This Week
All week, open Group Finder (default hotkey: I) to queue for any Battle for Azeroth dungeon on Normal or Heroic difficulty.

Alternatively, get a group of veteran dungeoneers together and travel to one of the Battle for Azeroth dungeons on Mythic difficulty:

  • Atal’Dazar
  • Temple of Sethraliss
  • The Underrot
  • The MOTHERLODE!!
  • Freehold
  • Shrine of the Storm
  • Tol Dagor
  • Waycrest Manor

Look for the following all week long:
  • Chronicler Shoopa in Zuldazar or Chronicler Toopa in Boralus has a quest for you – Emissary of War. Or, if you forget to pick it up there, you can start it within the Adventure Journal.
    • Quest requirement: Complete 4 Battle for Azeroth dungeons on Mythic difficultly.
    • Rewards: One loot box containing a piece of gear from Heroic difficulty Battle for Dazar'alor.
  • Passive bonus: The final boss in each dungeon drop additional loot on all difficulties (except Mythic Keystone difficulties.)

Every Week
The Bonus Events system consists of a rotating schedule of different activities, currently scheduled to run each week beginning on Tuesdays. Each Bonus Event grants a passive bonus to a particular game activity and offers a once-per-event quest with a noteworthy reward for accomplishing a related goal. The in-game calendar can serve as your one-stop reference for the event schedule. The Adventure Guide also offers a direct link to active Bonus Events, allowing you to easily accept any associated quests.

    Agreed. It's dumb.

    As a side note, I'm a heroic raider that hasn't fully cleared heroic yet and already basically don't need any gear from it due to Mythic+ dropping 400 gear and being relatively easy.

    I agree gear is very easy to come by today. I have been playing Battle for Alt's, much different than Legion, which was all Raiding and M+, now I am just doing alt's, mogs runs, old Surarmar questline, etc...and I play casually and a lot of my alts are i375-i385. I haven't Raided and barely run M+, but maybe once per week or none at all, and I still easily reached i385.

    But have to remember since the new BoD raid, i385 isn't that special now, i385 is Normal Raid gear, and [H]eroic Raid gear drops i400+, and Mythic Raids i415+. In my eyes to be nicely geared in BfA now, you should be i400+, that's impressive.

    Fun times ahead!

    Gear is not that easy, Heroic gear etc. Is casual nowadays. So 390 is casual / not caring at all. The more serious players are around 400. I don't understand the complaints.
