor set.
There may also be matching weapons and tabards.

Dark Iron and Zandalari

Not much is known about the Dark Iron and Zandalari Allied Races. From the official website:
Even more allies await in unexplored lands. As heroes of the Alliance adventure through Kul Tiras, they’ll have a chance to recruit the Dark Iron Dwarves. In Zandalar, champions of the Horde can convince the Zandalari Trolls to join them.
These will likely be available at a later point in Battle for Azeroth. We know a few details about these races:

Their heritage armor sets were revealed at BlizzCon 2017.
Zandalari can be Druids and their travel form is a raptor.
Blizzard is considering Death Knights for Dark Iron Dwarves.
Racials, customization options, mounts, and unlock requirements are unknown.

Class Changes

Mythic+ Combat Resurrection Change: In an interview with Forbes two months ago, Morgan Day announced they were looking at how combat resurrections function in Mythic+ Dungeons. Now on the 7.3.5 PTR, combat resurrections are a shared resource in Mythic+ Dungeons, recharging every 10 minutes.
Hunters have many new pets to tame in the upcoming patch!
