WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Phase 3: Developers Announce Release Date And Content

As a long-standing but still very popular old MMORPG, the commemorative craze brought by the 20th anniversary celebration of World of Warcraft, which began in 2024, has been successfully continued to this day through Classic 20th Anniversary server and will continue to receive updates! In order to ensure that WoW Classic 20th can continue to attract new and old players to join, the game will be released in 6 phases in sequence. Currently in progress is phase 2, which started on January 9, but soon you will usher in the exciting phase 3 on March 20. The core new content of phase 3 is expected to be Blackwing Lair and Darkmoon Faire. Fortunately, we have brought you information about Blackwing Lair based on predictions not long ago, so this time we will focus on helping you prepare for the experience of Darkmoon Faire. What Is Darkmoon Faire? You can think of Darkmoon Faire as an event in WoW 20th Anniversary, which is usually held once a month and is open in only one place at a time - the location usually rotates between Elwynn Forest and Mulgore. There are many exotic merchants who will travel with Darkmoon Faire’s owner Silas Darkmoon to bring you goodies that you can’t usually see. At that time, you will be able to exchange the goods you want through WoW Anniversary Gold or Darkmoon Faire tickets. Specific Opening Time Of Darkmoon Faire The opening time of the faire is usually scheduled on the first day of each month, and it is guaranteed to be Monday as much as possible, so it may start setting up at the end of the previous month or even open directly. If you want to participate in this event, you must pay more attention to the key time nodes. Since the opening time of phase 3 of WoW 20th Anniversary is March 20, this time it may be opened in advance on the basis of the end of the month to allow you to experience it. Generally speaking, Darkmoon Faire will arrive at the corresponding location on Friday and start setting up on the weekend, then open on next Monday, and last for a week until the next Sunday. It should be noted that during the faire setup period from Friday to next Monday, although you will see members busy setting up, you cannot participate in it. If you are afraid of missing the event, don’t worry, the crier Melnan Darkstone from Ironforge and Kruban Darkblade from Orgrimmar will announce the arrival of the faire for you after Darkmoon Faire opens. How To Find Darkmoon Faire? Darkmoon Faire will only be held alternately in Elwynn Forest and Mulgore, the former is located near Goldshire and the latter is southwest of Thunder Bluff. It is worth noting that the specific route to go will vary depending on your faction identity. Horde Players Route If you are a Horde player, it will be easier to reach Darkmoon Faire when it in Elwynn Forest. The following is a specific route that can avoid Alliance guards: Go to the airship platform in Ogrimmar or Undercity and take the airship to Grom’gol Base Camp in Stranglethorn Vale. Once you reach Grom’gol, walk northeast from the camp. Turn left at the first T-junction and continue north until you pass through Duskwood. You may find a small Alliance guard camp near the intersection of the east and west roads on the right side of the road. You can turn west to avoid this, but be careful not to turn onto the road. Instead, walk north between Duskwood and Raven Hill Cemetery. You will then encounter a river, with the estimated coordinates being around Duskwood 30,24. Cross the river to enter Elwynn Forest. Continue walking north, keeping Maclure Vineyards on your right, and you will soon see Darkmoon Faire site.  Alliance Players Route If you are an Alliance player, you may encounter Horde guards when going to Darkmoon Faire in Mulgore, but it’s okay as long as you are more careful. The route we recommend next is more suitable for Alliance players above level 40, because it is more timesaving but risky, and low-level players may not be able to deal with it. Once you reach Menethil Harbor in Wetlands, take a boat to Theramore. Once you reach Theramore, head northwest into Dustwallow Marsh, then west toward Barrens. Once you enter Barrens, head west, then north on the main road, and when you see Camp Taurajo, turn west toward the mountains, and just south of Camp Taurajo, take the other road west to Mulgore. Shortly after entering Mulgore you will see a small dirt road heading north, just east of a pond, keep the pond to your left and follow it until you find the road north again, and then you can enter Darkmoon Faire. Darkmoon Decks And Cards This should be the item you should focus on when participating in Darkmoon Faire event. Because at the market brought by Darkmoon Faire, there are some epic items that can only be exchanged through Darkmoon decks and cards. Once you have the cards, you will need to assemble them into 4 decks and present them to Professor Thaddeus Paleo in Darkmoon Faire. These 4 decks are: Beasts Deck Elementals Deck Portals Deck Warlords Deck We hope that this information will help you have a great time playing Darkmoon Faire once phase 3 arrives. Thank you for reading.

When you are in World of WarCraft, the first stage of the game is always the most difficult, because at this time you have neither enough XP to help your character become stronger through upgrading, nor powerful gear to arm and protect yourself, everything is waiting for you to go to the starting area to explore. Therefore, the choice of starting zones is crucial. In 2024, WoW Classic launched its 20th Anniversary server, allowing you to experience new areas and new content, and feel the sense of achievement of upgrading from scratch in the classic version again. Since you may not have played WoW Classic for a long time before this, and the game itself has also undergone some adjustments, in order not to affect your WoW 20th Anniversary upgrade experience, you must choose your starting zones carefully. Based on this, we have ranked the 6 zones in the game from low to high. And introduce them to you one by one. If you want to know which one is the best, please see the end! 6. Teldrassil This is the habitat of the popular Night Elf, but it is not a good starting zone because once you leave Shadowglen, you will find that the rest of Teldrassil is full of dangerous tomb nests, which are inhabited by many monsters. Although clearing them can bring a lot of 20th Anniversary Gold, the high density of monsters is not suitable for a new character to face. In addition, due to the circular shape of Teldrassil, you are rarely far away from your target, which makes it difficult to avoid enemy attacks by pulling away in combat. However, these are not to say that Teldrassil is useless. In fact, it may be the best of all the starting zones in terms of aesthetics, and due to its small overall area, it will save time to explore - provided that you are strong enough to defeat all enemies within range. 5. Mulgore One reason why Mulgore is unpopular may be that Tauren race living here is not popular. Even if someone chooses Tauren, it is probably because it is the only Druid in Horde. However, what really affects the popularity of Mulgore is that although it is beautiful, it is very large. If you don’t have a mount, it may take half an hour to visit each location, and because the quests are scattered, you may even have to run all over the zone. Even more tricky is that the danger of crossing between areas in Mulgore is also very high. For example, when you reach the wasteland, you may not be able to guarantee that you can survive smoothly, whether in Hardcore or Classic 20th Anniversary. However, the advantage of Mulgore is that the scenery here is good, and the strength of Tauren is enough to handle most quests within the range. 4. Dun Morogh In terms of the beauty of the landscape, Dun Morogh is famous in the game community for its moving snow scenery. If you choose this as the starting zone, although it takes a lot of time to cross the entire zone, fortunately, the exploration of Ironforge and the mountains is not very difficult, and the quests can provide a lot of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold as rewards, and the difficulty is not too high. Although there are a few dangerous caves in this zone, it is much better than Teldrassil or Mulgore, and the connection between Ironforge and Stormwind also makes the journey between areas easier. In addition, it is recommended that you go to Loch Modan to upgrade your character level before reaching Westfall. 3. Tirisfal Glades The areas in this zone have a high quest and monster appearance rate, which can improve your gold farming efficiency. Among all the areas, Deathknell is the fastest and easiest, and the spider cave is more difficult. But after leaving Deathknell, you will find that the road to other areas will be tortuous, and you may always have to go back. Perhaps this is the main reason Tirisfal Glades did not enter the top 2. 2. Durotar This is the starting area for Orcs and Trolls. It is vast and very difficult to cross. Fortunately, the quest density here is very high, which can ensure that your journey is fulfilling and meaningful. You can knock down three or four enemies during almost every trip, and most of the quests are also simple, just clean the map or collect some props. In addition, Durotar’s Ragefire Chasm, as the lowest level dungeon in the game, can still provide you with some excellent equipment at a lower difficulty. However, please be careful of Fizzle and his gang, as well as Skull Rock when traversing Durotar. 1. Elwynn Forest In fact, not only in World of WarCraft series, Elwynn Forest can even be regarded as the most famous explorable zone in most MMORPGs. For WoW 20th Anniversary players, the exploration difficulty here is not high. There is almost no real threat except for Hogger or some kobold caves. You can even get your first green out in the game through Hogger’s quest. As for the density of quests, Elwynn Forest is even more comfortable. You will find that the quests are evenly distributed between the west and the east, and there are enough vendors to help you manage your luggage during the journey. At the same time, the difficulty of the quests is not high. Although the long journey between the east and the west may make you tired, it is relatively short compared to the walking routes of the lower-ranked zones. Perhaps after understanding the above ranking information, you will be more willing to choose top 1 as your starting zone for WoW Classic 20th Anniversary, but in fact you can also enter those zones with lower rankings but more difficult to challenge yourself!

It’s been a while since WoW Classic 20th Anniversary was released, so how’s your character leveling while revisiting Classic? If you’re looking for the best way to level up quickly, then don’t miss us! Whether you’re a new player who just got into the game, or an old player who’s planning to start over with an alt character, this guide will help you reach the highest level in the shortest time! Let’s get straight into it! Preparation Before you start leveling, there are a few things to mention that can help you level up faster. First, let’s talk about Heirlooms. Now, they no longer provide any XP boost. However, if you level them up to level 70, they do save you time by not having to deal with changing gear all the time. Now, this may actually be the only reason you want to get Heirlooms. If you don’t have this problem, we don’t recommend wasting your WoW 20th Anniversary Gold on it. Now, there is also a potion called Draught of Ten Lands. This potion gives you a 10% XP boost and is only available up to level 49, but it still works after level 49. If you are Alliance and Dazar’alor, or Horde, you can get it in Boralus for five medals. In addition, WoW 20th Anniversary also gives us the classic Timewalking Dungeons. These dungeons are very simple, and completing them will give you a lot of XP. Now, the best part is that they are immediately available at level ten. This means that you can visit Timewalking Dungeons every week, which is great for leveling up characters. Then, there is also a new achievement in the game, which is a bit like the old Heirloom. This achievement basically gives you an increased XP buff for your entire account, and every time you bring a character to the level cap, your account will get a 5% buff. Sadly, the cap is now 25%, hopefully they will remove the cap so that people with a lot of max-level characters can go crazy! Finally, I guess you also want to check out Darkmoon Faire. It’s available every first Sunday of every month and gives you an extra 10% boost. Now, with all these XP boosts, let’s get started with leveling. Levels 1-10 First, let’s emphasize that this section is only for those who don’t plan on leveling up an Allied Race, since those characters are already starting at level 10. Now, when you create a new character, you can choose to level up in your race, the starting area, or Exile’s Reach. I highly recommend starting with Exile’s Reach because this is basically a newer beginner area that you can get through very quickly. And it’s a small area where you can complete some simple quests and pick up some WoW 20th Gold and treasure along the way. The best part is that Exile’s Reach can be completed in under an hour, and depending on your class, it could be even faster. Levels 10-20 After completing Exile’s Reach or creating an Allied Race, head to Anniversary area in Tanaris to get an extra 10% XP boost, then grab Pet Mirror and use it on your pet. There are two methods we can use to reach level 20. The first is by completing Timewalking Dungeons, as we mentioned before, these dungeons reward a ton of XP, and the queue times are pretty good right now. While this may change over time, at the moment even as a DPS, it only takes 2 to 5 minutes of queue time, which can help you farm XP very efficiently. The only downside right now is that you can get stuck in a group if they don’t know what to do, and especially for tank characters, you can spend quite a bit of time in a dungeon. So if you’re the only class that can tank, and you know what you’re doing, then I highly recommend trying the other method, which is to queue up as a tank and farm dungeons all the way to level 20. That way when you don’t feel like sitting in queue forever or dealing with people, you can just start quests in Legion timeline. First, we have to go to Codex of Chromie and select Legion timeline, then we need to do quests around in Azsuna or Val’sharah until we reach level 20. It’s worth noting that Dragonriding is now available from level 10, which means we can fly from one mission to another very quickly. In addition, if you find Legion Invasions on the map, be sure to complete all the world quests in the invasion area, they will give you a lot of XP and allow you to reach level 20 in a short time. Levels 20-50 Next, the first thing you have to do to reach level 50 is to enable War Mode to get an additional 10% XP boost. With War Mode enabled, we will be able to use Chromie time to level up in the old classic areas. It is recommended that you can go to the Cataclysm timeline, because there are a lot of simple tasks in these old areas that can be completed quickly. What’s more, because we can now access Dragonriding immediately, it usually only takes about 2 and a half hours for Alliance characters to complete all the tasks in Redridge Mountains and Loch Modan and reach level 50 and above. Like we said before, your level may vary depending on your XP gain, but reaching level 40 and above should not be a problem. Also, previously we mentioned Draught of Ten Lands, which is only available until level 49. But here’s a trick: if you drink it before you reach level 50, the buff will refresh and remain active. This means it will continue to work even after level 49. Now, Horde characters can do quests in Silverpine Forest, Hillsbrad Foothills, and then Arathi Highlands or Hinterlands areas. This is basically how to get past level 50 quickly. With all XP buffs, you can basically reach level 50 in less than 3 hours. Levels 50-60 After completing all the quests in the three areas we mentioned earlier, we want to go back to Chromie and re-select our timeline. Now, regardless of your faction, you will want to complete the introductory quests because they can be completed very quickly and will give you a lot of XP. After completing the entire quest, however, it is recommended that you continue to do quests until your Garrisons are set up. After that, you can fly directly to Gorgrond simply by completing Gorgrond’s introductory quest and three side quests. If you don’t get the 25% XP boost you get from leveling five characters to the top, just keep completing Gorgrond’s side quests and bonus objectives until you reach level 60. It took us a total of three hours of playtime to reach level 60, not including the time it took to set up XP buff at the beginning. If you’re fast enough, maybe your Draught of Ten Lands won’t expire yet! But anyway, at the end of the day, it all comes down to what you enjoy most. There are many ways to level up quickly, but if you don’t like the idea of ​​quickly completing quests or the leveling area I recommend, then go to another area. Whether it’s queuing for dungeons or taking on bosses, do whatever you want, because eventually you’ll still reach level 60. The most important thing is that you’re still doing what you want to do in WoW 20th Anniversary and enjoying it. Hope you have a great day!

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.
