Survival Guide[]

Allied Races - Kul Tiran Humans and Zandalari Troll Now Available[]

Take the final steps to bring new comrades into your faction. Level 120 players who wish to create a Kul Tiran will need to reach Exalted with Proudmoore Admiralty and earn the achievements Alliance Inv trinket 80 kultiras01b [A Nation United] and Ui alliance 7legionmedal [Tides of Vengeance]. Those wanting to create a Zandalari character must be level 120, reach Exalted with Zandalari Empire and earn the H [30-60] Zandalar Forever! and Ui horde honorboundmedal [Tides of Vengeance] achievements. Once you complete the requirements, visit the Alliance embassy in Stormwind or Horde embassy in Orgrimmar to begin a quest chain to recruit these new Allied races.

Kul Tiras was founded by fearless explorers who sailed uncharted waters in search of adventure. As a key member of the Alliance of Lordaeron, the Kul Tiran navy dominated the seas of Azeroth with its legendary fleet.
The Zandalari are a proud people whose origins date back to the early days of Azeroth's history. Their fierce warriors ride dinosaurs into battle, and they possess one of the most formidable naval fleets in the known world.

Leveling your new Kul Tiran or Zandalari from 20 to 110 will earn you a unique cosmetic Heritage Armor set. You’ll also unlock a new mount—the Inv horsekultiran [Kul Tiran Charger] or Inv triceratopszandalari [Zandalari Direhorn]—for your collection at character creation.

New Quests[]

Many new stories and adventures are now available across Azeroth.

The War Campaign Continues[]

Sylvanas's latest scheme causes Baine Bloodhoof to seek out Jaina Proudmoore, far from prying eyes. Speak to Bluffwatcher Proudscar in Zuldazar or Halford Wyrmbane in Boralus to further your faction's agenda in this time of strife.

Tools of the Trade[]

Embark on all new profession questlines for Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Engineering, Inscription, Jewelcrafting, Leatherworking, and Tailoring, each culminating in an epic reward. If you've reached level 150 in Kul Tiran or Zandalari professions, return to your main profession trainer(s) in Boralus and Zuldazar to get started.

Magni Bronzebeard[]

Seek out the Speaker and speak with him to seek the understanding you'll need to address the fate of Azeroth. Level 120 players should heed Magni's call to continue the story and earn an item-level increase to your Inv heartofazeroth [Heart of Azeroth].

Hati[]

All level 120 Hunters of Azeroth should speak to the Image of Mimiron located in Tradewinds Market in Boralus or the Great Bazaar in Zuldazar. You'll discover more about Hati's whereabouts and make a future with your spirited companion by your side once again.

New Naga World Quests[]

Beneath the depths something sinister stirs...

The serpentine forces of Queen Azshara are boldly venturing onto the beaches of Kul Tiras and Zandalar—strike them down!

New Tortollan World Quests[]

A turtle made it to the water? Not on your watch.

Brawler's Guild is Back[]

There's a murder mystery afoot, and you're going to have to fight to find the answers. Available at level 120, this series of rowdy boss fights is open once again in Bizmo's Brawlpub near the Deeprun Tram in Stormwind and Brawl'gar Arena in the Ring of Valor in Orgrimmar. Of course, Brawler’s Guild is accessible by invitation only, so if you've never been inside, you'll need to acquire an invitation. Enemies of the opposite faction in Zandalar and Kul Tiras now drop invitations, and a new vendor named A. Shady occasionally has them for sale in Orgrimmar and Stormwind. Brawler's Guild has new bosses, a new questline, new transmog gear to be won, and a new mount: Inv viciouswarbasiliskhorde [Bruce]! He's a good boy.

Wintergrasp is now an Epic Battleground[]

War is rekindled in the frozen north! 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).

New Raid - Crucible of Storms[]

Beneath Stormsong, dark secrets of the Old Gods have been kept for ages. Beginning the week of April 16, 2019, assemble your raid and face the fearsome servants of N'Zoth in two boss encounters: Restless Cabal and Uu'nat.

Warlords of Draenor Timewalking[]

Mark your in-game calendar for the first ever Warlords of Draenor Timewalking bonus event, coming in May 2019. Two new mounts are now available: Inv iron horde elekk [Beastlord's Irontusk] and Inv wolfdraenormountred [Beastlord's Warwolf]. Take a trip back in time to challenge:

Battleground Updates[]

The timeless World of Warcraft battlegrounds—Arathi Basin and Warsong Gulch—have been given a full makeover.

New Mechanical Parrot quest[]

Inv mechanicalparrotpet [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.

New Portal Rooms[]

In Stormwind's Mage Quarter and Orgrimmar's Valley of Strength, new venues are now open where your faction has consolidated gateways to the other continents of Azeroth, Outland, and Draenor.

Holiday Updates[]

Children's Week has been updated with new quests, new rewards, four new pets, and new Kul Tiran and Zandalari orphans. Other holiday additions include:

Darkmoon Faire[]

Silas Darkmoon's island is the perfect place for Azeroth's first rollercoaster. For the low, low price of one Inv misc ticket darkmoon 01 [Darkmoon Ride Ticket], you'll thrill! You'll scream! You'll keep screaming. You can stop screaming now.

New Micro-holidays[]

Achievements[]

Characters[]

  • The limit on the number of characters that can be created on a realm has been removed. The account-wide character limit remains at 50.

Classes[]

Creatures[]

Dungeons[]

Island Expeditions[]

  • Added Island Expedition armor tokens to the Inv misc azsharacoin [Seafarer's Dubloon] vendor for players leveling through islands to create gear for their item level. The tokens are Bind on Account so players with excess Dubloons can buy them and send them to their alts.
  • Updated Seafarer's Dubloon bags so that at least one will always drop from an Island Expedition victory. This change significantly increases the amount of Dubloons a player will get as they complete their weekly islands.

Items[]

Player versus Player[]

  • Players who have earned their seasonal mount reward in rated PvP may now progress toward earning Vicious Saddles, up to a maximum of 10 Vicious Saddles per season.
  • Druid
  • Hunter
    • Spell yorsahj bloodboil black [Tar Trap] will now break an enemy player out of stealth if they are the one to activate the trap.
  • Priest
  • Warlock
    • Destruction
      • Spell shadow ragingscream [Demon Armor] now increases Armor by 150% (was 275%).
        • During Battle for Azeroth Season 1, we identified that Warlocks were taking too much damage from physical sources during PvP. We remedied this by adding a new PvP talent, Demon Armor, which increased their physical mitigation to match characters wearing Plate Armor. As we've been monitoring Season 2, we feel that the armor increase caused Warlocks to become too tanky in the current meta. This change effectively brings their physical mitigation close to that of Mail Armor (about 36% at ilvl 415), when it was previously similar to Plate Armor (about 45% at ilvl 415).
  • Warrior
