Patch Notes

WoW Weekly: Midnight Pre-Expansion, Legion Remix, Classic Anniversary, and More!

The Midnight Pre-Expansion content update is near—learn what you need to do to prepare, spend your Bronze in Legion Remix before time runs out, Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary Edition launches in February, and a new dawn breaks at the January Trading Post. Every week brings thrilling new adventures and loot, so rally your allies and forge your legend in Azeroth!


What to do Before the Midnight Pre-Expansion Content Update

The War Within storyline is winding down to its conclusion as we approach the beginning of World of Warcraft’s next chapter in Midnight. Before we turn the page on your next adventures, you’ll want to complete activities from around Khaz Algar before many of their rewards are no longer available when the pre-expansion content update goes live and The War Within Season Three ends on January 20.

Everything you need to know can be found in our previously published article.


Legion Remix: Spend Your Bronze Before Time Runs Out!

Like sand through the hourglass, time is running out before the timeline in Legion Remix collapses. Before that happens, make sure to get in there and spend your Bronze on the items you want most to add to your collections before January 19.

While a vendor will remain available to purchase Legion Remix Housing decor items afterward, purchasing them during Legion Remix offers the best value!

Once Legion Remix has ended and the Midnight Pre-Expansion Content Update is live, players will still be able to purchase Legion Remix Housing decor items from Val’zuun in The Underbelly in Dalaran (Broken Isles). You’ll need both Veiled Argunite (earned from activities on Argus) and Order Resources to purchase from him, however.

More details, including the cost of items, can be found in our article


WoW®: Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary Edition Launches on February 5

Prepare to tread once again through the Dark Portal and into the fel-scarred realm of Outland with the WoW®: Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary Edition on February 5 at 3:00 pm PST globally, and included with your WoW Subscription or Game Time.

Your journey continues with a level increase to level 70, an increased level cadence, three challenging Raids, two playable races, Guild Bank, and a slew of other features.

Beginning January 13, after each regional scheduled maintenance, the Pre-expansion Patch will be released. Each character must choose whether to advance onward to WoW®: Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary Edition or move to a Classic Era realm by January 12.
