New Arathi Highlands Campaign



While attention has been focused on Khaz Algar, a new enemy has risen in the Arathi Highlands, threatening to shatter the tenuous peace between Stromgarde and Hammerfall. Join Faerin, Danath, and Geya'rah as they attempt to expose a conspiracy, defuse tensions, and grapple with the legacy of Arathor. Experience this new storyline with branching viewpoints based on your character’s faction as you brave the journey ahead.

Learn more about the Red Dawn Rising campaign from our article.



Go Lorewalking with Lorewalker Cho


Meet with Lorewalker Cho in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, or Dornogal to experience iconic lore moments in Azeroth in the Legacy of Arathor content update. Players level 10 and above can explore three storylines carefully curated by Lorewalker Cho to learn more about Xal’atath, the Ethereals, and The Lich King. Each storyline consists of previous quests and a few new ones.

Learn more from our previously published article.



Overcharged Delves


Power up with Titan machinery to explore new depths and face new challenges within six Delves throughout Khaz Algar in the Legacy of Arathor content update. You’ll be able to amp up the challenge with a new Delve-specific affix and earn some shiny loot.

Engage with Titan 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.

New UI Options: Combat Assistant and Single-Button Assistant


We’re introducing two additional options in the User Interface (UI) to help you learn a new class or relearn an alternate character. These new options are also a great way to provide additional accessibility to players who may need a little extra help.

Assisted Highlight: When enabled, Assisted Highlight will highlight the recommended next ability based on resources and the situation your character is in. Configured as an additional option to assist with damage rotation no matter which specialization you’re using, this new option 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.

Single-Button Assistant: For those who want or need a little extra help, there is also the new Single-Button Assistant. This is a single button that can be used to cast the next recommended damage dealing ability in the sequence. This assistant is designed to aid those who are looking for additional help, or for those who want to experience the story or game on a more casual basis. There is a small additional global cooldown added between abilities when using this feature.The feature will also detect when an Area of Effect (AoE) spell or multi-target ability should be used when you’re out in the world.

Master the timeways and you can also earn the new Chrono Corsair skyriding mount... and more.



The Greedy Emissary Returns the Week of July 1

We’re bringing back the Greedy Emissary event! During this event you’ll be able to encounter even more of these deviously greedy treasure goblins in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, Dornogal, and Undermine for new diabolical rewards— including a mount.

    Actually my suggestion to some of the posters would be to completely unsub. Maybe they did that already, no idea...it is just the same names posting for years how they lost confidence, how devs betray them, how the game sucks, how they don't enjoy it.

    Now having quit and still lurking on forums to use every opportunity to shit on the state of the game.

    ...wait...

    Now imagine still paying to play what one so dislikes.

    I don't remember ever getting an insight from them how this works. But maybe they are the kind that secretly loves the game, but just picks things to blow them up on the forum.

    Or it is the kind of mindstate of "my wife cheats on me every week, but I love her so and we stay together" Something...something... codependency...sunk fallacy...pick your own problem.

    Also do we know if we get a heroic lootbox during turbulent timeways? Still missing a bit of transmog, but im too lazy to keep raiding.
    The screenshot looks like the recolor of it we had back in T4 content. Dark brown and black.

The only things that will be impacted are things that rely on real time combat information, so damage meters, DBM, WAs for raid/class mechanics etc.
    Majority of addons serve combat function. When they block AddOn access to all combat and buff data, tehy effectively kill majority of addons. What we will be left with are RP profilers and other frivilous things.

    Pretty sure that's not true and it's not even close.

    well when the dungeon event is active the end boss drops an extra bit of loot, so maybe all bosses in old content will drop an extra piece or two of loot? would be great for dungeon farming and old raid farming. personally, I would love to see all the Legion relics either get yeeted completely from retail or given the designation of "bonus loot" so it doesn't affect transmog farming in those raids/dungeons

    edit: seems you can loot legacy bosses twice per lockout during the Greedy Emissaries event. gotta get those mount runs happening I guess?

    Obviously they are talking about Timecap’n Hooktail. I mean, a pirate time dragon? Blizzard lost touch with reality if you ask me.

    I don’t know. I really like the Paladin, Warrior, Druid, and Rogue versions.
    Monk is also good, but it’s not really a t2 set so I can’t count that as a comparative.

    Tried the overcharged delves on the ptr early in the development, but was to buggy to figure out of, but it was easy enough then. Hope they amped(pun) the difficulty a bit more to make it a bit more challenging as Delves have been a lot easier in season 2 than the first.

    I like that they do stuff like this, hope it turns out well.

    I am so excited for the story to move forward and really interested to see how they set up the next big patch and zone. I hope they don’t time gate the storyline quests this time.
