Aggrend, WoW Classic Game Producer, posted today on the official forums some significant changes coming not only to the soon to be released Blackwing Lair raid but also some general changes as well.

For example, the “Adventure Awaits” quest experience buff has been increased from 40% to 100% which should make it easier for players wanting to level an alt with a lower time investment.

The full list of changes can be seen below!

Hi Everyone,

We gathered a lot of great data over the weekend and our designers have made or are in the progress of making adjustments to bosses in Season of Mastery Blackwing Lair, as well as several additional general adjustments to Season of Mastery realms.

We are planning to restart the Season of Mastery PTR realms on Thursday February 3 at 3:00 PM PST to pick up these changes.

General

The amount of loot dropped by bosses in Onyxia’s Lair, Molten Core, and Blackwing Lair has been in creased by 1 item per boss.
There is now a chance to “proc” additional potions, elixirs, and flasks when max-level alchemists craft any of these types of items.
The “Adventure Awaits” quest experience buff has been increased from 40% to 100%.

Blackwing Lair

The global health buff applied to all creatures in Blackwing Lair other than Vaelastrasz (whom has his own hand-tuned health values) has been removed.

The damage component of the Unstable Chromatic Drake’s Azure Bolt ability has been removed.

Vaelastrasz
