News Tag: WoW Classic 20th Anniversary

On March 20, the first part of WoW 20th Anniversary Phase 3 was officially launched! New content in this part includes Blackwing Lair raid, level 50 class quests, Warsong Gulch reputation lists, Eternal Quintessence, and Darkmoon Faire. I wonder how you have completed them? If you haven’t started yet, you must hurry up, because the second part will open Arathi Basin for you!

In the second week after the start of Phase 3, WoW Classic 20th Anniversary will continue to bring new changes on April 3, such as the cancellation of PVP honor rank 11 cap, and the most important resource battle that will be launched in Arathi Basin! Considering that you may not be very familiar with the original game before, we will introduce you to some things to know about fighting in Arathi Basin in detail.

WoW Classic 20th Arathi Basin

Arathi Basin in WoW 20th Phase 3 will officially open on April 3 at 3:00 PM PDT, where you will be able to join other players in a 15-on-15 resource battle. The winning team will not only ensure that everyone has the opportunity to win WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold through fighting, but also win more opportunities for their faction to continue to grow.

To make your team win, you must hone your team coordination skills with your teammates, so that you have a chance to capture and hold five different bases on the map in the battle to accumulate resources. It is worth noting that the starting point of the battle will be different depending on your faction: Alliance players will start near Stables at Trollbane Hall, while Horde players will start near the Defiler’s Den farm. After that, the first team to collect 2,000 resources wins. Here is a more intuitive list of Arathi Basin gameplay:

1. Number of players: 15 vs. 15
2. Level range: 20+
3. Capture points: Farm, Mine, Blacksmith, Lumberyard and Stable
4. Resources required to win: 2000

Arathi Basin Battleground Strategy

The above is the overall idea of ​​playing Arathi Basin battle in WoW 20th Anniversary Phase 3, but in order to minimize the confusion you will encounter when April 3 arrives, we will introduce more relevant information further.

What Is Arathi Basin?

Arathi Basin is located in Arathi Highlands. Due to its special geographical location and rich resource storage, Alliance and Horde have long used it as one of the main positions for competing for natural resources. The zone first appeared in the original game in patch 1.7 in 2005 as a control point battlefield and the associated factions are The League of Arathor and The Defilers.

How To Enter Arathi Basin?

If you don’t want to be lost when all your teammates have gathered, you need to figure out the route to Arathi Basin in advance. If you are an Alliance player, the entrance is at 45.4, 44.2 Sanctuary, and for Horde players, the entrance is at 73.7, 29.3 north of Hammerfell. Or you can find 6 Arathi Basin Battlemasters in the main cities of the game and queue up to enter Arathi Basin.

1. Keras Wolfheart: Darnassus, Warrior’s Terrace, 58, 37
2. Donal Osgood: Ironforge, Military Ward, 70, 89
3. Lady Hoteshem: Stormwind, Stormwind Keep, 78, 17
4. Deze Snowbane: Orgrimmar, Valley of Honor, 79, 29
5. Martin Lindsey: Thunder Bluff, Spirit Rise, 28, 21
6. Sir Malory Wheeler: Undercity, Royal Quarter, 61, 93

How To Accumulate Resources As Quickly As Possible?

In order to accumulate 2000 resources before the enemy team, you must work with your teammates to occupy all resource nodes completely as quickly as possible and protect them from being recaptured, because when a resource node is completely controlled by you, it will not only generate a certain amount of resources at a fixed time but also the more nodes you control, the faster the resource generation speed. If you can occupy all 5 resource nodes, the resource generation speed can even increase tenfold.

It is worth noting that these nodes do not belong to any faction before the battle begins. After that, you and your teammates can start from your starting point and expand your influence to the following areas:

1. Stables: Nearest Trollbane Hall in the north.
2. Gold Mine: Northeast corner of the map.
3. Blacksmith: Center of the map.
4. Lumber Mill: Southeast of the map.
5. Farm: Closest to Defiler’s Den in the south.

What Are Resource Node Flags?

In order to show the ownership status of the current resource nodes to all players clearly, these nodes will be equipped with flags in three different states:

1. White flag: This is the starting state of the flag, indicating that neither side has claimed the node.
2. Gray flag marked with Alliance or Horde symbol: This means that one party is attacking the node and is waiting for the original occupying party to fight back.
3. Alliance blue flag/Horde red flag: Indicates that the node has been attacked and occupied by a faction and has begun to generate resources.

If you want to capture the flag, you or your teammates need to attack any unclaimed or contested/occupied flag and gain control by guiding for 8 seconds. However, if you are damaged or stunned by the enemy during this period, the 8-second attack will be interrupted and you must start over.

After the 8-second channel is completed, the flag of the node will be contested. If 60 seconds pass without being attacked by the enemy again, the node will be considered occupied by you and start generating resources for you. But if the enemy can successfully defend the flag, the corresponding node will remain under the control of the enemy.

I believe that after reading our introduction, you will feel more comfortable in the battle for Arathi Basin in WoW 20th Anniversary after April 3. Wish you good luck!

Temple of Atal’Hakkar, also known as Sunken Temple, is a level 50-60 dungeon located below Swamp of Sorrows. Green Dragonflight guards the site, but Emerald Nightmare has quietly influenced them, allowing Atal’ai trolls to lurk in the temple and attempt to summon the ancient blood god and Hakkar the Soulflayer back to Azeroth.

Players can take on a few quests for Temple of Atal’Hakkar in Phase 1, and in phase 3, there are more class quests available. Completing these quests will earn players XP, WoW 20th gold, and unique class rewards for each class!

As a long-standing but still very popular old MMORPG, the commemorative craze brought by the 20th anniversary celebration of World of Warcraft, which began in 2024, has been successfully continued to this day through Classic 20th Anniversary server and will continue to receive updates!

In order to ensure that WoW Classic 20th can continue to attract new and old players to join, the game will be released in 6 phases in sequence. Currently in progress is phase 2, which started on January 9, but soon you will usher in the exciting phase 3 on March 20.

The core new content of phase 3 is expected to be Blackwing Lair and Darkmoon Faire. Fortunately, we have brought you information about Blackwing Lair based on predictions not long ago, so this time we will focus on helping you prepare for the experience of Darkmoon Faire.

What Is Darkmoon Faire?

You can think of Darkmoon Faire as an event in WoW 20th Anniversary, which is usually held once a month and is open in only one place at a time - the location usually rotates between Elwynn Forest and Mulgore. There are many exotic merchants who will travel with Darkmoon Faire’s owner Silas Darkmoon to bring you goodies that you can’t usually see. At that time, you will be able to exchange the goods you want through WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold or Darkmoon Faire tickets.

Specific Opening Time Of Darkmoon Faire

The opening time of the faire is usually scheduled on the first day of each month, and it is guaranteed to be Monday as much as possible, so it may start setting up at the end of the previous month or even open directly. If you want to participate in this event, you must pay more attention to the key time nodes. Since the opening time of phase 3 of WoW 20th Anniversary is March 20, this time it may be opened in advance on the basis of the end of the month to allow you to experience it.

Generally speaking, Darkmoon Faire will arrive at the corresponding location on Friday and start setting up on the weekend, then open on next Monday, and last for a week until the next Sunday. It should be noted that during the faire setup period from Friday to next Monday, although you will see members busy setting up, you cannot participate in it. If you are afraid of missing the event, don’t worry, the crier Melnan Darkstone from Ironforge and Kruban Darkblade from Orgrimmar will announce the arrival of the faire for you after Darkmoon Faire opens.

How To Find Darkmoon Faire?

Darkmoon Faire will only be held alternately in Elwynn Forest and Mulgore, the former is located near Goldshire and the latter is southwest of Thunder Bluff. It is worth noting that the specific route to go will vary depending on your faction identity.

Horde Players Route

If you are a Horde player, it will be easier to reach Darkmoon Faire when it in Elwynn Forest. The following is a specific route that can avoid Alliance guards:

• Go to the airship platform in Ogrimmar or Undercity and take the airship to Grom’gol Base Camp in Stranglethorn Vale.
• Once you reach Grom’gol, walk northeast from the camp.
• Turn left at the first T-junction and continue north until you pass through Duskwood.
• You may find a small Alliance guard camp near the intersection of the east and west roads on the right side of the road. You can turn west to avoid this, but be careful not to turn onto the road. Instead, walk north between Duskwood and Raven Hill Cemetery.
• You will then encounter a river, with the estimated coordinates being around Duskwood 30,24. Cross the river to enter Elwynn Forest.
• Continue walking north, keeping Maclure Vineyards on your right, and you will soon see Darkmoon Faire site.

Alliance Players Route

If you are an Alliance player, you may encounter Horde guards when going to Darkmoon Faire in Mulgore, but it’s okay as long as you are more careful. The route we recommend next is more suitable for Alliance players above level 40, because it is more timesaving but risky, and low-level players may not be able to deal with it.

• Once you reach Menethil Harbor in Wetlands, take a boat to Theramore.
• Once you reach Theramore, head northwest into Dustwallow Marsh, then west toward Barrens.
• Once you enter Barrens, head west, then north on the main road, and when you see Camp Taurajo, turn west toward the mountains, and just south of Camp Taurajo, take the other road west to Mulgore.
• Shortly after entering Mulgore you will see a small dirt road heading north, just east of a pond, keep the pond to your left and follow it until you find the road north again, and then you can enter Darkmoon Faire.

Darkmoon Decks And Cards

This should be the item you should focus on when participating in Darkmoon Faire event. Because at the market brought by Darkmoon Faire, there are some epic items that can only be exchanged through Darkmoon decks and cards. Once you have the cards, you will need to assemble them into 4 decks and present them to Professor Thaddeus Paleo in Darkmoon Faire. These 4 decks are:

• Beasts Deck
• Elementals Deck
• Portals Deck
• Warlords Deck

We hope that this information will help you have a great time playing Darkmoon Faire once phase 3 arrives. Thank you for reading.

While WoW 20th Anniversary will soon begin its third phase on March 20, you’ll be able to experience more new game content, but perhaps you’ve just joined the server, or you just don’t know how to improve your combat efficiency, so you may not have yet completed the dungeons and quests in the previous phases, such as Molten Core and Onyxia’s Lair.

Of course, it’s not impossible to experience the latest content directly, but if you want to accumulate more WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold for your character, you shouldn’t miss any opportunity to provide gold. So we’ve provided you with detailed information about these two dungeons.

Molten Core

To access this dungeon, you first need to go to Burning Steppes and make sure your character level is at least 60. Since Molten Core is a group dungeon, if you want to defeat the final boss Ragnaros with your teammates, you must know the specific information about the 10 bosses in the dungeon.

1. Lucifron

This is a patient and ambitious man who will wait until you show a flaw before attacking you, or substitute in when his flame summoner is in danger of being defeated by you. In addition, Lucifron and his two flame summoners guard the huge core hound Magmadar, the favorite pet of the ultimate boss Ragnaros.

2. Magmadar

As the name of the dungeon suggests, it is a terrifying behemoth made of fire and rolling magma, and is also the origin of the core hounds wandering in the earthen halls of Molten Core. When you encounter it, you will find that there are also a group of ferocious hounds around it, so you must be more careful.

3. Gehennas

This boss is at the bottom of the elemental hierarchy of the fire lords, and because of this, he has always coveted the power and status of his superiors, resulting in almost no one trusting him except his two loyal guards. In fact, these two guards believe that they may benefit from Gehennas’ promotion.

4. Garr

As one of Ragnaros’ lieutenants during War of the Three Hammers, Garr betrayed and defeated Prince Thunderran alongside Baron Geddon, and later guarded Rune of Blaz with eight Firesworn guards.

5. Baron Geddon

This is a fire elemental boss that patrols Shazzrah’s spawn area while guarding Rune of Zeth, so be careful of any attacks from him when you come near it.

6. Shazzrah

Of all the fire summoners that entered Azeroth with Ragnaros, Shazzrah has the most arcane talent, and he has been trying to intensify the conflict between Garr and Baron Geddon in order to obtain the full Talisman of Elemental Binding, which allows him to become more powerful by absorbing its energy.

7. Sulfuron Harbinger

This is also a favored flame summoner of Ragnaros, who will command Ambassador Flamelash and other lesser flame summoners from the outside world to attack you and your teammates from the depths of the infernal depths of Molten Core.

8. Golemagg The Incinerator

As you know, the most terrible soldiers in Ragnaros’ elemental forces are the lava giants, and Golemagg the Incinerator is even more powerful among them. He can even keep the offspring of Magmadar as pets.

9. Majordomo Executus

This boss is at the top of the elemental hierarchy and is the most terrible emissary under Ragnaros. In fact, he has proved his lofty status through his combat performance.

10. Ragnaros

Finally, here we are - this elemental fire lord is more terrible than any of the previous bosses. He destroyed Redridge Mountains and masterminded his rise to power in the last days of Azeroth.

Onyxia’s Lair

This dungeon is located in Dustwallow Marsh, and is also a level 60, 40-player dungeon. Onyxia will protect her new egg as much as possible within the scope of this dungeon, and it is also the habitat of Black Dragonflight. However, the arrival of you and your teammates will disrupt the balance here and will also arouse Onyxia’s anger.

What Does The Loot In This Dungeon Do?

First, to enter Onyxia’s Lair, you must obtain Drakefire amulet and put it in your bag so that you can obtain the final loot by winning the three-stage battle - they will help you complete your adventure in Azeroth.

If you are a Horde player, you can give Onyxia’s head to the chief after winning to complete Victory for the Horde quest. This will not only earn your character a lot of honor and XP, but all members who participated in the raid will also receive an additional 20th Anniversary Gold, gems, and 18 Onyxia Hide backpack.

Additionally, the rewards from this dungeon are required to complete class quests for Hunters, Paladins, and Warriors. For example, Hunters can obtain Mature Black Dragon Sinew to forge Rhok’delar, Longbow of the Ancient Keepers; Paladins and Warriors can forge Quel’Serrar by placing Unfired Ancient Blade on the ground in front of Onyxia, as long as you make sure to let this item be hit by Onyxia’s breath in the final stage and then kill her with it.

Hopefully, this information will help you earn as much gold and resources as possible in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary. Have fun!

The date of the highly popular WoW 20th Anniversary phase 3 has been announced, and players can return to Azeroth at 3 pm Pacific Time on March 20 to start your epic chapter.

The reward for the winning party is not gold or equipment, but Honor points. Players can use Honor points to redeem Honor rewards.

The above is the general content of WoW 20th Anniversary Phase 3. Players can arrange when to return to Azeroth according to your own schedule.

When you are in World of WarCraft, the first stage of the game is always the most difficult, because at this time you have neither enough XP to help your character become stronger through upgrading, nor powerful gear to arm and protect yourself, everything is waiting for you to go to the starting area to explore. Therefore, the choice of starting zones is crucial.

In 2024, WoW Classic launched its 20th Anniversary server, allowing you to experience new areas and new content, and feel the sense of achievement of upgrading from scratch in the classic version again. Since you may not have played WoW Classic for a long time before this, and the game itself has also undergone some adjustments, in order not to affect your WoW 20th Anniversary upgrade experience, you must choose your starting zones carefully.

Based on this, we have ranked the 6 zones in the game from low to high. And introduce them to you one by one. If you want to know which one is the best, please see the end!

6. Teldrassil

This is the habitat of the popular Night Elf, but it is not a good starting zone because once you leave Shadowglen, you will find that the rest of Teldrassil is full of dangerous tomb nests, which are inhabited by many monsters. Although clearing them can bring a lot of 20th Anniversary Gold, the high density of monsters is not suitable for a new character to face.

In addition, due to the circular shape of Teldrassil, you are rarely far away from your target, which makes it difficult to avoid enemy attacks by pulling away in combat. However, these are not to say that Teldrassil is useless. In fact, it may be the best of all the starting zones in terms of aesthetics, and due to its small overall area, it will save time to explore - provided that you are strong enough to defeat all enemies within range.

5. Mulgore

One reason why Mulgore is unpopular may be that Tauren race living here is not popular. Even if someone chooses Tauren, it is probably because it is the only Druid in Horde. However, what really affects the popularity of Mulgore is that although it is beautiful, it is very large. If you don’t have a mount, it may take half an hour to visit each location, and because the quests are scattered, you may even have to run all over the zone.

Even more tricky is that the danger of crossing between areas in Mulgore is also very high. For example, when you reach the wasteland, you may not be able to guarantee that you can survive smoothly, whether in Hardcore or Classic 20th Anniversary. However, the advantage of Mulgore is that the scenery here is good, and the strength of Tauren is enough to handle most quests within the range.

4. Dun Morogh

In terms of the beauty of the landscape, Dun Morogh is famous in the game community for its moving snow scenery. If you choose this as the starting zone, although it takes a lot of time to cross the entire zone, fortunately, the exploration of Ironforge and the mountains is not very difficult, and the quests can provide a lot of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold as rewards, and the difficulty is not too high.

Although there are a few dangerous caves in this zone, it is much better than Teldrassil or Mulgore, and the connection between Ironforge and Stormwind also makes the journey between areas easier. In addition, it is recommended that you go to Loch Modan to upgrade your character level before reaching Westfall.

3. Tirisfal Glades

The areas in this zone have a high quest and monster appearance rate, which can improve your gold farming efficiency. Among all the areas, Deathknell is the fastest and easiest, and the spider cave is more difficult. But after leaving Deathknell, you will find that the road to other areas will be tortuous, and you may always have to go back. Perhaps this is the main reason Tirisfal Glades did not enter the top 2.

2. Durotar

This is the starting area for Orcs and Trolls. It is vast and very difficult to cross. Fortunately, the quest density here is very high, which can ensure that your journey is fulfilling and meaningful. You can knock down three or four enemies during almost every trip, and most of the quests are also simple, just clean the map or collect some props.

In addition, Durotar’s Ragefire Chasm, as the lowest level dungeon in the game, can still provide you with some excellent equipment at a lower difficulty. However, please be careful of Fizzle and his gang, as well as Skull Rock when traversing Durotar.

1. Elwynn Forest

In fact, not only in World of WarCraft series, Elwynn Forest can even be regarded as the most famous explorable zone in most MMORPGs. For WoW 20th Anniversary players, the exploration difficulty here is not high. There is almost no real threat except for Hogger or some kobold caves. You can even get your first green out in the game through Hogger’s quest.

As for the density of quests, Elwynn Forest is even more comfortable. You will find that the quests are evenly distributed between the west and the east, and there are enough vendors to help you manage your luggage during the journey. At the same time, the difficulty of the quests is not high. Although the long journey between the east and the west may make you tired, it is relatively short compared to the walking routes of the lower-ranked zones.

Perhaps after understanding the above ranking information, you will be more willing to choose top 1 as your starting zone for WoW Classic 20th Anniversary, but in fact you can also enter those zones with lower rankings but more difficult to challenge yourself!

World of Warcraft Classic 20th Anniversary event, which provided you with a ton of new activities, rewards, and buffs, has ended, Caverns of Time have returned to normal, and most of NPCs and decorations that appeared at the celebration site have disappeared.

But if you pay close attention, you will find that one NPC has not left you. That is Alyx, a NPC you helped in Guest Relations mystery questlines. He has now moved to the hot springs northwest of Delver headquarters building in Dornogal, which can be seen on the path to Foundation Hall.

Alyx not only brings you the titles of Volunteer Event Coordinator, Among Other Things, but also a notepad with the locations of Celebration Crates containing tons of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold hidden around the world.

Once you have completed all the hidden item collections, you will be awarded a number of titles, the most important of which is Detective, which will help you unlock the ability to open the mystery and find Indecipherable Felcycle mount Incognitro that has been elusive to all WoW players.

To reduce the time you spend searching for Alyx and the 11 missing Celebration Crates, this guide will show you their specific locations and strategies you can use during your exploration so that you can complete this collection quest faster and get the final title.

Steps

First you need to find Lightforged Draenei NPC in Dornogal, Alyx and the clue board it has, which can be found in Foundation Hall and on the stairs leading to Delver’s Headquarters.

Then follow all the clues on this notepad to find all 11 missing Celebration Crates in World of Warcraft. Please note that although you can start Celebration Crate quests after your character reaches level 10, Dornogal requires you to reach level 68 to unlock it. Here are specific locations of 3 special Celebration Crates.

The first thing you should find is Celebration Crate in Ternaries. Just go to the coastline patrolled by Doomwalkers and dive into the deep sea to find it. But remember to use Water Breathing Potion first, so that you can support yourself to the right building in the southeast. Once you find this building, swim to the second floor, and you will find Crate under a bed in a room.

Celebration Crate in Thousand Needles is a bit more difficult to find, as it requires you to travel through different zones. You need to go to Fizzle and Pozzik’s Speedbarge, then fly or swim southwest to Sunken Digsite, and then swim to Silithid hive. In the huge hive, turn right and go straight into a dead end with a pipe.

There is an interactive note next to the pipe, which you need to take to the eastern edge of Azsuna in Broken Isles, where there is a very long path, and a merchant named Vashti. You need to pay 500 WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold to get the treasure chest offered here.

In this Forgotten Crypt behind Karazhan in Deadwind Pass, you need to go through the well and then go down Pauper’s Walk. You will then see that the road splits in two directions, and you should go left and then go down, which will lead you to a large room. On the far right of this room, you will see a partially submerged tomb, which you can search for some useful loot rewards.

But your focus should be on the far left corner of the room, where you will see a crate. When you interact with it, it will give you a quest to talk to Alyx, and after you complete the quest, you will get this Celebration Crate.

The above is the three most worthy of your attention among the 11 Celebration Crates. Turning in six Celebration Crates earns your Crate Insurance Agent title, while turning in 11 Celebration Crates earns you No Crate Left Behind, Azeroth’s Greatest Detective, and Detective title.

The developers took into account that many players only participated in Incognitro secret quests during the anniversary event, but did not obtain Greatest Detective achievement in Azeroth by obtaining Dalaran Survivor in Donorgal to uncover the final mystery, so Alyx was moved to Donorgal and players were allowed to have the right to turn in Celebration Crates indefinitely, which would give all players a certain chance to obtain Felcycle mount.

However, it is worth reminding you that the other Guest Relations quests in the current WoW 20th Anniversary Event are no longer available, because most of the tasks are heavily dependent on the venue of the event, which means that achievements such as Assistant to Assistant Guest Relations Manager and I Saved the Party and All I Got Were These Lousy Hats can no longer be completed, but it does not mean that World of Warcraft will not bring them back in the future by increasing the rewards!

Since World of WarCraft first opened the door to Azeroth to players in 2004, this epoch-making MMORPG has accompanied players around the world for 20 years. As one of the most influential works in the history of games, WoW Classic released its 20th Anniversary Edition on November 21, 2024.

The server of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary is a brand new server, which means that all players have to start over. During the operation of the 20th anniversary, the official will divide the update content into several stages. The first and second stages have been released, and it is expected that around March 20, 2025, the game will usher in the third stage. The content that will be updated in the third stage is Blackwing Lair, Darkmoon Faire.

Blackwing Lair Background

Blackwing Lair is the home of Nefarian, the son of Deathwing and brother of Onyxia. Originally, Dark Iron Dwarves built this area, but Nefarian took over the place, intending to use it as a base to rule all of Azeroth.

How To Enter Blackwing Lair?

Blackwing Lair is a large raid with very generous rewards. In addition to a large amount of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold, there are also gear for each class.

Blackwing Lair is adjacent to Blackrock Depths, Blackrock Spire and Molten Core, and is located inside Blackrock Mountain. Blackrock Mountain has two entrances: Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes.

Searing Gorge

After entering Searing Gorge, follow the initial path into Molten Span. You will see a long chain to the east leading to a broken stone ledge. You need to run up the chain and then follow the ledge around the corner. When you reach the edge of the ledge, you will find a balcony below the edge. Jump onto this balcony. Go through the doorway to Blackrock Spire dungeon portal. If you have completed Blackwing Lair Attunement, run down the corridor and you will see an orb. Touch the orb to enter Blackwing Lair.

Burning Steppes

After entering Burning Steppes, you need to take the path to the left to enter Molten Span. This path leads to a long chain of rock ledges. The path behind and along is the same as when entering from Searing Gorge.

Blackwing Lair Attunement

Blackwing Lair is located on the upper level of Blackrock Spire. Specifically, it is in the hallway after Warchief Rend Blackhand event. But you can also find a shortcut to get in quickly.

If you are facing the entrance to Blackrock Spire, turn right now and look down the hallway. You will see several Scarshield mobs, including a Scarshield Quartermaster. After killing them, Scarshield Quartermaster will drop Blackhand’s Command, which will then start Blackhand’s Command quest.

For this quest, you need to touch Orb of Ascension behind Drakkisath. Drakkisath is the final boss of Blackrock Spire. Once you’re done, you can return to the corridor where you killed Scarshield Quartermaster and quickly enter Blackwing Lair, which is located to the right of the entrance to Blackrock Spire. You’ll see an orb at the end of the corridor and touch this orb to enter Blackwing Lair.

Class Specific Trinkets

In addition to the regular WoW Classic 20th Anniversary gold and equipment, Blackwing Lair bosses will also drop unique trinkets for each class. Here is a list of trinkets for each class in Blackwing Lair:

• Druid: Rune of Metamorphosis (Trinkets), Vaelastrasz the Corrupt (Boss).
• Hunter: Arcane Infused Gem (Trinkets), Razorgore the Untamed (Boss).
• Mage: Mind Quickening Gem (Trinkets), Vaelastrasz the Corrupt (Boss).
• Paladin: Scrolls of Blinding Light (Trinkets), Firemaw (Boss).
• Priest: Aegis of Preservation (Trinkets), Ebonroc (Boss).
• Rogue: Venomous Totem (Trinkets), Broodlord Lashlayer (Boss).
• Shaman: Natural Alignment Crystal (Trinkets), Firemaw (Boss).
• Warlock: The Black Book (Trinkets), Razorgore the Untamed (Boss).
• Warrior: Lifegiving Gem (Trinkets), Broodlord Lash layer (Boss).

Overview Of Bosses

As a team dungeon, Blackwing Lair’s quest route is basically linear. You and your team will encounter a total of 8 bosses in the dungeon:

• Razorgore the Untamed: In the first boss battle, you need to control Razorgore to destroy all the eggs before you can officially start the battle with Razorgore.
• Vaelastrasz the Corrupt: In the second boss battle, the player has three minutes to relieve Vaelastrasz the Corrupt from the pain, otherwise it will be enraged.
• Broodlord Lashlayer: The third boss battle, Broodlord Lashlayer will constantly affect the tanks on the team, reducing their threat.
• Firemaw: The fourth boss battle, it will use Shadow Flame, and players need Onyxia Scale Cloak to avoid this damage.
• Ebonroc: The fifth boss battle, it will also use Shadow Flame, players also need Onyxia Scale Cloak to avoid this damage, but also need to pay attention to its Shadow of Ebonroc skill.
• Flamegor: The sixth boss battle. It is one of the dragons that can use Shadow Flam, and it can also use Fire Nova skill. Hunters must use Tranquilizing Shot to deal with this skill.
• Chromaggus: The seventh boss battle. Chromaggus is Nefarian’s pet, and it has 5 breath methods, but only uses two of them in a battle.
• Nefarian: The last boss battle, he has two forms, human and dragon, he will Shadow Flame, and every 25 to 35 seconds, he will “summon” a class to make the class in your team affected by the debuff.

The above is a brief introduction to Blackwing Lair. As a large-scale team dungeon, its difficulty is absolutely beyond doubt. You’d better be prepared before participating in this dungeon. It is recommended that you farm gold first and then upgrade weapons and equipment, at least so that your character can produce effective output to the boss or be able to withstand the damage of the boss.

As you explore World of Warcraft Classic 20th Anniversary, you’ll be asked to choose between being a Horde or an Alliance member, which will make a difference in the difficulty and storyline of your quests throughout the game. Horde quests tend to be pretty straightforward compared to the intricate and elaborate storylines that Alliance offers you.

For example, go to a specific location and kill some boars for food, or kill the warlocks of Orgrimmar. But even among these very simple Horde quests, some can be very exciting exploration experiences. This guide will introduce you to some of the most worthwhile quests for you to try as a Horde in this WoW 20th Anniversary and some ways to complete them.

1. Lost In Battle

• Start Location: Barrens

One of the most iconic quests in World of Warcraft Classic 20th is the Lost In Battle, also known as Mankrik’s Wife quest. Mankrik is an Orc who tells you that his wife died in a previous battle and asks you to help him find her body. In fact, this NPC is located far away from her wife’s body, and there is no accurate marker in the game to indicate the location of the body, only a Beaten Corpse.

This may take a long time to find the exact location of the body, especially if you don’t have WoW Classic addons like Questie. But it will also give you more exploration experience in this very realistic Barrens, which will facilitate your farming of WoW 20th Anniversary Gold in it after reaching a higher level, because there are many suitable areas for farming.

2. Snapjaws, Mon!

• Start Location: Hinterlands

Although Horde members cannot obtain as many unique and useful items as Alliance members in quests, such as Bag of Marbles or Light of Elune, they have a tremendous advantage in fishing, mainly thanks to the Snapjaws, Mon! Quest.

Although this quest is very difficult to complete for Horde members, as it is located at the southeastern end of Hinterlands and mainly on the south coast, your character does not need to be trained in fishing to accept this quest from Fishing trainer in Revantusk Village, and any player can attempt it.

After you kill 15 Snapjaws nearby, you will receive a very useful item: Nat Pagle’s Extreme Angler FC-5000, which will deal excellent buff to the level bracket, and will gain a huge buff to Fishing Skill when used for its intended purpose of fishing, directly increasing it by 25 points.

If you are a player who loves fishing crazy in World of Warcraft Classic 20th Anniversary, then this quest that can provide you with a fishing rod that is more powerful than any other fishing rod is more worth exploring.

3. Archmage Arugal Questline

• Start Location: Silverpine Forest

Archmage Arugal is one of the most hated characters in WoW Classic 20th because of his inextricable relationship with Worgen Curse that affects Silverpine Forest and its surrounding areas. Although Arugal was once a mage in Dalaran, he was not very powerful and could only rely on enchantments, which led to his companions in Kirin Tor turning against him.

When Scourge attacked Gilneas, Arugal offered humans a way to resist the invading undead army by summoning Worgen. Although it successfully repelled Scourge, it also attacked humans and infected them.

In this quest, you will put an end to this crazy mage’s rule over the area in one of the best dungeons designed in World of Warcraft. This will give you a very refreshing combat experience and you can get a lot of WoW 20th Anniversary Gold from it to enhance your character.

4. The Fallen Hero Of The Horde Quests

• Start Location: Blasted Lands

In this multi-zone questline, you will uncover the story of a Fallen Hero Of The Horde who was killed in action in Blasted Lands. During Swamp of Sorrows quest, you will see this Orc ghost on the side of the road, heading south to Blasted Lands.

You will then be sent to the nearby town of Stonard to talk to the survivors to learn more about the battle. Eventually you will be brought back to Fallen Hero of the Horde, who will tell you his full story: he was initially severely wounded in the battle, was taken prisoner and tortured by Burning Legion, and eventually some of his comrades were forced to become servants of three members of Burning Legion.

This Orc is very sorry for his inaction and hopes that you can help free their eternal souls from this endless torment. The success of this questline is not that it leads to a series of quests in Blasted Lands, but that this epic quest chain will allow you to redeem a fallen hero successfully, and then make you feel like the most successful member of the Horde, and this sense of pride is irreplaceable.

The above are some Horde quests that are worth trying in the current WoW Classic 20th Anniversary. Of course, every player will have their own criteria, but it is worth affirming that some quests require you to have a very powerful build. I wish you a happy game!

If you’ve only played modern World of WarCraft, you may not know the fun of races - in addition to class, race is one of the main factors affecting your character’s combat capabilities in WoW Classic. And if you want to experience this feature, now is the best time, because WoW Classic 20th Anniversary server has launched not long ago.

While the number of races and characteristics of WoW 20th Anniversary may change compared to the original server, the main feature that they can provide is utility and a lot of damage hasn’t changed.

For most WoW 20th Anniversary classes, there should be a race that suits them best, but unless you are a top-level player in the game, the difference between different races is relatively small. So if you have a particular like race in mind, you can definitely try it, unless you want to complete Molten Core raid better.

It is also worth noting that the races available will be different depending on whether you are Alliance or Horde. Therefore, we will introduce you to the major races in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary, using Alliance and Horde as classification standards.

Alliance Races

1. Human

This is the race with the most class combinations for Alliance, with playable classes including Mage, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior. Although the racial characteristics of Human are not as strong as other races, you can improve your reputation through diplomatic advantages after choosing this race.

Specifically, if you become a human, you will gain 10% reputation for each event you participate in. This is a very useful bonus that can save you a lot of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold, because using other channels to improve reputation may take more time and gold.

2. Night Elf

The available classes for this race include Druid, Hunter, Priest, Rogue, and Warrior. It is also the only Alliance race in WoW 20th Anniversary that can play as a Druid. In addition, Night Elf has a very powerful Shadowmeld skill, which allows you to leave the battle and enter stealth mode when the battle situation is unfavorable, preventing the enemy from continuing to damage you.

3. Dwarf

When you become a Dwarf, you can have +10 frost resistance, or 5 additional gun skills and Stoneform by finding nearby treasures on the minimap. Among them, Stoneform can make you immune to bleeding, poisoning and diseases caused by enemies, and add a +10% armor for 8 seconds, which is very useful in PVP mode.

But in fact, the real power of Dwarf is a special ability called Fear Ward, which is only available to Dwarfs playing Priest class. It can protect you from the effects of fear in the next round and provide you with a self-healing buff called Desperate Prayer.

4. Gnome

Gnome has relatively few classes to choose from in the game, which is why it is the race with the lowest number of players in Alliance. However, Gnome performs well in terms of skills, including +10 arcane resistance, 5% intelligence improvement, +15 engineering skills and Escape Artist, and the extra one-minute cooldown allows Gnome to get rid of negative effects such as imprisonment or reduced movement speed.

Horde Races

1. Orcs

If you become an Orc, you can choose one of Hunter, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock and Warrior as your class. In addition, this race has Axe Specialization, which allows you to add skill 5 of one-handed and two-handed axes to yourself, Blood Fury with powerful melee damage, Command, which can increase the damage caused by warlock and hunter pets by 5%, and Hardiness, which can increase the resistance to stun effects by an additional 25%.

2. Tauren

This is the only Horde race that can become a Druid in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary, giving you +15 Herbalism skill, 5% increased health, +10 Nature resistance - useful when playing Ahn’Qiraj raid, and a powerful area stun skill War Stomp.

3. Troll

This race also has a lot of playable classes, and their racial abilities include 5% extra damage to beasts; 5 additional skills for bows and thrown weapons; Regeneration, which increases health regeneration by 10%, and better Berserking cooldown - giving you an extra 10 seconds of casting and attack speed each.

4. Undead

This race can play as Mage, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, or Warrior. The most prominent racial ability is Cannibalize, which allows you to consume corpses over 10 seconds using a channeled spell to restore 35% of your health, which is most useful when you are playing solo.

Other racial abilities include +10 shadow resistance, Underwater Breathing, which increases the duration of the breath bar while swimming by 300%, and Will of the Forsaken, which makes you immune to charm, fear, or sleep for five seconds, or break free of these effects if you are already affected by them.

That’s it for all the playable races in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary. Thanks for reading.
