Blizzard have posted the patch notes for the latest update to World of Warcraft. What makes this patch so special is that it is the last patch before Warlords of Draenor is released next month.

With today’s launch of World of Warcraft® Patch 6.0.2: The Iron Tide, the Iron Horde’s invasion of Azeroth has begun! More than 7.4 million of Azeroth’s champions have taken up their positions on the front line, ready to face the full might of the Iron Horde, but with today's releases players can get ready with the Iron Tide content update.

The patch features a wealth of fixes and updates, but also brings some new content to it.

• “Iron Horde Incursion” World Event: players looking to upset the Iron Horde invasion can journey to the Blasted Lands to face down the onslaught and venture into the revamped five-player version of the Upper Blackrock Spire dungeon
• New Character Models: several of the game’s original races are new and improved, with increased resolution as well as updated animations and facial expressions
• Interface Improvements: questing is now easier than ever with an updated quest log and inventory changes, including a Toy Box for the fun items players acquire through their adventures
• Character and Class Changes: myriad character- and class-specific updates are now live, making this a great time for players to refamiliarise themselves with their characters ahead of the expansion’s November 13 launch
