A Preview of the Carcinized Zerethsteed Mount in Patch 9.2

Today, we're previewing another interesting mount coming in Eternity's End. It has just one tint, so we're speculating this might be the Glory of the Sepulcher Raider or Ahead of the Curve mount. 6 comments Nov 26, 2021 at 14:09 by Stan

Jaina Vs. Anduin in the Sylvanas Fight: An Epic Battle

Anduin Wrynn is coming as a proper raid boss in the Sepulcher of the First Ones in patch 9.2, but that's not his first appearance as an adversary in a raid. And based on his first outing as our enemy in the Sanctum of Domination, I feel he's perhaps not cut out to be a raid boss just yet, as illustrated by Yuriy Grynevych: 3 comments Nov 25, 2021 at 19:42 by Starym

Sepulcher of the First Ones Raid Weapon Visual Preview (Video)

Update: we now also got a special delivery from LeystTV, as our mention of the Jailer's mace got us a look! The mace actually has two entries/models, which have the same looks, and one is marked as "not transmoggable", while the other is not, so we may be getting to wield it ourselves (but it's still very unclear)! 3 comments Nov 25, 2021 at 18:42 by Starym

Doubleagent Immortalized in Hearthstone!

The legendary Pandaren that simply refused to pick a faction is now getting his own card in Hearthstone! Doubleagent, the player that has leveled to the maximum level of each expansion since Mists of Pandaria without leaving the Wandering Isle using only gathering professions (and some pet battles), including in Shadowlands, is now not only an NPC in World of Warcraft, but also a Rogue common card in the new Fractured in Alterac Valley set (which is a little weird since he's actually a Shaman): 13 comments Nov 25, 2021 at 07:33 by Starym
