It falls to you to crush the Iron Horde before the Dark Portal is completed and the invasion begins. Travel to the Draenor of the past: a world of giants and monsters, a world the fearsome and legendary orc chieftains call home. Face the dangers of this untamable world and bring down the Iron Horde—before both the past and the future are lost forever.

Warlords of Draenor launches worldwide this fall, and you can prepare for the coming invasion now by immediately* boosting a character to level 90 with your pre-purchase of the expansion digitally.

To stop Garrosh’s engines of conquest, you’ll need to recruit allies to your cause and construct a mighty Garrison; explore all-new zones, dungeons, raids, and scenarios across Draenor for resources to aid in your quest; and achieve new heights of power on the way to the new level cap of 100.

Interested in boosting more than one character to level 90 right away? In addition to the boost you get with your Warlords of Draenor pre-purchase, you also have the option of buying additional character boosts directly through the Shop in-game.

Warlords of Draenor is available for pre-purchase digitally in standard and Digital Deluxe editions. The Digital Deluxe Edition comes with a cache of in-game goodies for your favorite Blizzard games, including a Dread Raven mount and Dread Hatchling pet to accompany you in World of Warcraft, Grommash Hellscream and Blackhand Battle.net portraits to intimidate your foes with in StarCraft II, and a battle-torn Warsong Pennant to fuel your demon-slaying rage in Diablo III. What’s more, like the instant character boost, these will be available to you immediately upon your pre-purchase of the expansion.*

Warlords of Draenor will also be available as a retail-exclusive Collector’s Edition (in limited quantities), which comes with the in-game extras from the Digital Deluxe Edition along with an array of awesome artifacts from the physical realm, including a hardcover art book, behind-the-scenes Blu-ray/DVD set, Warlords of Draenor mouse pad, and CD soundtrack featuring epic music from the expansion. Check with your local retailer for pre-ordering details. We’ll have more specifics to share on the Collector’s Edition closer to the game’s launch.

For more information on this fall’s launch of Warlords of Draenor, check out the official press release and the Warlords of Draenor web page.

Level 90 Boosts Now Available
You are now able to purchase Level 90 Boosts for $60 in game! Your boosted character gets:

  • Item level 483 gear. You can quickly upgrade to the epic item level 496 gear from Timeless Isle chests.
  • 150 gold
  • 4 Embersilk (22-slot) bags
  • A stack of 20 food items
  • If a boosted character was already level 60 or above, their existing Primary Professions and First Aid are bumped up to level 600, as mentioned above
  • A faction-specific flying mount - a traditional Wind Rider for Horde or Gryphon for Alliance
  • Artisan flying - that’s one rank below max flight speed
  • Northrend, Kalimdor/Eastern Kingdoms, and Pandaria regional flying skills trained





Digital Deluxe - Dread Raven Mount and Pet
The Reins of the Dread Raven is the Digital Deluxe edition mount that goes with the Dread Hatchling Digital Deluxe edition pet.

When you pre-purchase the expansion* or purchase a standalone character boost from within the game, a Character Boost token will appear on the character-select screen in World of Warcraft. Once you purchase it through either method, you can click the token to apply your boost at any time—no need to use it right away if you’re not ready. Keep in mind that character boosts are irreversible, so it’s a good idea to make sure you’re boosting the character you really want to.

If you boost a level-60 or higher character, you’ll also get an extra bonus: both of your Primary Professions will be bumped up to 600, so you’ll be an instant pro at your chosen callings. If you’re boosting an existing character and want to change professions, just make sure you train the professions you want before you apply the boost. Also, if you’re not quite level 60 yet (but thiiiiiiis close), you might want to consider holding on to your boost token until you earn those last couple of levels—your boost will still be waiting for you when you’re ready.

Check out the Character Boost web page, watch our video guide, or read the support article for lots more information.

Q: Can I apply my character boost to any character on any World of Warcraft account?
That depends! If you pre-purchase the expansion, the Character Boost token will only appear when you’re logged in to the WoW account you upgraded to Warlords of Draenor. If you purchase a standalone character boost, you’ll be able to use it on any eligible World of Warcraft account on your Battle.net account.
Note that if you’re upgrading to Warlords of Draenor directly from the World of Warcraft Starter Edition, it may take up to 72 hours for you to receive your character boost.

Q: When will I receive my in-game goodies if I pre-purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition?
If you pre-purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition, you’ll receive the World of Warcraft pet and mount right away, along with the in-game bonuses for StarCraft II and Diablo III.

Q: Can I get a character boost immediately if I decide to pre-order a physical standard or Collector’s Edition from a retailer?
Players who purchase either the physical standard edition or physical Collector’s Edition from a retail store will get their character boost when they receive their copies at the launch of the expansion.

If you’d like to receive your character boost immediately*, several options are currently available:

  • Pre-purchase the expansion digitally through the Battle.net Shop.
  • Pre-purchase the Digital Standard Edition or Digital Deluxe Edition from GameStop in the U.S. or (coming soon) EB Games in Canada (paid in full at the time of pre-purchase). You’ll receive a code redeemable on Battle.net that will unlock your level-90 boost immediately* and also unlock a copy of the expansion pack when it releases.
  • Select retailers in the U.S. are also now selling Battle.net Balance gift cards. You can use these to charge up your Battle.net Balance to pre-purchase a digital copy of the game through the Battle.net Shop and unlock your level-90 boost immediately (sales tax may apply).

*Players upgrading to Warlords of Draenor from World of Warcraft Starter Edition must wait until trial restrictions are removed before character boost becomes available (may take up to 72 hours).

    They put it at this price because of the 90 boost, wether you even want it or not. They sent out a survey to random people some time ago asking if they would be willing to pay more for it.
    It's ridiculous.

    And December as the latest timeframe? Have fun in SOO I guess.. I'm glad I unsubbed in Jan.

    Please pay attention to the word: before.

    Release window is "Fall 2014," so they set the date as the last day of Fall. Because you need to have a date before you can accept pre-orders or pre-purchases. It's a common practice done by pretty much every retailer before a release date is nailed down.
  1. mmoceeceb76e25's Avatar
    Time to unsub at least until release, Blizzard have had some balls in the past but if WoD doesn't come out until late December it might well be their biggest piss take ever.

    I'm not wasting my time/paying for another 8 months of this already tired old content. What a joke.

    I really hope this is just a very conservative date.. because it is just incredible that they would make SoO last that long. With all the talk of speeding up expansions and all that. I am literally shocked by that date. I am really hoping it is only them needing to have a date an just using the last day of autumn for legal reasons.

    It is just beyond me how they could have fallen so far behind since Blizzcon. At Blizzcon one of the devs mentioned that they hoped to have the expansion out before summer..

    Yep, you get the mount and pet as soon as you buy it.

    My guess is yes with the price, no with the date. Interesting though.

It was only about time, cool thing called inflation, rather them charge 10 bucks more for the xpac than raise my sub fee.

    As for release date oh well, not like I can do anything about it. Doubt it'll take until December though.
    It's not about the difference, it's about the message behind it. The shareholders need to see profits, and with WoW's descent in popularity those profits need to come from somewhere. 10 bucks a players might not be a great difference for the vast majority of players, but they know they can get away with it, much like they got away with mounts and now they will with paid boosts.

    Soon you'll (we'll) be paying for each tier as a separate addon and the concept of expansion will die. Mark my words. (and ofc the tier prices won't drop to reflect that)

    lol @ price, inb4 they bring up the 'we spend lots of resources on new char models'-card
  1. Azutael's Avatar
    Scheduled for release on/or before December ?! I seriously hope it will come out long before that.
    The price is rather steep, and no doubt it will be even higher for E.U, as usual.

    Biggest shock to me is the proposed release date, what the hell are they smoking. They can't really afford another long period of no new content in WoW, it's madness.

    Hmm, any specific reason why this expansion will cost us $10 more than any other expansion before it?

    If it has to do with the Level 90 Character Boost, I have no intentions of using it and I'd rather not pay extra for it. I know it's just $10 bucks, but considering they'll be raking in mad dough from people using the $60 service over the course of the next several months, I fail to see why everyone else has to pay more.

    Also, they always set the release date as "on or before sometime in December". It gives them a wide birth without having to commit to a set date. Obviously, it'll be out long before that.

    Indeed, they're being trolled and fallen for it hook, line and sinker.

    sadly anything after june in my eyes is a failure in terms of release date. I am suspecting sept release. The problem is they have said they are further along than mop at the time of blizzcon. Yet by now we had an idea of when the beta started for MOP. still no date for WOD beta and its almost mid march. If the release isnt by August my sub will most likely be gone for good. A year of Siege is stupid especially considering they said themselves that it takes too long between final tier and new xpac and they plan to fix it.

    Do you really think that's the only valid reason people can have to be upset about the price?
