Q & A

What is the release date for the 'War Within' expansion?

The release date for the 'War Within' expansion is set for August 26th.

What is the 'Voyaging Wilder Ling Mount' and how can players earn it?

The 'Voyaging Wilder Ling Mount' is a reward for clearing all three raids on normal difficulty in the 'Awakened' mode during Season 4 of Dragonflight.

What are the benefits of clearing the raids on Heroic and Mythic modes?

Clearing the raids on Heroic mode rewards players with the 'Awakened Hero' title, while clearing them on Mythic mode unlocks teleport spells to each of the raid entrances.

Why might the pre-patch make it easier to clear the raids?

The pre-patch will likely make it easier to clear the raids because the 'Awakened' raid rotation will end, and all three raids will be 'Awakened' at once, eliminating the need to track the raid rotation.

What difficulty will increase with the pre-patch, making certain activities harder?

With the pre-patch, the difficulty of older raids will increase as they will all become 'Awakened', making farming for certain legendaries more challenging.

What is the 'Heroic Farak full transform manuscript' and why is it important to obtain early?

The 'Heroic Farak full transform manuscript' is an award that requires players to defeat Farak on Heroic mode. It's important to obtain early because it will be easier when the raid is not 'Awakened'.

What are the benefits of spending 'Bronze Bullion' before Season 4 ends?

Spending 'Bronze Bullion' before Season 4 ends allows players to purchase weapon transmogs, collectibles, and the 'Slime Cat Mount' from Shadowlands, which may not be available afterward.

What is the significance of the 'Keystone Conqueror' and 'Keystone Master' achievements?

The 'Keystone Conqueror' achievement, earned with a Mythic plus score of 1,500 or above, rewards the 'Draconic' title. The 'Keystone Master' achievement, for a score of 2,000 or above, rewards the 'Infinite Armadon Mount'.

What are the consequences of waiting for the pre-patch to level up alts?

Waiting for the pre-patch to level up alts could be beneficial as the experience required to level will be significantly reduced, making the leveling process much faster.

Why is it recommended to create an Aok'ra character before the pre-patch?

It is recommended to create an Aok'ra character before the pre-patch because the leveling process for Aok'ra will change, starting at level 10 instead of 58, so creating one before the change saves time and progress.

What are the advantages of joining a guild before the 'War Within' expansion?

Joining a guild before the 'War Within' expansion makes it easier to participate in group content, such as Mythic dungeons and raids, and can provide a supportive community to share the new expansion experience.

Cleaning up inventory and bank space before a new expansion ensures that there is room for new items, materials, and gear, and helps in organizing resources for the new content.

What is the 'Warband' system and how does it affect storage and crafting?

The 'Warband' system introduces an account-wide bank with extra space, allowing unbound or Warband-bound items to be shared among characters. It simplifies crafting by enabling characters to craft using materials stored in the Warband bank, regardless of which character gathered the materials.

Why is it suggested to review and possibly remove certain add-ons before the new expansion?

Reviewing and removing certain add-ons before the new expansion ensures that the game runs smoothly with the updated systems and features, and prevents unnecessary clutter in the add-ons folder.

What is the role of gold in preparing for the 'War Within' expansion?
