In this article, we're taking a look at content worth finishing before Battle for Azeroth goes live.

Ahead of the Curve: Argus the Unmaker & Cutting Edge: Argus the UnmakerCutting Edge: Argus the Unmaker

Both achievements will be removed once the pre-patch goes live. If you don't have the achievement yet, the first round of Mythic Argus nerfs has already been deployed to live servers, so defeating Argus on Mythic difficulty should be easier now.

The achievement will become unobtainable in Battle for Azeroth.

A Challenging LookA Challenging Look (Mage Tower Artifact Apppearance)

Blizzard confirmed that the Mage Tower will be permanently up at some point before Battle for Azeroth goes live, but they did not clarify if they meant the pre-patch or the actual expansion. Given how Azerite traits no longer work on 8.0 PTR, it's safe to assume we're going to see an announcement regarding the permanent Mage Tower in the coming days.

Field MedicField Medic Achievement

First Aid will be removed in Battle for Azeroth and all achievements related to the Profession will become Feats of Strength.

Brawler's Guild Removal

Brawler's Guild will be on hiatus with the release of BfA, but it's very likely that we'll see it return later on in Patch 8.1 or 8.1.5. Don't forget to get the Brawler's Burly BasiliskBrawler's Burly Basilisk mount!

Strand of Ancients Removal

The battleground will be removed in Battle for Azeroth. Achievements will turn into Feats of Strength (Master of Strand of the AncientsMaster of Strand of the Ancients).

Violet SpellwingViolet Spellwing will not be available soon. Finish the "Blood of a Titan" quest by looting Blood of the UnmakerBlood of the Unmaker from Argus on Heroic difficulty or higher.

Legion Mythic Difficulty Mounts

As is tradition, the drop rate of Mythic difficulty raid mounts will be reduced to 1% when Battle for Azeroth goes live. Legion only introduced two Mythic mounts to the game:

      Number of Raid Bosses Per Expansion
      By Stan
      We're looking at how many raid bosses each World of Warcraft expansion has introduced.
      This chart, created by Reddit user throwaway4201251315, lays out the count of raid bosses across all WoW expansions, including Dragonflight.

      The chart's fine details are hard to make out, but it's clear that the original Vanilla version launched with the highest number of raid bosses (about 55-60), whereas Dragonflight had the fewest (around 25-30), a figure similar to what we saw in Cataclysm. Notably, Blizzard's decision to skip .3 patches and the introduction of Fated Raids have contributed to a declining trend in the number of raid bosses in both Shadowlands and Dragonflight.
      It seems that players generally prefer raids with 8-9 bosses, finding larger raids like Ny'alotha and Sepulcher to be exhausting.

      The 10 Rarest Still Obtainable Mounts (Video)
      By Starym
      Collecting mounts really has become as much of a part of WoW as raiding, dungeons, questing and PvP at this point, as players constantly want more and more. Today we're taking a look at another hirumaredx video, this time focusing on the 10 rarest mounts players can still obtain today!
      While I'm sure this list will be disputed, it's still fun to see what could be considered some of the most rare rides on Azeroth, especially if you happen to own one already! The list is based off of both drop chances and actual difficulty to obtain, as the first one is basically a 100% "drop", but will take a long time to get.

      Fyrakk Laughs at You When Getting Still Standing in the Fire Achievement in Amirdrassil
      By Starym
      The axe-wielding, tree-burning dragon has a sense of humor, as he will laugh at anyone that dies to his fire during the raid encounter (and you get an achievement if you didn't get it before!
      The Still Standing in the Fire achievement came along with patch 10.1 and Fyrakk Assaults. It was a little tricky to get as you had to find where to stand and die to the fire, which didn't really 1-shot you. Luckily with 10.2, it got a whole lot easier (well, for raiders anyway). The achievement is named after the original, where Deathwing had to kill you either during the Dragon Soul raid or when he was breathing all over Azeroth.
      As spotted by ah_kooky_kat, dying to Fyrakk in the raid also triggers the achievement, and he still laughs at you!

      The very old-school WeakAura in the screenshot also got a lot of attention the the thread below.
