Things to Do Before Shadowlands Goes Live

Recommended Posts

6GfmhZD.jpg

With a few months of BfA still left, we compiled a list of things to do in the game before they get removed or changed when Shadowlands hits. Read on for details.

1. Ahead of the Curve: N'Zoth the CorruptorAhead of the Curve: N'Zoth the Corruptor

Assemble a group and defeat N'Zoth on Heroic difficulty. Uncorrupted VoidwingUncorrupted Voidwing will become unobtainable when Shadowlands goes live.

2. Mythic Season 4 Title & Mount

If you want to get the Awakened MindborerAwakened Mindborer, you must earn the Battle for Azeroth Keystone Master: Season FourBattle for Azeroth Keystone Master: Season Four before the release of Shadowlands. To do this, simply, complete all Battle for Azeroth Season 4 dungeons at Mythic Level 15 or higher, within the time limit.

If you can't get the mount, you can at least try getting the Awakened title that is earned by completing all Battle for Azeroth Season 4 dungeons at Mythic Level 10 or higher, within the time limit (Battle for Azeroth Keystone Conqueror: Season FourBattle for Azeroth Keystone Conqueror: Season Four).

3. Phenomenal Cosmic PowerPhenomenal Cosmic Power Achievement

Certain Essences tied to Mythic Season 4 will become unattainable when the Season ends, making it impossible to earn the Phenomenal Cosmic PowerPhenomenal Cosmic Power and the Azeroth's Champion title.

4. Save Up 5 Million Gold for the Reins of the Mighty Caravan BrutosaurMighty Caravan Brutosaur

Blizzard will be removing the Reins of the Mighty Caravan BrutosaurMighty Caravan Brutosaur in Shadowlands from the vendor, so now would be the ideal time to start making some serious gold when you want the mount. Chances are you will not be able to get it from the Black Market Auction House when it becomes even rarer to get.

Hello! Yes. About that …

Like all dinosaurs, the Reins of the Mighty Caravan BrutosaurMighty Caravan Brutosaur's days are numbered. I can confirm that when Shadowlands goes live, the shady vendors Talutu and Tricky Nick will cease selling it. Their other offerings – the Lost PlatysaurLost Platysaur pet and the Reins of the Palehide DirehornPalehide Direhorn mount, will remain available for purchase.

We will make sure that the unforgettable Brutosaur mount is added to the lists of possible items that are sold in the Black Market Auction Houses. And of course, this new Achievement "Conspicuous Consumption" is a Feat of Strength, so as such things go, it's not actually very conspicuous.

The Mighty Caravan Brutosaur comes with an Auctioneer and a premium price tag! Be ready to spend up to 5,000,000 Gold to get it!

5. Mythic Jaina Mount

The drop chance of Glacial TidestormGlacial Tidestorm will drastically decrease and the mount will become rare once Shadowlands is out.

As a result, Blizzard hotfixed Mythic Jaina so that she drops 2 Glacial TidestormGlacial Tidestorm mounts on live servers on February 14.

Dungeons and Raids

  • Battle of Dazar' alor
    • Lady Jaina Proudmoore now drops 2 Glacial TidestormGlacial Tidestorm mounts (was 1) when defeated on Mythic difficulty.
  • Ny' alotha, the Waking City
    • N'Zoth the Corruptor now drops 2 Ny'alotha Allseer Ny'alotha Allseer mounts (was 1) when defeated on Mythic difficulty.
      • With these mounts becoming quite rare once Shadowlands comes out, taking 20 weeks or more for a full Mythic raid group to get the mounts felt excessive.

6. Mythic N'Zoth Mount

The same applies to Ny'alotha Allseer Ny'alotha Allseer that drops from N'Zoth on Mythic difficulty on live servers. You can get two per run, and the drop chance will decrease when the new expansion is live.

7. Mythic Season 4 Elite PvP Armor Sets

The Elite Notorious Gladiator's Armor appearances are gated behind reaching various ranks in the ongoing PvP Season. They are going away with the end of PvP Season 4. There are four sets in total (Cloth, Leather, Mail, and Plate).

8. Level Up a Demon Hunter & Death Knight

Both Demon Hunters and Death Knights start at level 10 in Shadowlands, instead of 98 and 55 respectively, so it would be a good idea to level them up right now instead of waiting.

9. Battle for Azeroth PvP Achievements

The Conqueror of Azeroth Conqueror of Azeroth and Servant of N'Zoth Servant of N'Zoth achievements will also be harder to get when there are fewer players playing BfA content in Shadowlands, as pointed out by Redditor cybishop3.

10. Mythic+ Mounts

Mounts like Sharkbait's Favorite Crackers Sharkbait's Favorite Crackers from Freehold, Mummified Raptor Skull Mummified Raptor Skull from King's Rest, and Underrot Crawg Harness Underrot Crawg Harness from the Underrot will be harder to get, because you won't be able to farm them by doing low keystone runs and your chances will be reduced to one per week. Thanks gnotagnelfbutagnome for adding this.

I have have been playing this game for around 11 years and have rolled well over 20 or more toons to max level and I don't believe I have ever had more then 300,000 gold on a server ever lol How did Blizzard expect people to save 5 million for that Brutosaur in the 1 year it was available? I really wish they would stop making awesome stuff like this a once in a lifetime thing only a handful of people will ever obtain and make more interesting stuff everyone can enjoy

Mostly those who are either aggressively trading on AH or selling paid runs for gold. There is a lot of this trash on LFG these days, that in turn heavily reduced number of "free" runs and increased average requirements for an invite (more people buying those "Curve runs" = more groups demanding that you have it already). At least they are banning offers for cash, so there is way less of that, but gold runs are allowed. Also, WoW token has ruined the economy and inflated prices. Mounts like brutosaur serve as a gold sink, although they mainly annoy people playing normally, since that amount of gold isn't an issue for all these sellers. Sucks it's going away, it could have served as something one could slowly work towards to, and they've never removed similar mounts before.

That's something at least, though prices will likely skyrocket.

when Shadowlands releases, BFA will have been out for about 2 years, lets say thats 720 days, thats 6945g per day, if you cant make that in a day, then the mount isnt for you.

Did most of those already listed with the exception of a small handful of things I really don't care to chase after.  Decided to go and get caught up in Guild Wars 2 storyline and play around with a few Elite Specializations.   I'll wait till see what the pre-patch events will be like to actually focus again on WoW.  But as of now I'm a bit burned out atm and just need a refresher change of pace for the time being.

People who know how to make a lot of gold will already have this mount. Bidders for BMAH will be those of us with less gold. I doubt the price will go up.

Brawler's Club will also probably end its current season, and maybe should be on that list? I missed one season's mount because none of the news sources included it and I had forgotten to go back.

Literally going to be 2 full years come a month  next Tuesday lol. Point us a tad irrelevant as most of the people that will be buying it or will be able to will do so before it releases anyway.

      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
