Blizzard has officially detailed some of the other big changes included in World of Warcraft patch 5.3, including the modifications made to the Brawler's Guild system, which now allow members to go on new challenges, earn unique rewards, and relive some of their already-fought battles.

World of Warcraft is continuing to receive lots of love from developer Blizzard who's now working on patch 5.3 for the online role-playing game.

We already heard that the update brings some big changes to the pet battle mechanic to make them a bit more predictable, and now the studio posted on its blog details about some of the changes headed to the Brawler's Guild.

According to the studio, the new and improved Brawler's Guild allows players to undertake new challenges, earn unique rewards, and relive their past encounters.

"To start, two new tiers will offer Brawler’s Guild members the opportunity to reach rank 10, and will introduce eight new bosses. We don’t want to ruin the surprise and explain each fight, though, so it’ll be up to you to discover who these mighty foes are, and what they can do. Trust us, you’ll need plenty of Healing Potions," the studio said.

"Also new to the system are Challenge Cards. Whether out in the world fishing, doing some Archeology, or just sightseeing and finding a musically-talented grummle to /dance with, these new cards can be used to open up a quest and gain access to twelve new exclusive bosses! Keep a close lookout for the words, "RETURN TO BRAWLER'S GUILD.""

Another major improvement is the ability to relive previous boss encounters. After players defeat a tier of Challenge Car boss, they can visit and NPC who sells challenge cards and the option to repeat the encounter.

Last but not least, for those who really enjoy the Brawler's Guild, patch 5.3 adds the option to visit a VIP lounge.

"For the Alliance, you’re already familiar with the roped-off doorway that leads to the mysterious area overlooking Bizmo’s Brawlpub. Spill blood, earn recognition, and you will be able to head on up! For the Horde, Garrosh begrudgingly loaned out a zeppelin to Brawl’gar Arena, where you can find refreshment and a scenic view!"

As of yet, it's unclear when the final version of World of Warcraft patch 5.3 is going to appear.
