July in Azeroth starts off with bursts of flying color throughout the capital cities as the Midsummer Fire Festival comes to a close. While the holiday may be ending, the work within the Tomb of Sargeras continues this month as raiders continue to plumb its danger-filled depths. But, don’t worry. It won’t all be serious business when the main auction houses in Orgrimmar and Stormwind set up Azeroth’s biggest dance parties. 

In-Game Events

Darkmoon Faire

Darkmoon Faire [July 2–8]

Meet Silas Darkmoon and his troupe, play games that test mind and nerve, and behold exotic sights from the four corners of Azeroth and beyond! A new band has been added to the playbill. Make sure you check them out!

This Month: Fashion Is Key in the Tomb of Sargeras

With more raiders heading deeper into the Tomb of Sargeras this month, we thought we’d cast our eye on the new high-quality armor sets you can earn. From Raid Finder to Mythic, you can look your very best while slaying the forces of the Burning Legion with these prêt-à-porter sets. We’ve gone into the dressing room and pulled out one iconic set from each armor class to show you the possibilities.

Tomb of Sargeras Raid Set
Tomb of Sargeras [Tier 20]: Paladin- Radiant Lightbringer Armor, Shaman- Regalia of the Skybreaker, Priest- Vestments of Blind Absolution, Druid- Stormheart Raiment

If you’re not quite ready to head into the Tomb, but still want this incredibly stylish look—while staying within budget—then you’re in luck! This month provides a great opportunity to collect the original set that inspired it all from the dark halls of the Black Temple*. Collect any set and you’ll earn the Black is the New Black Achievement. A little less bling than what you'll find in the Tomb, but you'll still look great everywhere you go. 

Black Temple-Tier 6
Black Temple [Tier 6]: Paladin- Lightbringer Battlegear, Shaman- Skyshatter Regalia, Priest- Absolution Regalia, Druid- Thunderheart Raiment

*Not all items of the 5-piece set found within the Black Temple (3 of 5). A trip to Hyjal Summit highly recommended (2 of 5) to complete your look. Ask for Tydormu for more shopping options. Dry clean only. Light iron. No Starch. All sales (mostly) final.

      War Within Alpha should be just around the corner! When do we expect the latest expansion testing to start?
      If you've been keeping an eye on the World of Warcraft 2024 roadmap, you're likely excited about what's coming up! According to the roadmap, the War Within Alpha is expected to kick off sometime after Patch 10.2.6, which was released two weeks ago, and before the beginning of Season 4.

      Typically, a season lasts 22 weeks. Right now, we're in the 20th week of Season 3, with just about two weeks left. Let's break down the hypothetical timeline:
      Season 3 Week 20: Week of March 26 Season 3 Week 21: Week of April 2 Season 3 Week 22: Week of April 9 Season 4 Week 1: Week of April 15 This schedule suggests that the War Within Alpha could potentially launch as early as next week or during the week of April 9.
      The most recent news from the War Within camp came on March 27, when Blizzard rolled out a fresh encrypted internal build on the WoW Dev CDN. The internal builds are becoming more and more frequent which indicates Blizzard's ramping up to start testing in the very near future.
      Placeholder for tweet 1772901807448052151 In the meantime, we encourage you to check out everything coming in the War Within pre-patch that will release 1 month before the actual expansion.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
