WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Phase 3: Developers Announce Release Date And Content

WoW 20th Phase 3 has been open for some time, and the estimated opening time of Phase 4 is the spring of 2025, and it may be officially opened soon. The content of Phase 4 Rise of The Blood God is equally exciting. It will mainly open two contents, Zul’Gurub Raid and The Dragons of Nightmare World Bosses. Zul’Gurub Raid is the first 20-man team dungeon launched in WoW 20th Anniversary. It is also considered a catch-up team raid, allowing players who are a little behind in progress to grow quickly. The difficulty and mechanism of the raid are more friendly to players and guilds, and the reset time is shorter. Zul’Gurub Raid offers rewards including 20th WoW Gold, gear, and two mounts: Swift Razzashi Raptor and Swift Zulian Tiger. Zul’Gurub Raid Zul’Gurub is located in the northeastern portion of Stranglethorn Vale, east of Lake Nazferiti. It was once the capital of Gurubashi Trolls, but was eventually destroyed by civil war and corruption. Centuries later, Atal’ai Priests returned to Zul’Gurub to summon Blood God, Hakkar, for evil purposes. Zandalar Tribe now seeks adventurers to help them stop this summoning. Zul’Gurub Raid resets every 72 hours (basically every 3 days). Alliance players can choose to enter Zul’Gurub from Duskwood into Stranglethorn Vale, or go north from Booty Bay. The fastest route for Horde players is from Grom’gol Base Camp in Stranglethorn Vale. Boss Overview In Zul’Gurub Raid, you must first defeat the five high priests before fighting Blood God, Hakkar, because these five high priests will provide very powerful buffs to Blood God, Hakkar. Killing the corresponding high priest will make Hakkar lose the corresponding buff. If you challenge Blood God, Hakkar directly, it will be very difficult. The buffs provided by each high priest to Hakkar are as follows: Aspect of Jeklik (High Priestess Jeklik): Causes about 1500 AOE damage and silences everyone in the area for 8 seconds, an average of once every 21 seconds. Aspect of Venoxis (High Priest Venoxis): Corrupted Blood will cause about 450 damage to the team every 2 seconds, and the frequency of activation is relatively high. Aspect of Mar’li (High Priestess Mar’li): Launched against the target with the highest hatred, Gouges for 2 seconds, and clears the hatred of this target. Tanks are required to accumulate hatred in turns. Aspect of Thekal (High Priest Thekal): Hakkar’s attack speed is increased by 150%. Aspect of Arlokk (High Priestess Arlokk: Usually launched on the target with the highest hatred, stunning it for 6 seconds. Zul’Gurub Raid Loot Boss Loots Each high priest has a separate loot pool, but some loot is shared: Band of Servitude Seal of the Gurubashi Berserker Belt of Untapped Power Blooddrenched Mask Cloak of the Hakkari Worshipers Gloves of the Tormented Might of the Tribe Sacrificial Gauntlets Zulian Headdress Zulian Scepter of Rites The loot in Zul’Gurub Raid is very rich, including various weapons, gears, rings and amulets and WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold. Because of space limitations, the following are some of the more important loot: Band of Servitude Heart of Hakkar Seal of the Gurubashi Berserker Swift Razzashi Raptor Swift Zulian Tiger Warblade of the Hakkari (Main hand) & Warblade of the Hakkari (Offhand) Zin’rokh, Destroyer of Worlds Non-Boss Loots Zul’Gurub will also provide a new set of armor for each class. Each set contains 5 pieces of epic quality gear. However, the sets themselves are not boss drops in Zul’Gurub Raids, but are obtained through quest rewards and reputation requirements with Zandalar Tribe. Instead, you need to collect loot to craft the armor. These armors are: Druid: Haruspex’s Garb Hunter: Predator’s Armor Mage: Illusionist’s Attire Paladin: Freethinker’s Armor Priest: Confessor’s Raiment Rogue: Madcap’s Outfit Shaman: Augur’s Regalia Warlock: Demoniac’s Threads Warrior: Vindicator’s Battlegear Note that while all 5 pieces are part of a set, you can only obtain the actual necklace when you reach Exalted status with Zandalar Tribe. Once you have reached enough reputation with Zandalar Tribe, you can add enchants with specific class properties to your Helm or Leg slots at Zanza the Restless. Here are the enchantments: Druid (Animist’s Caress): +10 Stamina +10 Intellect, +24 Healing Hunter (Falcon’s Call): +24 Ranged Attack Power, +10 Stamina, +1% Hit Mage (Presence of Sight): +18 Damage/Healing, +1% Spell Hit Paladin (Syncretist’s Sigil): +10 Stamina, +7 Defense, +24 Healing Priest (Prophetic Aura): +10 Stamina, +4 mana/5 sec, +24 Healing Rogue (Death’s Embrace): +28 Attack Power, +1% Dodge Shaman (Vodouisant’s Vigilant Embrace): +15 Intellect, +13 Damage/Healing Warlock (Hoodoo Hex): +10 Stamina, +18 Damage/Healing Warrior (Presence of Might): +10 Stamina, +7 Defense, +15 Shield Block How To Gain Reputation? There are 4 ways to collect reputation with Zandalar Tribe. 1. Zul’Gurub Raid Each completed Zul’Gurub Raid will give you 2,500-3,000 reputation points. 2. Quests Zandalar Tribe has various quests. Collect these quests and complete them to gain reputation. 3. Collect Bijous Any monster or boss you kill in Zul’Gurub has a chance to drop various Bijous. In the quest “A Bijou for Zanza”, you need to give these Bijous to Vinchaxa on Yojamba Isle. After completing Destroy Bijou, you will gain Zandalar Honor Tokens with Zandalar Tribe. The gems that can be collected are as follows: Blue Hakkari Bijou Bronze Hakkari Bijou Gold Hakkari Bijou Green Hakkari Bijou Orange Hakkari Bijou Purple Hakkari Bijou Red Hakkari Bijou Silver Hakkari Bijou Yellow Hakkari Bijou 4. Collect Coins Similar to Collect Bijou, you need to collect various coins and give them to Vinchaxa to complete the task. The coins that can be collected are: Bloodscalp Coin Gurubashi Coin Hakkari Coin Razzashi Coin Sandfury Coin Skullsplitter Coin Vilebranch Coin Witherbark Coin Zulian Coin After you have collected enough reputation, you can redeem rewards with Zandalar Honor Tokens at Rin’wosho the Trader. Some of his products can also be directly redeemed with gold. The above is a brief introduction to Zu’Gurub rewards. Because Zu’Gurub Raid has so much content, there are still many rewards that have not been introduced in detail. New and old players can look forward to it.

When you are in World of WarCraft, the first stage of the game is always the most difficult, because at this time you have neither enough XP to help your character become stronger through upgrading, nor powerful gear to arm and protect yourself, everything is waiting for you to go to the starting area to explore. Therefore, the choice of starting zones is crucial. In 2024, WoW Classic launched its 20th Anniversary server, allowing you to experience new areas and new content, and feel the sense of achievement of upgrading from scratch in the classic version again. Since you may not have played WoW Classic for a long time before this, and the game itself has also undergone some adjustments, in order not to affect your WoW 20th Anniversary upgrade experience, you must choose your starting zones carefully. Based on this, we have ranked the 6 zones in the game from low to high. And introduce them to you one by one. If you want to know which one is the best, please see the end! 6. Teldrassil This is the habitat of the popular Night Elf, but it is not a good starting zone because once you leave Shadowglen, you will find that the rest of Teldrassil is full of dangerous tomb nests, which are inhabited by many monsters. Although clearing them can bring a lot of 20th Anniversary Gold, the high density of monsters is not suitable for a new character to face. In addition, due to the circular shape of Teldrassil, you are rarely far away from your target, which makes it difficult to avoid enemy attacks by pulling away in combat. However, these are not to say that Teldrassil is useless. In fact, it may be the best of all the starting zones in terms of aesthetics, and due to its small overall area, it will save time to explore - provided that you are strong enough to defeat all enemies within range. 5. Mulgore One reason why Mulgore is unpopular may be that Tauren race living here is not popular. Even if someone chooses Tauren, it is probably because it is the only Druid in Horde. However, what really affects the popularity of Mulgore is that although it is beautiful, it is very large. If you don’t have a mount, it may take half an hour to visit each location, and because the quests are scattered, you may even have to run all over the zone. Even more tricky is that the danger of crossing between areas in Mulgore is also very high. For example, when you reach the wasteland, you may not be able to guarantee that you can survive smoothly, whether in Hardcore or Classic 20th Anniversary. However, the advantage of Mulgore is that the scenery here is good, and the strength of Tauren is enough to handle most quests within the range. 4. Dun Morogh In terms of the beauty of the landscape, Dun Morogh is famous in the game community for its moving snow scenery. If you choose this as the starting zone, although it takes a lot of time to cross the entire zone, fortunately, the exploration of Ironforge and the mountains is not very difficult, and the quests can provide a lot of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold as rewards, and the difficulty is not too high. Although there are a few dangerous caves in this zone, it is much better than Teldrassil or Mulgore, and the connection between Ironforge and Stormwind also makes the journey between areas easier. In addition, it is recommended that you go to Loch Modan to upgrade your character level before reaching Westfall. 3. Tirisfal Glades The areas in this zone have a high quest and monster appearance rate, which can improve your gold farming efficiency. Among all the areas, Deathknell is the fastest and easiest, and the spider cave is more difficult. But after leaving Deathknell, you will find that the road to other areas will be tortuous, and you may always have to go back. Perhaps this is the main reason Tirisfal Glades did not enter the top 2. 2. Durotar This is the starting area for Orcs and Trolls. It is vast and very difficult to cross. Fortunately, the quest density here is very high, which can ensure that your journey is fulfilling and meaningful. You can knock down three or four enemies during almost every trip, and most of the quests are also simple, just clean the map or collect some props. In addition, Durotar’s Ragefire Chasm, as the lowest level dungeon in the game, can still provide you with some excellent equipment at a lower difficulty. However, please be careful of Fizzle and his gang, as well as Skull Rock when traversing Durotar. 1. Elwynn Forest In fact, not only in World of WarCraft series, Elwynn Forest can even be regarded as the most famous explorable zone in most MMORPGs. For WoW 20th Anniversary players, the exploration difficulty here is not high. There is almost no real threat except for Hogger or some kobold caves. You can even get your first green out in the game through Hogger’s quest. As for the density of quests, Elwynn Forest is even more comfortable. You will find that the quests are evenly distributed between the west and the east, and there are enough vendors to help you manage your luggage during the journey. At the same time, the difficulty of the quests is not high. Although the long journey between the east and the west may make you tired, it is relatively short compared to the walking routes of the lower-ranked zones. Perhaps after understanding the above ranking information, you will be more willing to choose top 1 as your starting zone for WoW Classic 20th Anniversary, but in fact you can also enter those zones with lower rankings but more difficult to challenge yourself!

If you’ve only played modern World of WarCraft, you may not know the fun of races - in addition to class, race is one of the main factors affecting your character’s combat capabilities in WoW Classic. And if you want to experience this feature, now is the best time, because WoW Classic 20th Anniversary server has launched not long ago. While the number of races and characteristics of WoW 20th Anniversary may change compared to the original server, the main feature that they can provide is utility and a lot of damage hasn’t changed. For most WoW 20th Anniversary classes, there should be a race that suits them best, but unless you are a top-level player in the game, the difference between different races is relatively small. So if you have a particular like race in mind, you can definitely try it, unless you want to complete Molten Core raid better. It is also worth noting that the races available will be different depending on whether you are Alliance or Horde. Therefore, we will introduce you to the major races in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary, using Alliance and Horde as classification standards. Alliance Races 1. Human This is the race with the most class combinations for Alliance, with playable classes including Mage, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior. Although the racial characteristics of Human are not as strong as other races, you can improve your reputation through diplomatic advantages after choosing this race. Specifically, if you become a human, you will gain 10% reputation for each event you participate in. This is a very useful bonus that can save you a lot of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold, because using other channels to improve reputation may take more time and gold. 2. Night Elf The available classes for this race include Druid, Hunter, Priest, Rogue, and Warrior. It is also the only Alliance race in WoW 20th Anniversary that can play as a Druid. In addition, Night Elf has a very powerful Shadowmeld skill, which allows you to leave the battle and enter stealth mode when the battle situation is unfavorable, preventing the enemy from continuing to damage you. 3. Dwarf When you become a Dwarf, you can have +10 frost resistance, or 5 additional gun skills and Stoneform by finding nearby treasures on the minimap. Among them, Stoneform can make you immune to bleeding, poisoning and diseases caused by enemies, and add a +10% armor for 8 seconds, which is very useful in PVP mode.

But in fact, the real power of Dwarf is a special ability called Fear Ward, which is only available to Dwarfs playing Priest class. It can protect you from the effects of fear in the next round and provide you with a self-healing buff called Desperate Prayer. 4. Gnome Gnome has relatively few classes to choose from in the game, which is why it is the race with the lowest number of players in Alliance. However, Gnome performs well in terms of skills, including +10 arcane resistance, 5% intelligence improvement, +15 engineering skills and Escape Artist, and the extra one-minute cooldown allows Gnome to get rid of negative effects such as imprisonment or reduced movement speed. Horde Races 1. Orcs If you become an Orc, you can choose one of Hunter, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock and Warrior as your class. In addition, this race has Axe Specialization, which allows you to add skill 5 of one-handed and two-handed axes to yourself, Blood Fury with powerful melee damage, Command, which can increase the damage caused by warlock and hunter pets by 5%, and Hardiness, which can increase the resistance to stun effects by an additional 25%. 2. Tauren This is the only Horde race that can become a Druid in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary, giving you +15 Herbalism skill, 5% increased health, +10 Nature resistance - useful when playing Ahn’Qiraj raid, and a powerful area stun skill War Stomp. 3. Troll This race also has a lot of playable classes, and their racial abilities include 5% extra damage to beasts; 5 additional skills for bows and thrown weapons; Regeneration, which increases health regeneration by 10%, and better Berserking cooldown - giving you an extra 10 seconds of casting and attack speed each. 4. Undead This race can play as Mage, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, or Warrior. The most prominent racial ability is Cannibalize, which allows you to consume corpses over 10 seconds using a channeled spell to restore 35% of your health, which is most useful when you are playing solo. Other racial abilities include +10 shadow resistance, Underwater Breathing, which increases the duration of the breath bar while swimming by 300%, and Will of the Forsaken, which makes you immune to charm, fear, or sleep for five seconds, or break free of these effects if you are already affected by them. That’s it for all the playable races in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary. Thanks for reading.
