Thank you for your reports.

We’ve been examining this issue for the last two weeks, and we will continue to look into it whenever we receive new detailed information on it.

We’ve not yet found anything to fix, but we may, and we appreciate details from you.

As always, the more you can tell us (character name and level and realm, time and date you were playing, names and levels of the other members of your party), the closer we can get to understanding it.

We recently hotfixed this. All Masked Orphan Matrons on all realms should now be starting the event as expected.

Dragonflight is an expansion that has introduced many changes to World of Warcraft, and one of the largest of those changes is the introduction of the new universal upgrade system in Embers of Neltharion. We’re seeing it have a healthy effect on the game, but there’s still room for improvement. In Guardians of the Dream, we’re keeping the system in place but will be making a suite of changes—many based-on player feedback—to make this system both more sustainable and more player friendly.


Increase the Length of the Hero and Myth Tracks

Fractures in Time retroactively added the Myth upgrade track to gear earned above the Hero track, allowing players to upgrade their gear from Myth 1 (item level 441) up to Myth 3 (item level 447). This did a lot of good things for high-end players, but we’re making a change to address a concern that many had regarding the disparity between the upgrade tracks.

Love to see threads like this, and I was going to start one myself if you hadn’t, so I’ve updated your thread title and want to ask everyone to please continue the discussion with anything you’d like to say about recent updates to in-game holiday events. We’re all ears.

Thank you!

In Guardians of the Dream, there will be more opportunities to dash, dive, and dip through the skies in the saddle of your favorite dragon with new and challenging content. There are Dragonriding races for you and your scaled sky pal to master, world quests that take you on adventures filled with exploration, and more glyphs and customizations to collect. Also, you'll want to master your moves because Dragonriding is a critical ingredient in the new Raid, Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope.


More Glyphs, More Traits, and Look Great!

From day one ...

The tradeable Scarlet Key should drop in both the Loot-filled Pumpkin and Arcanist Doan’s chest in the legacy Scarlet Monastery.

In the latter case, it will continue to drop after Hallow’s End ends.

The Guardians of the Dream update ushers in a new cycle of Public Events. Superbloom is the primary Public Event scenario in the Emerald Dream, alongside the Emerald Bounty, which has a series of micro-events triggered across the zone. Exercise your green thumb and help things grow, beat up baddies, and receive Emerald Dewdrops, event currency, to get rewards!


Help Put the “Super” in Superbloom

The Superbloom begins at the start of the hour, every hour. Once the event begins, Sprucecrown, an Ancient of Life, travels around Amirdrassil, the World Tree, starting a ritual to bloom life. Help him with various tasks, such as watering flowers, pulling weeds, and defending against Primalists who refuse to stand by while we empower the tree with life.

Pagle is being taken offline in a few minutes. During a brief maintenance, we’re going to apply a configuration to address the service issues.

The realm should be back online shortly.

Yes, and the first drop of the day receives a bonus likelihood that scales with the number of curses you apply.

It’s time for Tricky Treats, costumes, and—of course—the return of the Headless Horseman during this year’s Hallow’s End!

Hallow’s End celebrates the break of the Forsaken from the Scourge.

Fun and mischief reign as the Innkeepers of Azeroth give treats, and tricks, to whomever asks.

The spookiest time of year has arrived once more, and the Headless Horseman rides forth to strike terror into the hearts and minds of Azeroth’s citizens.


When: October 18–November 1
Where: Trick-or-Treat throughout the inns of Azeroth, Northrend, Pandaria, Outland, Draenor, the Broken Isles (Dalaran), and the Dragon Isles for tasty treats and currency to buy Hallow’s End delights.


New This Year
