What’s Happening This Week in World of Warcraft

Another exciting week in World of Warcraft is here, and there’s no shortage of activities to keep you busy in Azeroth. This week offers plenty of opportunities to level up, earn exclusive items, and snag some coveted mounts. Let’s break down everything you should prioritize before the week wraps up!

Darkmoon Faire (Ends Saturday Night)

The Darkmoon Faire is back and runs until Saturday at midnight. This monthly event is packed with activities and rewards, making it a must-visit for players of all levels. Here’s why you should head to the Darkmoon Faire Island:

  • 10% Reputation and Experience Buff: The Whee! buff grants a 10% boost to both reputation and experience gains. Use this buff while completing weekly quests or leveling alts to save time and maximize your progress.

  • Profession Quests: Complete the profession-specific quests available at the Faire to earn knowledge points and skill points for your tradeskills. These quests are quick and easy, so don’t miss out on this opportunity to advance your professions.

  • Fun and Collectibles: The Darkmoon Faire offers a variety of mini-games, achievements, and collectibles. Whether you’re after mounts, pets, or transmog items, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Delve Bonus Week: Level Up Your Gear and Farm Resources

The Delve Bonus Week is in full swing, providing extra incentives for delves—a great opportunity for both new and experienced players to gear up and farm valuable rewards. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Bonuses Galore: During this event, you’ll earn extra Journey Track experience, Brann experience, and Under Coins, which can be spent at the delve vendor.

  • Champion Gear Rewards: Completing the weekly quest tied to this event will earn you an easy piece of Champion gear.

  • Alt-Friendly Farming: New alts get a significant boost, as delve keys are available from reputation vendors. This makes running delves at levels 7 or 8 a fantastic way to earn Champion and Hero gear while completing the weekly quest.

  • Flexibility for All Players: You don’t need to run high-level delves to complete the quest—any level will do. This makes it a great way to get started on gearing up or progressing further with your characters.

If you’re running multiple characters or catching up on gear, this week is the perfect time to take advantage of delve flexibility and rewards.

Sparks and Catalyst Week: Set Bonuses and Transmog Awaits

It’s also a Spark and Catalyst Week, meaning you can craft and upgrade gear to add to your class set collections. Whether you’re completing set bonuses or expanding your transmog collection, this is a great time to use your Sparks of Ingenuity and access the Revival Catalyst.

  • Pro Tip: Hold onto Sparks for later in the expansion when materials are cheaper, and you’re no longer using them for immediate upgrades. They can be used for crafting older set pieces to unlock transmog appearances.

Warsong Scramble Brawl: A Fast-Paced Battleground

The weekly PvP brawl is Warsong Scramble, a high-speed twist on the classic Warsong Gulch battleground. Players can carry multiple flags at once and race to score points for their team. If you enjoy chaotic and fast-paced PvP action, this brawl is a must-play.

Trading Post: New Month, New Rewards

A new month means the Trading Post has been refreshed with exciting rewards. This month, you can snag some unique items, including the highly anticipated Murloc Jammies—a fun and quirky transmog option.

  • Don’t forget to complete your monthly Traveler’s Log to earn Trader’s Tender, which can be spent on a variety of cosmetics, mounts, and pets available at the Trading Post.

Timewalking: Back to Classic Dungeons

This week’s Timewalking Event takes you back to the original World of Warcraft dungeons. Not only does this provide a nostalgic trip down memory lane, but it’s also a chance to earn Champion-level gear by clearing a rotation of classic dungeons.

  • What’s Your Experience Been Like?: With Timewalking events happening nearly every week during the anniversary celebration, how has it impacted your gameplay? Whether you’re farming cosmetics, gearing up alts, or just enjoying the nostalgia, Timewalking has been a great way to mix things up.

Mythic+ Affixes: Tyrannical, Fortified, and Devourer

For those running Mythic+ dungeons, the affixes this week are Tyrannical, Fortified, and Devourer. The Devourer affix introduces a mechanic where you’ll get a debuff that needs to be dispelled—either by yourself or by someone else in your party. Coordination is key, so make sure your group is prepared!

Micro-Holiday: Wanderer’s Festival (Saturday Only)

This Saturday, don’t miss the Wanderer’s Festival, a charming micro-holiday that takes place on Turtle Beach in the Krasarang Wilds (Pandaria). This one-day event is a great way to take a break from your usual grind and enjoy a unique celebration.

  • Achievement Alert: The main reward for this event is the “Wanderer’s Dreamers and You” achievement. To earn it, simply attend either the opening or closing ceremonies of the festival. These ceremonies occur early in the morning and late at night, so plan your visit accordingly.

Secret Mount: Fel Cycle Progress Update

The mystery surrounding the Fel Cycle mount: Incognitro, the Indecipherable Felcycle, continues to intrigue the WoW community. While the secret hasn’t been fully solved yet, progress is being made. Stay tuned for updates as players work together to unlock this elusive mount.
