General News

It's been over a month since the release of WoW MoP Classic Phase 2 on September 23rd. Due to the limited content of Phase 2, players have been bored, and many have left.

The player community is impatient for Phase 3, Throne of Thunder, with many urging for its release. Recently, the official announcement of Throne of Thunder PTR was released, potentially indicating that Phase 3 is imminent.

Announcement Content And Phase 3 Release Date Prediction

In the recently released announcement, the official team announced that Throne of Thunder Raids will be tested during the following periods:

• Raid test 1 – November 4-6
• Raid test 2 – November 14-17

Meanwhile, according to a leak from the well-known source Algalon the Observer on X, World of Warcraft Classic PTR server has just been updated with a new version.

The version number has been updated from 5.5.1 (the prequel to Siege of Orgrimmar, usually referring to the Battle of Pandaria) to 5.5.2. Version 5.5.2 corresponds to the major content patch Throne of Thunder, part of 5.2.0 (the 2013 patch).

Similar minor PTR updates (from 5.5.1 to 5.5.2) appeared before the official release of WoW MoP Classic Phase 2 Landfall patch, suggesting that Throne of Thunder might be coming soon!

Release Date Prediction

Since the PTR testing lasts approximately two weeks, and a release during Thanksgiving week (the third week of November) is highly unlikely, the predicted release dates for Phase 3 PTR are as follows:

• November 18th: A slightly accelerated but possible date.
• December 2nd or 4th: A date more in line with the regular release cycle.

The first phase was a pretty good start, but the second phase was relatively dull in comparison, which is why players are so eager for the third phase. Throne of Thunder is one of the most acclaimed raids in World of Warcraft history, but it's also extremely difficult. Many of the first raiders to clear it have vivid memories of it; almost every boss in the raid has a very interesting mechanic.

To successfully complete this raid, your gear needs to be at least BiS (or near-BiS) level for the current version. You'll also need to prepare potions, elixirs, and some first-aid items to boost your stats.

If you want to earn some WoW MoP Classic gold before the start of the third phase, you can craft these items in advance, and their value will definitely increase after the third phase begins.

How To Unlock Throne Of Thunder Raid?

In the original game, players contributed progress by completing quest chains and daily quests on the Isle of Thunder to unlock the raid. This process will be very fast on the current highly centralized servers, as Sunwell only takes two days to unlock on a mega server.

While the specific unlocking method is still unclear, and a server-wide cooperative unlocking mechanism is no longer unusual, retaining this mechanism is a cool experience. Furthermore, since the servers are now integrated, there won't be any issues with smaller servers being unable to complete the process.

Aspects For Improvement In Phase 3

Thunderforged

However, Phase 3 includes a controversial system, Thunderforged, which is the precursor to the later Warforge and Titanforge systems. It's a rare quality item dropped in Throne of Thunder raid, with an item level 6 levels higher than its regular counterpart.

However, players don't really like it, mainly because this disparity can lead to conflict and hostility among hardcore players and raid groups. This is especially true for efficiency-driven guilds, causing unnecessary competition and dissatisfaction. Furthermore, the already complex loot pool from each boss makes each item essentially two versions.

Retaining this system intact might negatively impact the game. If the developers decide to modify it, they could choose to remove it entirely, eliminate randomness and allow all drops to directly upgrade, or allow players to use Justice Points or Valor Points for consistent upgrades.

Flex Raiding

Given the high difficulty of Throne of Thunder, introducing a flexible raid system might be better, allowing raids to be limited to a certain number of players, such as 20-30. Raid difficulty will be dynamically adjusted based on the actual number of players, rather than randomly matching you with another player.

This is because anyone who has experienced high-difficulty raids in MMOs knows that these raids contain many instant-death attacks, requiring players to cooperate and follow commands to successfully navigate the most difficult mechanics of each phase. If any player cannot communicate, it could be a wipe, and forcing it might just be a waste of consumables and WoW MoP Classic gold.

If raid difficulty is dynamically adjusted based on the number of players, the difficulty of forming a group will be significantly reduced.

The above is a general overview of the third phase of Mists of Pandaria Classic and Throne of Thunder. The third phase may be coming soon, but it's likely still a month away from official release, so prepare your best weapons and armor and wait patiently.

Halloween 2025 is almost here! Every year at this time, not only is life filled with various Halloween activities and elements, but most games also host in-game celebrations or offer Halloween-themed rewards.

As an MMORPG with over 20 years of existence, World of Warcraft has its own dedicated Hallow's End, available in both the base game and its expansions.

WoW MoP Classic launched in July of this year, and Phase 2 is currently underway. Its Hallow's End officially began on October 18th! Below, we'll explain how to participate in Halloween events on this Eastern-themed server.

Hallow's End In MoP Classic Overview

This event will run until November 1st, the day after Halloween in the real world. During this time, you can participate in various fun activities or defeat the event-exclusive boss, Headless Horseman, in Scarlet Monastery to win rewards.

Participate In Daily Events To Collect Items

During Hallow's End, you can explore various zones and kill enemies to collect loot. For example, monsters above level 60 will drop an 18-slot Jack-o'-lantern, while monsters at level 50 will drop a 16-slot Pumpkin Bag.

In addition, candy buckets are hidden at inns in Azeroth and Outland. Finding these will grant a Handful of Treats. Alternatively, you may find open apple barrels floating on the pools in an inn. Clicking on the pools instantly grants you 5 Bobbing Apples.

These special apples restore health over 24 seconds when consumed. Consuming them for at least 10 seconds even grants stamina and spirit buffs. Therefore, we recommend saving these apples for Hallow's End boss fight.

Putting Out Fires Questline

This event questline involves the boss, Headless Horseman. He rides his horse through six villages in Azeroth, dropping flaming pumpkins and setting them on fire. Help the villagers put out the fires and save the villages to receive a reward.

Quest 1

The first mission will differ depending on your faction. Alliance players will receive Fire Brigade Practice, while Horde players will receive Fire Training.

To complete this mission, you must follow the mission instructions to find five burning scarecrows and use the nearby buckets of water to put out their flames. Here are the steps:

• 1. Right-click the bucket, fill it with water, and place it in your inventory.
• 2. Right-click the filled bucket, aim the aiming circle at the burning scarecrows, and click to release.
• 3. After extinguishing all the scarecrows, return to claim your reward.

Quest 2

This mission will differ depending on whether the village you arrive at is already on fire. If not, you'll need to receive the quest "Let the Fires Come!"; if flames are already raging, you'll need to receive "Stop the Fires!".

Both missions require you to use your existing firefighting skills to help the villagers put out the fires. Afterward, Shade of the Horseman will appear. You'll need to kill him, causing a giant pumpkin to appear. Click the pumpkin to receive the following rewards:

• Weighted Jack-o'-Lantern
• Rickety Magic Broom
• Folded Letter
• Handful of Treats
• Wands, masks, and/or a few more Tricky Treats

Hallow's End Orphan Treats Questline

This questline has nothing to do with the boss. Instead, you'll run around collecting candy from relevant NPCs in various towns and distribute it to the orphans.

Each collection corresponds to a quest. Completing each quest increases your faction's reputation with their main city by 250 points and rewards you with 30 Hallow's End Pumpkin Treats. The quests are as follows:

Alliance - Hallow's End Treats for Jesper!:

• Flexing for Nougat - Innkeeper Allison - /Ways 53-66.
• Chicken Clucking for a Mint - Innkeeper Firebrew - /Ways 18-51.
• Incoming Gumdrop - Talvash del Kissel - /Ways 36-4.
• Dancing for Marzipan - Innkeeper Saelienne - /Ways 67-16.

Horde - Hallow's End Treats for Spoops!:

• Flexing for Nougat - Innkeeper Gryshka - /Ways 54-68.
• Incoming Gumdrop - Kali Remik - /Ways 56-74.
• Chicken Clucking for a Mint - Innkeeper Norman - /Ways 68-39.
• Dancing for Marzipan - Innkeeper Pala - /Ways 46-65.

How To Defeat The Final Boss Of This Event?

Headless Horseman boss encounter has three phases, and he regenerates his health before each phase, so the entire fight can take quite a while.

To ensure you can defeat the boss battle in one go, we recommend entering with a group and redeem enough consumables, such as potions, flasks, or food, through WoW MoP Classic gold beforehand.

Phase 1

The first half of this phase is straightforward: attack the boss until his health reaches 1%. He'll then throw his head, and his body will begin to regenerate, but you'll want to focus all your firepower on the head.

When the head's health reaches approximately 60%, or the boss's torso reaches 100%, the head and body will connect, triggering Phase 2.

Phase 2

This phase is completed similarly to Phase 1, with the only caveat being that the boss will cast Conflagrate on a random player. Phase 3 begins when the boss's head's health reaches 30%, or the body reaches 100%.

Phase 3

During this phase, Headless Horseman will spawn four Pumpkin Fiends in the arena every 30 seconds for you to pick up. These provide additional loot.

When the boss's health is reduced to 1% through attacks, its head will fly out again. Destroy the head completely to end the battle.

Note that if you don't destroy the head before the boss body's health reaches 100% during Phase 3, this phase will repeat until you do.

Boss Battle Rewards

Rewards are divided into two parts, provided by Pumpkin Fiends and Headless Horseman. Details are as follows:

Pumpkin Fiend Rewards:

• The Horseman's Horrific Hood
• The Horseman's Sinister Slicer
• Hallowed Helm
• Sinister Squashling
• Magic Broom
• Swift Magic Broom
• The Horseman's Reins

Boss Rewards:

• Seal of Ghoulish Glee
• Band of the Petrified Pumpkin
• The Horseman's Ring
• Wicked Witch's Signet
• Weighted Jack-o'-Lantern

The above is the core of this event. There are actually more detailed quests and achievements to complete. If you're short on time or just want to complete the key quests, our guide should be sufficient!

WoW MoP Classic Phase 2 launched on September 23rd. While Phase 2 might seem underwhelming compared to the numerous raids and activities during Phase 1, it still includes some worthwhile quests, such as Landfall Campaign.

While most of the quests in this campaign take place in PvP-style locations, you'll need to complete them alongside NPCs, so you won't have to worry about difficulty or interference from other players.

The only caveat is that Landfall Campaign is strongly faction-specific, meaning that both the method for unlocking the campaign and the rewards available depend on whether you're from Alliance or Horde.

Below, we'll provide different strategies for completing Landfall Campaign, categorized by faction.

Completing Landfall Campaign - Alliance

Completing Landfall Campaign as soon as possible is recommended, not only because of the new gear you'll receive, but also because it allows you to unlock Pandaria Campaign and the next chapter of your Legendary quest chain.

How To Unlock The Campaign?

Whether you're Alliance or Horde, you must complete a series of prerequisite quests to unlock Landfall Campaign. Below are Alliance-specific quests and the relevant NPCs.

• Meet the Scout: Lyalia, Scout Lynna
• A King Among Men: Marshal Troteman, Hilda Hornswaggle
• Lion's Landing

The final quest requires you to travel to Krasarang Cove and use a flare launcher to signal Alliance fleet, which will then allow you to begin the next step in the campaign.

Note that this also unlocks the ability to earn reputation points for Operation: Shieldwall. As you progress through Landfall Campaign, you'll earn some reputation points, which you can then continue farming to earn reputation level rewards.

How To Complete The Campaign?

Before beginning Landfall Campaign, you must first find and kill three Rares within your faction's camp. This will earn you 500 reputation points with The Black Prince and the faction-exclusive "I'm In Your Base, Killing Your Dudes" reward.

If you're Alliance, the three Rares and their coordinates are:

• Champion of Arms: Kar Warmaker - Domination Point's East entrance. (/way 13.4 54.8)
• Champion of the Light: Muerta - The left of the inner fortress. (/way 9.6 54.6)
• Champion of the Shadows: Ubunti the Shade - Domination Point Tower. (/way 13.2 66.0)

Rewards for killing them include:

• Blood-Soaked Invitation
• Alliance Insignia of Conquering
• SI:7 Operative's Manual
• Steadfast Footman's Medallion

What Quests Are Required To Complete?

To be honest, completing Landfall Campaign is a lengthy process, as it involves many quests and is tied to your Operation: Shieldwall reputation level. New Landfall Campaign quests unlock at specific reputation levels.

It's important to note that each specific Landfall Campaign task actually includes multiple steps. To save you time, we've listed them below.

• The Man With a Thousand Faces (950 Friendly)
• The Voice of the Gods (4900 Friendly)
• Jaina's Hope (2850 Honored)
• The Korune (6800 Honored)
• Heart of the Alliance (10750 Honored)
• Secrets of the Past (2700 Revered)
• The Divine Bell (6650 Revered)
• The Purge of Dalaran (before 8600 Revered)
• An Ancient Ally (before 14540 Revered)
• In Search of Harmony (before 18500 Revered)
• Breath of Darkest Shadow (Exalted)

Completing Landfall Campaign - Horde

If you are a member of Horde, you will need to complete the following quests to unlock the campaign:

• Meet the Scout: Sunwalker Dezco, Scout Rokla.
• The Might of the Warchief: Blood Guard Gro'tash, Grizzle Gearslip.
• Domination Point: Light a signal fire on the beach at Horde landing point to signal Horde fleet.

The new faction for earning reputation with Horde is Dominance Offensive, centered around Krasarang Wilds. You can increase your reputation by completing Landfall Campaign and daily reputation quests.

Where Are The Killable Rares?

For Horde players, in addition to The Black Prince reputation, "I'm In Your Base, Killing Your Dudes" rewards for killing three Rares include:

• Blood-Soaked Invitation
• Horde Insignia of Conquering
• Kor'kron Book of Hurting
• Mark of the Hardened Grunt

For specific Rares coordinates, please refer to the following:

• Champion of Arms: Dalan Nightbreaker - Lion's Landing beach. (/way 85.0 27.6)
• Champion of the Light: Disha Fearwarden - One tent inside the fortress. (/way 87.4 29.2)
• Champion of the Shadows: Mavis Harms - On the docks. (/way 84.6 31.0)

Horde Landfall Campaign Quests

Like Alliance, Horde Landfall Campaign quests unlocked are tied to reputation with the new Dominance Offensive faction. These quests include:

• The Voice of the Gods (950 Friendly)
• The Horde Is Family (4900 Friendly)
• Blood For Blood (2850 Honored)
• The Korune (6800 Honored)
• Pride (10750 Honored)
• Rise of the Blood Elves (2700 Revered)
• Secrets of the Past (6650 Revered)
• The Divine Bell (before 8600 Revered)
• The Darnassus Operation (before 14540 Revered)
• The Purge of Dalaran (before 18500 Revered)
• Breath of Darkest Shadow (Exalted)

Whether you're from Horde or Alliance, with completing Landfall Campaign, will have maximized your reputation with your new faction, and help you earn the associated reputation rewards and achievements.

It's worth noting that Operation: Shieldwall is essentially a counterpoint to Dominance Offensive, so you can engage in PvP combat against members of the opposing faction within Krasarang Wilds to earn additional rewards.

This concludes the main guide for completing Landfall Campaign in WoW MoP Classic for each faction. This is a long-term campaign, so take your time and enjoy the game!

Completing quests in Landfall Campaign may require you to collect and submit specific materials. While these materials can be obtained through foraging or combat drops, farming them can be quite tedious.

To save time and complete the campaign quickly, you can buy cheap WoW MoP Classic gold on IGGM and then use that gold to buy the materials you need to complete the quests faster!

While WoW MoP Classic Phase 2 doesn't add new raids, Krasarang Wilds Campaign and Brawler's Guild remain challenging. Therefore, choosing a specific build is crucial to maximize your advantage in this new phase.

If you're out of ideas, our Shadow Priest build guide is here to help.

Why did we choose Shadow Priest to kick off MoP Classic Phase 2? It's because of their powerful sustained damage, excellent multi-target abilities, a more cohesive gameplay loop thanks to the improved Shadow Orbs system, and the damage and healing buffs from the Twist of Fate talent.

These mechanics work together to allow Shadow Priest to deal sustained damage to multiple enemies. Combined with their high survivability and utility, they're a top-tier class in the later stages of Mists of Pandaria Classic.

Talents

As for Talent system, Shadow Priest's versatility allows us to tailor it to the type of content we're playing, whether it's daily quests, PvP, or raids, especially when more mobility or specific defensive or offensive support is needed.

Tier 1

• Void Tendrils: A powerful choice for pulling multiple targets, as it roots them while allowing you to continue dealing damage while moving.
• Dominate Mind: Controls the target's mind, temporarily placing them under Yogg-Saron's control and reducing their Sanity by 4%. This can be used to control adds in specific situations.

Tier 2

• Angelic Feather: A very powerful movement speed boost option, providing excellent positioning flexibility.
• Body and Soul: Significantly increases the movement speed of the target of a Power Word: Shield or Leap of Faith for a period of time. Once cast on a target, this talent grants them a 60% movement speed bonus for 4 seconds, making it very useful for quickly evading or repositioning.
• Phantasm: Provides a movement speed boost after using Fade, making it very useful in certain encounters.

Tier 3

• Solace and Insanity: Often the best choice for increased damage, as it significantly boosts your Mind Flay's damage while Devouring Plague is active.
• From Darkness, Comes Light: A viable alternative to Mind Spike's instant trigger, effectively increasing burst damage.
• Mindbender: A good mana regeneration option after your Shadowfiend is enhanced.

Tier 4

• Angelic Bulwark: A powerful passive defensive ability that can save you when your health drops below 30%.
• Desperate Prayer: An active defensive ability that provides healing, useful when you need more burst healing.

Tier 5

• Twist of Fate: A great choice for a Tier 5 talent, providing a significant damage and healing boost, primarily refreshed by spot-killing low-health targets.
• Divine Insight: This makes the next Mind Blast active immediately after Shadow Word: Pain triggers, costing no mana. This talent is highly competitive in high-mobility fights where mana management and maximum damage are crucial.
• Power Infusion: This skill is more suited for supporting other players and tends to fall short of Twist of Fate for individual DPS.

Tier 6

• Halo: A default choice for most fights, providing decent damage and a short cooldown.
• Divine Star: A powerful alternative with a short cooldown, instant cast time, and immunity to Shadow Lock.
• Cascade: Ideal for maximizing area pressure in certain comps.

Attribute Prioritization

For Shadow Priests in MoP Classic WoW, prioritizing gear with higher Intellect stats is optimal, followed by Hit, Spirit, and Expertise to reach the 15% hit cap. Haste, Mastery, and finally Critical Strike are crucial.

• Intellect: This is the primary stat for Shadow Priest, so try to choose gear with the highest item level to boost it.
• Hit/Spirit/Expertise: Aim for a total hit chance of 15% to cap your hit rating. However, note that once you exceed this cap, the benefits provided by these stats diminish.
• Haste: This increases your casting speed and the frequency of DoT spells.
• Mastery: Gives your periodic shadow damage spells a chance to deal bonus damage.
• Critical Strike: Increases the critical strike chance of your spells and damage over time effects, and summons Shadowy Apparitions when Shadow Word: Pain triggers a critical strike.

BiS Gear Setup

Shadow Priest's BiS gear choices vary by stage. If you have plenty of WoW MoP Classic Gold, aim for Korven's Amber-Sealed Beetle and Guardian Serpent Shoulderguards from Terrace of Endless Spring Raid. You can also consider using August Stone Fragments from Celestial Dungeons as pre-raid BiS gear.

Note that your attribute weights will change as you acquire new gear, so it's best to use a gear simulator to find the best options for your character before equipping them.

Here are our recommended items. For the rest, you can choose your own items based on your playstyle and the type of content you're looking to play:

• Neck: Korven's Amber-Sealed Beetle
• Shoulders: Guardian Serpent Shoulderguards
• Cloak: Cloak of Overwhelming Corruption
• Chest: Guardian Serpent Raiment
• Waist: Belt of Malleable Amber
• Legs: Dreadwoven Leggings of Failure
• Trinkets: Relic of Yu'lon

That's it for the complete guide to Shadow Priest in WoW Classic's Mists of Pandaria Phase 2. While it's slightly inferior in single-target damage and may require more gear to be truly competitive in high-end raids, Shadow Priest is still a solid choice for players who enjoy a dynamic and complex playstyle.

If you really want to collect all the equipment as quickly as possible and build the most powerful Shadow Priest, then this will definitely test your funds. However, you can check out cheap IGGM WoW Classic MoP gold for sale page, where there is enough safe gold to meet your needs immediately!

With the launch of Phase 2, Brawlers Guild was finally added to the game. Brawlers Guild was once a popular feature, primarily focused on solo PvE, where players repeatedly challenged bosses, akin to a boss rush.

While not a group raid, Brawlers Guild was nonetheless quite challenging, requiring players to adapt to unique and often deadly boss mechanics, and its complexity increased with increasing levels. While lower levels might be manageable with just a good item level, reaching the highest levels can be a significant challenge.

How To Access Brawlers Guild?

Players seeking access to Brawlers Guild need to obtain a Blood-Soaked Invitation first. Currently, there are two ways to obtain it, while there is another way to enter Brawlers Guild directly:

• 1. Dropped by elite wild monsters, especially rare monsters associated with Krasarang Wilds, which have a chance to drop an Invitation.
• 2. Black Market Auction House sometimes lists invitations with a starting valule of 1,000 WoW MoP Classic gold, so you may need to prepare more.
• 3. In addition to receiving a Blood-Soaked Invitation, you can also enter Brawlers Guild through invitations from other players. After reaching Rank 7, other players will receive a Brawler's Pass, which they can then transfer to you.

Regardless of how you gain access to Brawlers Guild, your other accounts will automatically be eligible.

Brawlers Guild Entrance

The entrance to Brawlers Guild is different for Alliance and Horde players:

Locations vary by faction:

• Horde: The entrance is in Brawl'gar Arena in Orgrimmar, north of Valley of Honor.
• Alliance: The entrance is at Bizmo's Brawlpub in Stormwind, on the lower level of Deeprun Tram.

Brawlers Guild Bosses

Brawlers Guild has seven ranks and 28 bosses. As you rank up, the enemies become increasingly difficult. So, if you want to challenge higher levels, you'll need to adjust your gear and spend some Mists of Pandaria Classic gold at Auction House to prepare potions and items based on the boss's damage.

Rank 1

Bruce

The most threatening skill is Chomp Chomp. It deals high damage within melee range, but it has a 1.5s cast time, so be mindful of its cast bar.

Vian The Volatile

A flaming area will appear on the field, gradually taking up the combat space. Focus all your skills on it from the start; you won't be able to prolong the fight.

Goredome

It will cast Lumbering Charge, which appears as a red circle within its damage range. Keep moving and quickly escape once you see the circle appear. Melee fighters should also be aware of their changing positions.

Dungeon Master Vishas

This boss's Hot Poker buff grants him extremely high damage. You can kite him with abilities like slow or crowd control (he can be stunned).

Rank 2

Dippy

Dippy has a one-hit-kill magic attack, but he struggles to maintain stability on the ground. You can interrupt his abilities with instant/auto attacks, but avoid cornering him, as this may cause him to use his magic.

Kirrawk

Kirrawk will summon tornadoes to throw you up or disrupt your position. You'll need to dodge these tornadoes to maintain the tempo of the fight, and adjust your position when dodging.

Fran And Riddoh

Fran will throw mines everywhere, while Riddoh will trap you with a net. If Fran dies, Riddoh will go berserk, dealing +250% damage. Fran will also throw explosives more frequently after Riddoh dies.

It's best to maintain a healthy balance between the two bosses, avoid destroying one too quickly, and avoid bombs.

King Kulaka

King Kulaka's melee attacks deal considerable damage. Ranged classes can kite him continuously, while melee classes should use defensive skills to stall and spread out their attacks.

Rank 3

Blat

Blat creates multiple clones. While these clones don't deal much damage, they can be disruptive. The real one usually moves faster or has quicker skill responsiveness. Focus your fire on the real one while slowing down the other clones.

Sanoriak

Sanoriak has abilities like Flame Buffet (which stacks flames) and Firewall. Prioritize interrupting Flame Buffet, as Firewall usually leaves a safe gap.

Ixx

The only skill you need to avoid is Devastating Thrust. Avoid standing in front of it; quickly move past or around to the side and back while it's casting. This may cause splash damage, but you can use potions.

Mazhareen

As Mazhareen's health decreases, its attack power, and frequency may increase. Therefore, conserve your abilities until it reaches low health, then burst out as quickly as possible to instantly kill it.

Rank 4

Crush

Crush has a charge and stun (which also stuns itself), with a brief period of increased damage. Predict the direction of the charge and dodge, then use the short stun period to deal damage.

Leona Earthwind

Leona Earthwind's Earthling Seed summons minions, while Solar Beam silences you. Both are tricky abilities. You'll need to be quick to kill minions and avoid Solar Beam, looking for openings.

Dominika The Illusionist

Dominika the Illusionist will constantly split and create illusions. Use AoE skills to prioritize killing the illusions, then simultaneously focus on the real one.

Deeken

Deeken's primary skill is Electric Bubble, which creates a static field. As long as you can avoid it, you can easily squeeze it.

Rank 5

Millie Watt

This boss has some mechanics to be aware of. Her explosives also create a static field, and when she uses Megafantastic Discombobumorphanator, it stuns you for 15 seconds, but it dissipates after you take damage. So when she uses this skill, actively enter the field and take some damage to avoid being disabled.

Fjoll

Fjoll's field generates purple flames and can push you into danger. You need to be mindful of your positioning and utilize your movement skills.

Proboskus

Proboskus's damage is high, but it's not difficult to deal with. Torrent (a channeled skill) can be interrupted, and Rain Dance can be avoided by moving.

Fleasy / Greazy / Queasy / Sleezy / Wheezy

Okay, this is a small siege. Five gnomes will attack you simultaneously, and you need to reduce them quickly, so start with Queasy, who has the lowest health. These gnomes will stack damage on you, so you need to keep your distance for 5 seconds to reduce the stacks.

Rank 6

Akama

Akama will summon adds and unleash abilities like Chain Lightning and Shadow Strikes. Shadow Strikes provide powerful buffs, so interrupt them. If you don't, avoid her subsequent attacks.

Unguloxx

Keep your kiting to avoid high melee damage. Use stun or self-protection skills when necessary to stall. Balance defense and damage within the tight enrage timer.

Yikkan Izu

Prioritize clearing the first wave of Ravens while interrupting Disorienting Shriek, or you'll almost certainly die. While controlling the adds, maintain consistent damage on the boss.

Smash Hoofstomp

First, kill two Goblins to reach 100% damage amplification, then move behind them to deal damage when they cast Shield Wall.

Rank 7

Bo Bobble & Max Megablast

Stay close to Bo Bobble and use Max Megablast (red circle) to guide and hit Bo. Repeat until the shared health bar is depleted.

Dark Summoner

Use the overhead light to pin down the ghosts and quickly kill them. Then attack the boss. Repeat until the boss is down, taking care not to be instantly killed by Ghosts.

Battletron

Go all out when it summons Mines (a free damage window). If you can detonate the mines, you can force it to re-summon. Overall, it's a tight DPS check with a 2-minute enrage.

Meatball

Hiting the boss will drop Orbs. Collect them until you reach 40 stacks of the buff (400% damage), then initiate a burst and kill it before the 1-minute enrage.

Completing the 28 boss battles will prove you're a great warrior, and while these battles won't directly reward you with MoP Classic Gold, rewards like The Brassiest Knuckle, The Brassiest Knuckle, and Brawler's Burly Mushan Beast are clearly more valuable.

Besides the constant dangers and battles of World of Warcraft, there's also joy and good brews. From September 20th to October 6th, Horde and Alliance will host Brewfests!

Warriors from each faction can enjoy delicious food and brews while collecting new trinkets and mounts. By completing quests, you'll also earn tokens that can be redeemed for rewards.

Horde and Alliance factions will host Brewfest camps outside Gates of Orgrimmar and Gates of Ironforge, respectively.

Are Brewfest Trinkets Worth Exchanging?

MoP Classic Phase 2 doesn't offer any new raids. Its updates are primarily geared towards catching up on gear, and Brewfest rewards are no exception. If your gear is already top-tier, these trinkets won't be very useful. Let's take a look at the trinkets.

Mithril Wristwatch

Mithril Wristwatch's primary stat is critical strike, which is excellent for classes like Mistweaver Monks and Discipline Priests.

It grants a 10% chance to trigger approximately 6500 spell power when you cast a harmful spell, lasting 10 seconds with a 55-second internal cooldown.

The advantage is that it triggers spell power, which typically has a higher value budget than secondary stats like haste and critical strike, making this trinket slightly overpowered in terms of stats.

However, its triggering mechanic relies on dealing damage, which can be very inconsistent for healers who don't frequently use damaging skills (such as Holy Paladins and Holy Priests). It's best suited for Discipline Priests.

Thousand-Year Pickled Egg

Thousand-Year Pickled Egg's primary stat is Intelligence, and its effect is that using healing or heal-over-time spells has a 10% chance to trigger approximately 6500 Haste for 10 seconds, with an ICD of 55 seconds. This triggering mechanic is healer-friendly, and the 55-second ICD is more flexible than some trinkets with a 2-minute ICD.

Which Classes Need These Trinkets?

Holy Paladin

Both trinkets are average for Holy Paladins. The critical strike provided by Mithril Wristwatch is good, but Holy Paladins struggle to consistently trigger its damage condition. The haste provided by Thousand-Year Pickled Egg is even less valuable.

In normal Hellscream's Vigil (SoO), Raidfinder trinkets (such as Spirits of the Sun) and Relic of Chi-Ji are better and more consistent choices.

Discipline Priest

As mentioned above, Mithril Wristwatch is quite good because Discipline Priests frequently deal damage and can consistently proc. Its value is higher than many common/Raidfinder-tier SoO trinkets.

Thousand-Year Pickled Egg, however, is useless for Discipline Priests.

While Mithril Wristwatch is usable, it's still inferior to top-tier trinkets like Zen Alchemist Stone and Relic of Yu'lon. If you already have these, there's no need to pursue it specifically.

Holy Priest

Neither of these trinkets is ideal for Holy Priests. It's still recommended to stick with SoO Raidfinder trinkets, Zen Alchemist Stone, and Relic of Chi-Ji.

Restoration Druid

The egg trinket's haste doesn't provide benefits for Rejuvenation, making it of little value. While Mithril Wristwatch's proc chance is reasonable, it's still not as good as the top-tier SoO trinket. Furthermore, Restoration Druids don't deal damage often, making coverage a concern. SoO trinket and Relic of Chi-Ji are still recommended, as their procs are also inconsistent for Restoration Druids.

Mistweaver Monk

Critical strike is Mithril Wristwatch's core stat, making it a good match for Mistweaver Monk. However, Mithril Wristwatch's proc issues are similar to Relic of Yu'lon's—it relies on abilities like Rushing Jade Wind and Summon Jade Serpent Statue to trigger, resulting in a 10% chance of inconsistent coverage, requiring careful management and a poor user experience.

Restoration Shaman

Both trinkets are very useful for Restoration Shaman. First up, Thousand-Year Pickled Egg. Haste is an excellent stat for Restoration Shamans, and its triggering mechanism perfectly complements it, making it a great alternative to Essence of Terror.

Mithril Wristwatch also has decent critical strike, and Restoration Shamans will frequently use Telluric Currents talent to deal damage, making it a relatively reliable trigger.

If you have a Restoration Shaman alt, you can farm for Brewfest. If you don't want to spend MoP Classic gold on Relic of Chi-Ji, you can even equip two Brewfest trinkets, as they're powerful enough to enter Normal difficulty raids.

That's a rough outline of Brewfest event. It's a relatively casual event, perfect for those who enjoy collecting trinkets, completing achievements, or are Restoration Shaman players whose gear isn't quite up to par yet.

Patch 5.5.1 of Mists of Pandaria Classic Phase 2 has been announced, titled Landfall, and will be released on September 23rd. While this isn't a major update compared to Phase 1, with no new raids, it does include some noteworthy new content, including the new Brawler's Guild and the upcoming PvP activities and quests in Krasarang Wilds Campaign.

Since the game's release, there hasn't been much PvP activity on MoP Classic servers, which has been a bummer. However, Phase 2's PvP updates and full cross-server support for Group Finder make participating in PvP easier than ever.

Additionally, level 496 items can now be obtained through the new faction in Krasarang Wilds PvP zone. Landfall also introduces PvE and PvP gear upgrades, allowing you to upgrade your favorite gear by spending Justice Points. This means you can craft epic gear that's perfect for your build without investing tons of WoW MoP Classic gold!

So, here we want to talk about gear upgrades in WoW MoP Classic Phase 2, which is clearly one of the fastest ways to boost your character's damage after the update.

PvP & PvE Gear Upgrades

If you've acquired PvE gear using Valor Points in dungeons and raids, you can upgrade it using Justice Points. However, if you own PvP gear, you can only upgrade it using Honor Points.

Both PvE and PvP items can be upgraded by 8 item levels. PvE items are upgraded in two steps, each increasing by 4 item levels. Each item level increase counts as a 1% power increase, so each item actually increases its power by 8% in total.

Points Required For Upgrades

So, let's talk about the actual number of points you need to upgrade.

PvE Gear

Each upgrade for Epic PvE items requires 1,000 Justice Points, meaning if you have 16 slots total, or if you're a Warrior with a two-handed weapon and 15 slots, you'll need at least 32,000 or 30,000 Justice Points, respectively, to fully upgrade each item.

But the problem is, you can only have 4,000 Justice Points at a time. So, what's the best way to solve this problem?

Actually, there's a new exchange method where you can convert 125 Valor Points into 500 Justice Points, a 4:1 exchange rate. This means that for every Valor Point you earn, you'll receive 4 Justice Points.

So, if you've already accumulated 4,000 Justice Points before WoW MoP Classic Phase 2, you only need to have 7,000 Valor Points to fully upgrade your gear. This can be easily accomplished by using this new redemption method to convert them into Justice Points.

You can obtain a Commendation of Justice from Commander Oxheart in Siege of Niuzao Temple for 125 Valor Points, which grants you 500 Justice Points.

So on September 23rd, you can go to this vendor, spend your 7,000 Valor Points to acquire all Commendations, and then travel to the item upgrader next to Reforger in Shrine to upgrade your gear.

Just be careful not to exceed the redemption limit, as this will waste your hard-earned Valor Points.

PvP Gear

However, there's a slight difference with PvP gear. In patch 5.5.1, epic PvP gear will no longer be upgradeable because of concerns about disruptive mid-season upgrades and an attempt to balance player gear upgrade pressure. However, this adjustment only applies to epic PvP gear.

Rare PvP gear can be upgraded once, in increments of 8 item levels, from 457 to 465, at a cost of 1,000 Honor Points.

Assuming you have 12 slots, you'll need to spend at least 12,000 Honor Points to upgrade this piece of PvP gear to the highest item level.

Alternatively, you can obtain a Commendation of Honor from Commander Oxheart vendor for 125 Conquest Points. This converts 125 Conquest Points into 500 Honor Points, a 4:1 exchange rate.

Since our weekly Honor Points cap is also 4,000, this means we'll need 2,000 Conquest Points on top of that to upgrade our rare PvP gear.

How To Earn Valor Points And Conquest Points?

Earning Valor Points is actually quite easy, as we still have three resets worth of Valor Points before the patch.

So, even if you've used up all your Valor Points, you can still accumulate 4,800 Valor Points before Phase 2. Add to that the 1,600 Valor Points you'll earn after the patch cap increases, and you'll have 6,400 Valor Points by the time the patch releases.

If you've already spent a lot of Valor Points on your alts, don't worry; you can quickly catch up and get all the gear upgrades you want.

To earn enough Conquest Points before Phase 2 begins, you can earn them by participating in Arena and Rated Battlegrounds events in MoP Classic WoW, winning daily Random Battlegrounds, completing weekly PvP quests in Adventurer's Journal, and participating in Battleground Blitz events.

Notably, victories in Arena and Rated Battlegrounds will also reward you with more Conquest Points and help increase your weekly Conquest limit.

That's everything you need to know about upgrading items in WoW Classic Mists of Pandaria Phase 2. This is a great opportunity to boost your character's potential, so hurry up and collect these special points to help your warrior dominate Azeroth!

As you know, all classes in WoW MoP Classic can be divided into three roles: DPS, Tank, and Healer, based on their specific roles in combat. Only when each role performs well in its own role and cooperates well with others can victory rates be maximized.

Therefore, no matter what role you play in combat, you'll want to choose a powerful class that best suits that role. This will ensure your character has strong abilities from the start.

It's important to note that most dungeons and raids in Mists of Pandaria Classic are divided into normal, challenge, or heroic modes. These differ in difficulty, so the optimal class for each role will vary accordingly.

This article will use the tank class as an example to introduce the class tier ranking for playing that role in challenge mode.

What Is The Basis For Categorizing Tank Class Tiers?

Before looking at the specific tank class rankings in challenge mode, it's important to first explain the factors used to make the final rankings more reliable and valuable.

First and foremost, as the team's "shield," the tank must possess sufficient base health and high durability. Ideally, they should also have additional damage reduction and self-healing abilities, along with minimal cooldowns.

After ensuring these basic tank qualities, a good tank should also have the ability to increase his or her damage output, as more damage is always more effective for victory. To achieve this, you can choose a class specialization focused on DPS.

In theory, any tank specialization can improve your character's strength, but if you want to make challenge mode easier, you should choose a specialization with higher efficiency.

S-Tier Brewmaster Monk

As the top-tier WoW MoP Classic tank, Brewmaster Monk boasts excellent damage reduction and can provide support to teammates with its unique skills, Summon Black Ox Statue and Avert Harm.

While its damage output isn't exceptional among tanks, it can be increased through crit attacks without sacrificing defensive capabilities, allowing it to play both offensive and defensive roles within the team. It also boasts a relatively fast movement speed.

Of course, every advantage comes with its drawbacks. This class has weak self-sustaining abilities. For example, healing from Gift of the Ox requires access to a healing globe, and the healing from Chi Wave and Expel Harm is mediocre.

Furthermore, Brewmaster Monk has a high barrier to entry, making it unsuitable for beginners. Improper skill timing can make you more vulnerable to death than your teammates.

Therefore, even if you're confident in mastering this class, we recommend consuming WoW MoP Classic gold to redeem self-healing potions or learning professions that allow you to craft healing items.

A-Tier Protection Paladin

Protection Paladin provides excellent utility and solid defense to the team through the abilities Devotion Aura, Hand of Sacrifice, and Hand of Protection. With a high enough Vengeance, you can also use Arcing Light to heal allies.

More importantly, the class received a buff after the release of MoP Classic, boosting its defense. Combined with the passive healing effects of Sacred Shield and Seal of Insight, you don't even need a dedicated healer to care for you.

It's worth noting that while Protection Paladin's active damage reduction ability, Shield of the Righteous, is very effective, it can actually leave you vulnerable if you don't manage it properly during combat.

When fighting single-target bosses, the class can also leverage its high Vengeance to deal more damage, which can be a class advantage. However, if this isn't achieved, the low base damage and slow movement speed can diminish Protection Paladin's appeal.

You May Like: What Major Innovations And Changes Have Been Introduced In WoW MoP Classic Phase 2?

A-Tier Blood Death Knight

Although both are A-Tier tank classes, Blood Death Knight can be more vulnerable in certain situations than Protection Paladin. Therefore, its strong ranking stems from its high damage output and decent utility.

More importantly, even with low Vengeance, the class offers strong defensive and offensive performance. Additionally, the unique Gorefiend's Grasp can provide additional benefits to the entire team in certain encounters.

B-Tier Protection Warrior

Protection Warrior performs well as a basic tank, but its low ranking stems from its over-reliance on Vengeance mechanic. Therefore, if you want to play it in challenge mode, it's best to maintain a high level of Vengeance through timely and effective coordination.

This way, sufficient Vengeance will continuously generate Rage, transforming into a shield that absorbs more enemy damage and protects you.

As for team utility, you can provide basic support when playing as a Protection Warrior using the skills Skull Banner, Rallying Cry, Vigilance, and Demoralizing Banner. While not exceptional, they're better than nothing.

B-Tier Guardian Druid

Although it's ranked last in this ranking, its placement in B-Tier proves that Guardian Druid is superior to most mediocre tank classes, and it also received buffs in Mists of Pandaria Classic.

First, Bear Hug's cooldown has been shortened to 1 minute, increasing its usage and utility. Additionally, Guardian Druid's basic attack damage has been increased by 15%, and at high Vengeance, it can deal more damage to single-target bosses than most tank classes.

Defensively, playing this class allows you to better protect against physical damage with Savage Defense and gain solid basic defense. Furthermore, Frenzied Regeneration provides ample self-healing while clearing dungeons.

These are just some of our top-ranked tank class recommendations. If you already have a favorite class or want to explore different combat styles, you can also try other classes not listed. Ultimately, having fun is the most important thing!

WoW MoP Classic is about to make a big move, as officials plan to create a single Mega server and allow players from all servers to migrate to it.

Officials haven't announced a specific date yet, but have only shared their plans for each server and their reasons for doing so. Let's take a look at their specific plans below.

Server Issues

Currently, PvP servers are essentially dead in name only. The vast majority of PvP servers are one-sided, consisting mostly of Horde or Alliance players, leaving virtually no outdoor PvP. If players want to pursue PvP, the best approach is to go to the most popular servers, rather than looking at server tags.

However, most players don't even know their server type. Some players only discovered their server was actually PvE after checking their stats, clearly demonstrating that the PvP tag has lost its meaning.

Here are some of the more popular servers, along with their tags:

Americas / Oceania

• Benediction - PvP
• Faerlina - PvP
• Mankrik - PvP
• Pagle - PvE
• Grobbulus - PvP
• Sulfuras - PvE

Europe (EU)

• Firemaw - PvP
• Gehennas - PvP
• Atiesh - PvE
• Flamegor / Pilemegor - PvP

There are also servers in Taiwan and South Korea, but they're not as large.

Solution (Tom Ellis's Plan)

Players were aware of this situation as early as July, and the official team has acknowledged the situation. They plan to convert most PvP servers to PvE and create a centralized Mega server for players to migrate to.

All players' characters, items, WoW MoP Classic gold, and achievements will be transferred to the new, merged servers. It's expected that your auction house listings, guild rosters, and progress will also be transferred.

Players on the original servers will retain their names. If you have the same character name on different servers being merged, you will be asked to choose a new name for one of your characters to avoid duplication.

Tom Ellis mentioned in a tweet that they initially planned to use connected server technology, but were unable to do so due to their busy schedule with other Classic releases. Given the success of Season of Discovery and WoW Classic 20th Anniversary running on a single server, they are considering adopting a similar Mega server model for the entire Mists of Pandaria Classic release.

For US Servers

• All PvP servers will be converted to PvE servers and closed to new character creation.
• Free character migration will be available, allowing players from all servers to migrate to a designated central destination server.

Official will be adding significant hardware to this central server to handle the pressure caused by the influx of players. However, one server will be exempted from this arrangement: Grobbulus. This is the only PvP server currently with balanced factions and enforced balance. Therefore, it will remain PvP and serve as a migration destination for players who wish to experience authentic, outdoor PvP. We will continue to monitor the faction balance in Grobbulus to prevent it from becoming one-sided.

For European Servers

• Because all PvP servers are single-sided, all servers will be converted to PvE.
• A central server will also be created for all players to migrate to.
• Servers in other regions (such as Russia) will also be merged into a single server.

The EU servers may undergo a name merge in advance to free up as many character names as possible on the target server.

Korean and Taiwanese servers have already been merged, so players on those servers will not be affected.

Pros And Cons Of Mega Servers

Pros

Overall, I think this plan is quite reasonable and shows that we are continuously monitoring the status of each server and actively resolving any issues. Furthermore, this move is intended to streamline the server fleet, potentially freeing up server resources for the future Classic Plus version.

We may also use this opportunity to introduce War Mode, allowing players to enable PvP and earn rewards freely. This would be more meaningful than the current fake PvP server labels.

At the same time, with more players on a Mega server, dungeon and raid formations will be easier, and auction house transactions will be more frequent. Farming MoP Classic gold will also become more rewarding.

Cons

However, Mega server may initially experience queues, lag, crashes, and insufficient floors. This is also bad news for players who rarely log in. If they don't migrate to the new server in time, when they finally go online, they might find that their former guildmates and friends have left.

Furthermore, a large crowd of people may cause previously promising Mists of Pandaria Classic gold farms to become even more congested. This depends on how the official team handles these resource constraints.

Therefore, players are advised not to rush to migrate immediately, but to wait a few weeks or wait until the system stabilizes before making a decision.

Overall, the server merger is a sound move, but the performance of a single Mega server remains to be seen. The success of the server merger will ultimately depend on the official team's technical capabilities to support the large population.

Compared to other World of Warcraft games, MoP Classic, with its Eastern-themed theme, exemplified by Pandaren race, has attracted many new players. Furthermore, the game offers enhanced gameplay through scenarios, in addition to regular dungeons and raids.

For ease of understanding, scenarios can be considered miniature dungeons. They require only a three-player party and have no class or role restrictions. You and your teammates need only be level 90 and have a gear level greater than 425 to enter.

Although smaller in scale and more focused on story than challenge, you can still earn WoW MoP Classic gold, Valor Points, or special gear by completing scenarios, as well as completing related achievements.

There are currently six scenarios available in the game, and we previously introduced Theramore's Fall. This article will provide a guide for earning loot in Arena of Annihilation.

Arena Of Annihilation Overview

This scenario begins at Temple of the White Tiger, which you'll need to travel to Kun-Lai Summit to find. Note that if you have time, you can complete the other quests in this location before entering the scenario.

Arena of Annihilation contains multiple bosses, and defeating them is essential to completing the scenario and claiming the rewards.

However, bosses in this scenario won't unlock automatically as you progress, you need to interact with Tiger Temple Gong within the scenario to summon the bosses.

In addition, the character level requirement for entering Arena of Annihilation has been relaxed to 85. After that, you and your teammates can enter Looking for Dungeon system and begin queuing.

As for party role arrangement, since scenarios don't require specific roles, it's generally recommended to team up with three DPS players to complete the scenario by dealing heavy damage as quickly as possible.

How To Complete This Scenario?

After entering Arena of Annihilation, you can officially accept the quest from Wodin Troll-Servant and begin your boss farming journey.

Boss 1: Scar-Shell

This boss is summoned after hitting Tiger Temple Gong for the first time. As the first boss, it's not an enormous challenge, and its main ability throughout the fight is Crushing Bite, making it relatively easy to deal with.

The only caveat is that Scar-Shell will periodically cast Stone Spin, causing it to spin around the perimeter of the room. Occasionally, it will dash through the center and crash into you, dealing significant damage if hit, so be sure to avoid it.

Interestingly, after 12 seconds of spinning, the boss will become stunned, making this the perfect time to focus your attacks.

Boss 2: Jol'Grum

This terrifying creature, known for its Grummle-eating and snow-stalking abilities, will knock everyone to the other side of the arena during the fight and will sometimes target specific players with a Threat Drop.

If you notice this boss casting Angry during the fight, be sure to use skills like Tranquilizing Shot with your teammates to dispel the debuff.

Boss 3: Little Liuyan

This is a fire spirit-type boss. Most of the time, he'll cast Fireball, dealing moderate damage, or Flameline, dealing impact damage and continuous damage to players caught in the flames.

This boss's most powerful skill is Flame Wall, which fills the center of the arena with flames, damaging players within. The boss also summons three minions to form another flame wall on the other side of the arena.

To counter this skill, you'll need to kill the minions while avoiding the effects of the primary skill to dispel the additional flame wall, focusing the fight on Little Liuyan.

Boss 4: Chagan Firehoof

This is a fierce yaungol warrior who fights alongside a yak pet. During the fight, the boss will use Hammer Time to continuously deal area-of-effect damage to your team within melee range.

The boss also uses the ability Trailblaze, creating a temporary line of fire from beneath his feet. You'll need to dodge the line while dealing damage to the boss and his pet.

The Final Stage: Defeat The Final Challenger!

During this stage, you may encounter one of three bosses: Maki Waterblade, Cloudbender Kobo, or Satay Byu (Maki Waterblade seems to be the most likely to appear). Killing the boss completes Arena of Annihilation challenge.

What Rewards Can You Get?

After completing Arena of Annihilation stage, in addition to gold and other available points, you can choose the most suitable piece of gear from the following seven items as a reward:

• Liuyang's Light-Lit Longshank
• Liuyang's Lovely Longstaff
• Satay's Stabbing Sword
• Maki's Mashing Mace
• Jol'Grum's Frozen Mace
• Chagan's Cheery Chopper
• Scar-Shell's Scintillating Staff

What Achievements Are Available?

As you know, Mists of Pandaria Classic features a comprehensive and extensive achievement system. Complete enough achievements to earn additional rewards.

During Arena of Annihilation challenge, the available achievements and their corresponding completion methods are as follows:

• Arena of Annihilation: Complete the entire scenario.
• In the Eye of the Tiger: Defeat each of the three random bosses once during the final stage. Since each boss appears randomly and with varying odds, you may need to farm the scenario multiple times to earn this achievement.
• Beat the Heat: Defeat the third boss, Little Liuyan, without anyone in your party taking damage from Flame Wall.

It's worth noting that there are two optimal ways to earn the third achievement: one is to kill the boss before he casts the skill, and the other is to move out of the inner circle before the skill takes effect and follow Flame Wall in a counterclockwise direction.

That's all for this guide. We hope it helps you complete Arena of Annihilation. Have fun!
