Take your adventures further in the Legacy of Arathor, our next content update. You’ll amp up the challenge in Overcharged Delves, get a helping hand with the new Combat Assistant and Single-Button Assistant… and more.
New Arathi Highlands Campaign
While attentions have been focused on Khaz Algar, a new storm is brewing in the Arathi Highlands. Tensions are rising between the Horde and Alliance; join Faerin and Danath as they attempt to quell the rising tides of hostility between the two factions in a new multi-quest campaign. You’ll get to experience this new two-chapter storyline with branching viewpoints for each faction as you play through.
Players will receive a few new rewards for their efforts:
Read and listen to the Heartlands 5-part audio novella before you head into Arathi Highlands.
Go Lorewalking with Lorewalker Cho
Players level ten and above can speak with Lorewalker Cho in either Stormwind,Orgrimmar, or Dornogal for a renewed questing experience. You’ll step back into some iconic lore moments in Azeroth with both previous quests and a few new ones.
There are three available repeatable quest chains:
While Lorewalking, you won’t be able to undertake any other quests, but you’ll be able to exit any time you like and return to Lorewalker Cho.
Overcharged Delves
Things are about to become even more dangerous in Delves for you and Brann. We’re introducing a new Delve-specific affix to six Delves to push you to new feats of heroism (or to earn more shiny loot.)
You’ll engage with rare new enemies, more traps, and unlock traits in a new trait tree specific to Overcharged Delves. Selecting the right traits can turn the tides of traps by making them more beneficial rather than a detriment to your progress.
Additional New Rewards
New UI Options: Combat Assistant and Single-Button Assistant
Combat Assistant is a new feature coming to the game that highlights the recommended next ability based on resources and the situation your character is in. This feature is designed to help new players, players who are trying out a new specialization, or those looking for additional guidance on the abilities they should use without the need to turn to third party apps or outside guides. This new feature is configured as an additional option that is part of the base UI to assist you with a damage rotation no matter which specialization you’re using.
In addition, a Single-Button Assistant can be used to cast the next recommended ability in the sequence. This assistant is designed to have a small additional global cooldown added between abilities so that it is still useful for learning new skills, aiding those who are looking for additional help, or for those who want to experience the story or game on a more casual basis. It will also detect when an Area of Effect (AoE) spell or multi-target ability should be used.
Both of these new options should aid in lowering the barrier of entry for new players or players looking to explore new characters in a way that’s meaningful to them. As with the new Cooldown Manager added in the 11.1.5 content, it will continue to evolve over time.
The Greedy Emissary Returns
Later during this content cycle, we’ll be bringing back the Greedy Emissary event. During this event you’ll be able to encounter even more of these deviously greedy emissaries in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, Dornogal, and Undermine for new diabolical rewards— including a mount. You won’t want to miss some truly iconic rewards including recolors of classic Tier 2 armor sets for your characters.
Paladin Armor Set
From Left to Right: Deathknight, Hunter, Mage Armor Sets
From Left to Right: Monk, Shaman, Evoker Armor Sets
From Left to Right: Warrior, Druid, Priest Armor Sets
From Left to Right: Rogue, Demon Hunter, Warlock Armor Sets
Alongside this event, we are also providing a Collector’s Bounty buff which will aid players in the hunt for legacy loot by increasing drops in legacy content throughout Azeroth. We’ll share more details when we are closer to its release.
Slip Into the Turbulent Timeways With Battle for Azeroth!
During this update cycle, we’re refreshing Turbulent Timeways with the addition of Battle for Azeroth in the rotation. This event will span six weeks, beginning and ending with Battle for Azeroth.
We’ll have six new Timewalking Dungeons for players to undertake— Atal’Dazar, Freehold, King’s Rest, Shrine of the Storm, Temple of Sethraliss, and Waycrest Manor. Players can also shop at a new Battle for Azeroth vendor that can be found in the harbors of Boralus and Dazar’Alor.
Master the timeways and you can also earn the new Chrono Corsair skyriding mount... and more.
We’ll share more details about these events and more in the coming weeks. . In the meantime, you’ll be able to head into the Public Test Realm to check them out.
