Nobody enters the 9 Dec raids knowing best-in-slot.
- An item's stats show once it drops for you or someone on your server.
- There is no Dungeon Journal at first. Raid bosses stay unpublished until you go in.
- Wowhead's beta coverage on 21 Sep puts the default bank at 48 slots, with 8 bank bag slots, up from 6.
- Greenfield's earlier guess was 96 slots. Character bags still start at Classic size.
Unconfirmed whether the 48-slot bank ships at launch; it comes from beta coverage.
