WOW Classic SOD: Full Explanation Of World Buffs And Consumables

In this guide, we’ll take a look at a Season of Discovery’s world buffs, consumables and some new profession recipes.

As a disclaimer, everything listed is subject to change. I will update the written guide as we learn more about new buffs, spells, and other content that may change over time.

Ashenvale PVP Buffs

Here’s what we know so far in Phase 1, which will see players capped at level 25. Through Season of Discovery, players will get new world buffs in Ashenvale.

In new open-world PVP battles, players will gain buffs for being close to faction leaders. And it’s similar to Alterac Valley, with smaller camps and outposts set up around the area that attlefield lieutenants will guard. We know these lieutenants as Keepers of the Grove for Alliance: Centrius, Ceredwyn, Larodar. There are also Blademasters for Horde: Jubei, Moogul the Sly, Tojara.

When players are within 40 yards of these lieutenants, they will gain Battlefield Inspiration, increasing their health by 50% and their damage buff by 20%. This gives the defending player a bit of motivation when trying to save their leader from being killed.

When you are within 40 yards of the faction leader, players will gain an even more powerful buff: Battlefield Genius. Allies within 40 yards of Priestess of the Moon or Far Seer have 100% increased health and 50% increased damage.

It increased these values for each living Keepers of the Grove for Alliance or Blademasters for Horde in Priestess’s or Far Seer’s army. Each one increases health by 100% and damage by 50%.

By winning the event, you will receive some WOW Classic SOD Gold and items containing world buffs. These items can be saved and used later, for example, in raids. Here are the buffs it provides: Ashenvale Rallying Cry - Increases all damage and healing by 5% for 2 hours.

Blackfathom Deeps Buffs

Now, let’s talk about Blackfathom Deeps. BFD is a new hotspot raid for level 25 players. With new bosses and loot, players will also discover unique buffs tied to raids.

While unconfirmed, this buff looks similar to Head of Rend, or Onyxia, Nefarian, Heart of Hakkar. When these heads are turned in, all players in the area receive a special buff that lasts for one to two hours.

Blackfathom Deeps can increase spell, melee and ranged critical strike chance by 2%, gain 20 attack power, and increase movement speed by 20% for 120 minutes.

Players may also be familiar with Blessing of Blackfathom: Intelligence increases by 5 points, Spirit increases by 5 points, and Frost damage increases by 15 points. Duration 1 hour. This buff can be obtained by clicking on the orb on top of the altar within the team.

Anointed Shrines

Here are some other buffs related to Shrines. Currently, it’s unclear whether these are open world buffs or full-blown world buffs. But through the names of these Anointed Shrines buffs, we may be able to make some new discoveries.

For example, the first one is called Secrets of Elune, which allows you to meditate on Mysteries of Elune in Moonwell. Then there’s another buff related to Anointed Shrines, which says it enshrined Elune in nearby Shrines and can increase your Intelligence by 5%.

So, if you scroll down this list, you’ll see that these little buffs increase certain stats by 5%.

Again, we’re not entirely sure what these are yet, but it’s data-mined stuff.

Known World Buffs

Now let’s move on to the known world buffs you can still get at level 25.

World buffs are an integral part of WOW Classic. Whether you use them to gain a raid advantage or to get a significant power boost when upgrading your alt. For world buffs, gathering in major cities on densely populated servers is an unforgettable experience.

But strictly speaking, at level 25, no one will kill Onyxia, Nefarian, Rend, Hakkar for world buffs.

Darkmoon Faire

However, low-level players can still get Darkmoon Faire buff for 2 hours. Darkmoon Faire takes place in the first week of every month, alternating between Elwynn Forest and Mulgore.

In Faire, Sayge is a fortune teller. Based on the player’s answers to a series of questions, Sayge will grant a buff that lasts for 2 hours, increasing specific attributes by 10%. I’ve included all Sayge buffs here.

New Consumables & Recipes

Finally, let’s talk about some consumables.

In Season of Discovery, the developers have added new profession recipes, including new Mana Oil and Sharpening Stone for Blackfathom Deeps.

Let’s take a look at all the new known profession recipes:

• Alchemy has a new Elixir of Coalesced Regret, whose purpose is currently unknown.
• Blacksmithing has a new Blackfathom Sharpening Stone and the epic Shifting Silver Breastplate.
• Enchanting has a new Blackfathom Mana Oil.
• Engineering has a Shredder Autosalvage Unit.
• Leatherworking has two new pairs of epic gloves.
• Tailoring has a new epic Boots Pattern.

That’s all I have for you in this guide. Have a nice day!
