In WoW SoD Phase 4, Upper Blackrock Spire (UBRS) is one of several dungeons that players can explore after reaching level 60. Not only is this dungeon great for gear, but to access it, players must complete Upper Blackrock Spire Attunement quest chain to unlock the door to the second half of the massive Blackrock Spire dungeon.

In WoW SoD, Upper Blackrock Spire offers some of the best gear in Phase 4, both Pre-BiS and BiS. Also, playing dungeons like Upper Blackrock Spire is an integral part of many players’ progression to earn SoD Gold and valuable items, such as Pip’s Skinner, which is key to skinning Onyxia’s hide.

This guide will detail how to play Seal of Ascension quest, and tell you how to find Upper Blackrock Spire raid entrance in its associated dungeon, Lower Blackrock Spire (LBRS).

Step-By-Step Attunement Process For Upper Blackrock Spire

In order to access Upper Blackrock Spire, you need to complete a quest called Seal of Ascension, which rewards Seal of Ascension, which is used to open the entrance to Upper Blackrock Spire. First, you need to find an NPC named Vaelan in LBRS and accept the quest from him to start Upper Blackrock Spire attunement.

Once you enter the dungeon, go up the stairs on the right and jump off the ledge to the southeast. Go through the gate on the east side and continue through Hordemar City until you see a stone ramp leading up to the left, behind the first group of monsters, near the candlesticks. Climbing this ramp, you will find Vaelan crouching on the edge, but he will not appear in his true form at first. In fact, he is disguised as a Scarshield Infiltrator, and only when you approach him will he transform and appear as a friendly quest NPC.

After accepting the quest, your next step is to go to LBRS and defeat three specific bosses to collect the gems they drop. Each gem has a 1 in 5 chance of being obtained from the corresponding boss.

Gemstone of Spirestone can be obtained from Highlord Omokk. Gemstone of Smolderthorn can be obtained from War Master Voone. Gemstone of Bloodaxe needs to be obtained from Overlord Wyrmthalak. In addition, you need to find an Unadorned Seal of Ascension, which has a slight chance of dropping from Dragonkin enemies in LBRS.

Once you have collected all four items, return to Vaelan, who will instruct you to go to Dustwallow Marsh to tame an elite dragon named Emberstrife. Instead of killing Emberstrife, weaken it and use Orb of Dragonic Energy to force it to produce Forged Seal of Ascension.

Return to LBRS and find Vaelan again, and give him Forged Seal of Ascension. Completing this quest will grant you Seal of Ascension Ring, which grants +10 Fire, Frost, and Nature resistance, and allows you to enter Upper Blackrock Spire.

Where To Find Upper Blackrock Spire Entrance In Lower Blackrock Spire?

The entrance to Upper Blackrock Spire is located inside Lower Blackrock Spire, similar to the entrance to Molten Core, which is in Blackrock Depths. To access Upper Blackrock Spire, you need to enter Lower Blackrock Spire and go up the left side of the first set of stairs. Next, turn left and you will see a locked door.

This door leads directly to Upper Blackrock Spire, but can only be opened by a player wearing Seal of Ascension, otherwise even a level 60 Rogue with maxed skills cannot unlock it. Once the door is opened, you and your group can enter the dungeon, and once inside, you can remove the ring and exchange it for your regular gear.

For players looking for a challenge and reward, this quest chain is a very worthwhile choice. Now that you have the key to access Upper Blackrock Spire, it’s time to embark on the journey!

In WoW SOD Phase 4, Tarnished Undermine Realms are the primary method for most players to obtain new gear and items, including parts for all tier 0 dungeon sets that can be improved in the new Phase 4 gear upgrade questline.

If you’re also interested in how to obtain Tarnished Undermine Real, read on, as this guide will cover the full inventory of Tarnished Undermine Real vendor, as well as where you can find this Tarnished Undermine Real vendor.

What Is Tarnished Undermine Real Used For?

Tarnished Undermine Real acts similarly to SOD Gold in the game and can be redeemed for items from a new vendor in Booty Bay. The new vendor features a variety of useful SoD Phase 4 gear, including rings, weapons, other equipment, as well as various crafting recipes and fun toys.

Such as Gift of Gob, it turns your friendly target into a Goblin for one hour, including Hunter pets. The new Pattern: Leather-Reinforced Runecloth Bag, with 18 slots, is locked behind this new currency, as well as numerous Alchemy recipes, pre-BiS gear, and other useful items. It will be an important currency before entering Molten Core, but to obtain Undermine Reals, you need to make sure you follow the right method.

How To Get Tarnished Undermine Real In WoW SoD?

The method to obtain Tarnished Undermine Real is simple. Each boss of the dungeon that reaches the maximum level will drop one of this currency every day, but you can’t farm the same dungeon repeatedly because it resets at 9 am server time.

This system is a bit like Wild Offering system in SoD Phase3, but instead of being tied to only one boss in each instance, which you can farm repeatedly, Tarnished Undermine Real drops once a day from each boss in the instance.

The best way to farm Tarnished Undermine Real is to visit the five main dungeons at the highest level. It is worth noting that to access Upper Blackrock Spire, you must find a UBRS-attuned player, or get attuned in Lower Blackrock Spire yourself.

Tarnished Undermine Real Vendor Location

Tarnished Undermine Real vendor is located in Booty Bay, and the vendor’s wares are available to both Horde and Alliance players. Look for Pix Nizzix in the northeast of the lower platform. He should be standing next to Auctioneer outside the shiphouse, where you can exchange it for Parrot pet.

From the ship to Ratchet City, continue forward and turn left to find a Goblin standing on top of a crate. If you can’t see Tarnished Undermine Real vendor location, head to the lower planks of Booty Bay and look for Goblin hiding in a corner that may be surrounded by dozens of players.

All Tarnished Undermine Real Rewards

Tier 0 Dungeon Sets drop from the same dungeons as vanilla WoW. With this new currency, you can also redeem parts for the T0 Dungeon Set. The cost of each set follows the same formula.

Specifically, in order to have Tier 0 Head, Chest, and Legs pieces, each will cost 50 Tarnished Undermine Real. And Tier 0 Belt, Boots, Gloves, and Shoulder pieces will cost 25 Tarnished Undermine Real each. In addition, for Tier 0 Bracers parts, you can exchange them for 15 Tarnished Undermine Real.

Try to target dungeons that drop Head, Chest, and Legs pieces of your Tier 0 SoD Dungeon Set first. While farming these dungeons, you’ll earn Tarnished Undermine Reels, which can be used to exchange for other items, and if you can get these high-cost items, you’ll need to run fewer dungeons to get the full set.

Overall, Tarnished Undermine Real plays an important role in WoW SoD Phase 4 as a new currency that opens the door to high-level gear and valuable items. Through diligent farming and wise dungeon selection, players can better cope with the upcoming challenges.

World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery has just entered Phase 4. In this phase, your character’s level cap is now 60, and there are a number of other additions and fixes.

The unique thing about this version of WoW is that you can use something called runes to improve your character’s skills or talents, and even add some new abilities to complement your own unique build.

These runes have been available since Phase 1, and this guide is designed for characters under level 25, so they are perfect for when you want to level up quickly. Although many rune names will be different as the game changes, it doesn’t matter.

Ice Lance For Level 2 Mage

• Effect: Deals Frost damage to the primary target and triple damage to targets already frozen.

This rune was originally created to encourage players to choose Ice Mage, but later players considered Ice Mage to be the best upgrade option since Vanilla Classic. Combined with the early glove enchantment you get in the game, this rune’s spell power is greatly increased and provides you with better damage output.

To obtain this rune, you need to perform a quest as a Mage trainer. Kill a local until it drops a Spell Note. This will provide you with the simple but effective Frost spell, which is also an excellent complement to the other late-game rune Enlightment.

Enlightment Rune is a Mage’s chest piece, which allows you to increase your spell damage and help you restore mana. In the spirit of Mage lore, you need to study, decipher, and decode the runes for this class. In addition, you need to have Arcane Intellect buff activated to learn this spell.

Explosive Shot For Level 5 Hunter

• Effect: An explosive charge that deals increased fire damage to the primary target and enemy targets within 8 yards.

Glove enchantments provide a very useful AOE effect, and also increase your character’s initial attack damage. Explosive Shot is the second glove enchantment you can find, the other being Chimera Shot, which relies more on poison and sustained damage.

You can get this precious Explosive Shot by killing four different beasts in starring areas in Durotar, Dun Morugh, Teldrssil, or Mulgore. Between these two runes, your choice may lead to different builds for the Hunter. Hunters can not choose other classes in Season of Discovery, but can choose what kind of DPS warrior they want to be to complete the battle.

Victory Rush For Level 2 Warrior

• Effect: Instantly attack your target. Killing an enemy that provides XP or Honor within the next 20 seconds will heal you for 30% of your maximum health.

Victory Rush is very similar to Charge ability you had before and is also an important part of the warrior toolbox. However, this rune has been improved to help you restore a little health, removing the previous ability to generate Rage.

As we all know, Warriors have no self-healing spells. And at low levels, there are very few potions that can give Warriors buffs and health, not to mention the ability to cook special food. If you spend SOD Gold to exchange for these items, it is very uneconomical, because when you are at a low level, please save every gold and don’t squander it.

So, anything that can give Warriors an advantage in both initial attack and effective health recovery is very good. Fortunately, Warriors can get Victory Rush very early in the game. It can perfectly match the tank or DPS role currently available to Warriors. So, no matter which build you choose, it is your best choice.

Quick Draw For Level 8 Rogue

• Effect: Quickly fires long-range shots at enemies, slowing their movement speed by 50% and granting 1 combo point.

Rogues can also be tanks in Season of Discovery, which is something many Warcraft fans didn’t expect. Quick Draw can help you better manage the battlefield by dragging enemies and slowing their movement speed at lower levels. At higher levels, you can use it to upgrade your tank character.

To get Quick Draw, you need to use Pick Pocket skill to find a treasure map fragment that reveals the location of the rune. This may take a lot of time, but trust me, it’s definitely worth it.

DPS Rogues in the game can use Quick Draw to gain continuous combo points and unleash additional special attacks. This passive enchant will parasitize on Rogue’s chest piece, so it doesn’t take up open space on your action bar, which is also a benefit.

Haunt For Level 2 Warlock

• Effect: AOE effect that deals 400 initial damage, increases all other Shadow damage by 20%, and heals Warlock’s health.

Haunt is one of the best runes for Warlocks, whether you’re a DPS or tank, and no matter how low you are. It gives you a deadly DOT spell in your early levels and also restores your health upon death.

You can get Haunt by completing one quest in Stolen Power or Lost Rune, depending on your race and faction. If you combine Haunt with a skill, such as Life Tap, Warlocks don’t need to replenish energy or health constantly.

This has made some Warlocks very satisfied, and they can even be tanks now, and you can often see them in some dungeons. According to the rules of the game, the more damage a Warlock deals to the target, the more health it restores. This also makes Haunt one of the most basic runes in a Warlock Tank build.

In combat, you can use Haunt on multiple targets and time their downfalls precisely so that you can restore as much health as possible to the tank and give the healer time to recharge.

The above are some of the best runes that can help you level up quickly in WoW Classic SoD Phase 4. I hope you can have fun exploring Phase 4 and reach level 60 smoothly.

As we all know, WoW Classic Season of Discovery brings a lot of new content to players in each phase. Well, Phase 4 is no exception. In addition to the new level-up Raids converted from the original dungeons, another new content is added: Demon Fall Canyon.

As the highest level dungeon in WoW SoD, Demon Fall Canyon is naturally different from other ordinary dungeons. To enter Demon Fall Canyon, you need to go through a lot of hardships. So this guide will introduce what you need and how to unlock Demon Fall Canyon.

Demon Fall Canyon Prerequisites

First, for the level, if you want to explore Demon Fall Canyon and unlock its quest line, you must meet level 55 and above, and you must complete Wild Offerings questline in Phase 3-The Wild Gods.

Even Shadowtooth Emissary in Emerald Sanctuary will not offer you the attunement quest Demonic Deceptions if you are not level enough. Likewise, if you are level enough but have not completed The Wild Gods, you will not get Demon Fall Canyon attunement.

Shadowtooth Emissary can only be made a vendor after you meet the above two conditions, so both are required before you can unlock Demon Fall Canyon attunement.

How To Unlock Demon Fall Canyon?

Step 1

After you get Demonic Deception’s quest from Shadowtooth Emissary, the emissary will also tell you more about some strange events in Loa. This time your task requires you to defeat the demon Mannoroth in Grommash Hellscream and save Orcs from his fel blood.

The emissary will also ask you to use an Owlbeast Pineal Glands to craft an amulet to dispel the illusions in this area, and will send you to Winterspring when you are ready.

Owlbeasts in other areas will not drop this high-level item. Only Owlbeasts living in the high-level Winterspring will drop it, and there are also designated Owlbeasts - Berserk Owlbeasts, Moontouched Owlbeasts and Crazed Owlbeasts.

The first two Owlbeasts have only a 25% to 30% chance of dropping Owlbeast Pineal Glands, and the last one has a very low drop rate or even no drop. You need to kill at least 6 of these Owlbeasts, and after completing it, you need to return to Emerald Sanctuary. In addition, the best place to collect Owlbeasts is north of Everlook.

Step 2

After you get Pineal Glands and give them to Shadowtooth Emissary, in return he will give you Shadowtooth Illusion Ward and a bunch of SOD Gold as a reward for completing Demonic Deceptions quest.

Shadowtooth Illusion Ward looks like a trinket, but it will get you used to all the new WoW SoD Phase 4 dungeons. When you are ready, start to head there, but you will find that Demon Fall Canyon is not in Felwood or Winterspring.

So where is it? Demon Fall Canyon is located in the southeast of Ashenvale. You may think it is a bit far, but fortunately, it is not far on horseback.

Step 3

As mentioned above, Demon Fall Canyon is located in the southeast of Ashenvale. So you need to look for a gray rift in the southeast on the map. Once you find it, you will find that it is very close to the location of Splintertree Post, only a few inches.

The entrance to Demon Fall Canyon is just north of this gray area. But some players may wonder, why can’t I see it? Remember to check your gear slots. If you don’t have Shadowtooth Illusion Ward equipped, you won’t be able to see the portal to this dungeon.

In addition to yourself, you must also make sure that everyone in your team has equipped Demon Fall Canyon attunement trinket. After confirming that everything is correct, you can enter the dungeon portal, which means entering the most exciting new Phase 4 dungeon.

Although theoretically you can enter at a minimum level of 55, it is not recommended to enter Demon Fall Canyon at only level 55 because of the difficulty of this dungeon.

Once inside, you can safely remove Demon Fall Canyon attunement trinket from the equipment slot and replace it with your regular equipment. However, every time you want to re-enter, you will need Demon Fall Canyon attunement trinket, which is equivalent to a key.

Bosses In Demon Fall Canyon

Grimroot is the first boss you encounter in Demon Fall Canyon. Turn left at the first fork in the path and after clearing all the trash along the way, you will find this hovering Mourning Guardian. If you want to make the fight easier, remember to clear all the trash in Grimroot’s patrol before starting the fight.

After you finish fighting Grimroot, continue forward, and you will find Destructor’s Wraith. Don’t worry about this fight, as it is also a very simple one.

After defeating the above two bosses, you can go back to the main road where you first entered the dungeon and you will encounter Zilbagob. It is very cute because it is an imp driving a Goblin Shredder.

Continue back to the dungeon and you will see Memorial for Grommash. Turn your head to the right and follow the path up, remembering to clear the trash on the road as with the first boss. Once you reach the top, you will enter Demon Fall Barrow and you will also see Pyranis.

During your battle with Pyranis, it will summon a lot of Summon Dread Fungus and Summon Dread Lasher, which you need to keep clearing. After the battle, continue to go deeper into Barrow Den and walk to the end.

There you will meet Dreadlord - Diathorus the Seeker. It should be noted that this battle will have two stages, so please increase your defense and health attributes.

After you defeat Dreadlord, go out of a portal in the battle room and you can return to Monument of Grommash and meet Hellscream’s Phantom.

The above is some detailed information about Demon Fall Canyon. I hope this guide can help you with your exploration and wish you a happy exploration!

The fourth stage of the exploration season is now online, and the level cap of the fourth stage is known to be level 60. So how should we upgrade from level 50 to level 60? There are many different things to do, and I also want to share some tips and tricks with you in this guide.

This guide will work all the way to the highest level, and it’s very easy to follow, and it takes about 1 minute to set everything up. It will automatically detect the profession you are playing, and it will also guide you through the best route to collect runes when you level up, and there will be numbers on your map, and a lot of different things to illustrate, and it will also guide you through the best route to reach level 60. But remember to use your Cozy Sleeping Bag when the cooldown is over, because this will increase your experience value by 3% for 2 hours.

Level Up Through Dungeons

One thing you can do is to level up through dungeons. The first dungeon is Blackrock Depths. As an Alliance player goes to Dunbar Row, in Careers section, you will find an NPC that will give you the first quest. Then head to Burning Steppes.

There will also be quite a few quests there, and you will get a lot of extra experience and SOD Gold, and even items, one of which will have you go and kill Master, this NPC or this Elite can be found in front of dungeon entrance portal. So be sure to keep an eye out for this as your group is heading into the dungeon. As a Hardcore player, you can also pick up quite a few quests there.

This location has a keyer. You can change your hearthstone to this location. When you have completed all the different quests, go back with your hearthstone. Both factions can also pick up quests and Burning Steppes. You can use your Hearthstone to go back to both factions, or you can pick up a quest and Burning Steppes, as this NPC is neutral.

Another neutral NPC can be found when you enter a dungeon, pick up Attunement to the Core quest, which is required to coordinate Molten Core. By doing this, you will also gain experience and accomplish different things.

Explore Lower Blackrock Spire

Next, you can hit Lower Blackrock Spire, which is the same location as Blackrock Depths, or very close. At this tower you can pick up different dungeon quests, which have hidden quests. If you are not an experienced player, talk to this NPC and listen to the story, and you will get an item.

If you head to Burning Steppes, there will be NPCs there that you can talk to get different quests. These quests require you to complete dungeon as a party of five, without converting them to a raiding group.

As a Hardcore player, you cannot take this quest. The quest will tell you to go back to Burning Steppes, which will take you to the quest chain. Once you complete the quest, you will get an amazing Trinket as a reward.

Hardcore Players’ Quest Journey

Another important thing is when you level up as a Hardcore player, by going to this camp in Western Plaguelands, after picking up these quests. You can also go to the Eastern Plaguelands, where you can pick up other quests. These are neutral NPCs and are also quests right in front of the dungeon entrance. If you think this is too hard, then you can also do Stratholme here, where you can get many items.

In fact, there will be many quests here, and at this point you are also getting closer and closer to level 60. If you still feel that you are not strong enough to complete Upper Blackrock Spire, then you can do Dio, for example, because in Season of Discovery Phase 4, every dungeon will be open. If you decide to go to Upper Blackrock Spire, then as an Alliance player, you must go to a certain city to pick up this pre-quest, and the quest will tell you to go to Burning Steppes.

If you have already gone to Lower Blackrock Spire and got the quest letter, remember to start the quest as well, in case you gave up on it before as a Hardcore player.

Next, you have to go to Badlands, where you can complete a quest, and you can also pick up another quest from this dungeon. The fastest way to level up is definitely to do quests, and you can also level up a little slower, but make a lot of money at the same time.

Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy exploring Season of Discovery Phase 4 and your journey to level 60.

On July 11, WoW Classic SoD Phase 4 was officially released, and many players are very excited about the new discovery content. Phase 4 of WoW Classic Season of Discovery brings players the last set of dungeons that you can grind during your level 50 to 60.

The loot provided by these dungeons will be available until the end of the game. Therefore, you may end up running dungeons at level 60. This guide will specifically introduce you to Maraudon, which is explorable at level 50 to 52, and provides you with routes and some notes.

Maraudon is a huge dungeon in WoW Classic SoD Phase 4, suitable for entering and grinding when you reach level 50 and above. The bosses here range from level 48 to 51 only, so you will deal with these enemies easily and provide yourself with a lot of experience.

Routes

You can enter Maraudon from three different locations, and the routes you and your team will take will depend on which entrance you enter from.

If you want to start from the orange entrance, you can completely clear the dungeon. If you just want to clear all the bosses in the dungeon, you need to defeat Razorlash and enter the first large open area, then you can take a detour into the purple entrance and kill Lord Vyletongue. Finally, continue back to the main path, deeper into the dungeon.

If you want to be more adventurous, you can start from the purple entrance and defeat Maraudos, which is also required to complete the Pariah’s Instructions quest. After entering, you will see a waterfall in the dungeon, where you need to take a narrow path and fight Tinkerer Gizlock.

After the fight, continue up the slope path to defeat Landslide. From there, you can continue along the main path to Princess Theradras, and after defeating Princess Theradras, fall into the water and defeat Rotgrip.

If you want to go all the way to the end without having to backtrack, you can completely skip Lord Vyletongue, Tinkerer Gizlock and possibly Landslide. These bosses that will cause you to backtrack are actually insignificant in the dungeon and can be safely ignored.

Another popular route into Maraudon skips right up to the waterfall section of the dungeon, but only completes the last few bosses. This requires you and one of your group to have Scepter of Celebras, which is given to you when you talk to Celebras Redeemed in the first half of Maraudon.

The advantage of this route is that it allows you to defeat the bosses in the second half of the dungeon more quickly, the most notable of which is Princess Theradras, who drops some very useful loot for certain classes and SOD Gold that all players love.

This route is also the choice of some high-level players, as the monsters in the second half of the dungeon are a bit higher level. In addition, if you don’t need the loot in the first half of this dungeon, you can also use this route.

Here, I need to remind you that there is no exit in Maraudon. If you want to leave, you need teleport or hearthstone to help you leave this dungeon. If you really have no other way, just log out and reset to return to the nearby cemetery.

Enemies To Watch Out For

Although in theory, you will be higher level than the enemies in the dungeon and will defeat them easily, there are still some that you need to pay special attention to.

Creeping Sludge

These slimy-looking sludges will frequently cause a lot of AoE damage to nearby enemies. When facing them, try not to get close to them, but use ranged weapons to knock them down from a distance.

Barbed Lasher

In addition to the area of damage effect, these monsters also have a knockdown effect. If the healer on your team stands too close to them, the healer’s effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Noxious Slime

It’s actually not difficult for you to fight it, but after they die, they will leave a cloud of toxic gas on the ground. If you are not careful, you will be in danger.

Subterranean Diemetradon

These Diemertradons will cast Sonic Burst on you and silence anyone nearby for 10 seconds. Like Barbed Lasher, casters and healers in the raid should stay away from it.

Princess Theradras

As the final boss of Maraudon, Princess Theradras is much more difficult than any of the previous raids, so you need to know her skills in advance.

Her Repulsive Gaze can be very scary for you and your raid, and she will also throw Boulder at distant targets, which will damage their raid casters and interrupt their spell-casting. When she casts Dust Field, everyone should stay away from her, otherwise they will take a lot of damage.

This skill will also make it clear all obstacles in front of it, so have your raid tank and taunt her, otherwise she will hurt the lowest health among you.

More Tips

You need to have some ranged damage in your team to deal with Creeping Sludge, and for characters with healing skills. Because healers are very easy to get stuck in the crowd of enemies in Maraudon, it is beneficial to equip a few healing skills.

In addition to equipping skills, you also need to determine what loot your raid needs. Some bosses drop very rich loot, but their locations are too remote. If no one wants their dropped items, you need to discuss whether to skip or move on.

When you finally face Princess Theradras, remember to keep in touch. Princess Theradras may pose distinct threats to your team from different directions. If you are too scattered, it may be difficult for tank professions to regain hatred on the boss after Princess Theradras uses Dust Field.

After understanding the entire route and precautions of Maraudon, do you have more confidence to face this relatively simple dungeon? Go to Maraudon with your team!

The difference between modern WoW Classic and original classic is that it has Seasons of Discovery. This allows players to see and experience new content while continuing their journey through game. Today, I will give you some tips to help you level up quickly in SOD Phase 4.

Quest Line

The level cap for Phase 4 is 60. Quests will start with Nightmare Incursion and go up to level 53, and you can complete 16 quests in about 20 minutes, which will be one of the fastest ways to level up. Sunken Temple is now turning into a level-up rate, and it will give about one level of experience.

After that, you will be doing quests, and completing dungeons. There are a lot of new dungeons that will unlock in Phase 4, and you can visit Upper Blackrock Spire, Lower Blackrock Spire, Blackrock Depths, Mage SOLO Strat UD Farm, and new Ashenvale dungeon. There will be an attunement questline according to WAD, which will provide more details.

Also, remember that bosses above level 55 will drop Tarnished Undermine Real once a day, which can be redeemed at Vendor in Booty Bay for exciting 0.5 questline. Traditionally, 0.5 questline is some of best gear you can get before Molten Core is unlocked, and perhaps a lot of players will go farming. This questline starts as early as level 58.

You must first obtain tier zero parts that can be upgraded by delivering a pair of tier zero bracers to your faction’s major city, and you need to obtain these parts from dungeons. You will farm in Phase 4 are Hydraxian Waterlords Timber Argent Dawn and PvP reputations, all of which will provide some previous items for your class.

Get Advanced Equipment

Among them, Thorium Brotherhood will have some very good fireproof items, and you may need them to kill Molten Core at heat level three. Argent Dawn and Timber Mall faction quartermasters vendors allow players to exchange basic versions of crafting reputation items they previously offered, along with some other appropriate materials, for high-quality versions of the same items.

They also changed all items from these vendors to BoP, so you actually have to earn them yourself, rather than buying them from auction house. Arathi Basin, exalted, will have Priest Weapons for many, while Warsong Gulch will have bracers attunements.

Task Arrangement

Of course, you have to complete Molten Core and Onyxia Attunement questlines and Ashenvale questline when you find them, and remember that Alliance’s Onyxia is different. Horde raid Sunken Temple still has some of previous mini-class items, which are helpful for leveling up.

So you’re better off doing it twice a week. World boss is now instanced. Zeros and Kazics will be available on July 18th, and these two raids will reset twice a week on Tuesday and Saturday. Onyxia will be available on July 25th, which will also reset twice a week on Tuesday and Saturday. Then Molten Core will also be available on July 25th, and this raid will reset every Tuesday.

Molten Core

The most exciting thing about SoD Phase4 so far is heat level of Molten Core. Heat level will represent the difficulty, and before you enter zone, you will be able to decide at which difficulty you want to complete Molten Core, which may be a fire resist mechanic, or a mechanic added for each boss.

So you need a lot of fire resist to complete it, and there is also a confirmed 11th boss that has been added to Molten Core. Now it’s just a matter of seeing what happens with Priest. There are over 500 updates and new items in SOD Phase4. Priest is one of the most exciting times to play World of Warcraft.

You need to upgrade your previous items and figure out best route. This way you can go into Molten Core and World Bosses with best gear, and you can do the highest amount of DPS PVP in Blackrock. PVP events will happen every 2 hours, and players will get many daily tasks.

These quests will reward you with Thorium Brotherhood and Hydraxian Waterlords Reputation. This will be the best way to get Hydraxian Waterlords Reputation until Molten Core opens up. And you’ll want to make sure you can put out fire so you can summon Ragnaros at level 10 at the end, which looks very competitive as it offers two very powerful sets of rewards.

Some players will want to mix this with their 05 questline set. Both set rewards will probably stack, which will allow people to have two of each set class from stage 1 to stage 2, giving them an extra 40 or 50 spell power.

Unlocked Items

You’ll get some of best items in SOD by going through these levels, and there will most likely be another quest chain to complete. To unlock these modes, so keep an eye out for these guides when you find it, Epic mounts are now available in game at level 60.

You can also upgrade your STV mount to an epic version of STV vendor for 800 SOD Gold, and if you have a Neuron mount, you can also upgrade it at Neuron vendor for same price. Don’t forget extremely rare Baron Mounts you can farm from Stratholme Undead runes, they’ll pop up ring slots giving you weapon skills when you find them, and cloaks will give your class three or four new abilities.

Hopefully, this guide will help you in your battles for SoD Phase 4!

Just today, WoW Classic SoD Phase 4 was officially released. Since PTR, players have discovered many new runes that make each class very different. Currently, each class will have three new runes available.

Runes can be placed in your equipment slots and provide powerful passive effects to your character. But will these new rune changes make your class easier or more difficult? This guide only introduces you to these new runes, which require you to explore them yourself in WoW Classic SoD Phase 4. Let time prove it.

Druid

Improved Swipe

When in cat form, you can increase your swipe ability; while swiping in bear form can increase damage by 100% and hit 3 additional targets.

Tree of Life

When activating this rune, you will reduce the mana consumption of all continuous healing skills by 20%, and increase the healing received by friendly forces by 10%. In addition, it increases Druid’s spirit by 25% and Druid’s armor by 200%.

Starfall

When you use Starfall, you can summon up to 20 meteor showers over 10 seconds, dealing Arcane damage to enemies within 30 yards of you. There is a 90-second cooldown while using this passive, and CC effects, mounting, and shapeshifting are canceled.

Hunter

Improved Volley

While activating this passive, you will increase the mana cost of Volley by 50%, but the cooldown of this skill will be reduced and it will no longer be affected by the enemy’s counterattack wave. In addition, Volley will deal an additional 3% ranged damage each time.

Resourcefulness

While this passive is active, you will greatly reduce the mana cost of Reduces, up to 100%, and the cooldown will be reduced by 40%.

It fires a Fire Blast that can deal critical hits. Best of all, it can be cast with other spells and is not affected by the global cooldown.

Frozen Orb

It fires a spinning orb of ice from where you stand, and you have a 16-second fast movement time. While moving, the orb deals Frost damage to all enemies it passes by, and casts a frost effect that slows them down by 30%. Additionally, the first time this enemy is damaged by you, not only will their movement speed slow down, but they will also trigger Fingers of Frost rune.

In addition to blocking damage, the shield can be used to slam the target, dealing Holy damage based on your defense, and an additional 214 damage.

This is your Power Word. During this effect, your shield no longer has a cooldown, costs 15% less mana, and even gains 15% more base value. The most exciting thing is that you will gain 50% more healing.

It will cause Shadow damage to the target enemy for 15 seconds, and also make all your party members gain 2% of Shadow damage as mana.

Rogue

Blunderbuss

This skill will fire a blast of muskets at 4 enemies in a cone in front of you, causing a lot of Physical damage.

Crimson Tempest

This is also a finishing skill that you can choose to end the game. It can directly cut enemies within eight yards, causing them to lose health continuously. The longer it lasts, the more damage it will cause per combo point. In addition, you can also benefit from all talents and effects of Rupture or modify Rupture.

This will cause you to throw both of your weapons at any target within 5 yards, increasing your weapon damage by 5% when using a dagger.

Feral Spirit

This will cause you to summon two Spirit Wolves that will do your bidding. This lasts for 45 seconds.

This will reduce your Chain Heal effectiveness by only 35% and your Chain Lightning effectiveness by 20% on each jump. In addition, each jump will also jump to an additional target.

The above is some of the new rune changes in WoW Classic SoD Phase 4. There may be some new runes added to other professions, which you need to explore on your own. I wish you a happy exploration in WoW Classic SoD Phase 4!

WoW Season of Discovery Phase 4 is coming on July 11th and will launch worldwide at 1:00 PM PDT. I thought it would be a good time to talk about some of the key content and changes to help you get a head start as the new phase begins.

In this guide, we’ll start with the new level cap of 60, then cover raid information, move on to some important item updates, then dive into World Event updates, some system updates, and more.

Level Cap Increased To 60

First things first, whether you’re already familiar with SoD content, are experiencing it for the first time through Season of Discovery, or you just want a refresher, increasing the level cap to 60 brings a ton of new content and new things to do. Not only will you gain access to all of WoW Classic zones, such as Burning Steppes, Eastern and Western Plaguelands, Silithus, and Winterspring, but you’ll also be able to maximize your character talents.

Additionally, a new Battleground, Alterac Valley, will be unlocked, and there are also some new Epic Mounts for players to collect.

More importantly, all Classic Dungeons are now available, including Scholomance, Stratholme, Dire Maul (3 wings), and Blackrock Spire.

New Runes

Onward to a brief note about Runes. Since PTR has been around for the past few weeks, few of Runes are completely secret, so we won’t spend a lot of time talking about them in this guide.

As always, with each phase, all classes will get brand new Runes for you to try. While some Runes don’t add much talent or power to their respective classes, at least players can try different play styles. So, whether you want to heal as a Mage or tank as a Rogue or Warlock, Season of Discovery is sure to spice up your game with new items and abilities.

Raid Rework

The raiding continues. As the developers announced previously, Molten Core Raid will be scaled down to 20 players, and the boss encounters will be adjusted for 11 bosses.

Molten Core

It’s worth noting that we’ll have a scalable difficulty system in Molten Core, allowing players to increase the heat inside and face more and more challenges. Please note that increasing the heat level will not affect the quality of the rewards. The quality of the rewards will remain consistent as the difficulty increases. Instead, it will increase the number of rewards, making some of the more valuable drops in the raid appear more frequently.

The developers said that they didn’t want to limit the best gear to after the hard content in Season of Discovery, because it wouldn’t make sense. But if you really want to challenge yourself, you’ll find additional challenges and may be able to equip good gear faster.

Onyxia’s Lair

Besides this, Onyxia’s Lair has also undergone some major loot overhauls, and there will be a lot of rich WOW SOD Gold and loot for you to chase.

The developers have also made adjustments to the raid size with Onyxia. She will eventually be adjusted to 20 players to complete, but the maximum allowed raid size is 40 players.

So if you are doing a casual group and want to ensure a quick success, you can bring 40 players. However, if you’re going with a guild, 20 players might make more sense to maximize your rewards.

Loot

Next, let’s take a look at some of the cool new loot we’ll find in SoD Phase 4.

Dungeon Loot

First up is some of the new dungeon loot for Phase 4.

We have Ironfoe, which has been bumped up to level 58 and now grants +18 attack damage when equipped.

Next, we have Idol of Exsanguination, which grants you 5 rage on your Lacerate ticks.

Totem of the Plains reduces the cast time of your Healing Rain spell by 100%.

Burst of Knowledge has been bumped up to item level 58, with a spell power increase and an active cooldown reduced from 15 minutes to 5 minutes.

Finally, we have Libram of Holy Alacrity, which reduces the cast time of your next two Holy Lights by 0.2 seconds.

Raid Loot

But what about raid loot? Let’s take a quick look at a few items in Molten Core.

First up, we have an awesome-looking Elemental Shaman shield called Earth and Fire. This looks similar to the level 14 PVP shield, but with a unique new color variation.

We also have Magmadar’s Right and Left Claw, which allows you to summon Core Hounds to aid you in combat.

Finally, there’s Obsidian Edged Blade, which increases the damage of Two-Handed Swords from +8 to +3. And, the developers have also added 1% crit chance to these stats, and made them slightly slower.

World Event

Next up, why don’t we take a few minutes to talk about World Events?

Blood Moon

Blood Moon won’t have any major changes in Phase 4, and won’t be the carrier of new items or player powers, but it will continue to occur on a normal timer. Excitingly, since we’re about to hit level 60, it means players will soon be able to get the highest level PVP rewards.

To help with Honor-gain process, the developers will be introducing a new Blood Moon currency in Phase 4. When the new currency is introduced, the price of Bloodstained Commendations will be reduced from 1 silver coin to 25 copper coins. You and your team can venture into Stranglethorn Vale during Blood Moon and replenish your Honor farm.

Nightmare Incursion

Going forward, Nightmare Incursions will also be getting some major adjustments that will help make them feel like optional additions to normal leveling, rather than the ultimate leveling activity for all new characters.

In addition, the developers have stated that they will be reducing the difficulty of some creatures in Nightmare Incursion to make these quests more suitable for solo completion. XP earned from these activities will also be capped at level 53. But if you want to gain reputation, these quests will be available all the way up to level 60.

Blackrock Eruption

For Phase 4’s World Event, the developers took some lessons from previous events and applied them to a new, easier outdoor event, Blackrock Eruption.

This event will occur every two hours and will feature additional spawns, daily quest content, opportunities for reputation gain, and more Honor rewards from World PVP.

System Updates

Finally, let’s talk about some of the big system updates coming to Phase 4.

First, the developers have taken a lot of lessons learned from Wild Offerings currency and expanded that system to introduce a new deterministic currency called Tarnished Undermine Reals.

You can start earning these coins from most non-rare dungeon bosses above level 55, and each boss will drop one currency per day for each player in your group. This currency can be used to acquire a variety of things, such as rare crafting recipes, crafting materials, powerful gear, and a variety of other valuable items.

We’re also particularly excited about a brand new feature for WoW Classic, the twice-weekly raid lockout system. We’ve had a lot of feedback from players that it was difficult for guild leaders to manage the three-day raid lockout because of inconsistent reset dates.

As a result, the developers have been looking for solutions to see if there is a way to provide the faster pace and content availability that the three-day lockout brings, but at the same time add a little stability and predictability to help better plan raids. The twice-weekly raid lockout system is perfect for this goal.

World Buffs

With the arrival of Phase 4 and the level increase to 60, players will begin to gain the effects of the highest-level World Buffs.

In Season of Discovery, the developers also plan to add an Alliance equivalent to Warchief’s Blessing, Might of Stormwind. This buff will increase health by 300 points, speed up melee attacks by 15%, and restore 10 mana every 5 seconds.

As with previous phases, Discoverer’s Delight will continue to work during levels 50-59, providing a 50% XP boost in that level range. And characters from levels 1 to 49 will still enjoy a 150% experience increase, so it should be very easy to get these younger characters caught up.

It’s worth noting that, like previous leveling raids, Sunken Temple will give a ton of XP, so running it as you level up can also give you an enormous boost.

So that’s all we know about some of the key updates and changes you need to know about SOD Phase 4. With the new phase coming up soon, I hope I’ll see you in the game. Good luck!

WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 3 has been active for nearly 6 weeks now, accompanied by 6 resets of Sunken Temple, bringing us closer to reveal the Phase 4. As the upcoming Phase 4 promises an array of rewards, fresh profession recipes, elevated PvP ranks, and other exciting additions, now is a great time to start laying the foundation.

Gain Reputations

Firstly, let's focus on reputations. In Phase 4, there are several reputations worth grinding, but the PvP faction reputations with Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin stand out. If you haven't reached Exalted yet, it's advisable to work towards maxing out these reputations.

Warsong Gulch will continue to offer and upgrade current epic braces available for levels 40-50, extending into Level 60. These braces, particularly the plate versions, have historically remained powerful, often considered BiS even in later content phases like Ahn'Qiraj.

Additionally, at Level 60, players will gain access to epic leggings, with some armor types proving notably stronger than others. Even if new itemization emerges early in Level 60 that surpasses these rewards, there will still be an immediate power boost compared to current gear.

Arathi Basin will also provide compelling rewards at Level 60. Each armor type will have a three-piece set available, offering a decent upgrade. Casters, in particular, will benefit from access to potent spell power weapons, such as the spell power dagger, which rivals the Azuresong Mageblade dropped in Molten Core.

Onyxia Attunement Chain

The Onyxia Attunement quest chain is notable for its length, offering access to the Onyxia'a Lair upon completion. Alliance players initiate this achievement in Burning Steppes with the quest 'Dragonkin Menace', which leads to subsequent quests culminating in 'A Shred of Hope'.

However, progression halts here as further advancement requires quest items from defeating the General Angerforge and Golem Lord Argelmach in Blackrock Depths - currently unavailable because of their revelry in the Grim Guzzler. Unfortunately, Horde players cannot commence this achievement yet, necessitating patience until the next phase.

Farm Demonic Runes

For mana players, acquiring Demonic Runes should be a priority. While you might currently feel that mana isn't a concern, recent statements have highlighted the importance of managing mana as a crucial gameplay element. This implies that mana will once again become a valuable and finite resource in Phase 4, especially considering that raid encounters are likely to be lengthier.

Given this context, stockpiling Demonic Runes is advisable. Unlike other mana potions, Demonic Runes do not share a cooldown, making them a versatile resource. Although they share a cooldown with Mage mana gems, they can still prove useful for Mages during prolonged fights.

Profession Planning

The next thing you could be preparing is professions. While we currently cannot get many of the high-level recipes that drop from certain dungeons or raids, we can always be prepared by having our professions at the max level of 300 ready for Phase 4. With this, the chances are that any new craftable from your selected profession will probably require 300 to learn and craft.

If your profession is already at Level 300, you should instead be aiming to gather some materials for certain crafts. Some crafts have always historically proven to be very powerful and would be extremely hard to replace, even with new itemization. A great example of this would be the Lionheart Helm from Blacksmithing.

Some materials you could gather right now or even get from the auction house with your WoW SOD Gold while the prices are cheaper could be materials such as Arcanite Bar, Blue Sapphire, Azerothian Diamond, Wicked Claw, Mooncloth, various different Essences, and Golden Pearls.

There will be many more materials you could also aim to grab early, so I'd highly suggest looking into what you'd be able to craft in the coming phase and plan accordingly to your profession.

Get Honor Tokens

Preparing honor tokens for PvP advancement can be a wise move as you progress to higher levels. In the Blood Moon Stranglethorn Vale PvP event, you have the opportunity to accumulate these tokens, stacking them in anticipation of the upcoming WoW SOD Phase 4.

However, it’s essential to note that this event has undergone significant adjustments, particularly in terms of the tokens acquisition. Unlike before, where you could stack up to 250 Copper Blood Coins, now you can only stack up to 99 commendations, each costing 1 Silver Blood Coin.

Despite the nerf, accumulating these tokens remains beneficial. A boost of 25,000 honor can significantly aid your progression. Additionally, since the specifics of PvP rewards for the upcoming phase remain uncertain, having a head start in accumulating honor ensures readiness for any new rewards introduced.
