The new season also brings a new PvP Ladder, increased item level gear, and new rewards: Arena title: “Verdant Gladiator,” Rated Solo Shuffle title: “Verdant Legend,” a new weapon illusion, tabard, cloak, pennant, weapon appearances, Verdant Gladiator’s Slitherdrake dragonriding appearance, and new Vicious mounts–Alliance and Horde-themed Moonbeasts.
NEW WORLD BOSS: AUROSTOR THE HIBERNATING
Aurostor follows a strict sleep regimen, and one must never poke a sleeping bear. However, Fyrakk’s assault on the Emerald Dream has disturbed the Furbolg Wild God’s precious sleep cycle, rousing him from his slumber too soon. Completely deprived of sleep, a raging Aurostar attacks any passersby, attempting to wear himself out.
