Blizzard just shared the official preview of the Greedy Emissary event’s return! It’s coming on July 1st and brings with it an amazing mount, elixirs, tier 2 remaster recolors, and much more!
Crazy Buffs to Legacy Drop Rates
There’s also the Collector’s Bounty buff! It grants up to 25 times more select rewards like legacy (pre-Dragonflight) mounts, legendary items like Eye of Sulfuras or the Warglaives, and doubles transmog drops for legacy loot across the board as well. You can actually turn the buff off and back on again, in case you really don’t like loot or something.
But that’s not all! There’s even more new rewards to be had. From the new Tyrael’s Charger-like mount, to the Tier 2 remaster recolors, elixirs with buffs depending on what type of goblin you slay, and more. You can grab all the new rewards with Hellstone Shards which you get from killing goblins. And those goblins will be showing up in their usual portals in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, and Dornogal. But there’s even more of them in Undermine, as their spawn rate there is based on rare mob kills!
We’re bringing back the Greedy Emissary event*, and Azeroth’s bravest must band together to deliver a swift end to greedy, saw-toothed thieves. And, alongside the Greedy Emissary event, take advantage of the Collector’s Bounty buff when you defeat legendary foes once again to collect their bountiful rewards!
When: Begins July 1 at 8:00 am PDT and ends July 29 at 8:00 am PDT
Where: Stormwind, Orgrimmar, Dornogal, and Undermine
Currency: Hellstone Shards earned during the Greedy Emissary event.
During the Greedy Emissary event, you’ll encounter even more of these deviously greedy Treasure Goblins in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, Dornogal, and Undermine for new diabolical rewards— including the Inarius’ Charger mount.
Collector’s Bounty Buff
Alongside the Greedy Emissary event, take advantage of the Collector’s Bounty buff. Foes in legacy dungeons and raids find themselves overloaded with extra treasure. Defeat them once again to collect their bountiful rewards for you and your Warband.
When: Begins July 1 at 8:00 am PDT and ends July 29 at 8:00 am PDT
If you’ve been on the hunt for rewards that have been eluding you, now’s the time to get them. The following will have drop rates increased by up to 10 times (and in one case, 25 times!), while your chance for Transmog loot drops is doubled in legacy (pre-Dragonflight) raids and dungeons:
- All pre-Dragonflight legacy mounts
- Eye of Sulfuras (Molten Core)
- Golden Hearthstone Card (The Nighthold)
- Bindings of the Windseeker (Molten Core)
- Warglaives of Azzinoth (Black Temple)
- Thori’dal, The Stars’ Fury (Sunwell Plateau)
Some exclusions do apply—for instance, all Timewalking content is excluded, as are Pets and Toys.
The Collector’s Bounty buff is active by default, but you can visit any innkeeper in the capital cities and Dalaran to turn it off or on again.
Portals-A-Plenty
Portals spawn every 60 minutes on the hour, and an icon of the Portal location appears on the Stormwind, Orgrimmar, and Dornogal maps if you’re in that zone.
- Dornogal: Portals spawn by the southeastern city exit after the target dummy area.
- Orgrimmar: Portals spawn outside Orgrimmar, by the entrance gate.
- Stormwind: Portals spawn by the Stormwind Docks.
Portals and Portal Storms in the Undermine
Portals abound in the Undermine, but spawning times and locations are a bit different. Killing any Undermine rare has a chance to trigger a Portal spawning a Treasure Goblin.
Treasure Goblins have gotten word that great loot can be nabbed in the Liberation of Undermine raid—defeat certain bosses, and there’s a chance that it will trigger a Portal to spawn.
If that isn’t enough, try to survive the Portal Storms! At the quarter-hour every hour, a Portal Storm can spawn another five Portals. Not only are these Portals enhanced with additional Affixes, but they each have a chance to hand-deliver pesky Treasure Goblins for even more chances to grab loot. So, keep an eye on your map for the icon to lead you where you need to go.
Treasure Goblin Affixes and Elixirs
Treasure Goblins are more dangerous now that they carry more affixes from their world. Icons on top of both the summoning Portal and the Treasure Goblin itself will indicate what affixes the Treasure Goblin currently has applied.
Customize what affixes a Treasure Goblin will have by tossing special Elixirs on the Goblin summoning portals, but beware, adding more Affixes to a Portal will increase the number of goblins that can spawn.
| Affix | Elixir | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Arcane | Arcane Elixir | Spawns Arcane Overloads, inflicting Arcane damage to enemies in the area. If no enemies are in the area, inflicts Arcane damage to enemies within 50 yards. |
| Blistering | Blistering Elixir | Summons Blistering Eruptions, which deal Shadowflame damage to players in the impact area. |
| Connected | Connected Elixir | Occasionally spawns hordes of Fallen and Fallen Shaman. |

| Explosive | Explosive Elixir | Conjures Explosive orbs at enemies. After a short delay, they explode, dealing Fire damage to enemies caught in the blast. |
| Healthy | Healthy Elixir | Spawns health globes that heal players who step on them. |
| Magma | Magma Elixir | Hurls Magma at enemies, dealing Volcanic damage. Each impact summons a ball of lava that fixates on an enemy and deals Volcanic damage on impact. |
| Rallying | Rallying Elixir | Occasionally spawns hordes of Demonic Bovines. |
| Rich | Rich Elixir | Spawns pools of money that give Greedy Motivation when stepped on, increasing Haste and Movement Speed for 15 seconds. |
| Storming | Storming Elixir | Spawns pools of lightning that deal damage to enemies who step on them. |
| Tempestuous | Tempestuous Elixir | Pulls enemies to the Goblin with Tempest and then attempts to hit them with Arcane Gust, dealing Arcane damage and knocking enemies back. |
| Trapper | Trapper Elixir | Spawns Goblin Zapper traps, which deal 11% max health damage to enemies stepping on them. |
| Windforce | Windforce Elixir | Spawns Wind Vortexes that deal Nature damage and knock back players in the impact area. |
Diabolical Rewards
Earn Hellstone Shards from Hellcaller Chests dropped by Treasure Goblins and completing activities during the Greedy Emissary event, then exchange them at Hellhunter Baranar, located in The Foreground in Dornogal, for hellish armor sets and other goodies. Your first ten Hellcaller Chests will always yield Hellstone Shards. Hellcaller Chests can also contain Valorstones and otherworldly items.
You won’t want to miss some truly iconic rewards, including recolors of classic Tier 2 armor sets for your characters.
Join the hunt to stop the greedy Treasure Goblins taunting the citizens of Azeroth.
* Event not available in World of Warcraft® Classic Era and Cataclysm Classic™.
