News Tag: WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Phase 6

WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Phase 6 is coming soon, and Horde and Alliance players will join forces to fight Lich King's invasion. The highlight of Phase 6 is undoubtedly the newest raid, Naxxramas, which promises to be both the most difficult and the most consumed.

The opening of new raids means more powerful gear. Warriors of Azeroth will need to upgrade their gear to its best condition to face the powerful bosses in the raid, so the auction house will be extremely active. Furthermore, in Phase 6, you'll need WoW Classic 20th Anniversary gold even more than in previous phases.

Why Do You Need Gold?

Naxxramas, the most challenging raid, doesn't have specific gear requirements, but you'll need at least the best gear from Stage 5 to survive. Therefore, many players will probably take gold on items from the auction house.

In addition, there's an entry fee to enter Naxxramas raid, which requires materials and gold. This fee is waived only after reaching Exalted reputation with Argent Dawn.

Entry Fee:

• Honored: 60 gold, 5 Arcane Crystals, 2 Nexus Crystals, and 1 Righteous Orb.
• Revealed: 30 gold, 2 Arcane Crystals, and 1 Nexus Crystal.
• Exalted: No items required.

Players participating in this raid will also need to craft consumables like frost resistance potions, which consume a significant amount of WoW Classic 20th gold. You can either save gold or flip items for a profit later.

Recommended Farming Items

Tier 1

• Nexus Crystals and Arcanite Bars

Since entering Naxxramas requires an entrance fee (unless you're Exalted), and Nexus Crystals are essential, they're also essential for crafting and enchanting Tier 3 sets, so demand for them is expected to surge.

These two items are the most essential hard currency, with rigid demand and direct correlation to dungeon progress, placing them at the top of the list. Nexus Crystals may increase in value by over 200%, while Arcanite Bars may increase by 100%-150%.

Recommended Farming Locations

Arcanite Bars cannot be farmed and can only be converted by an alchemist using Transmute: Arcanite skill, which has a two-day cooldown.

Nexus Crystals can be obtained by players with Enchanting profession by disenchanting epic gear at level 56 and above. (Requires Disenchantment skill)

Tier 2

• Greater Frost Protection Potions, their ingredients, and recipes

Several boss encounters in Naxxramas require large quantities of Greater Frost Protection Potions, so they're sure to be in high demand when Phase 6 opens. In addition to the potion itself, its recipe and ingredients will also be in high demand on the auction house.

Greater Frost Protection Potions' recipes can be dropped by Frost Giants (with a 4% chance), but these locations are already monopolized by a few guilds, so it's not recommended for average players to waste their time farming them.

The primary ingredient needed to craft Greater Frost Protection Potions is Elemental Water. Demand is expected to surge, potentially tripling or even doubling their value on the auction house.

Recommended Farming Locations

The best way to farm Elemental Water is at Cresting Exiles in Arathi Highlands. Simply farming ordinary monsters will drop it, with a drop rate of around 17%, though the number of monsters is relatively small.

Another location on a small island off the northwest coast of Stranglethorn Vale hosts. Farming Lesser Water Elementals here also yields Elemental Water, with a drop rate of approximately 14%. However, the advantage here is that there are more monsters, making it more efficient.

Tier 3

• Greater Shadow Protection Potion and its ingredients and recipes

Because bosses in Naxxramas raid deal shadow damage in addition to cold damage, Greater Shadow Protection Potions are very popular.

Recommended Farming Locations

Greater Shadow Protection Potion recipes drop from Shadow Priests and Shadowcasters in Eastern Plaguelands, with a drop rate of only approximately 1.9%, and it takes about 1.5 hours to get one. Because of the long and inconsistent time required, farming the recipe is not recommended.

You can instead farm Grave Moss and Fadeleaf, the ingredients needed to craft the potion.

Grave Moss primarily appears in the following locations:

• Raven Hill Cemetery (Duskwood)
• Kodo Graveyard (Desolace)
• Ironbeard's Tomb (Wetlands)
• Scarlet Monastery Graveyard
• Stromgarde Keep (Arathi Highlands)

Fadeleaf primarily appears in the following locations:

• Dustwallow Marsh: Often yields the highest amounts of Fadeleaf.
• Stranglethorn Vale & Arathi Highlands: Good alternative locations, though the amount can depend on other players.
• Swamp of Sorrows
• The Hinterlands
• Alterac Mountains
• Badlands
• Razorfen Kraul
• Scarlet Monastery

While the value of these items is not always easy to come by, and the recipes are often worth more, a steady income of WoW 20th Anniversary gold is more important than taking a chance on those high-value items.

Other Key Investment Items

Essence Of Water

Besides being a component of Greater Frost Protection Potion, Essence of Water is also a key ingredient for crafting Frost Resistance equipment.

• Recommended Farming Locations: Felwood (7% drop) or Eastern Plaguelands (6% drop).

Felcloth And Mooncloth

Felcloth and Mooncloth have a wide variety of uses, from backpacks and resistance gear to exchanging for Tier 3 sets.

Both items are also in high demand, but they rank lower because of their high farm volume and current value. While their potential for further appreciation may be smaller than the top items, they remain valuable throughout the game.

• Recommended Farming Locations: Felwood, Azshara, and Dire Maul (Warpwood Quarter). Competition in these areas is fierce.

These are some of the most worthwhile items to farm in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Phase 6. Besides farming, players with a high profession level can also actively craft items, which can also bring in significant profits. Hopefully, this information will help you become a gold tycoon.

Warriors, WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Phase 6 is currently scheduled to release on September 25, 2025. The final phase of Anniversary Server is finally here! With the arrival of Phase 6, the most brutal raid in Vanilla WoW will officially open: Naxxramas!

All hardcore WoW Classic players know how dangerous this raid can be. If you want to survive this PvE event, now is the perfect time to prepare!

Whether you want to be the first in your guild to defeat Kel'Thuzad, or simply want to avoid being crushed by his minions, this guide will help you on your path to conquering Naxxramas. Let's get started!

1. Attunements

To enter Naxxramas, you must first complete Attunement quest, which means you need to be in good standing with Argent Dawn faction.

If you've reached Exalted, entry is completely free. If you've reached Revered, completing Attunement quest is still relatively easy, requiring only two Arcane Crystals, one Nexus Crystal, and 30 WoW 20th Anniversary Gold.

But if you're stuck at Honored stage, you'll need to farm a significant amount of expensive materials to enter. Specifically, you'll need 60 gold, five Arcane Crystals, two Nexus Crystals, and a Righteous Orb.

Please note that if you haven't reached Honored stage yet, you won't be able to enter at all. So, while you're still in Phase 5 and there's still time, start farming Stratholme and Scholomance to prepare the materials.

2. Prepare Materials

As usual, the next big thing we need to do is gather the materials needed for potions and flasks. You'll need some common herbs like Dreamfoil and Black Lotus, but Naxxramas also has some unique requirements.

Most notably, you should start stockpiling Greater Frost Protection Potions for Sapphiron and Greater Shadow Protection Potions for Loatheb. This means you'll need plenty of Elemental Water and Shadow Oil.

So, you should either start exploring Scarlet Monastery Graveyard a few times now or stock up while the materials are relatively cost-effective, as these items will see a significant increase in value after Phase 6 releases.

3. Increase Frost Resistance

Next, we think you need to increase your Frost Resistance before embarking on a Naxxramas raid. You really need it.

In Naxxramas, players will face off against the undead frost wyrm, Sapphiron. To balance this encounter, the developers have provided players with gear with strong Frost Resistance.

Additionally, WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Phase 6 introduces many new crafting patterns. This means you'll need a variety of materials to craft these items, depending on your armor tier.

Needless to say, the value of these items will skyrocket when Phase 6 begins. So, start farming now, or be prepared to invest a significant amount of WoW 20th gold to unlock the final phase.

4. Crafting Class Sets

Similar to Ahn'Qiraj's class sets, Naxxramas Tier 3 Armor Set doesn't drop out of thin air. You'll need tokens earned from bosses and Warorn Scraps from raids.

In addition, crafting this set requires a large number of high-end crafting materials, including Arcanite Bars, Cured Rugged Hide, Arcane Crystals, Nexus Crystals, and Mooncloth. Some classes may require dozens of these materials for a single item.

While the prices of these crafting materials are relatively low now, they're sure to skyrocket once Naxxramas begins. So, stock up on the gear you need now, and consider stocking up on extra gear while you're at it, as you should be able to resell that extra gear later for a ton of WoW 20th Anniversary Gold!

5. Farm Zul'Gurub And AQ20

While waiting for Phase 6 to open, don't forget to run Zul'Gurub and AQ20 every reset. Why?

Two reasons: to pursue Zul'Gurub's Primal Hakkari Idol and the increased spell rank offered by AQ20.

Primal Hakkari Idol can be used on Head and Leg Enchants. The resulting enchants are considered powerful and can keep many classes in top form throughout the game's content cycle.

AQ20 is easier, as the bosses there drop three new spell rank books for each class, boosting the effectiveness of your key skills.

Both raids have short lockout periods, so you can run them multiple times a week until you've collected all the items you need. So, while you wait for Naxxramas to open, start gathering all your items now.

6. Tank Tips

Now, a quick tip for all you warriors out there: start farming your tank set as soon as possible, and make sure to get Nat Pagle's Broken Reel from Gahz'ranka in Zul'Gurub as soon as possible.

This is because Four Horseman encounter in Naxxramas raid requires eight tanks, and every warrior needs to be able to step up and kill the boss when needed, and having a consistent taunt is crucial. The more prepared you are, the better your chances of beating the final encounter in Military Wing of Naxxramas.

7. Learn The Boss Guides

Finally, if you're not already a seasoned player, start studying Naxxramas boss fights.

Now, as the final tier in vanilla WoW, the boss fights that follow are no joke. The mechanics are much more complex, and some bosses can wipe out your team with just one mistake. So, do yourself a favor and start studying the relevant boss guides as soon as possible.

Regardless, you should start preparing for Naxxramas raid now. From stocking up on consumables, to increasing your gear's resistances, to studying boss guides, every bit of preparation you do now will make your journey into Phase 6 easier and give you a better chance of victory!
