Recommended Posts

Blizzard are adjusting the prices for Australian WoW, for subscriptions and the token, and it seems prices are going up and New Zealand is not affected. The changes start on December 15th.

World of Warcraft is played in many regions around the world, and we regularly conduct reviews of the prices of our games and services in all currencies. From time to time, it’s necessary to make changes to certain pricing based on a variety of factors, including global and regional market conditions. Following a careful evaluation, we wanted to provide notice that we’ll soon be adjusting the Australian dollar (AUD) prices for World of Warcraft Subscriptions, Game Time, and WoW Tokens.

The new AUD pricing for World of Warcraft Subscriptions, Game Time, and WoW Tokens, reflected in the table below, will go into effect on 15 December 2020 AEDT. As a courtesy to our current players, all recurring subscriptions as of 11:59 p.m. 14 December 2020 AEDT will keep the previous price until 11:59 p.m. 14 June 2021 AEST.

New Zealand Dollar (NZD) pricing will be unaffected by this price change, and players in New Zealand will continue to purchase digital game software, virtual items, subscriptions, and optional game services at the current NZD pricing.

We know that people have a lot of options for entertainment, and we never take pricing adjustments such as this lightly. We appreciate that players choose to spend their time with World of Warcraft, and we are committed to ensuring the game continues to provide Australian players with great entertainment value.

If you would like to review your World of Warcraft subscription and payment method, you can do so through Blizzard Account Management at any time. If you wish to cancel your World of Warcraft subscription, instructions to do so can be found here.

New Price Starting 15 December AUD
6 Month Recurring Subscription / 180 Days Game Time $103.50 ($17.25 per month)
3 Month Recurring Subscription / 90 Days Game Time $55.80 ($18.60 per month)
1 Month Recurring Subscription / 30 Days Game Time $19.95
WoW Token $27
Blizzard Balance for WoW Token Redemption $20

I guess they're making more money than ever from MTX and they wanted to compensate by making sure they get more from subscriptions as well.

 

Their reasoning - with regards to inflation and/or strong vs weak currency - somehow (almost?) never is used to drop the subscription prices. They're always silent when it's not in their favor.

It just means the worth of the currencies around the world is decreasing....hence why globalists are talking about 'The Great Reset'...

20 australian dollars are worth 13 euros, which is the sub price in europe, so they're just making it even.

Other than a dip in March, likely when the heavy lockdowns were put in, the AUD has been pretty good and only getting stronger against the dollar. 

That said I agree on the 2nd part, they'd never have made it cheaper had it continued to fall.

The point is that if a currency becomes stronger, they don't drop the prices.

The point is that with their message, they're clearly stating that they're doing it to bring the sub prices in line with other currencies. Yet they never(?) have ever reduced sub prices when a currency has become stronger.

      Players are currently unable to catalyze gear from the Black Temple Timewalking cache into class set piece.
      It's unclear whether this limitation is a bug or an intended feature, but the gear obtained from completing this week's Black Temple Timewalking quest cannot be converted into a set piece using the Revival Catalyst, as reported on Reddit.
      I personally checked this at Antuka and can confirm that gear from the weekly quest cache cannot be catalyzed. I received the Grips of Damnation from the Essence boss yesterday, and found that the item was ineligible for conversion at the Catalyst.

      Here's how you can upgrade your legendary weapons in Dragonflight Season 4 next week!
      This one is for Fyr'alath and Nasz'uro owners. You must first farm 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. However, you can only acquire 1 Antique Bronze Bullion per week from Awakened Raid bosses. The bullion will drop in Raid Finder difficulty too.
      Next week, the cap will be raised to 2 and a catch-up method will be implemented, so players who didn't have the chance to get their first bullion can get it from the weekly quest in Valdrakken.
      Anyway, the soonest you can upgrade your legendary to the base item level of 502 is during the week of April 30th (so next week).
      Once you have 2 Antique Bronze Bullions, head to the Parting Glass in Valdrakken.

      Evokers need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Death Knights, Paladins, and Warriors need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for  2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Once purchased, use the consumable to upgrade your legendary to item level 502, the base item level for Season 4.
      After that, you can further upgrade your legendary using Flightstones and crests. Check out our gear upgrading guide for more info!

      Cache of Timewarped Treasures obtained from Black Temple Timewalking quest this week has a chance to contain Ashes of Al'ar!
      Don't forget to complete this week's Timewalking raid! If you're having trouble getting into a group, create your own one, invite 2 tanks 4-5 healers and around 14 DPS and you are all set! Visit Shattrath, and talk to the Timewalking NPC to queue up for the raid.
      The raid is extremely easy to compete and what's more, you get item level 493 loot along your way.
      Upon defeating Illidan Stormrage and completing the quest, you will receive Cache of Timewarped Treasures that has an increased chance of containing Ashes of Al'ar or another piece of gear.
      Demon Hunters shouldn't forget to get their warglaives transmog arsenal from Illidan and the reputation buff will help you add a couple of mounts to your collection!

      Tama's Dragonflight Helper is a Weakaura that displays a weekly to-do list in the game and it's been updated for Dragonflight Season 4!
      The WeakAura is very useful for keeping track of everything in the game at max level. It shows you a to-do list with the weekly tasks, provides you with the locations of rares, super rares, information about your current Renown standing, and more.



      You will find Tama's Dragonflight Helper at wago.io. Please note that you must first download and install WeakAuras 2 to import the string.

      Cataclysm's Grim Batol has been added to the Mythic+ Dungeon rotation in The War Within Season 1, and one boss received a brand new model recently on the Alpha.
      General Umbriss, the first boss of the dungeon, got a shiny new model, which is quite different from his previous one. Below is a screenshot of the old a new model.
