News Tag: WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold

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.

With the 20th anniversary, World of WarCraft series launched a new anniversary server on November 21: WoW Classic 20th Anniversary, and it is progressing smoothly. As a result, you will find that many new characters can also take this opportunity to level up in the early game.

Although the leveling process of WoW Classic is slow, with the 20th Anniversary version, you can actually level up faster than usual if you choose the right zone. WoW series has many zones covering the entire two continents, but not all of them provide you with the same leveling bonus.

Although the new zones brought by WoW Classic 20th Anniversary may make you want to try to challenge those less common zones, if you also plan to reach the end of the game as soon as possible, those destinations that provide rich trials and allow you to get a lot of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold and XP drops can speed up the process.

Based on this, we will provide you with some valuable references for choosing zones for leveling up.

What Are The Characteristics Of The Zone Suitable For Leveling Up?

In fact, all great leveling zones have their own characteristics. Leveling in WoW Classic used to rely more on defeating monsters to gain XP, which was reflected in the quest design as a variation in killing and gathering quests. Quests are a luxury for zones, and not every zone has the same number of quests that can provide you with monster grinding.

In WoW series, one of the core components of a good leveling zone is many quests, because only in this way can you be guided and rewarded enough XP. And unlike zone balance and the ever-increasing WoW leveling speed, zone selection can make the standard glacial speed feel less overwhelming.

Now to further improve the efficiency of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary zones, top questing zones will have both high quest and monster density. And since you can’t unlock ground mounts until level 40, if you want to pick the best leveling zone, you also need to consider the amount of travel - quests and objectives are best when they can be put together.

In fact, by minimizing downtime, you can easily flow between quests and zones. Don’t forget to make sure you’re also leveling up your professions as you travel between zones, as keeping professions in sync with your character level can minimize backtracking to save you time.

Best Leveling Zones For Horde Players

If you’re a Horde player, then after leaving the three starting zones, it’s recommended that you prioritize The Barrens as your next destination. Not only is it the most classic leveling zone in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary, it’s also full of rich and challenging content and supports level 10-25.

It’s worth mentioning that The Barrens chat is also one of the most active chats in the history of WoW series, because there are so many quests, players, and content here. In addition, another benefit of The Barrens is that it is the first dungeon worth entering as a Horde player, and it’s just a few minutes away from your initial quest center.

In The Barrens, Hillsbrad Foothills is a solid choice to fill the level gap between quests. Nearly every quest is located in the central hub, Tarren Mill:

Shadowfang Keep is located in nearby Silverpine Forest, which can provide you with some nice early-game gear if you’re an intellect user; the West Needles zone in Thousand Needles can fill the level gap in The Barrens, as it’s close to The Barrens.

Best Leveling Zones For Alliance Players

Since Alliance zones were created earlier, you’ll find that you’ll feel more guided when choosing a leveling zone if you’re an Alliance player. After completing the three respective starting zones, Elywnn Forest, Teldrassil, and Dun Murough, you can head to Westfall.

Westfall is essentially a perpetual autumn farmland besieged by bandits, with iconic visuals and storylines. Of course, it also has a surprisingly large density of mobs and quests to keep you leveling up, as well as access to loot-rich Deadmines. Before you head into Deadmines, though, don’t forget to complete the long quest chain starting with The Defias Brotherhood to get a huge chunk of Classic 20th Anniversary Gold.

Westfall has a lot of plot lines that are intertwined with the surrounding zones of Duskwood and Redridge. So not only can you easily move between zones to make up for level gaps, but you can also get attractive rewards after completing the related quests.

In fact, there is a lot of fluidity between the three zones, and if you want to level up quickly as an Alliance player, it’s best to find a way to get into these three closely connected zones as soon as possible.

Obviously, depending on which faction you play, there are different zones suitable for you to level up quickly in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary.
