WoW Classic 20th Anniversar ...
All the new content for Phase 3 of WoW 20th Anniversary has been available since April 3, and if you’ve been playing the game, you’ve probably already completed some of it, especially if you’re already familiar with WoW Classic. However, there is still some time until the release of Phase 4, and even all of us don’t know the exact release date yet. So what should you do in the time between Phases 3 and 4 when you’ve completed all Phase 3 quests? Maybe expanding your mount collection would be a good idea! In fact, the collectible gameplay of WoW 20th Anniversary is very popular because there are so many types of collectible items, including transmogs, mounts, pets, and so much more. But the biggest collectible market is probably mounts. Perhaps at the beginning of World of Warcraft Classic, players collected mounts mainly to save time traveling between regions, but now in WoW 20th or other servers, mounts are more about decorating your character’s appearance, enriching your collection and making your account more valuable. Based on this, we will introduce you to the 5 mounts that are still very valuable in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary. 1. Horn Of The Frostwolf Howler (Stormpike Battle Charger) Although there are two names and two forms, you can actually think of them as the same mount, because you can only get one of them according to your faction. When you reach the exalted status in your PVP reputation in Alterac Mountains, you can get this mount, and Horde players would get Horn Of The Frostwolf Howler and Alliance players got Stormpike Battle Charger. Fortunately, it is easier to obtain reputation and WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold than in the past, so getting this mount is not as difficult as in the original game, as long as you ensure that you complete the fixed tasks. 2. Mounts For PVP Rank 11 As the name suggests, this is also a mount that is closely related to your performance in PVP mode - you can only get it when your PVP level reaches 11, and the prerequisite is that you have to go to the faction’s representative in Alterac Valley PVP area and exchange it for 100 gold. The reason why this mount is considered rare is that PVP level upgrade process is relatively difficult, and it takes time to earn gold. So if you want to get it, you must complete all the tasks in PVP mode carefully. 3. Rivendare’s Deathcharger From the outside, you may think that Rivendare’s Deathcharger is almost the same as most of the skeleton horses that will appear in WoW 20th Anniversary dungeon, nothing special. However, its real special feature is that it does not restrict the identity and faction of the rider, and has a strong universality. For example, unlike Horn Of The Frostwolf Howler, which is limited to Horde players, However, the tricky thing is that it is also difficult to obtain this mount. It will only drop from the boss named Baron Rivendare in Stratholme raid. Although it is not difficult to find and defeat this boss, the probability of him dropping Rivendare’s Deathcharger is very low, even less than 0.1%! What’s more, when playing a raid, there are so many companions in your team, even if it drops, it is difficult to decide who owns the mount. This is why less than 1% of players in the original game used to own Rivendare’s Deathcharger. 4. Black Qiraji Battle Tank To get this mount, you need to accumulate a lot of WoW 20th Anniversary Gold and other related resources in advance, and work together with your friends to open Gate of Ahn’Qiraj, to successfully enter Temple of Ahn’Qiraj and Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj. The whole process is actually a very long quest line, and only after completing it and obtaining Scepter of the Shifting Sands can you get Black Qiraji Battle Tank as one of the final rewards. The trouble is that this mount is only available within a 10-hour window, so if you miss that time or take too long to complete the quest, you will miss it. In addition, any player on the server can start this window, so you may never know the exact time it happens. This makes it almost impossible to complete this quest, and the rarity of Black Qiraji Battle Tank is even higher. 5. The Original Epic Mounts From the original game to WoW Classic 20th Anniversary, this mount has always been considered the rarest in the entire game series because it requires 1,000 gold to redeem and requires your character to reach level 60. Although you can definitely do this by working hard to accumulate WoW 20th Gold, after all gold has other more important uses in the early game. After the release of patch 1.4 of the original game, you can also exchange this mount for new mounts with armor, and you should also be able to do so in WoW 20th Anniversary, but the real value is the original version mounts. The above 5 mounts are just rarer, so if you just want to increase your travel speed by mounts, you can definitely consider other easier-to-obtain mounts. But if you are a veteran player who wants to enrich the game collection, it is definitely worth working hard for these 5 mounts!Apr-08-2025

WoW Classic 20th Anniversar ...
On March 20, the first part of WoW 20th Anniversary Phase 3 was officially launched! New content in this part includes Blackwing Lair raid, level 50 class quests, Warsong Gulch reputation lists, Eternal Quintessence, and Darkmoon Faire. I wonder how you have completed them? If you haven’t started yet, you must hurry up, because the second part will open Arathi Basin for you! In the second week after the start of Phase 3, WoW Classic 20th will continue to bring new changes on April 3, such as the cancellation of PVP honor rank 11 cap, and the most important resource battle that will be launched in Arathi Basin! Considering that you may not be very familiar with the original game before, we will introduce you to some things to know about fighting in Arathi Basin in detail. WoW Classic 20th Arathi Basin Arathi Basin in WoW Classic 20th Phase 3 will officially open on April 3 at 3:00 PM PDT, where you will be able to join other players in a 15-on-15 resource battle. The winning team will not only ensure that everyone has the opportunity to win WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold through fighting, but also win more opportunities for their faction to continue to grow. To make your team win, you must hone your team coordination skills with your teammates, so that you have a chance to capture and hold five different bases on the map in the battle to accumulate resources. It is worth noting that the starting point of the battle will be different depending on your faction: Alliance players will start near Stables at Trollbane Hall, while Horde players will start near the Defiler’s Den farm. After that, the first team to collect 2,000 resources wins. Here is a more intuitive list of Arathi Basin gameplay: Number of players: 15 vs. 15 Level range: 20+ Capture points: Farm, Mine, Blacksmith, Lumberyard and Stable Resources required to win: 2000 Arathi Basin Battleground Strategy The above is the overall idea of playing Arathi Basin battle in WoW 20th Anniversary Phase 3, but in order to minimize the confusion you will encounter when April 3 arrives, we will introduce more relevant information further. What Is Arathi Basin? Arathi Basin is located in Arathi Highlands. Due to its special geographical location and rich resource storage, Alliance and Horde have long used it as one of the main positions for competing for natural resources. The zone first appeared in the original game in patch 1.7 in 2005 as a control point battlefield and the associated factions are The League of Arathor and The Defilers. How To Enter Arathi Basin? If you don’t want to be lost when all your teammates have gathered, you need to figure out the route to Arathi Basin in advance. If you are an Alliance player, the entrance is at 45.4, 44.2 Sanctuary, and for Horde players, the entrance is at 73.7, 29.3 north of Hammerfell. Or you can find 6 Arathi Basin Battlemasters in the main cities of the game and queue up to enter Arathi Basin. Keras Wolfheart: Darnassus, Warrior’s Terrace, 58, 37 Donal Osgood: Ironforge, Military Ward, 70, 89 Lady Hoteshem: Stormwind, Stormwind Keep, 78, 17 Deze Snowbane: Orgrimmar, Valley of Honor, 79, 29 Martin Lindsey: Thunder Bluff, Spirit Rise, 28, 21 Sir Malory Wheeler: Undercity, Royal Quarter, 61, 93 How To Accumulate Resources As Quickly As Possible? In order to accumulate 2000 resources before the enemy team, you must work with your teammates to occupy all resource nodes completely as quickly as possible and protect them from being recaptured, because when a resource node is completely controlled by you, it will not only generate a certain amount of resources at a fixed time but also the more nodes you control, the faster the resource generation speed. If you can occupy all 5 resource nodes, the resource generation speed can even increase tenfold. It is worth noting that these nodes do not belong to any faction before the battle begins. After that, you and your teammates can start from your starting point and expand your influence to the following areas: Stables: Nearest Trollbane Hall in the north. Gold Mine: Northeast corner of the map. Blacksmith: Center of the map. Lumber Mill: Southeast of the map. Farm: Closest to Defiler’s Den in the south. What Are Resource Node Flags? In order to show the ownership status of the current resource nodes to all players clearly, these nodes will be equipped with flags in three different states: White flag: This is the starting state of the flag, indicating that neither side has claimed the node. Gray flag marked with Alliance or Horde symbol: This means that one party is attacking the node and is waiting for the original occupying party to fight back. Alliance blue flag/Horde red flag: Indicates that the node has been attacked and occupied by a faction and has begun to generate resources. If you want to capture the flag, you or your teammates need to attack any unclaimed or contested/occupied flag and gain control by guiding for 8 seconds. However, if you are damaged or stunned by the enemy during this period, the 8-second attack will be interrupted and you must start over. After the 8-second channel is completed, the flag of the node will be contested. If 60 seconds pass without being attacked by the enemy again, the node will be considered occupied by you and start generating resources for you. But if the enemy can successfully defend the flag, the corresponding node will remain under the control of the enemy. I believe that after reading our introduction, you will feel more comfortable in the battle for Arathi Basin in WoW 20th Anniversary after April 3. Wish you good luck!Mar-26-2025

WoW Classic 20th Anniversar ...
World of Warcraft is a very different place than it was two decades ago. The 20th Anniversary of WoW Classic brings quality-of-life changes to the game, such as a Looking for Group tool, removal of the game’s original buff/debuff limit, and Dual Spec options, which allow classes to switch specializations, such as the ability to switch from frost to fire. This guide will help you choose the best class to secure a raid spot in Molten Core with these changes. 9. Druid In WoW Classic, Druids have a variety of role abilities, including tanking, healing, and damage. However, in actual gameplay, other classes tend to excel in these areas. As a result, most raid teams usually only use one or two Druids. Despite this, Druids still have some important spells, such as Mark of the Wild, Innervate, Faerie Fire and Rebirth. These spells are very useful in team fights, providing additional buffs and resurrection opportunities for teammates. Druids also perform well in PvP. They are considered one of the best flag bearers on Warsong Gulch because of their travel form and ability to escape crowd control. 8. Paladin Paladins also can tank, heal, and deal damage. Again, they tend to perform worse than other classes in actual gameplay. As a result, it is difficult to find a tanking or damage-dealing Paladin in most teams. And leveling up a Paladin is considered one of the most monotonous processes. Many players choose to spend WoW 20th Anniversary Gold to speed up this process. Despite this, Paladins bring very important buffs to the team, such as Blessing of Kings, Blessing of Might, and Blessing of Wisdom. And when you are in danger in PvE or PvP, Paladins can protect themselves and even Hearthstone from danger while being protected from enemy attacks. 7. Shaman The actual strength of Shaman is healing. While Enhancement or Elemental Shamans excel in PvP, Restoration Shamans are more common and powerful in PvE content. Restoration Shamans provide massive healing via Chain Heal. Their totems are even more critical. Windfury Totem boosts melee damage, while Mana Tide Totem helps teammates restore mana, so teams often have multiple Restoration Shamans. 6. Hunter Hunters often forget to disband their pets and accidentally pull extra mobs, ruining their team. Despite the imperfect pet AI, Hunters still provide solid damage, usually in the middle of the damage scale, slightly behind melee classes. Hunters also have unique utilities, such as Aspect of the Pack to increase team movement speed, and Explosive Trap and Freezing Trap to increase control. In addition, Feign Death can help Hunters escape battles in PvE and PvP. Hunters are reliable all-around damage dealers in WoW Classic. Just pay attention to pet management. 5. Warlock Warlocks primarily deal damage with Shadowbolt in endgame content, but with the debuff restrictions removed, their other spells like Corruption and Drain Life will also see more use in Classic Anniversary. Warlocks have increased flexibility, allowing them to play a bigger role in raids. Classic Warlocks are also known for their pets, summoning a variety of pets from an imp to a succubus. The spell Soul Link is very powerful in PvP, transferring damage to pets, while sacrificing Voidwalker to provide a temporary shield, and Fear spell is also effective in crowd control. 4. Mage Mage is the strongest caster in Classic, with a simple rotation that usually only requires casting frostbolt, which may make some players feel too simple. But this simplicity makes Mage rank high in most damage statistics. Mage also performs well in PvP, using Frost Nova and Polymorph to keep enemies at a distance. Mages also provide utility to the team, such as summoning food, water, portals, or teleporting to large cities on their own. In addition, Mage’s Arcane Intellect buff can increase the intellect of himself or his teammates. 3. Rogue In World of Warcraft Classic, Rogue is the high-damage melee class second only to Warriors. Accumulate combo points through Sinister Strike and Backstab and then deal heavy damage with finishing moves such as Eviscerate and Rupture. Rogue can also increase attack speed with Slice and Dice. Rogue can also apply various poisons, such as Instant Poison and Deadly Poison to weapons, providing additional damage. In PvP, Rogue uses Stealth and Ambush to surprise, and has control skills such as Gouge, Cheap Shot and Blind, as well as Vanish to escape from battle. 2. Priest Priest is a top healer in both PvP and PvE. Priests have a variety of healing spells, such as Flash Heal, Greater Heal, and Renew. Holy Priests’ Power Word: Fortitude buff increases stamina, and Discipline Priests’ Power Infusion increases spell damage and healing. Priests also have powerful utility skills, such as Fade, Psychic Scream, and Dispel Magic. In terms of damage, Shadow Priests increase the shadow damage taken by enemies through Shadow Weaving, and Vampiric Embrace can damage enemies and heal teammates at the same time. 1. Warrior Warriors occupy most team positions. As the strongest tank and damage dealer, Warriors are also very powerful in PvP, especially when equipped with Mortal Strike and a wonderful healer. With key skills such as Sunder Armor and Battle Shout, Warriors are suitable for any serious content. The only downside is their reliance on equipment and weapons, as well as their high maintenance costs, as they wear plate armor and are often in melee range, which requires a lot of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold to repair after a raid. By mastering the unique skills of each profession, you can earn a place in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary and contribute to your team. Finally, you can also enter the giveaway channel of iGMeet Discord and pay attention to the game giveaway information to get some free props.Dec-17-2024

WoW Classic 20th Anniversar ...
With the 20th anniversary, World of WarCraft series launched a new anniversary server on November 21: WoW Classic 20th Anniversary, and it is progressing smoothly. As a result, you will find that many new characters can also take this opportunity to level up in the early game. Although the leveling process of WoW Classic is slow, with the 20th Anniversary version, you can actually level up faster than usual if you choose the right zone. WoW series has many zones covering the entire two continents, but not all of them provide you with the same leveling bonus. Although the new zones brought by WoW Classic 20th Anniversary may make you want to try to challenge those less common zones, if you also plan to reach the end of the game as soon as possible, those destinations that provide rich trials and allow you to get a lot of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold and XP drops can speed up the process. Based on this, we will provide you with some valuable references for choosing zones for leveling up. What Are The Characteristics Of The Zone Suitable For Leveling Up? In fact, all great leveling zones have their own characteristics. Leveling in WoW Classic used to rely more on defeating monsters to gain XP, which was reflected in the quest design as a variation in killing and gathering quests. Quests are a luxury for zones, and not every zone has the same number of quests that can provide you with monster grinding. In WoW series, one of the core components of a good leveling zone is many quests, because only in this way can you be guided and rewarded enough XP. And unlike zone balance and the ever-increasing WoW leveling speed, zone selection can make the standard glacial speed feel less overwhelming. Now to further improve the efficiency of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary zones, top questing zones will have both high quest and monster density. And since you can’t unlock ground mounts until level 40, if you want to pick the best leveling zone, you also need to consider the amount of travel - quests and objectives are best when they can be put together. In fact, by minimizing downtime, you can easily flow between quests and zones. Don’t forget to make sure you’re also leveling up your professions as you travel between zones, as keeping professions in sync with your character level can minimize backtracking to save you time. Best Leveling Zones For Horde Players If you’re a Horde player, then after leaving the three starting zones, it’s recommended that you prioritize The Barrens as your next destination. Not only is it the most classic leveling zone in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary, it’s also full of rich and challenging content and supports level 10-25. It’s worth mentioning that The Barrens chat is also one of the most active chats in the history of WoW series, because there are so many quests, players, and content here. In addition, another benefit of The Barrens is that it is the first dungeon worth entering as a Horde player, and it’s just a few minutes away from your initial quest center. In The Barrens, Hillsbrad Foothills is a solid choice to fill the level gap between quests. Nearly every quest is located in the central hub, Tarren Mill: Shadowfang Keep is located in nearby Silverpine Forest, which can provide you with some nice early-game gear if you’re an intellect user; the West Needles zone in Thousand Needles can fill the level gap in The Barrens, as it’s close to The Barrens. Best Leveling Zones For Alliance Players Since Alliance zones were created earlier, you’ll find that you’ll feel more guided when choosing a leveling zone if you’re an Alliance player. After completing the three respective starting zones, Elywnn Forest, Teldrassil, and Dun Murough, you can head to Westfall. Westfall is essentially a perpetual autumn farmland besieged by bandits, with iconic visuals and storylines. Of course, it also has a surprisingly large density of mobs and quests to keep you leveling up, as well as access to loot-rich Deadmines. Before you head into Deadmines, though, don’t forget to complete the long quest chain starting with The Defias Brotherhood to get a huge chunk of Classic 20th Anniversary Gold. Westfall has a lot of plot lines that are intertwined with the surrounding zones of Duskwood and Redridge. So not only can you easily move between zones to make up for level gaps, but you can also get attractive rewards after completing the related quests. In fact, there is a lot of fluidity between the three zones, and if you want to level up quickly as an Alliance player, it’s best to find a way to get into these three closely connected zones as soon as possible. Obviously, depending on which faction you play, there are different zones suitable for you to level up quickly in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary.
