The Old God N’Zoth has been unleashed from his titanwrought prison, and an ancient corruption has taken root across Azeroth, turning friends into foes and trapping warriors’ minds in nightmare visions of a hopeless future. As despair and madness consume the land, the heroes of the Horde and the Alliance will need to fight for their sanity—and the fate of their wounded world in this content update.

The Visions of N'Zoth content update is packed with new features, including two new Allied Races—the fox-like vuplera (Horde) and the crafty mechagnomes (Alliance); the introduction of Assaults and N'Zoth's Horrific Visions; new Corruption-tainted weapons and gear, a new legendary cloak to craft and upgrade—Ashjra'kamas, Shroud of Resolve; raid that takes you into the heart of the Black Empire— Ny'alotha, the Waking City; and much more.

The Old God N’Zoth has been unleashed from his titanwrought prison, and an ancient corruption has taken root across Azeroth. Heroes of the Horde and Alliance will need to fight back the darkness by donning a new legendary cloak and by wielding corruption-forged weapons against the armies of the Black Empire.

Heroes Wear Capes

Protecting your mind against N’Zoth requires an object of pure corruption—and Deathwing’s son Wrathion knows just where to find one. Work with the masterful Black Dragonflight to craft and upgrade Ashjra’kamas, Shroud of Resolve, a legendary cloak with the power to save your sanity and stave off the Old God’s influence.

Wearing this cloak will help players venture deeper into N’Zoth’s Horrific Visions, earn greater rewards, and unlock more of the mysteries behind the Old God’s power. This cloak may also come in handy when you face off against N’Zoth himself in the upcoming raid.

We’ve rebuilt Azeroth’s Auction House system to provide a smoother, faster, easier experience for those looking to buy and sell the latest and greatest supplies and gear. After further analysis of the way the Auction House is used, we’ve updated the functionality to fit with the way you use it every day.

Just for Buyers

Commodities (stackable items) will no longer be sold in individual stacks allowing you to select the number of items you want to buy, and the Auction House will automatically locate the lowest priced auctions to sell to you. You’ll be able to see the unit price and total price before you make your purchase. With the lowest-priced items always sorted to the top, you’ll never have to dig for the best deal again.

You’ll also be able to curate a favorites list by right-clicking on a li...
