Mid-2023 was a busy stretch for Dragonflight, between a new legendary-locked mount, a Diablo crossover event, and steady raid progression. Here is what the patch cycle delivered.
The Tarecgosa's Visage Mount
A Blue Dragonflight questline added a standout reward in Tarecgosa's Visage. The mount went to players who ran the questline and already owned Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest, the legendary Cataclysm staff, on their character. At launch only the character that owned the staff could use the mount. Because earning that old legendary was never a quick task, Tarecgosa's Visage stayed an exclusive reward for a small group of long-time collectors. It also was not on the expanded Dragonriding list at first, though it became a strong candidate as more mounts gained Dragonriding options. If chasing rare legacy mounts is your kind of grind, you can browse our WoW mount farms to skip the camping.
Expanded Dragonriding Confirmed
Blizzard confirmed in a blue post that expanded Dragonriding, including Dragonriding outside the Dragon Isles, was on the way. The catch at the time was that it would not be complete until later in Dragonflight, and it was not a feature of the Patch 10.1.5 "Fractures in Time" update. The feature did land in full with Patch 10.2.5 in January 2024, letting players soar across older zones with the Dragonriding system.
The Greedy Emissary Event
To celebrate Diablo 4's launch, the WoW event A Greedy Emissary kicked off. During the event, Treasure Goblins spawned in major cities and Dragonflight zones every thirty minutes, dropping buff charms and Diablo-themed cosmetics. The event ran until June 14, 2023, and the standout reward was the updated Tome of Town Portal cosmetic Hearthstone. One note for raiders at the time: the buff charms no longer worked in instances, so there was no reason to stockpile them for raid nights or key pushing.
The Epic Purple Shirt
Prime Gaming subscribers had a small piece of loot up for grabs in the Epic Purple Shirt. It was a quick log-in-and-claim reward, available during the same late-May to late-June 2023 window.
Aberrus Raid Progress
Patch 10.1's raid, Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible, kept groups busy through this stretch. Heroic Magmorax fell with relative ease despite its reputation, and the Echo of Neltharion took a little more effort without being a real wall. The harder tests came from Heroic Zskarn and the third phase of Scalecommander Sarkareth, the final boss, both of which demanded real coordination to clear.
