WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Boosting

WoW Classic 20th Anniversary is currently in its 6 phase, Shadow of Naxxramas. The first undead invasion battles took place in Silithus and Eastern Plaguelands, where Horde and Alliance clashed.

Following this event was WoW's most famous expansion, The Burning Crusade. The dark titan Sargeras led his army to invade Azeroth. Undoubtedly, many players have been eagerly anticipating WoW TBC Classic.

However, we can only confirm that it's coming, not exactly when. It might arrive in December 2025 - or worse, sometime in 2026. So, should we wait for WoW TBC Classic or play WoW Classic 20th Anniversary to prepare?

Play Now

Starting WoW Classic 20th Anniversary now will allow you to prepare in advance and be in better shape for the arrival of WoW TBC Classic.

Hoarding Gold

Pre-patch events typically last only 2–4 weeks, making it difficult even for new players with experience boosts to complete leveling, gear progression, professions, and gold farming within that period. Many players underestimate the significant amount of gold needed to remain competitive in TBC.

To get off to a good start in TBC, you'll need approximately 20,000 WoW Classic 20th Anniversary gold for your each character. This money needs to be used for flying mounts, epic flying mounts, early-game high-quality gear, enchanting, and consumables. If you start taking a few hours each day grinding gold now, you can accumulate the necessary gold before the patch.

Additionally, a large influx of returning players is expected once the pre-patch date is announced. If you hoard resources in advance, you can sell them when the large influx of returning players earns you a huge gold profit.

Social Advantages

If you start leveling now, you can join guilds or make friends early, building your social network before the pre-patch influx. Having a stable group of friends means you can participate in current Endgame Raids and acquire gear helpful for TBC leveling.

Another crucial element is a stable guild for future TBC Raids; joining now ensures your raid team spot.

Nostalgia Value

This is also your last chance to experience the authentic WoW Classic. After the pre-patch, the game's mechanics and atmosphere will change permanently. You can enjoy the classic leveling experience at your own pace, without crowded areas.

If you want to play WoW, there's no need to wait for TBC Classic. Nobody knows how long the wait will be, and even after the current content has been available for some time, the server population remains substantial, ensuring a great gaming experience.

Wait For The Pre-Patch

Waiting for the pre-patch is perfectly reasonable, as it significantly increases player numbers and provides various catch-up benefits, saving considerable leveling time.

Accelerated Leveling

The pre-patch greatly improves overall efficiency. The total experience required to level from 20 to 60 is reduced by 15%, and the experience gained from all quests is increased. Additionally, all elite mobs are converted to normal mobs, making questing routes - especially those involving elite zones - smoother and faster.

Furthermore, TBC Classic increases the number of available quests and slightly tweaks some Dungeons, making them faster to complete and improving item drop rates. The level required to obtain a Mount is reduced from 40 to 30, significantly reducing early-game map exploration time. All of these factors accelerate the leveling process. Overall, the leveling time from 20 to 60 will be shortened by approximately 35%.

Furthermore, data mining indicates that TBC Anniversary will probably introduce a character level boost service (not free), and it will most likely be released alongside a pre-patch.

Class Changes And New Talents

TBC Talents and spell updates will make leveling many classes faster, with shorter health and mana regeneration times.

This makes AoE leveling more efficient for mages, as Blizzard is affected by Haste stat in TBC, and Mana Shield absorbs all types of damage, not just physical damage.

New Race Unlocks

The pre-patch will unlock the new Horde race, Blood Elf, and Alliance race, Draenei. This means both factions can choose the new Paladin and Shaman classes. Players can immediately experience the new Starting Zones, which have excellent storylines and good loot.

Quality Of Life Updates

Meeting Stones will be reworked, and only two players need to be near the stone to summon the entire party to the dungeon entrance.

This makes entering low-level dungeons like Dead Mines or Blackfathom Deeps incredibly convenient, eliminating the need for long journeys. The early availability of Jewelcrafting profession will also align with TBC Gem System.

Community Atmosphere

As one of World of Warcraft's greatest expansions, the pre-patch will attract a large number of returning players, making the servers very lively. Various events will be held, providing a fresh experience for both veteran and new players.

PvP Gear System Changes

TBC Classic will naturally add gear catch-up. PVP epic gears (up to Rank 14, including weapons, sets, and trinkets) will be directly exchanged for gear using currency in TBC. This makes it easy to acquire an epic set even without participating in any raids, making TBC leveling process much smoother.

Whether you choose to wait for TBC or start playing WoW Classic 20th Anniversary now, there are good reasons for both. If you plan to prepare in advance, you can play multiple characters at the same time, rotating between them. This way, you can avoid getting burnt out on a single class and keep the leveling journey fresh.

With Phase 6 starting, the undead are beginning to overrun Azeroth, and Silithus and Eastern Plaguelands are now under their control! Currently, World PvP is open in these two zones for WoW Classic 20th Anniversary. Champions of both Horde and Alliance can defeat the undead threat in these zones to earn honor and benefits for their faction!

World PvP quests in Silithus and Eastern Plaguelands differ in their formats and rewards. Horde and Alliance players can choose which zone to participate in based on their needs.

Eastern Plaguelands World PVP Guide

How To Play?

The goal of PvP in Eastern Plaguelands is to compete for control of up to four towers: Crown Guard Tower, Eastwall Tower, Northpass Tower, and Plaguewood Tower. Controlling a tower grants bonuses to the faction, which in turn increases damage against hostile undead in the zone.

• Horde quest available: Emmisary Gormok
• Alliance quest available: Emmisary Whitebeard

Tower capture is similar to a seesaw battle. To capture and maintain control of a tower, the faction must have more PVP-enabled players on the same side (type /PVP_ON in the chat). When the capture bar reaches full, the faction has successfully captured the tower.

Buffs And Rewards

Each tower controlled increases your faction's damage against undead (1% for one tower, 5% for four towers). This buff applies to all members in Eastern Plaguelands and Stratholme, but not within Naxxramas.

In addition, each tower has unique effects:

• Crown Guard Tower: Located in the southern part of Eastern Plaguelands, controlling the tower grants the faction access to a graveyard north of the tower, making it easier to respawn there after a death.
• Eastwall Tower: Near Light's Hope Chapel. Controlling this tower will periodically send NPC reinforcements to Northpass Tower (regardless of whether Northpass is controlled or not).
• Northpass Tower: To the north, this tower contains an interactive object that grants a 30-minute +5% hit chance buff when used by a player of the same faction.
• Plaguewood Tower: To the northwest, controlling this tower unlocks a Ghost Flight Master, allowing players of that faction to quickly travel between the four towers on a special flying mount, allowing for rapid reinforcements.

Strategy

World PvP in Eastern Plaguelands clearly requires strategic considerations. The four towers provide different benefits and therefore have varying importance.

Defending Towers

Crown Guard Tower is the easiest tower to defend. Because of its close spawn point, even if it is destroyed, it can be quickly returned to the battle line. It's a costly undertaking for the opposing faction to capture, but once captured, it's virtually impossible to lose, making it a highly recommended tower.

Plaguewood Tower is highly strategic, providing quick support to the other three towers and effectively strengthening their defenses.

Offensive Towers

Northpass Tower provides a significant hit chance bonus, while Eastwall Tower helps your faction capture Northpass Tower.

The importance of towers is ranked Crown Guard Tower > Plaguewood Tower > Eastwall Tower > Northpass Tower. However, controlling multiple towers simultaneously can sometimes be more valuable than defending a single tower, especially when targeting an enemy tower in a vulnerable position.

Silithus World PVP Guide

How To Play?

PvP quests in Silithus are distinct from those in Eastern Plaguelands. The primary focus here is item collection. Silithyst geysers are scattered throughout Silithus map. Players can interact with them to collect Silithyst.

Once a player collects Silithyst, they are marked as PvP players. While carrying Silithyst, their movement speed is slowed, though some speed-up abilities are generally still usable.

While carrying a Silithyst, players cannot use mounts. If they take damage while carrying Silithyst, they will drop it, creating a Silithyst Mound on the ground that other players can pick up. Each player can only carry one Silithyst at a time, so after collecting it once, they must return to deliver it before they can collect it again.

Each faction has a Silithyst Extractor on Silithus, where players must bring their harvested Silithyst back for delivery. The first faction to reach 200 Silithyst deliveries is considered victorious, gaining the victory status and associated regional buffs.

Rewards

Personal Rewards

For individual players, each Silithyst delivery grants +10 Cenarion Circle reputation and 198 Honor Points. After delivering Silithyst, players also receive a buff called Traces of Silithyst, which lasts for 30 minutes and increases melee and spell damage by 5%. Successfully completing the entire quest will earn you rewards including experience, potions, and WoW Classic 20th Anniversary gold.

Victorious Faction Rewards

When a faction reaches the 200 Silithyst delivery mark first, they gain a Cenarion Favor bonus in Silithus region and Ahn'Qiraj Raid, increasing Cenarion Circle reputation gained from monster kills by 25%.

This bonus persists for the duration of the faction's victory until the opposing faction completes its 200 Silithyst delivery and reclaims victory.

Silithus PVP Strategy

Compared to Eastern Plaguelands, Silithus PVP is significantly more ruthless. It doesn't encourage you to diligently complete transport tasks, but rather encourages you to intercept other players. Therefore, this PVP mission requires cooperation from your team, and you should keep in mind the following points:

Escort

Players carrying Silithyst are often limited in speed and easily intercepted, so organizing an escort is crucial. Members with speed and stealth should handle transport, as well as conduct sneak attacks and interceptions.

Interception

Ambushes are most likely to occur in the middle (about the same distance from both Silithyst Extractors) or near your team's delivery point. Escort members should secure these areas in advance. If your team approaches the victory delivery point, you can send more members to disrupt the opposing team.

Although the rewards for these two world PVP missions are relatively modest, the two factions are evenly matched, making this mission highly engaging.

While there's no level limit for participating in this PVP event, players with higher levels and speed-boosting gear will clearly have an advantage. There is reliable and plentiful supply of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary gold on sale at IGGM, which you can use to acquire PvP-appropriate gear on the auction house.
