The Midsummer Fire Festival is set to go out with a POP, WHIZBANG during the Fireworks Spectacular on July 4!

Make your way to any capital city (or venture out to Booty Bay) to take in the festively fiery finale with an hourly firework extravaganza.

We hope to see you there!

Prime your minds for an especially tangled chrono-spatial conundrum: Warlords of Draenor Timewalking is here!

Players will be able to adventure into six of Warlords of Draenor’s dungeons to reap new rewards all week during this week’s Bonus Event. Your character and items will be scaled down to a power level fitting for the challenge at hand, but bosses will yield loot appropriate for your regular level. Timewalking dungeons also have a chance to drop items that usually drop when you run them on Heroic, and you’ll earn reputation with a faction that is interested in the dungeon.


This Week

Look for the following all week long:

  • Kazra in Valdrakken has a quest for you. You can also start the quest from within the Adventure Guide (Shift-J).
    • Quest Requirement: Complete 5 Timewalking dungeons.
    • Rewards: Cache of Vault Treasures containing one piece of non-tier gear from Normal Vau...

The Ruby Lifeshrine has more eggs than it can manage and needs a little help hatching and teaching five of their dragon whelps, so they’ve called in the crew at the Little Scales Daycare to assist. The crew has become overwhelmed and needs you to help wrangle some whelps.

Rally your party and venture into a new eight-boss Mythic difficulty mega-dungeon: Dawn of the Infinite! At stake is the future of Azeroth, and only you can ensure the timeline remains preserved—hopefully with a minimal number of paradoxes. This Mythic-only instance can reward you with loot coveted by time benders everywhere, including a perennial assortment of powerful gear, Dragonriding customizations, and many other surprises.


Turning Back Time to Make it Right

An optional questline related to the Dawn of the Infinite mega-dungeon will be available when Fractures in Time launches. It all starts atop the Seat of the Aspects in Valdrakken where you can pick up the quest “Dawn of the Infinite” from Nozdormu. He senses a terrible threat approaching, and alongside Chromie, you must discover this new enemy's true nature before it's too late.

It’s official, Hardcore realms are coming to World of Warcraft. Players will have the opportunity to show if they have the edge, the grit, the very will— to engage with Azeroth, its denizens, and their fellow players… to survive.

But there are rules of engagement, as there always are. Here are the rules for WoW Classic Hardcore realms and a little bit of the behind-the-scenes thoughts on the choices that have been made.


Hardcore Ruleset Overview

Death on Hardcore realms is permanent on that realm.

This means that if you die, you won’t be able to run back to your corpse and resurrect, nor can you be resurrected by any other spell or ability. This means that even if you have abilities as a part of your class, such as the Shaman Reincarnation, or Warlock Soulstone, they won’t be of any use to you.

You will continue to exist in the game world as a ghost to facilitate...

In the Fractures in Time content update, the Warlock Class expands to new races. You’ll also be able to undertake a new Warlock-specific questline and use the Barbershop to customize your pets.

Night Elves, Draenei, Lightforged Draenei, Pandaren, Kul Tiran, Tauren, Highmountain Tauren, Mag’har Orcs, and Zandalari Trolls can embrace the ways of the Warlock class—if they have the keen intellect for it and a strong stomach. Demons aren’t always easy to wrangle.


New Quest: New Imp

Warlocks can undertake a new quest line at level 30 that starts with the quest "Beginning Impositions.” To get started, meet up with Assistant Phineas in the Mage Quarter in Stormwind ...

Breach Neltharion’s secret laboratory hidden within Zaralek Cavern. It is here that he created the dracthyr and ultimately succumbed to the whispers of the Old Gods and their corruption. Players will face nine new raid bosses in an effort to thwart the incarnates as well as Scalecommander Sarkareth, whose forces seek to claim the legacy of the dracthyr.


Millennia ago, Neltharion established Aberrus, a secret laboratory where he conducted world-altering experiments. Recently rediscovered, Aberrus is now under attack from all sides as forces seeking to claim the Earth-Warder’s legacy search for any power that remains. The champions of Azeroth must venture into the shadows and ensure Neltharion’s dark power doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.
