Welcome back to the weekly roundup of Warcraft news! This week, Blizzard has introduced several exciting updates that are sure to catch the eye of any Warcraft enthusiast. With the launch of Season 1 content, players have a lot to look forward to, from nearly free heroic gear to efficient farming opportunities for Valor Stones and Crests. Let's dive into the key updates you need to know.
Streamlined Story Mode
Blizzard has rolled out a new story mode that simplifies the raid experience, focusing on a redesigned final boss. Players can access this mode after completing a short questline in Azet, culminating in a battle with the boss alongside five NPCs from the Algar Expedition. This mode allows players who typically avoid raids to experience endgame content and earn an Enchanted Runed Harbinger Crest, which can be crafted into high-level gear without the need for 45 Runed Crests.
Mythic Plus Madness
The Mythic Plus scene has exploded, with over 730,000 runs logged within the first 48 hours of its release. Over 1.5 million unique characters have participated, raising questions about whether War Within might surpass previous records set by Dragonflight Season 1. Notably, Blizzard has made the Mythic Plus scoring system less demanding, allowing players to achieve Keystone Master status with fewer dungeon completions.
PTR Changes and Classic Timewalking
The Public Test Realm (PTR) has introduced a new variant of the Judgment Tier set, featuring trousers instead of a robe. Additionally, the classic Timewalking vendor has returned, offering mounts and transmogs worth farming. The 20th anniversary event celebrates the game's legacy with beloved characters and offers a 20% XP and reputation buff, making it an ideal time for progression.
Quick Tips for Efficient Farming
For those aiming to maximize Valor Stone farming, tackling the boss Zack on one-question mark difficulty can yield 25 Valor Stones in just two minutes. This method provides a faster alternative to Mythic Plus spamming, offering players a chance to fill up their Vaults efficiently.
