  • Awakened Raids

During Dragonflight Season 4, one of the three Dragonflight raids will become Awakened each week. These Awakened raids, including Vault of the Incarnates, Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible, and Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope, will feature stronger enemies and drop upgraded loot with a higher item level. Additionally, a reputation gain buff will be enabled for Dragonflight reputations whenever a specific raid is Awakened. So, gear up and prepare to conquer these challenging raids!

  • Powerful New Rewards

Get ready to earn some amazing rewards through PvE and PvP content. With the introduction of Antique Bronze Bullion as a new currency, you can purchase fresh rewards. Defeating Awakened bosses will earn you one Antique Bronze Bullion per week per character, with the cap increasing each week. Complete all three Awakened Dragonflight raids on Heroic difficulty to receive the Voyaging Wildering dynamic flying mount and earn the title of The Awakened Hero. And for the most dedicated defenders, there's the Keystone Master mount, Infinite Armoredon, waiting to be earned. So gear up, fight hard, and enjoy your rewards!

  • A New PvP Season

  • New Player Races: Goblin and Worgen

With the Cataclysm Classic pre-expansion, we're introducing two new player races: Goblin and Worgen. These races will join the Alliance and Horde, respectively, bringing their unique skills and abilities to the battlefield. The cursed Worgen of Gilneas have harnessed their ferocity and now fight as Death Knights, Druids, Hunters, Mages, Priests, Rogues, Warlocks, and Warriors. On the other hand, the cunning Goblins of the Bilgewater Cartel have joined the Horde ranks as Death Knights, Hunters, Mages, Priests, Rogues, Shamans, Warlocks, and Warriors. Choose your side and embrace these new races in your adventures!

  • Leveling Updates and Class Changes

With the Cataclysm Classic pre-expansion, you can expect a changed leveling experience, as Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms have been transformed. You'll be able to embark on new quests from level 1 to 60 in these areas and explore the updated landscape. Additionally, new class talents, spells, and more have been introduced to enhance your gameplay. The world of Azeroth has evolved, and it's time to experience it in a whole new way!

Look your best as you explore the shattered lands of Azeroth!

Cataclysm Classic: Leveling in a Shattered Landscape

With the Cataclysm Classic pre-expansion, players will have the opportunity to experience a dramatically changed landscape in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. As Deathwing wreaks havoc, new quests will be available from level 1 to 60 in these transformed territories. However, keep in mind that some original quests will no longer be available after the shattering occurs. So, make sure to complete any ongoing quests before it's too late. Additionally, the Loremaster achievements have been redesigned to make them easier to track. Complete a set number of quests in each zone to earn achievements for that specific zone and eventually earn the Loremaster achievement for the entire continent.
