There are a large amount of changes so I suggest reading over the official patch notes after this shortened version. All achievements award 10 points unless otherwise noted.

Reputation

Changes to Ambassador Title in 4.1
In this case, if you have the achievement you'll keep the title. If you're close to getting the achievement, you might want to hurry and get it before 4.1 because after 4.1 you'd need to also gain the additional rep to meet the requirements, earn the achievement, and get the title.
Same as it was for Loremaster or Explorer, if you had the achievement you still have the achievement, even though the requirements changed.
Feat of Strength
- A new feat of strength with an associated title, "the Camel-Hoarder", has been added for players that have bested Dormus and obtained the Reins of the Grey Riding Camel -- because there must always be a Camel-Hoarder. Scourer of the Eternal Sands Obtain the reins of the Grey Riding Camel from Dormus the Camel-Hoarder.
