We have a big edition of Blizzard’s weekly WoW summary! It’s been quite the week, with 12.1 previews proceeding at a speedy pace. The patch arrives with the next reset on the 11th, so this week we got a really good look at the new zone, the Coiled Isle, with all its rewards, new zone talents and activities. We also got a fuller version of the 12.1 content notes, which this time included all the class tuning and reworks! Then there’s the Discord integration feature, which allows seamless messaging between in-game chat and Discord. You can even add guild chat! The UI additions also got a preview of their own, with Cooldown Manager, ping system, raid frame updates and more. And then there’s the Season 1 ending warnings, with Decor Duel and Turbulent Timeways getting their own heads up posts.
And finally, the WoW Portal Room Discord reached 50,000 members, and is hosting 5 days of giveaways starting today!
Each week brings you adventurous discovery and fresh rewards—be sure to check in to learn more about what awaits you in Azeroth.

Join the Final Surge of Decor Duels
Heed the final call to join Decor Duels before the doors close in this final surge before the Curse of Ula’tek goes live.
- Hiders will no longer be automatically revealed when thirty seconds remain in the match.
- Flies have been removed from Hiders who stay in one location for too long.
- The energy increase rate for Seekers has been reduced by 20%.
- Players will earn double the rate of Illusionary Coins
Once the dust settles and Decor Duel is no longer available, players will still be able to purchase Decor items from the vendors in Silvermoon City using Voidlight Marl.
Take Time for Turbulent Timeways Before it Ends
Once more, the Bronze Dragonflight has discovered growing disturbances in the timeways as several rapidly intersect our own.
When: June 30–August 11
Timewalk through a previous expansion each week for six consecutive weeks, beginning and ending with Dragonflight. This grand tour through World of Warcraft’s past features six Timewalking Dungeons: Algeth’ar Academy, Halls of Infusion, Neltharus, Ruby Life Pools, The Azure Vaults, and Brackenhide Hollow.
Players can also shop at a new Dragonflight vendor, Xydan, located in the Bronze Enclave in Valdrakken.
Also, for the duration of Turbulent Timeways, the Timewalking quest available from the weekly quest giver will offer an increased reward—a Heroic Cache of Quel’Thalas Treasures with items level 259–276.
