The 10.2.6 Content Update Arrives March 19

It's important to note that Dragonflight season 4 will go live several weeks after the release of the 10.2.6 content update. For heroes working toward the Amirdrassil Feats of Strength, you'll need to obtain Ahead of the Curve: Fyrakk the Blazing before Season 4 begins, and the achievement is no longer available to earn.

We look forward to sharing more about the adventures ahead! Stay tuned to the official World of Warcraft site to learn more of what's in store.

  • Fixed a bug where it was possible to complete the Whizbang encounter and not receive Trading Post credit for it.
  • Players can now collect missing cards by using the Hearthstone Gameboard toy to defeat others in a friendly game. It will continue to drop cards after the event ends.
  • The event duration has been extended by 96 hours, and is now scheduled to end on Friday, March 22.
  • For the remainder of the event, the boss portal will open every 30 minutes (was every 60 minutes).

Thank you very much!

Patch 10.2.6 - Build Encrypted on wowlivetest2
Patch 10.2.6 has been pushed to wowlivetest2, an encrypted version of the "wowlivetest" product, deprecating the old public one. This typically occurs approximately one week before the release, suggesting that Patch 10.2.6 should arrive sometime soon.

Note that Patch 10.2.6 already includes all the data required for Dragonflight Season 4, although hidden. According to the February Roadmap, Dragonflight Season 4 will be available for testing on a 10.2.6 PTR shortly after the patch goes live.

Patch 10.2.7 - Encrypted wowv2 Build
Patch 10.2.7 was pushed to the encrypted endpoint wowv2 last night, indicating that we'll likely see it open for testing sometime after 10.2.6 goes live. This build should contain new 10.2.7 content as previewed in the February Roadmap, such as Timerunning: Pandamonium, Harbinger Quests, Troll & Draenei Heritage Armor Quests, and a new Holiday Event.
