- Expansion: WoW Classic
Blizzard has been teasing that at least one more phase of content will be making its way to Season of Discovery following the release of Naxxramas, the final raid of vanilla World of Warcraft. Phase 8 will contain all-new content for WoW Classic, and it now has a release date, April 8th.
The new phase will include new outdoor content in the town of New Avalon, accessed from the Tyr’s Hand elite area in Easter Plaguelands. Players may recognize this location as part of the Death Knight starting area from Wrath of the Lich King, but it looks quite a bit different now. The area is now accessible on the Classic Era PTR, and populated with high-level elite Scarlet Crusade mobs. It seems that we will be infiltrating the town in disguise to complete quests and unlock new profession recipes and other rewards.
Two days later on April 10th, the highly-anticipated Scarlet Enclave raid will open. This raid will feature eight new boss encounters and will reward new 8-piece class armor sets. There will also be a new legendary weapon for Hunters, Paladins, and Warriors that will entail restoring “a fallen weapon to its former glory.” Savvy players can likely guess what weapon this is, and it has also been seen in the datamining, but we’ll leave it at that for anyone who wants to be surprised!
The journey through Season of Discovery culminates with Phase 8 beginning on April 8! Experience new outdoor content, a new Legendary weapon questline, new stories and surprises, and the Scarlet Enclave raid dungeon.
Schedule:
- April 8:Â New Outdoor Content, profession content in New Avalon, and Scarlet Enclave-related quest content.
- April 10:Â Scarlet Enclave Raid and Legendary Weapon Questline Available at 1:00 pm PDT globally.
Infiltrate New Avalon
Go behind enemy lines in disguise as you infiltrate the town of New Avalon within the Scarlet Enclave. Gain the trust of the citizens and tradesmen, learn new recipes, earn new rewards, and more.
New Legendary Weapon Questline
Warriors, Hunters, and Paladins can undertake an epic quest to restore a fallen weapon to its former glory. Will you succeed, or will this storied weapon remain shrouded in darkness? The future is uncertain.
New Raid: Scarlet Enclave
A splinter faction of the Scarlet Crusade needs your aid in fighting an insidious evil at Tyr’s Hand. They need your assistance in retaking the Scarlet Enclave for good, glory—and new rewards. Players can engage with eight new bosses as they make their way through this new raid dungeon and collect new eight-piece armor sets for their class.
