New Raid: Crucible of Storms
A long submerged evil stirs beneath the Shrine of the Storm. The whispers that drove Lord Stormsong to madness echo within the depths, a siren song of eldritch power. Those who listen and obey prepare dark rituals to carry out their master’s will. Whatever nightmarish schemes fuel their fantastical devotion, one thing is certain: they must be stopped.

Raid Unlock Schedule
  • April 17—Normal and Heroic Difficulties
  • April 24—Mythic and Raid Finder Difficulties


PvP Updates
New Epic Battleground
Brace yourself for the return of the cold bite of Wintergrasp where you’ll compete against the enemy faction in a massive 40-player battleground. For the first week of this content update, Wintergrasp is featured as a Brawl. Thereafter, you’ll find Wintergrasp in the Epic Battleground selection in Group Finder (default hotkey: i).

Updated Battlegrounds
Step into two classic battlegrounds—Arathi Basin and Warsong Gulch— to experience newly updated graphics with the same epic gameplay you know and love.

New Brawl: Comp Stomp
Head into Arathi Basin for a head-to-head battle against AI opponents. This new Brawl will be available March 20. Use the Group Finder tool (hotkey “I”) in the Player vs. Player tab to take part.

The War Campaign Continues
New chapters in the War Campaign for the Horde and Alliance take the story beyond the Battle of Dazar’alor as Sylvanas’ latest scheme causes Baine Bloodhoof to seek out Jaina Proudmoore, fare from prying eyes.

War Campaign Mounts
Players who complete the War Campaign on both a Horde and an Alliance character will earn new achievement—Two Sides to Every Tale— and new mount reward—the Bloodflank Charger (Horde) and Ironclad Frostclaw (Alliance).

To earn this new achievement, you’ll need to have completed A Nation United, Zandalari Forever, Tides of Vengeance (Alliance), and (Tides of Vengeance Horde).

The Return of Hati
If you’re a level 120 Hunter, you’ll want to speak to Image of Mimiron located in Tradewinds Market in Boralus or the Great Bazaar in Zuldazar to get started on a new quest chain. You’ll learn more about Hati’s fate, and maybe even reunite.

Companion App Updates
The Companion App has been updated to include a new calendar feature, social feature, and updated support for new World Quests so you can keep on top of everything going on in Azeroth wherever you go.

New Portal Rooms
New portal rooms are now located in Stormwind within the mage tower and just inside the front gates of Orgrimmar where your faction has consolidated gateways to the other continents in Azeroth.

New Pets
Raiding with Leashes VI: Pets of Pandaria
Take to the Mists of Pandaria Raid dungeons Mogu’shan Vaults, Terrace of Endless Spring, and Heart of Fear to collect the following 11 new pets:
  • Amberglow Stinger: Drop (Blade Lord Ta’yak – Heart of Fear)
    The glow emanating from these is both calming and eerie at the same time when in total darkness.”
  • Kor’thik Smarmling: Drop (Imperial Vizier Zor’lok – Heart of Fear)
    “Don’t let these eat after midnight, legend has it that it’s very dangerous.”
  • Living Amber: Drop (Amber Shaper Un’sok – Heart of Fear)
    “The mantid are extremely reliant upon amber for many things, and even use it in some of their magic.”
  • Spawn of Garalon: Drop (Garalon — Heart of Fear)
    “The kunchong are extremely aggressive and will eat just about anything they can as soon as they are able to walk. If they can’t eat it, they will smash it instead.”
  • Ravenous Prideling: Drop (Grand Empress Shek’zeer — Heart of Fear)
    “As a spawn of the most dangerous sha, this little monster has some big plans, but needs to wait a few thousand years first.”
  • Baoh-Xi: Drop (Qin-xi –Mogu’shan Vaults)
    “For being an inanimate object for many centuries, this statue sure moves around really well.”
  • Comet: Drop (Elegon – Mogu’shan Vaults)
    “The Engine of Nalak’sha is defended by many mighty beings, and many tiny beings.”
  • Stoneclaw: Drop (The Stone Guard —Mugu’shan Vaults)
    “Quilen were the favored companions of the ancient Mogu race due to their loyal nature.”
  • Azure Windseeker: Drop (Tsulong – Terrace of Endless Spring)
    “This little cloud serpent’s favorite activity is chasing its own tail.”
  • Spirit of the Spring: Drop (Lei Shi — Terrace of Endless Spring)
    “The elemental spirits of Pandaria have been known to plan tricks to play on unsuspecting visitors years in advance.”
  • Wayward Spirit: Drop (Gara’jal the Spiritbinder — Mogu’shan Vaults)
    “Crossing into the spirit world too often can be dangerous for your health.”

Upon earning the Raiding with Leashes VI: Pets of Pandaria achievement, you’ll also receive the pet ‘Happiness’ as a reward.
  • Happiness: “This thing is equally as evil as it is adorable.”

New Mechanical Parrot quest
Feathers the parrot is now available to add some mechanical squawk to your collection. Speak to Gazlowe in Zandalar Harbor or Kelsey Steelspark in Boralus to get started.

Check back soon for the complete update notes.

    Excluding every useless shit like pets, brawler's guild, new races and updated textures, in half a year we get 2 new bosses, old bg and war campaing, which I don't like at all, but this is subjective. So it's 2.5 pieces of new content. No dungeons like Karazhan, ilvl in crucible is the same like in BDA, no class changes with such specs as frost dk being a gimp in both pve and pvp, on the other hand destro-locks obliterating everything. Blizz, hello?

    To be fair, it's a minor content patch, a x.5 patch. I think it's a lot considering that.

    But more importantly

    I guess you could look at it that way, but I choose to see it as more story for Hati!

    Excluding more useless shit like mini-raids and changes to classes I don't personally play, there isn't a single thing in this patch at all.

    I love brawler's guild and it's good to see wintergrasp get refreshed.

    You do realise that interim patches don't normally contain this much content, right?

    Do you raid at all? I mean, raiding is one of the primary forms of end-game content, so how is a new raid useless? Or are you only interested in big raids?

    Who is Ion Hazzakostas? Maybe he's a friend of Ion Hazzikostas.

    In any case, I'd hardly call Brawler's guild, a mini-raid and some Hati love to be 'turds'.

    any news about new 120 heirlooms? We got it on 12th ?
  1. Volardelis's Avatar
    I find it odd that Shek'zeer drops a pride based sha, even though she was corrupted by fear, not pride.

    The prideling would be better off Garrosh, but he is in SoO and not the first 3 MoP raids.

    Why not? They don't have to write about every single thing. For example blue post haven't included Outland/Northred map update.

    What about FLYING, and HEIRLOOMS, you know stuff to make me want to play....

    I am wondering, I got one character with the 21k rep in proudmore and I got one character that done the nations united, do I have to have it all on one character in order to get the new races?
