WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 6 Timeline
Though the phase itself arrives on November 21, the Scepter of the Shifting Sands questline will open up on November 12, over a week ahead of time. The War Effort itself runs from phase launch through November 29, while the two-day war against the Qiraji takes place from December 4 through December 6, after which the Temple of Ahn’Qiraj, Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj, and Nightmare Grove will become available. Fans who finish the Scepter of the Shifting Sands during this 48-hour period will earn the Black Qiraji Battle Tank –one of the rarest mounts inWorld of Warcraft.
The Ahn’Qiraj war effort is one of themost memorable moments inWorld of Warcrafthistory. It was one of the first instances where the Alliance and Horde came together towards a mutual goal, and marked the fall of the first ofWoW’s Old Gods. Now, players can experience this iconic event in Season of Discovery.
After Ahn’Qiraj, Naxxramas will be the only vanillaWoWraid that hasn’t been added to Season of Discovery yet. However,WoW Classichas teased something big coming to Season of Discovery– and it doesn’t seem to be anything from Phase 6.World of Warcraft ClassicSeason of Discovery has at least one more phase to go after Phase 6, and between Naxxramas and whatever “larger than life” encounter Blizzard has planned, it will be an update fans likely won’t want to miss out on.
