If you have the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, you can have the level 55 Death Knight per realm after one character reaches the same account of level 55. Newly built Death Knights has the ability to cast more spells compare to other characters from other classes. Despite that, the newly created Death Knights have to start with no talent points. You can unlock the talent points by completing quests in the starting area in Eastern Plaguelands.

In the beginning of the game, the Death Knights will be bestowed with a 225 kill in riding. The riding skill allows you to ride on non epic flying mounts at a speed of 150%. If you want to train the riding skill, it will cost you 250. Depending on the reputation from any race’s trainer, the cost can be reduced for up to 200. Players must train their riding skill with the respective trainer except if he is exalted with another race. If he is visiting an Outland/Northrend trainer, he is also excluded from the requirement to train with the race’s trainer.

The Death Knight uses a different combat resource system called the runes. The runes is based on the runic power which is displayed under the player portrait. The Death knight uses the runes to generate the runic power to fight against the enemies in the battle. The Death Knight is equipped with two of each rune type including blood, unholy and frost. When the Death Knight has used a rune, the rune will automatically entered into 10 seconds cool down mode before it can be reused again. The Death Knight can also transform the runes into death runes. Death runes can be used as any type of runes. Besides, the runic power can become useless after a long time the Death Knight fought in the combat.
