Nightmarish Encounters Illuminate Phase 3 - Season of Revelation

One of the exciting new features introduced in Phase 3 of the Season of Discovery is Nightmare Incursions, a thrilling PvE-focused outdoor event. As avid adventurers, we understand that it can be overwhelming to face new challenges head-on without any prior knowledge. To ensure you are well-prepared for the upcoming Nightmare Incursion, we, the WowCarry team, would like to share some essential information with you.

Nightmare Incursions: What Are They?

Nightmare Incursions are immersive outdoor events that primarily focus on PvE activities, although PvP encounters may occur on PvP servers. Each incursion begins with a quest obtained from the Field Captain NPCs stationed near the dream portals in Duskwood, Ashenvale, Feralas, and Hinterlands. These quests require you to confront the new demon creatures that have recently emerged near the dream portals in each zone. After neutralizing a defined number of threats and establishing contact with an agent of the Emerald Wardens, you can return to the Field Captain to complete the initial quest. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with a satchel containing a randomized mission that will transport you into the nearby dream portal to undertake a specific task. These missions can include slaying targets, gathering resources, or even facing formidable bosses.

This content takes inspiration from the "old school" style of gameplay and differs from more modern daily quest systems. If you've ever experienced the Cenarion Hold Field Duty missions introduced in the original World of Warcraft during patch 1.9, you will notice some similarities when engaging in Nightmare Incursions. As Season of Discovery aims to recreate the Classic WoW experience, this content has been designed to seamlessly integrate with the game's other repeatable activities available in its original iteration.

Recommended Level for Nightmare Incursions

Nightmare Incursions are divided into different difficulty tiers based on the location. The incursion in Duskwood is designed for players around level 25, while Ashenvale offers challenges appropriate for those at level 40. For more experienced adventurers, Feralas and the Hinterlands provide level 50 content. Make sure to check your level and choose the appropriate zone before embarking on your Nightmare Incursion journey.

Preparation Tips for Nightmare Incursions

The Nightmare Incursion missions are marked as elite quests, and while some can be completed solo, others will prove challenging to conquer alone. Additionally, due to the randomized nature of the missions, you may receive group-based quests even if you are playing solo. Some missions may also require gathering professions such as herbalism, skinning, or mining to complete.

Therefore, we highly recommend forming a group of three to five players to tackle these challenging missions. By doing so, each member of the group can receive their own randomized mission, all of which are shareable with up to four other players. This strategy not only maximizes efficiency but also allows you to complete multiple missions in a single incursion without having to return to the waking world between each mission. Grouping will not only enhance your chances of successfully completing incursions but also accelerate your reputation or experience gains.

Discover the Secrets of Nightmare Incursions

There is much more to be unraveled within the realm of Nightmare Incursions, and we encourage you to venture forth into this exciting content and experience it for yourself. While we believe that exploration and discovery are essential elements of the game, we also recognize the importance of providing you with some preliminary information to facilitate coordination with your friends and ensure a smooth experience once Nightmare Incursions go live later this week.
