Season of Discovery Phase 5 is Now Live!
Season of Discovery Phase 5 allows players to venture into the Blackwing Lair and Zul’Gurub raid dungeons, collect new Tier 2 armor sets, and more— all waiting for you to discover.
Blackwing Lair
Step into Blackwing Lair as a reimagined 20-40 player raid dungeon with a host of new mechanics, including a swappable difficulty system allowing you to engage in greater challenges by activating new raid-wide effects based on each of the five dragonflight’s unique abilities.
Leave no raider behind. Tuned as a 20-player encounter, players can bring additional friends to the adventure with up to 40 players!
As you make your way through the depths of the lair, keep a sharp eye out for some additional drops and their rewarding discoveries.
New Tier 2 Sets and Reworked Itemization Inside
Similar to Tier 1 sets from the Molten Core raid, Tier 2 armor sets are expanding to include multiple variations for different talent specializations and playstyles.
The alternate versions of these new Tier 2 sets have new appearances and increased stats from the previous version of the Tier 2 sets and utilize Tier 1 set bonuses. This allows players more options to choose from when selecting the gear they would like to use while fine-tuning their playstyle.
Players can also exchange Firelands Embers from the Blackrock Eruption event by visiting with Lokthos Darkbargainer in Blackrock Depths for elemental essences.
New Rewards on the Tarnished Undermine Real Vendor
Pix Xizzix now has additional new items, such as Tier 2 bracer tokens for all classes available to purchase, along with relics for druids, paladins, and shaman.
Zul’Gurub
Zul’Gurub invites 10-20 players into this raid dungeon. Rewards and difficulty are tuned for 10, with room for 20 to join in the hunt for treasures untold.
Players will be able to earn updated and redesigned rewards. Hakkar also offers new encounter mechanics and rewards for defeating him while all Zandalari Priests stay alive. Defeating Zandalari Priests now also grants access to buffs from powerful loa spirits like Hethiss and Shirvallah. Players will need to figure out the best route through Zul’Gurub to maximize the effectiveness of these powerful spells.
Players may also manually choose which boss they want to face in the Edge of Madness Encounter. To fight a specific boss, click on their specific tablet and activate the brazier with Gurubashi Mojo Madness while the aura is active.
More awaits you in Season of Discovery Phase 5, including additional PvP Honor, updates, new Raid and Dungeon encounters, and more! Grab all the details from our previously published article.
