The Final Surge for the September Trading Post is now active. It’s a good time to make a final push, fill the bar in your Traveler’s Log, and collect the Crusty Crawler’s Mount—before things get ghastly for October’s Trading Post.

This month, new activities are available to help players catch up on their activity bar. These events will begin one week before the end of the month.
Hello Mistweavers!
We have a few updates planned for Guardians of the Dream and we’d like to share some of our thoughts here.
Mistweaver is squishier than we would like, particularly for a primarily melee-based healer, and its defensive toolkit is based mainly around active spell use. We don’t feel it’s appropriate to ask Mistweavers to actively manage nearly every part of their defensive kit to play at the highest level, so we want to explore passivity for Healing Elixir.
We also agree there is room for improvement with the current updated passive design and players can expect updates in upcoming PTR builds that are intended to provide va...

Demon Hunter talent updates will be starting to roll in as they become ready, starting with Havoc tree changes in this week’s PTR build. In some cases, talents may be missing or marked as a work in progress [WIP], but there are enough changes to the Havoc tree and individual talents that we’d like to get it in players’ hands to begin gathering feedback. Vengeance and Class tree changes are coming soon.
Here are this week’s updates to the Guardians of the Dream PTR:
BATTLEGROUND BLITZ BRAWL
CLASSES
On Friday, September 22, starting at 4:00 p.m. PDT, come join members of the World of Warcraft development team on the Iridikron PTR realm as we playtest the new Superbloom public events that are being added in the Guardians of the Dream update.
The Superbloom is the new major public scenario event in the Emerald Dream. You will follow an Ancient of Life, Sprucecrown, as he begins a ritual to bloom life all around Amirdrassil, the budding world tree. He will need your help with various tasks along the way, such as watering flowers and pulling weeds. But danger also awaits, as the Primalists will not stand idly by while we empower the tree with life.
The event begins at the start of the hour, every hour. For the purposes of this PTR playtest, we’re going to be starting at 4:00 p.m., so we encourage you to log on at 3:45 to prepare your character and get setup!
In addition to the Superbloom, there are other public events that will also be active during this playte...

We’ll open ICC again on Tuesday, September 26 at 10:00 a.m. PDT, and conclude that test period at 5:00 p.m. PDT on Friday, September 29.

The current PvP season in Wrath Classic is ending soon. The evening before weekly maintenance, at 10:00 p.m. (October 2 in this region), Season 7 will end. There will be an off-season period until the 3.4.3 patch goes live.
The 3.4.3 patch will then mark the beginning of Season 8 on October 10 in this region.
