There are a lot of special events happening in World of Warcraft to commemorate the game’s 20th Anniversary. One of these events is a special scenario that takes us back to the Gates of Ahn’Qiraj, the site of one of the game’s most memorable events of the past, to help out everyone’s favorite bronze dragon, Chromie!

Level Range & Group Size

The Codex of Chromie is a unique event that you can queue for in the Dungeon Finder. You’ll need to be at least level 15 to join.

The scenario is designed for 10-20 players. The Dungeon Finder will attempt to match you with a group of 2 tanks, 3 healers, and 15 damage dealers, but you may get a different composition. For example, you may have only one healer, or only 10 damage dealers. The scenario adjusts accordingly.

Weekly Quest

Be sure to pick up the weekly quest, Chromie’s Codex, from Chromie at the celebration grounds outside the Caverns of Time (62.6, 50.0). The quest awards a Bronze Celebration Cache of Treasures and 3 Bronze Celebration Tokens for completing the scenario. She can also queue you up in the Dungeon Finder.

The Codex of Chromie Rewards

You’ll get a Chromie’s Premium Goodie Bag and 2 Bronze Celebration Tokens as rewards for queueing in the Group Finder for the first time each day. Subsequent runs will award a Chromie’s Goodie Bag instead.

As mentioned above, the weekly quest, Chromie’s Codex, awards a Bronze Celebration Cache of Treasures and 3 Bronze Celebration Tokens.

The Codex of Chromie Scenario

The scenario itself is fairly straightforward. You’ll be helping Chromie correct some distortions in an instanced version of Silithus. We’ll go through each of the potential objectives of the scenario below. There is a preparation stage, and then three random objectives followed by a final boss objective. The entire scenario should only take about 10 minutes to complete.

Chromie’s Plan

• Prepare to assist Chromie

When you enter the scenario, you’ll arrive at Cenarion Hold at the center of Silithus. You’ll have a brief preparation phase while the group fills up, like at the start of a battleground.

On The Move

• Follow Chromie

You’ll have this objective in between every other objective as the group moves from one location to the next. Hop on your flying mount and follow Chromie to the red X on your map. Be sure to fly through any floating hourglasses you spot as they will give you a stacking 1% buff to your main stat, Sands of Power.

If you fall behind, you can use the Return to Chromie special ability to teleport to Chromie’s location.

Horrors of Hive’Ashi

• Distortions defeated

This is one of several possible objectives you can get when the scenario starts. You’ll be fighting some unwelcome guests at Hive’Ashi, north of Cenarion Hold. When your group has slain enough of them to fill the progress bar, you’ll be On The Move again.

Southwind, Shuffled

• 11 Codex calibrated

For this objective, you’ll be fighting some out-of-place enemies at Southwind Village – 11 sets of them, to be exact. You’ll see each group marked with a yellow dot on the mini-map.

Scattered on the Sands

• Collected energy

This is another of the random objectives you can get over the course of the scenario. You’ll need to run through the golden orbs all over the ground to collect the redirected energy. To do this quickly, run through the glowing boots along the way, as they will give you a stacking Temporal Acceleration buff, significantly increasing your ground speed. You’ll also see some golden orbs in the sky along with green orbs to boost your flying speed.

Dark Rituals

• 6 Rituals corrected

If you get this objective, you’ll be disrupting some rituals by dealing with enemies in the area. Killing the active enemies will destroy the Veil of Shadows shields on the inactive ones, allowing you to defeat them and progress the objective.

Role Call

• History re-enacted

This is another possible objective that you can get in the course of the scenario. You’ll be asked to stand in for some heroes of the past. Try to be the only one standing in one of the circles. You don’t need to emote or do anything else.

Up and Away

• Projections restored

Run through the glowing sands to pick up the buff Here’s a Boost! Then jump through the projections to progress the objective.

Distortion: [Boss]

• [Boss] defeated

The last objective in the scenario will always bring you to The Scarab Dais, where you must defeat a final Temporal Distortion. This boss can be the dreadlord Tichondrius, Ossirian the Unscarred, or Kel’Thuzad.

When the boss has been defeated, you can speak with Chromie or use her portal to return to the celebration grounds outside the Caverns of Time in Tanaris. Note that this will not take you out of the group.

With that, we’re done! You really helped me out. Just like you always do! Or is this the first time…?
