Expansion: Cataclysm

The 50% experience buff Joyous Journeys is now back in Cataclysm Classic, encouraging players to level their characters in anticipation of the final phase of the expansion. Phase 4 does not have a release date yet, but brings with it the Dragon Soul raid and a trio of new dungeons.

The buff is active by default, but can be disabled by speaking with an innkeeper in a major city. You’ll be able to take advantage of it all the way to the level 85 cap. The buff will be going away when Phase 4 arrives, so now’s the time to get those characters leveled!

The time to strike at Ragnaros the Firelord is now as you prepare for what challenges lurk ahead in Cataclysm Classic. For all stalwart champions beginning a new journey or continuing their odyssey in Azeroth, take advantage of the Joyous Journeys experience buff which increases experience gains by 50% for all players up to level 85!

Finish leveling a character, create a new one, or invite friends to join you in Cataclysm Classic. The buff is active by default, but you can visit any innkeeper in the capital cities and Dalaran to turn it off or on again.

Take advantage of the Joyous Journey’s experience buff now until the next major Cataclysm Classic content update. It’s an excellent opportunity for new and returning players to level up and join in the fight— for Azeroth!

*Experience buff not available in modern World of Warcraft®, World of Warcraft® Classic Era, Season of Discovery, or WoW Classic 20^th Anniversary Realms.
