In addition to introducing the new raid dungeon which Ragnaros will be the main character The 4.2 update will also introduce an encounter journal that is new, that will include the essential statistics of every boss monster in Cataclysm. According to Street, "We've been trying to make it easier for players to understand increasingly through the quest journal since it's WoTLK Classic Gold 's] only method of demonstrating how bosses operate is to make use of animations and graphics. Certain boss encounters are still sort seem like you'll have to fight the same thing a few times before you know what they are." The creator explained that the journal of encounters will provide a brief description of the primary powers each boss has and how attack on each power functions and if these powers are affected through actions of the player. The journal will also contain an inventory of the kind of loot each monster is likely to bring when it is defeated. Street said that the encounter journals will not even determine which adventure parties are best to fight who bosses or what position every player needs to stand when fighting. However, they can give players a chance to win to take on a boss their first time. The designer also pointed out that Blizzard has plans to retroactively add other World of Warcraft bosses to the encounter journal...eventually. "We declared that we were not willing to commit to the project until it could be expanded to include all of World of Warcraft 's] bosses. However, we're planning start with Cataclysm, and work back to the beginning from where we are. Cataclysm is home to between 60 and 70 bosses. However, there are about a hundred bosses in the whole game."

This 4.2 version will add an entirely new zone, called"the quest center for daily players which will include new content for those who don't want to commit their whole time exploring raid content in huge groups. "We know that not all players are player, but we would like to give players the chance to feel that they are able to hit the road and deliver an attack against the elementals of fire. In this regard it's possible to envision two massive rock islands floating over the Firelands. One is the dungeon that is a raid that includes Ragnaros and the other one is the hub for daily quests." The new location is expected to contain multiple quests that become available after you've completed the earlier tasks, and could have as many as 60 quests total with buy WOW WoTLK Classic Gold. According to Street the Daily quest center is "definitely intended for solo gamers who don't like raiding, but just want to have more content to play with."
