What's Next for WoW Classic Season of Discovery?

Upon the release of Season of Discovery, Senior Game Producer Josh Greenfield and Lead Software Engineer Nora Valletta shed light on future updates and content related to World of Warcraft: SoD, including upcoming level bands, raids and PvP events.

SoD Runes

Introducing an exciting new change to SoD, Runes allow WoW Classic players to collect and apply new class abilities directly to their equipment. Players will receive their first rune fairly early into the Season of Discovery, around level 2. As promised during BlizzCon, the game won't provide explicit guidance, encouraging players to explore on their own. In the initial 1-25 leveling bracket, each class will have 12 runes. Two-handed Enhancement Shaman rune will be available soon.

Next SoD Level Band

Moving into the next level band, from 25 to 40 lvl.

Blackfathom Deeps Raid

Josh Greenfield shares that the Blizzard team has been attentive to the feedback received after Blizzcon regarding World of Warcraft Classic. The Blackfathom Deeps Raid, though seemingly easy during its showcase at the convention, will pose a greater challenge upon Season of Discovery's release. The rewards are also increased for the initial level band.

Next Raid

Prepare for the next Season of Discovery raid at Gnomeregan, starting at level 40.

PvP Events

The WoW team is actively working to enforce factional balance on Seasonal servers. A zone-wide PvP event will take place in Ashenvale, followed by another in Stranglethorn Vale.
