World of Warcraft Guides and News

Day 2 of the race was quite a sight to behold, as the race unfolded in a very exciting manner, with the three top guilds all going in very different paths and Method and Limit biting at each other's tails throughout the day. In the end, Lady Ashvane and Orgozoa both fell and we ended up at 5/8, but let's start at the beginning. Today at 05:44 by Starym

Quick LFR Wing 1 Tips from WoW Instagram

In a new initiative, presumably to make LFR a more smooth experience, Blizzard have posted very quick overviews of the first three fights in the Eternal Palace. We have some great Abyssal Commander Sivara, Blackwater Behemoth and Radiance of Azshara illustrations to help get the basics from the dungeon journal down, and it looks pretty damn nice!

In case you need more detailed guides, however, or need some beyond the first three bosses, check out our Eternal Palace guide as well. Today at 00:19 by Starym 3 comments

The hotfixes aren't stopping and they aren't getting much smaller either! Today we have a few raid tweaks and a whole lot of Operation: Mechagon changes, more essence tuning, and a whole lot of quest fixes. Yesterday at 23:15 by Starym

World First Glory of the Eternal Raider Completed

Players were not able to complete Glory of the Eternal Raider until the most recent hotfixes went live yesterday and with it, the first batch of players have earned their Azshari Bloatray mount. Yesterday at 11:24 by Stan

Eternal Palace Race Day 1: 3/8 Down, Ashvane Stands + Kill Videos

The very first day of the Mythic Eternal Palace progress race was an interesting one, as it stood in stark contrast to the last big raid we had, with only three bosses down! The last larger raid, Battle of Dazar'alor, had 9 bosses, but 8 of them were cleared on the very first day, and while Crucible of Storms was much better in that regard, with only two bosses it was hard to judge what it meant for future pre-endboss difficulty. Today we've seen some serious opposition in the form of Lady Ashvane, the Eternal Palace's fourth boss, who has definitely proven her worth to Queen Azshara and then some, as she's defended the Palace very well and left the bosses dead count on 3 for day 1.

We're back to the interpretation of how exactly Vanilla patch 1.12 really worked and today we have more suspects being confirmed innocent, as Blizzard expand the Not a Bug list, from Cone of Cold and Arcane Missiles to Escape Artist and Hunter pet taunting. Yesterday at 00:43 by Starym

Conflict and Strife Rank 2 Hotfix Now Live

There was a bug with the Conflict and Strife Essence earlier today. 1,000 PvP rating is needed to unlock Rank 2, but players who opened their PvP Chest and met the requirements didn't receive anything after maintenance. A hotfix went out to fix the issue and all you need to do is log out and log back into the game to trigger the fix. Jul 16, 2019 at 20:33 by Stan

We have another huge batch this time around, featuring the announced class tuning focusing on PvP, a lot of changes to Eternal Palace bosses, a lot more Essence tweaks and much more. Jul 16, 2019 at 18:55 by Starym 3 comments

Classic Spotlight: Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros

Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros is possibly the most famous item in all of WoW. One of only two legendary items introduced with the base game, its power may not have lived up to its legend, but the effort you had to put in to get it most certainly did. Today we'll be taking a look at the weapon and how good it was in patch 1.12, how to get it, and we'll throw in an extra story related to it from Vanilla. Jul 14, 2019 at 17:01 by Starym 6 comments

The devs have now reached a stage where Classic is in a good state and they intend to shift their focus away from Beta, which ends today. The plan is to end the beta with a small in-game event and prepare for the global launch on August 27th. Jul 12, 2019 at 13:46 by Stan

Blizzard earlier today clarified how Aqueous Reliquaries drop in The Eternal Palace raid and that there was a data error calculating their drop chance this week, so starting with next week's raid reset, the amounts will be fixed. Jul 12, 2019 at 13:22 by Stan

Hunter Beta Issues - Not a Bug, Fixed and Actual Bugs

We have a large post over on the WoW Classic beta forums where Blizzard are addressing all the outstanding issues with Hunters. We have a huge amount of problems listed below, from the now expected "not a bug" things players report that are actually working as intended, to bugs that have already been fixed or will be very soon, and actual bugs that aren't fixed yet but are on the known issues list. Jul 12, 2019 at 00:59 by Starym

Here come the third set of hotfixes in as many days, and today we have a fair amount of Eternal Palace tuning and bug fixes, including nerfs to Queen Azshara, some Heroic Warfront tinkering and item changes, in addition to the usual quest adjustments. Ok, I seem to have run out of synonyms for "change", so let's get to the hotfixes: Jul 12, 2019 at 00:26 by Starym

Queen Azshara Heroic World First by SPK + Videos

It's taken a while for the final boss in the Eternal Palace to fall on Heroic difficulty, with the raid having opened on Tuesday for US/OC guilds, but Queen Azshara has finally been taken down on the currently hardest available difficulty. A lot of top guilds are doing splits and not focusing on getting the kill, but plenty are, so congratulations to Strawberry Puppy Kisses from the US on getting the kill, despite, as they say themselves, not really pushing for it. Jul 11, 2019 at 03:25 by Starym 1 comment

We have a bunch of quest fixes in today's hotfixes, as well as some essence and other item tweaks and more! Jul 11, 2019 at 01:00 by Starym 1 comment

The Not a Bug List Strikes Again - Berserker Stance

Update: there was an addition blue post that further clarified the situation. It has been added to the bottom of the article.

Here we go again! It seems players keep getting convinced that something's not quite right™ over on the WoW Classic beta, and this time around it's the extra critical strike chance granted by warriors' Berserker Stance. Jul 10, 2019 at 22:38 by Starym 1 comment

Here come the first post-raid release hotfixes and aside from the big issue with Azshara's final phase transition, there's not many raid fixes to be had! Instead we have a whole lot of item fixes and tweaks, from Heart of Azeroth essences (mostly fixing those that inadvertently broke stealth), to a lot of Punch Card changes and a lot of nerfs to the effectiveness of items in PvP.
