With the first Arena season starting this week, we are reducing the cost of Honor gear by 30%.

During the first week of the expansion there were some very profitable ways of earning Honor which have been resolved. With this change, players who are reaching level 80 this week will be able to acquire Deadly, Hateful, and Savage gear a bit more quickly, to prepare for Arena play.

This update is coming via hotfix soon.

Beta and PTR realms are back online, ahead of schedule! As noted, this was not a build deploy or bug fix maintenance, just some backend maintenance. You shouldn’t notice anything different from a few hours ago.

We’ll be deploying a new Beta build later this week with all it’s usual goodies, datamining, and the like.

Have a great day everybody!

Good morning/afternoon!

Apologies for the short notice, we’ve had to take down all Beta and PTR realms (both Mainline & Wrath Classic) for some critical Database maintenance. We hope to have those test environments back online around 3-5 hours from now.

Note that this isn’t a build deploy, the same build will be present when servers come back online.

We’re excited to share the bonuses you’ll discover on Class Sets in Dragonflight. To add to the excitement, these bonuses will be playable in the next beta build!

Dragonflight Class Set Armor Design

We set a few goals for this round of Class Sets. First and foremost, these Class Set bonuses are not as complex as the effects on 9.2 Class Sets. The new talent trees have resulted in a lot of changes to classes in Dragonflight, and we want you all to be able to play those classes without Class Sets that significantly change your rotations or resource economies. This is not to say that we won’t make more complex or rotationally impactful Class Sets in the future. But you’ll find that these bonuses generally ...
