Korrak's Revenge

Korrak's Revenge is a throwback Battleground inspired by the earliest day of Alterac Valley.

You can queue up for it by pressing "H" and selecting Korrak's Revenge to start the Classic version of Alterac Valley.

Chromie also offers the Soldier of Time weekly quest that we recommend to pick up before queueing up for Korrak's Revenge. In order to complete the quest, you must earn 500 Honor in Korrak's Revenge to get 200 Timewarped Badge Icon Timewarped Badges and 5 Mark of Honor Icon Mark of Honor.

The meta-achievement of the Battleground is Alterac Valley of Olde Icon Alterac Valley of Olde and you will earn it by collecting 200 Timewarped Badge Icon Timewarped Badges from quests and participating in Alterac Valley Classic.

The goal is to focus on collecting tokens from enemy corpses to summon mighty reinforcements and help your team claim victory.

Alterac Valley of Olde Icon Alterac Valley of Olde incorrectly states that it rewards faction-themed mounts and a patch is required to fix that on live servers.

You will receive the faction-themed mounts from a bonus objective that pops up when you are inside the battleground. If you did not receive your mount, but completed the objective, we advise you to log out of the game and log back in to see if you received your reward.

Badges earned prior to the November 10 fix will not count as credit toward the quest, and must be re-earned.

Alliance players will get the Stormpike Battle Ram Icon Stormpike Battle Ram mount.

Horde players can unlock Frostwolf Snarler Icon Frostwolf Snarler.

6.

Old Vanilla World Bosses

Players level 30 and above can take on Lord Kazzak, Azuregos, and one of the four Dragons of Nightmare (Emeriss, Lethon, Taerar, and Ysondre) each day for Item Level 441 loot and 50 Timewarped Badge Icon Timewarped Badges.

Do not forget to pick The Originals weekly quest before killing the bosses to receive 150 Timewarped Badge Icon Timewarped Badges. You can also get bonus rolls in Dazar'alor or Boralus for an extra chance to receive items.

  • Lord Kazzak spawns within the Tainted Scar in the Blasted Lands.
  • You can find Azuregos in southeastern Azshara.
  • Emeriss, Lethon, Taerar, and Ysondre, also known as the four Dragons of Nightmare, have a chance to spawn in one of following locations: Duskwood (Twilight Grove), Hinterlands (Seradane), Feralas (Dream Bough), and Ashenvale (Bough Shadow).
