The mystery patch is upon us! There are also several other events happening this week in World of Warcraft. Here’s the rundown:
Patch 10.2.6
The actual content of this patch has been kept a big secret, though there have been some hints that it will be pirate-themed. Patch 10.2.6 releases tomorrow, March 19th, so we’ll soon have all the details of what this limited event entails!
The Trial of Style
Transmog fashionistas rejoice: the Trial of Style is back this week, running from March 20th through the 26th. Head to the nearest Transmogrifier to queue up for this unique six-player scenario in which you must put together an outfit from your collections to suit a given theme, and then strike a pose while the group votes on the best one. The rewards, of course, are more transmog pieces. You can also earn some extra Trader’s Tender this week by completing activities in your transmogs.
Battleground Bonus Event
This week’s bonus event takes us into PvP battlegrounds for extra Honor and rewards. You can pick up the weekly quest from Kazra in Valdrakken or through the Adventure Guide and win four random battlegrounds to receive 5 Marks of Honor. You’ll also have a 50% bonus to all Honor gains in battlegrounds this week.
PvP Brawl: Shado-Pan Showdown
This week’s PvP Brawl takes place in Tiger’s Peak Arena, where you’ll race to control the center point in order to activate and defeat the other team’s boss. You can queue for this battleground in the Player vs. Player tab of the Group Finder.
Hearthstone 10-Year Anniversary Event
There’s a special event taking place through March 22nd for Hearthstone’s 10th Anniversary. You can head to Valdrakken, Stormwind Harbor, or Durotar to play a special version of Hearthstone in World of Warcraft and earn some unique rewards! You can also get a Fiery Hearthsteed mount in WoW by logging into Hearthstone during this period.
Each week we’ll look ahead to what’s in store for World of Warcraft, share the latest news, and keep you in the know byte by byte. Content update 10.2.6 arrives March 19.
THE 10.2.6 CONTENT UPDATE ARRIVES MARCH 19
Mark your calendar for March 19 when the 10.2.6 content update goes live with a bold, new, limited-time event. You won’t want to miss out on the fun. It’s important to note that Dragonflight season 4 will go live several weeks after the release of the 10.2.6 content update. For heroes working toward the Amirdrassil Feats of Strength, you’ll need to obtain Ahead of the Curve: Fyrakk the Blazing before Season 4 begins, and the achievement is no longer available to earn.
HEARTHSTONE’S ANNIVERSARY EVENT IN WORLD OF WARCRAFT EXTENDED TO MARCH 22
Join in Hearthstone’s 10-year anniversary celebration beginning March 11. Players can log into Hearthstone to collect a new Fiery Hearthsteed mount in World of Warcraft for free!*
Players can also seek out special “Hearthstone” matches in capital cities from March 11 to March 22. Stick around long enough and you’ll face a special encounter where you can defeat iconic minions to add to your deck and earn other fun new Hearthstone-themed rewards! Learn more about collecting the Fiery Hearthsteed and the in-game events in our latest article.
