With this patch, several gameplay improvements are added, along with some events for collecting items and the Void Forge system to increase the level of weapons and trinkets and obtain additional loot from Mythic+ and more.
General updates
🛣️ Illuminated route for tanks in M+
In Mythic+ dungeons, enemies required to complete the dungeon percentage are now highlighted (this is a preset base route, currently not “dynamic”). This feature works automatically up to +5, while for higher keys it must be activated by speaking with the NPC Lindormi, near the Mythic portal in Silvermoon. It is available to anyone playing as a tank.
🐎 Old mount of your choice with 3400 rio
If you reach a Mythic+ score of 3400, you obtain an item (Timelost Saddle) that lets you purchase a mount from old mythic achievements that are no longer obtainable (official list on Wowhead). You can unlock only one mount per season, so there’s no need to use multiple characters.
🏹 Sheathed or invisible weapons
You can choose whether to display your character’s weapons sheathed on the side, on the back, or make them completely invisible.
☔ Outfits, time of day, and weather
You can choose for your transmog to automatically change based on the time of day and weather. You can also quickly switch transmogs you’ve created by typing /outfit in chat followed by the transmog number (1, 2, etc.) depending on how you arranged them.
🐲Dragonflight LFR raids
Added the NPC Luka Ferad in Valdrakken that allows access to the LFR mode of Dragonflight raids.
Void Forge
🧿 What it does
Provides two items: one to obtain a bonus piece of gear from various activities (including Mythic+ and raids), and one to upgrade weapons and trinkets to item level 298.
❓ How to unlock it
Talk to Decimus in the Netherstorm area and complete the questline (purple triangle on the map) Building the Void Forge, which requires collecting shards from raid bosses, Mythic+, or bountiful delves. Progress is shared across all characters.
💰 Bonus loot (Nebulous Voidcore)
This item is obtained every 2 weeks and can be used at the end of content to gain bonus loot at the highest level that would normally drop in the vault. For example, using it at the end of a +10 grants a random Myth track item from that dungeon. If you use additional cores in that same dungeon later, you’ll get loot you haven’t already obtained. It can also be used in raids (costs 2 cores), bountiful delves, and nightmare bounties. It is purchased with gold, Veteran crests, and Midnight currency (Voidlight Marn), but you cannot exceed the weekly cap.
🗡️ Item upgrade to 298 (Ascendant Voidcore)
Can be applied to an item already fully upgraded (Hero 6/6 or Myth 6/6) or to an item already forged at maximum quality. These are obtained from Mythic+, raids, bountiful delves, and nightmare bounties.
Ritual Sites
🏛️ What they are
They function similarly to delves, with objectives explained on screen and a final boss. Only one is active each week in Eversong Woods or Zul’Aman (weekly rotation). Dying after the first two times progressively reduces final rewards, though not below half. There are multiple levels and challenges (like affixes) that make progression increasingly difficult.
❓ How to enter
They appear as a purple diamond icon on the map: simply go there and enter, just like delves.
☄️ Challenges (affixes)
Adding more challenges allows access to higher-level Ritual Sites (e.g., 4+ challenges = level 5). Challenges include avoiding tentacles, interrupting spirits, sudden enemy spawns, disabling obelisks that empower enemies, pools under corpses, more enemies, patrols, and empowered packs.
🎁 Rewards
Hero-tier gear and cosmetic items (list on Wowhead).
Abyssal Anglers
🐟 What it is
An endlessly repeatable activity where you harpoon fish and find underwater treasures in Zul’Aman. You can encounter creatures of various levels, including Mythic and Legendary, to gain more currency (Fisher’s Pearls). You have three abilities: a speed sprint, a harpoon, and surfacing. If you run out of oxygen before surfacing, you receive fewer rewards, so remember to use the surfacing ability. The more points you earn (through various objectives), the more rewards you get. The NPC Depthdiver Jeju sells upgrades to find better fish.
❓ How to participate
Talk to the NPC Depthdiver Jeju on a small island northeast off the coast of Zul’Aman to start the introductory quest and join the activity.
🦈 Mechanics
The scoring table can be found on Wowhead. Before catching a fish, you must remove all its shields (scales) one harpoon hit at a time, with help from other players. Swimming through schools of fish grants bonus points. You can interact and fish underwater from certain bubbles. Using nets (purchasable) allows you to catch small creatures on the seabed. Treasures and relics grant additional points. Oxygen starts at 100, can be permanently upgraded, and is lost when attacked by aggressive fish (which can also stun you), but can be recovered by swimming through bubbles emitted by certain elements.
🎁 Rewards
Cosmetic items (list on Wowhead).
Decoration Duels
🏺 What they are
Two teams (5v5) face off: one hides, the other seeks (two rounds of 3 minutes each, teams swap roles). Hiders disguise themselves as decorations. If discovered, they receive a debuff that marks them on the map, which can be removed by staying still for a while, but the seeker can tag them in the meantime and eliminate them from the round. To win, all hiders must be found. In case of a tie, the team whose members stayed hidden longer (combined duration) wins.
❓ How to enter
Go to Group Finder (green eye icon) > bottom tab Player vs Player > Quick Match > select Decoration Duels > Join.
👀 Seekers
There are three “classes” of seekers (all use energy): Arcane Hunter reveals in an area, deploys a sentinel, can go stealth; Nullifier reveals in front or in an area, can blink forward; Spellbreaker reveals in front or leaps and reveals targets
😶🌫️ Hiders
They occasionally “whistle” unintentionally, revealing their presence, and if they stay still too long they begin to become visible. Their abilities include disguising, swapping position with a decoration, stunning nearby seekers, and creating a trap with a decoration. Traps are chosen at the start of the round and include: a fake whistle, a slowing zone, a zone that speeds up hiders and pushes away seekers, and a “march” of fake decorations that also blinks you forward with them.
🎁 Rewards
Cosmetic items (list on Wowhead).
Void Assaults
👾 What they are
In Eversong Woods and Zul’Aman, temporary world quests (Void Strikes) appear in sequence where enemies must be defeated. Each completed assault fills a progress bar by 5%, eventually triggering a Void Incursion. The incursion involves building barricades, defeating waves of enemies, and a final boss.
❓ How to unlock them
Simply complete the quest Void Strikes from Ranger Captain Lilatha in Silvermoon.
