This Week in Warcraft: Festivities and Unlocks
The world of Warcraft is buzzing with activities this week as various events and updates unfold. Here's what's in store for adventurers globally:
Hallow's End Kicks Off
Hallow's End festivities are in full swing, bringing a host of new rewards and opportunities for players:
- Headless Horseman’s Mount: Players have a daily chance to collect the updated version of this iconic mount. The old version remains available with a higher initial drop chance.
- Horseman’s Ensemble: Collect a guaranteed new piece each day per character. With dedication, players can use multiple characters to amass the full ensemble quickly.
- New Transmogs: Purchase new transmog items with tricky treats, scattered throughout Azeroth.
- Experience Buff: Visit the Wickerman in Under City or Stormwind to gain a 2-hour experience boost from its ashes.
Tricky treats serve as the primary currency for various holiday rewards, easily collectable across the game world.
Season 3: Turbo Boost
As Season 3 unleashes its "Turbo Boost," several exciting elements come into play:
- Cap Lifts: The crest cap is lifted, allowing more Valor Stones trading within warbands.
- Catalyst Charges: These start dropping from season content like Rated PvP and raids.
- Delve Rewards: More loot will drop, and hero trinkets can be bought with new currency from higher level bountiful delves.
Notably, the requirements for earning the first piece of gear include clearing normal and higher difficulty raids or mythic plus dungeons.
Legion Remix Phase 2
Legion's remix enters its second phase, opening up new areas and opportunities:
- Return to Karazan: It returns, possibly as a mega dungeon or split for mythic keystone actions.
- Night Hold Raid: This direct opening provides more raiding opportunities.
- Suramar Campaign Conclusion: This marks the end of additional quests, streamlining the player experience.
Gear cap increases are anticipated, potentially adjusting around the low 600 item levels. This might affect the use of modes for newer players or alts.
Additional Highlights
- Catalyst Week and Renown: Players can pillage lines for catalyst charges. Renown 12 with the mana forge vandals becomes reachable.
- Battleground Events: The battleground bonus event and Deep Six brawl are live.
- Mythic Plus World Updates: It’s a tyrannical fortified week, adding a dynamic layer to dungeon gameplay.
Lastly, the far-off alpha reveals phase 4, promising the final leveling zone and the release of the remaining talents, including Apex talents for all classes.
It's a packed week full of rich content and updates for players to explore and enjoy, with much to look forward to as the expansion edges toward its finale.
