The Month Ahead in World of Warcraft

Recommended Posts

14513-the-month-ahead-in-world-of-warcra

December is a busy month for most people and Blizzard has made sure that there is plenty going on in game too.

 

We've put together a quick run-down of the month for you and the major events to pay attention to on the live servers.

 

This weekend sees the first Bonus Event in action, where Arena Skirmishes award a huge amount of bonus honor when completed. If you need something to do in game and you haven't tried PvP, we would definitely recommend you choose to farm some gear now! The event will continue until the 7th December.

Bonus Events in December

 

9th - 14th December: Time to return to the glorious days of the Burning Crusade with Outland Timewalking. 

 

16th - 21st December: All that farming during the Arena Skirmish event is finally going to pay off. Get yourself into Battlegrounds and take part in the Battleground Bonus Event!

 

23rd - 28th December: Tired of farming rares for those pesky reputation items? Fear not, the Draenor Dungeon Event is here! Gather your friends and speed through the dungeons of Draenor until your reputation bars are nothing but Exalted. 

 

30th December - 4th January: Have you been neglecting your pets? Are they gathering dust at level 1, never to be used? Grab your pet bandages and your favourite companions and dive into the world of the Pet Battle Bonus Event.

Darkmoon Faire

 

Make sure not to get too involved with farming Arena Skirmishes this weekend, since the Darkmoon Faire is back in town! It will run from 6th - 13th December. Make sure to get down to the Faire and show off your skills at the various games, hosted by your favourite NPCs. If you want to display your new-found arena skills, then make sure to jump into the Darkmoon Arena for a chance to win the prize in the middle. Be warned, it won't be easy!

 

In 6.2.2, only one new toy has been revealed: the inv_misc_seesaw.jpgDarkmoon Seesaw, which can be purchased for 50 tickets from Gelvas Grimegate.

 

If you'd like some tips on how to get the most out of the Darkmoon Faire, make sure to visit our guide here.

Winter's Veil

 

Are those sleigh bells we hear? Nog and cookies that we smell? Of course! Great-father Winter is back to visit us for Winter's Veil! Make sure to journey to Ironforge and Orgrimmar to collect your Winter's Veil treats, but it's not all fun and games. NPCs will be ready to hand out tasks for you to complete, with cooking recipes and toys to be earnt. If you're really feeling the festive spirit, you may find yourself lucky enough to earn the brand new festive mount inv_misc_pet_pandaren_yeti_grey.jpgMinion of Grumpus.

 

Other notable new additions to the Winter's Veil festivities include:

  • Grumpling, a new pet.
  • A variety of new toys, including the ability_malkorok_blightofyshaarj_yellow.Yellow Snowball, with the very important description: "Not for consumption".
  • New questlines, which reward the new currency achievement_worldevent_merrymaker.jpgMerry Supplies, used to purchase Garrison decorations.
  • A particularly useful new gathering tool, which is unusually a consumable, the inv_drink_23.jpgFizzy Apple Cider.

If you're feeling the chill during this festive period and need some pointers to help you out, just visit our guide here.

      Gleeful Glamour is an Enchanting item in the War Within that lets you temporarily change the race of your character.

      The Siege of Orgrimmar raid and Mists of Pandaria World Bosses are on a daily lockout in Patch 10.2.7.
      We're not sure if the change is intended or a MoP Remix feature, but somehow, daily lockouts for SoO and MoP World Bosses have slipped through to live servers even before the event's starts on May 16. Maybe this is a way to give retail players more chances on Tusks of Mannoroth since you can buy them directly from a vendor during MoP Remix.
      If you're farming Garrosh, don't forget there is a skip at the beginning of the raid. As you enter, interact with the scroll on the wall.

      Blizzard has added Glyph of Jab for Monks in the War Within, making Tiger Palm strike your target with your equipped weapon!
      We've got some great news for all Monk players out there. In the War Within expansion, Blizzard has added Glyph of Jab that makes Tiger Palm strike your target with your equipped weapon, instead of your fists.

      In the past, Glyph of Jab was a minor glyph used by monks, designed to ensure that the Jab ability was executed with hands and fist animations even when non-fist weapons were equipped. You will find more details here.

      We've looked at the number of chapters of the War Within level-up campaign and compared it to Dragonflight.
      War Within Level Up Campaign
      The level-up campaign in each zone consists of 3 chapters, so you will end up with a total of 12 level-up chapters in the new expansion. You will spend roughly an hour completing the main storyline in each zone.

      Isle of Dorn (Zone 1 Level Up Questing)
      Chapter 1: Breaking Point Chapter 2: Earthen Fissures Chapter 3: The First Blow The Ringing Deeps (Zone 2 Level Up Questing)
      Chapter 1: By Candlelight Chapter 2: Dark Revelations Chapter 3: The Monster and the Machine The Hallowfall Arathi (Zone 3 Level Up Questing)
      Chapter 1: The Guiding Start Chapter 2: Gathering Shadows Chapter 3: Hope in Solidarity  Azj-Kahet (Zone 5 Level Up Questing)
      Chapter 1: Friends in the Dark Chapter 2: Unraveling the Trapped Chapter 3: Plans within Plans Dragonflight Campaign Chapters
      When we compare War Within level up chapter numbers with Dragonflight zones, the expansion shipped with a total of 15 level-up chapters spread across 4 zones:
      Waking Shores had 5 campaign chapters. Ohn'ahran Plains shipped with 4 campaign chapters. Azure Span had 4 campaign chapters. Thaldraszus shipped with 3 campaign chapters. Max-Level Campaign
      The War Within (Max Level Questing) consists of 4 chapters. The fourth campaign name is unknown at this time and Blizzard will most likely hotfix it.
      Chapter 1: Against the Current Chapter 2: Ties That Bind Chapter 3: The Machines March to War Chapter 4: Unknown name
