The anniversary event began on November 6, and lasts until November 27, the day beforeDragonflightdrops.RELATED:World of Warcraft Player Reaches Level 50 In 4 HoursAmong the many events forWorld of Warcraft’sanniversary, several old world bosses spawn around Azeroth. These bosses drop their original loot, much of which has semi-unique appearances, but tuned to item level 272 so it can beused while leveling inDragonflight. Among the bosses, the infamous Doomwalker can be encountered in Tanaris, where he also drops the Doomwalker Trophy Stand toy and Illidari Doomhawk mount with a 100% rate. Players can also hunt down Lord Kazzak in the Blasted Lands, Azuregos in Azshara, and the Dragons of Nightmare in Duskwood, the Hinterlands, Ashenvale, and Feralas depending on which of the four dragons spawn that day.
Players can get a quest to defeat the Doomwalker fromWorld of Warcraftfan favorite bronze dragon Chromiein the Caverns of Time, and to defeat the other bosses from their faction capitals. These quests reward 150 Timewarped Badges, which can be exchanged for special anniversary event rewards from the Caverns of Time. The bosses have daily loot lockout, while the quests themselves are weeklies.
While players are a little disappointedWorld of Warcraftdid not add much new content since last year’s anniversary event, it is mostly understandable considering it has been hard at work onDragonflight. Having an extra opportunity to earn limited-time gear, especially the Illidari Doomhawk, is also a good thing, as fans who have returned to the game forDragonflightmay not have had the chance to do so last year.
World of Warcraft’songoing 18th anniversary event will runconcurrently with phase two of theDragonflightpre-patchstarting on November 15.
