Everything Coming in Patch 10.2.5

Recommended Posts

Sn-mka-obrazovky-2024-01-16-o-16-39-22.j

We're going over everything coming in the Seeds of Renewal update!

Content Overview

Patch 10.2.5 is a relatively minor update. It contains barely any class changes and some content hasn't been tested on the PTR, mainly the Dragonflight epilogue quests, Gilneas Reclamation, and Azerothian Archives group activities.

  • Class changes - A few classes have been updated. Patch 10.2.5 primarily focuses on updating animations of Shadowlands Covenant Abilities.
  • Worldwide Dragonriding - Dragonriding works wherever flying is available with some exceptions.
  • Azerothian Archives - A new public event that awards cosmetics.
  • Follower Dungeons - Queue up for Normal Difficulty dungeons solo with NPC teammates.
  • Outland Cup - 13 new courses and rewards await!
  • Hearthstone Anniversary Event - Starting March 11, Heartshtone's 10th Anniversary will be celebrated with a week-long event.

For more details check out the official patch notes.

Worldwide Dragonriding

  • Dragonriding will be available in every flying zone in Patch 10.2.5.
  • Unfortunately, there's the Riding Abroad Riding Abroad debuff for Dragonriding outside of the Dragon Isles which limits maximum Dragonriding speed to 85% of the maximum speed in the Dragon Isles. This means Dragonriding will be 15% slower at max speed in the open world.
  • You can't Dragonride old mounts, that's coming in the War Within pre-patch.
  • Earlier during 10.2.5 testing, Dragonriding was available at Level 30. However, this has changed now and Dragonriding and the talents unlock at Level 60.
  • Characters under Level 60 can still ride the Dragonriding mounts with regular flying.
  • Druid's Flight Form will support Dragonriding in the War Within pre-patch, not 10.2.5.

Dracthyr Soar Changes

  • The Soar Soar ability will work the same as Dragonriding. When you use Soar, you will be able to use  all Dragonriding abilities just like you can on a regular Dragonriding mount.
  • The Dracthyr will unlock Soar at the end of the starting zone (Forbidden Reach) experience.
  • The old version of Soar will no longer be available.
  • Soar's 10 second cooldown now starts the moment you take off instead of when you land.

Azerothian Archives

The event takes place in the Azure Span. You can see the exact location on the map below. There's also a countdown informing you about when the next event will start when you hover above the horn icon.

As opposed to other events, Azerothian Archives is not tied to player power / gear. The event only awards cosmetics. The whole event takes about 9 minutes and you need to wait about 5 minutes before another dig starts.

When the event begins, you will see a bar appear on your UI similar to the Superbloom bar. The goal is to interact with objectives to collect pages. Group acitivities have not been tested on the PTR! The rewards are random here. As you can see, you can receive a purple quality bag at the beginning upon collecting 1000 pages.

WoWScrnShot_122023_200057.jpg

The weekly quest can be obtained from Eadweard Dalyngrigge (I'm not even sure I've spelled that right), let's call him Edward. Upon completing the quest, you will receive 5,000 Mysterious Fragments, a currency used to buy cosmetics from the quartermaster and 3,000 reputation with the Azerothian Archives.

WoWScrnShot_122023_200114.jpg

You gain pages by excavating nearby objects and ore.

WoWScrnShot_122023_200204.jpg

There's a shadowflame dragon you need to kill which completes the quest, but the dragon should spawn at the end of the event not at the start, anyway, here's the loot you get from the dragon.

WoWScrnShot_122023_200443.jpg

WoWScrnShot_122023_200503.jpg

The epic bag also contains event currency and there is probably a chance to receive cosmetics as well, it's just not guaranteed.

WoWScrnShot_122023_201200.jpg

There are various ranks of reputation with the Azerothian Archives faction in 10.2.5.

Junior is the initial rank with Azerothian Archives. You will reach Capable at 10500 reputation, Learned at 21000, Resident at 32500 and Tenured at 42000.

The grind will probably be easy with Darkmoon Faire and other buffs.

If there are no nearby players, you will receive a solo buff that increases your Pages collected, similar to the Superblooms buff.

Follower Dungeons

Accessing Follower Dungeons is a breeze through the Group Finder. The new Follower Dungeon dropdown option lets you embark on any of the 8 Dragonflight Dungeons with NPC teammates, solo or in a group.

We noticed Dawn of the Infinite is not available as a Follower Dungeon.

Say goodbye to waiting times - these dungeons come equipped with NPC teammates! As you step into the dungeon, you'll be welcomed by friendly NPCs, and yes, there's even a Mage Table for thirsty healers!

WoWScrnShot_111723_164407.jpg

New players will surely appreciate Dungeon Assistance Dungeon Assistance which you can turn on if you would prefer the followers lead the way or turn off when you'd like to lead.

For newcomers,Dungeon Assistance Dungeon Assistance is a game-changer. Toggle it on for guidance from your NPC allies, or off if you're ready to lead the charge.

Follower Dungeons operate at Normal Difficulty, offering Item Level 421 Explorer 3/8 gear in Dragonflight Season 3.

Snímka obrazovky 2023-11-17 o 16.45.37.jpg

You can complete Dungeon Quests within Follower Dungeons. Keep in mind, the rewards are more suited for characters leveling up due to their lower item level.

Expect impressive AI behavior. If you find yourself in a tight spot, the tank NPC will heroically taunt mobs off you, among other smart actions.

Feel like switching specializations mid-run? No problem! Your group composition will adapt seamlessly to your new specialization.

      Solozerro has defeated Mythic Garrosh alone in MoP Remix! Congrats to the amazing feat that took months of dedication to accomplish!
      In an emotional tribute to a friend who passed away during the transition between World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm expansions, one dedicated player has fulfilled a long-standing promise to leave their mark in the game's history.
      "I promised her I would make a name for myself in WoW history, and today, I can finally say I've done this in her honor," Solozerro said.
      This accomplishment was the result of several evenings of dedicated attempts, each preceded by a week of rigorous farming. The process spanned multiple weeks, with each attempt lasting about 15 minutes.
      The player faced significant challenges, particularly with the Y’Shaarj adds during Garrosh Hellscream’s Empowered Whirlwind phase. "You need a high DPS check just for those adds," Solozerro explained.
      Back when the fight was nearly impossible to solo as a DPS, Solo had to do it in tank specialization to avoid fight resets due to mind control, which significantly impacted their damage output.
      Despite these obstacles, the player remained steadfast. "In total, I collected over 1.5 million threads on my cloak," they said, underscoring the extent of their efforts.

      Even the recent nerfs to Garrosh Hellscream posed a unique challenge. "I overslept and when I woke up and heard about the nerfs, I was sure someone would have tried it. During the fight, I still had adds up, but luckily, I managed to meet the DPS check to avoid the Empowered Whirlwind."
      This achievement not only honors a friend's memory but also serves as an inspiration to the WoW community. "These changes will affect a lot and might actually push more people to try it," the player reflected.
      Here’s the solo video! We want to congratulate Solozerro once again and express how thrilled we are to have been part of this incredible journey!
      Solozerro's journey has come to an end today with 24 days of MoP Remix remaining! The player has soloed Mythic Garrosh after the recent raid nerfs, nearly 1 months after soloing the Paragons of Klaxxi.

      As of the War Within pre-patch, Alysrazor in the Firelands raid is bugged, preventing players from getting the Flametalon of Alysrazor mount.
      Blizzard made various updates to flying in the War Within pre-patch, and a possible side-effect could be tied to Alysrazor not leaving her spawn location when you engage her in the raid.
      Hopefully, Blizzard will soon release a fix for the issue. Until then, don't bother soloing the Firelands!
