Sometimes the server blades run a little slow in getting updates live before the forum threads show up. Sorry about that.

Make a mighty morphing moment for yourself or your party members when you deploy the Murkmorpher toy.* Deploying the toy will temporarily change your appearance into an ever-popular Westfall Story Murloc or other random, colorful variant of the amphibious biped variety.

Players can morph themselves and other party members into playful murlocs once every 60 minutes. The transformation lasts 20 minutes and stays active in combat, even after death.

It’s not being adjusted, but as you can see in the Trading Post this month (and tracking previous months), we’ve been adjusting pricing as we go, so it may still work out for you in the end.

Beginning February 2, the arena gates will open for the 2024 Dragonflight Season 3 Arena World Championship (AWC)! Tune in to the first two Cups on Twitch and YouTube to see how far the gladiators will go.

There’s a great deal at stake in Season 3, with only two opportuniti...

Hey all,

We’ve made a few of adjustments to the original article. We’ve corrected the item type for the Dueler’s Rosy Shoulder Cape so it notes it’s for “Shoulders” and not “Back/Cape.”

We’ve added the armor type for the Battlewraps of the Honored Valarjar to note that it is a Leather set.

We’ve corrected the price in the article for Buggsy to 250 down from 350.

We’d like to dispel this particular rumor. At this time, we do not plan to offer mounts or other skill-based prestige rewards from achievements such as Cutting Edge or Ahead of the Curve or Gladiator in the Trading Post.

We’re very excited about what’s coming to the Trading Post in February and beyond, as each month, we intend to offer fun new rewards and themed cosmetics. We’ll post a complete preview of everything coming in February soon.

Thank you for all of your feedback on this.

Starting with Phase 2 of Season of Discovery, we are going to experiment with a policy change: We will no longer support or allow GDKP or “gold bid” raids and dungeons in Season of Discovery. We’ve seen many questions about this policy change, so please read on for our answers and more information.

What is GDKP and why is it being restricted in Season of Discovery?

GDKP is a loot system some players use that essentially allows all loot to be purchased in a dungeon or raid using gold rather than being rolled for or awarded using another loot system. How this typically works is that an item drops and is then put up for gold bid among the members of the group. Players will submit their bids in gold, and the highest bidder wins. After the item is won, gold is traded to the loot master, and then that gold is usually divided among all the raid members.

It’s fair to say that GDKP has some benefits to individuals who don’t want to be tied to a guild or ...

We just added their examples since they were initially missing from the post. The emperor does not have new clothes. They really do exist. :wink:

Sit down with World of Warcraft Classic team designers to explore more of what Season of Discovery Phase 2 has in store for you. We will take you through new raid information, dungeon, Rune ability, PvP, and profession updates, and more.

With this preview we want to take a moment to get ahead of the PTR since, like the previous Classic PTR, the content for Season of Discovery Phase 2 will not actually be available to play. We also want to help assuage any incorrect assumptions from any datamining that may occur as the PTR also holds some data that could be misleading, is experimental, is meant for later phases, or even are items that did not make the cut.

Please note that all examples are works in progress and may not reflect the final stats.
