A New Way to Adventure - WoW Classic Season of Discovery

With the Season of Discovery, players can look forward to a revamped experience as they set foot in Azeroth.

In total, each class will have 12 unique runes to discover within the initial 1-25 leveling brackets. These runes can be acquired through various means, keeping players engaged and motivated to explore the vast world of WoW Classic. Be prepared to embark on a journey of discovery like never before.

Unveiling Gnomeregan Raid

One of the highly anticipated events in the Season of Discovery is the upcoming Gnomeregan raid. Set to be the next major raid at level 40, Gnomeregan will offer a thrilling challenge for players. As the story unfolds, Horde players will have the opportunity to teleport directly from Stranglethorn Vale to Gnomeregan, making the raid accessible and convenient. Get ready to test your skills and camaraderie as you venture into the depths of Gnomeregan.
