WOW Classic SOD: How To Unlock Upper Blackrock Spire In Phase 4? - Locations & Tips

World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery Phase 5 went live on September 26. The remastered versions of Blackwing Lair and Zul’Gurub retain the original features while also making some modern adjustments, allowing players to experience the charm of these classic dungeons on retro servers. In addition, the new Crystal Vale raid is also a full of innovative design. With only a few endgame instances left in Season of Discovery waiting room, players are full of expectations for future content. WoW Classic SoD Phase 6 will be launched on November 21, and the development team has announced the new raids and activities that this phase will bring. Ahn’Qiraj War Effort will be launched, and Temple and Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj raid instances will be launched soon. In addition, players can also engage in continuous raid battles against four Dragons of Nightmare world bosses in Nightmare Grove. For many veteran players, the most anticipated event is the reappearance of the opening of Gates of Ahn’Qiraj. In Vanilla World of Warcraft, the opening of Gates of Ahn’Qiraj requires a large-scale operation involving all Horde and Alliance factions on the server. Players need to unite and buy SOD Gold to collect the necessary war supplies to repel Anubisath and Qiraji warriors. By completing a series of tasks, players can not only experience the exciting battle scenes but also can obtain valuable rewards. Especially for those players who are eager to own Black Qiraji Battle Tank, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity. Phase 6 Timeline November 12: Scepter of the Shifting Sands becomes available. November 21: Ahn’Qiraj War Effort begins at 1:00 pm PST globally. November 29: War Effort Ends. December 4: The war heralding Anubisath and Qiraji Warriors begins. December 6: Temple of Ahn’Qiraj, Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj, and Nightmare Grove open. Although the official technical update in WoW Classic SoD Phase 6 will be implemented on November 21, 2024, players can take the lead in the prologue of this epic adventure by launching Scepter of the Shifting Sands questline a week in advance. From the start of the phase to November 29, the entire server will enter a tense state of war preparation, and players need to work together to collect supplies and be fully prepared for the upcoming war. In WoW Classic SoD Phase 6 event, players will not only can earn gold and experience points but also increase the reputation of Brood of Nozdormu faction and the drop rate of rare items, making it an activity worth investing time in. In the upcoming War Effort, players will support your faction by carrying specific supplies to Valley of Spirits (Orgrimmar) and Military Ward (Ironforge). In return for these contributions, players will receive Commendation Signets, which can be used to increase the reputation of your faction. Fortunately, the required supplies are relatively easy to obtain, and many of them will be available to players as loot drops and auction houses. In addition, certain classes may have an advantage in collecting these supplies. Then, in just two days, from December 4 to December 6, a last battle against Qiraji will begin in full swing. Players who successfully complete Black Qiraji Battle Tank within 48 hours will be gifted Black Qiraji Resonating Crystal, which can be used to obtain Black Qiraji Battle Tank, which is not only the highest reward for your bravery but also one of the rarest and most coveted mounts in World of Warcraft, a symbol of supreme honor and achievement. Temple Of Ahn’Qiraj & Ruins Of Ahn’Qiraj With the end of the war, two raids, Temple of Ahn’Qiraj and Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj, will be available to players. Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj is a 10+ player raid for level 60 players located in Silithus, with six bosses waiting to be challenged. The more difficult Temple of Ahn’Qiraj is a large group activity with more than 20 players, including nine powerful bosses. Both raids will reset on a regular weekly basis to ensure that players can experience new challenges regularly. In addition, players can also enter a dungeon specifically for fighting Dragons of Nightmare, which is a brand new adventure experience. Ahn’Qiraj War Effort is undoubtedly one of the most memorable moments in World of Warcraft history. It marked the first time that Alliance and Horde united for a common goal to fight against the powerful WoW’s Old Gods. Following Ahn’Qiraj, Naxxramas is the last vanilla WoW raid that has not yet been added to Season of Discovery, and it is highly anticipated by players. However, it has been revealed that before Naxxramas, World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery will also launch a major update. This means that after Phase 6, there is at least one more phase of content waiting for players to explore and challenge. As WoW Classic SoD Phase 6 gradually advances, players will usher in more challenges and opportunities. In this world full of unknowns and dangers, only brave warriors can survive. Let us wait and see what surprises the development team will bring us! If you encounter any difficulties during the game, you can pay attention to Giveaway channel in iGMeet discord, discuss game strategies with more players in the discord group, and occasionally receive some WoW Classic SoD related game gifts.

On July 11, WoW Classic SoD Phase 4 was officially released, and many players are very excited about the new discovery content. Phase 4 of WoW Classic Season of Discovery brings players the last set of dungeons that you can grind during your level 50 to 60. The loot provided by these dungeons will be available until the end of the game. Therefore, you may end up running dungeons at level 60. This guide will specifically introduce you to Maraudon, which is explorable at level 50 to 52, and provides you with routes and some notes. Maraudon is a huge dungeon in WoW Classic SoD Phase 4, suitable for entering and grinding when you reach level 50 and above. The bosses here range from level 48 to 51 only, so you will deal with these enemies easily and provide yourself with a lot of experience. Routes You can enter Maraudon from three different locations, and the routes you and your team will take will depend on which entrance you enter from. If you want to start from the orange entrance, you can completely clear the dungeon. If you just want to clear all the bosses in the dungeon, you need to defeat Razorlash and enter the first large open area, then you can take a detour into the purple entrance and kill Lord Vyletongue. Finally, continue back to the main path, deeper into the dungeon. If you want to be more adventurous, you can start from the purple entrance and defeat Maraudos, which is also required to complete the Pariah’s Instructions quest. After entering, you will see a waterfall in the dungeon, where you need to take a narrow path and fight Tinkerer Gizlock. After the fight, continue up the slope path to defeat Landslide. From there, you can continue along the main path to Princess Theradras, and after defeating Princess Theradras, fall into the water and defeat Rotgrip. If you want to go all the way to the end without having to backtrack, you can completely skip Lord Vyletongue, Tinkerer Gizlock and possibly Landslide. These bosses that will cause you to backtrack are actually insignificant in the dungeon and can be safely ignored. Another popular route into Maraudon skips right up to the waterfall section of the dungeon, but only completes the last few bosses. This requires you and one of your group to have Scepter of Celebras, which is given to you when you talk to Celebras Redeemed in the first half of Maraudon. The advantage of this route is that it allows you to defeat the bosses in the second half of the dungeon more quickly, the most notable of which is Princess Theradras, who drops some very useful loot for certain classes and SOD Gold that all players love. This route is also the choice of some high-level players, as the monsters in the second half of the dungeon are a bit higher level. In addition, if you don’t need the loot in the first half of this dungeon, you can also use this route. Here, I need to remind you that there is no exit in Maraudon. If you want to leave, you need teleport or hearthstone to help you leave this dungeon. If you really have no other way, just log out and reset to return to the nearby cemetery. Enemies To Watch Out For Although in theory, you will be higher level than the enemies in the dungeon and will defeat them easily, there are still some that you need to pay special attention to. Creeping Sludge These slimy-looking sludges will frequently cause a lot of AoE damage to nearby enemies. When facing them, try not to get close to them, but use ranged weapons to knock them down from a distance. Barbed Lasher In addition to the area of damage effect, these monsters also have a knockdown effect. If the healer on your team stands too close to them, the healer’s effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Noxious Slime It’s actually not difficult for you to fight it, but after they die, they will leave a cloud of toxic gas on the ground. If you are not careful, you will be in danger. Subterranean Diemetradon These Diemertradons will cast Sonic Burst on you and silence anyone nearby for 10 seconds. Like Barbed Lasher, casters and healers in the raid should stay away from it. Princess Theradras As the final boss of Maraudon, Princess Theradras is much more difficult than any of the previous raids, so you need to know her skills in advance. Her Repulsive Gaze can be very scary for you and your raid, and she will also throw Boulder at distant targets, which will damage their raid casters and interrupt their spell-casting. When she casts Dust Field, everyone should stay away from her, otherwise they will take a lot of damage. This skill will also make it clear all obstacles in front of it, so have your raid tank and taunt her, otherwise she will hurt the lowest health among you. More Tips You need to have some ranged damage in your team to deal with Creeping Sludge, and for characters with healing skills. Because healers are very easy to get stuck in the crowd of enemies in Maraudon, it is beneficial to equip a few healing skills. In addition to equipping skills, you also need to determine what loot your raid needs. Some bosses drop very rich loot, but their locations are too remote. If no one wants their dropped items, you need to discuss whether to skip or move on. When you finally face Princess Theradras, remember to keep in touch. Princess Theradras may pose distinct threats to your team from different directions. If you are too scattered, it may be difficult for tank professions to regain hatred on the boss after Princess Theradras uses Dust Field. After understanding the entire route and precautions of Maraudon, do you have more confidence to face this relatively simple dungeon? Go to Maraudon with your team!

The fourth stage of the exploration season is now online, and the level cap of the fourth stage is known to be level 60. So how should we upgrade from level 50 to level 60? There are many different things to do, and I also want to share some tips and tricks with you in this guide. This guide will work all the way to the highest level, and it’s very easy to follow, and it takes about 1 minute to set everything up. It will automatically detect the profession you are playing, and it will also guide you through the best route to collect runes when you level up, and there will be numbers on your map, and a lot of different things to illustrate, and it will also guide you through the best route to reach level 60. But remember to use your Cozy Sleeping Bag when the cooldown is over, because this will increase your experience value by 3% for 2 hours. Level Up Through Dungeons One thing you can do is to level up through dungeons. The first dungeon is Blackrock Depths. As an Alliance player goes to Dunbar Row, in Careers section, you will find an NPC that will give you the first quest. Then head to Burning Steppes. There will also be quite a few quests there, and you will get a lot of extra experience and SOD Gold, and even items, one of which will have you go and kill Master, this NPC or this Elite can be found in front of dungeon entrance portal. So be sure to keep an eye out for this as your group is heading into the dungeon. As a Hardcore player, you can also pick up quite a few quests there. This location has a keyer. You can change your hearthstone to this location. When you have completed all the different quests, go back with your hearthstone. Both factions can also pick up quests and Burning Steppes. You can use your Hearthstone to go back to both factions, or you can pick up a quest and Burning Steppes, as this NPC is neutral. Another neutral NPC can be found when you enter a dungeon, pick up Attunement to the Core quest, which is required to coordinate Molten Core. By doing this, you will also gain experience and accomplish different things. Explore Lower Blackrock Spire Next, you can hit Lower Blackrock Spire, which is the same location as Blackrock Depths, or very close. At this tower you can pick up different dungeon quests, which have hidden quests. If you are not an experienced player, talk to this NPC and listen to the story, and you will get an item. If you head to Burning Steppes, there will be NPCs there that you can talk to get different quests. These quests require you to complete dungeon as a party of five, without converting them to a raiding group. As a Hardcore player, you cannot take this quest. The quest will tell you to go back to Burning Steppes, which will take you to the quest chain. Once you complete the quest, you will get an amazing Trinket as a reward. Hardcore Players’ Quest Journey Another important thing is when you level up as a Hardcore player, by going to this camp in Western Plaguelands, after picking up these quests. You can also go to the Eastern Plaguelands, where you can pick up other quests. These are neutral NPCs and are also quests right in front of the dungeon entrance. If you think this is too hard, then you can also do Stratholme here, where you can get many items. In fact, there will be many quests here, and at this point you are also getting closer and closer to level 60. If you still feel that you are not strong enough to complete Upper Blackrock Spire, then you can do Dio, for example, because in Season of Discovery Phase 4, every dungeon will be open. If you decide to go to Upper Blackrock Spire, then as an Alliance player, you must go to a certain city to pick up this pre-quest, and the quest will tell you to go to Burning Steppes. If you have already gone to Lower Blackrock Spire and got the quest letter, remember to start the quest as well, in case you gave up on it before as a Hardcore player. Next, you have to go to Badlands, where you can complete a quest, and you can also pick up another quest from this dungeon. The fastest way to level up is definitely to do quests, and you can also level up a little slower, but make a lot of money at the same time. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy exploring Season of Discovery Phase 4 and your journey to level 60.

After the exciting Phase 4, World of Warcraft Season of Discovery will usher in its Phase 5 on September 26. Although compared with the previous Phases, Phase 5 seems to lack some of the content that players are accustomed to-Level Cap and leveling zones, other aspects will bring players a completely different experience. In WOW SOD Phase 5, you will experience improved raids and equipment, PVP battlefields with better experience, and quality-of-life updates that player’s value most. This guide will introduce these changes to you so that you can be prepared for the official exploration. Two New Raids If you think that the bosses in the first few stages of WOW Classic SOD are very simple and no longer match your strength, then the new redesigned Raids in Phase 5-Blackwing Lair and Zul’Gurub will make you more excited. The loot lists in these two Raids have been completely revamped, with more gear and items that are more suitable for Season of Discovery, and SOD Gold will be much more than before. In addition, many bosses have been re-equipped, and you may have to develop some new strategies and combat techniques for them in Phase 5. For example, Blackwing Lair will adopt the same Difficulty system as Molten Core’s Heat system, which brings you more combat challenges. In Zul’Gurub, Hakkar boss fight has also been redesigned with a new encounter mechanism, in which you can choose the boss you want to challenge in Edge of Madness portion of Raid. This may seem to add a lot of challenges for you, but in fact, the combat experience you gain from it is very worthwhile. In the player community, many players are looking forward to WOW SOD adding some new 5-man dungeons in this phase. Although it is not known whether this proposal will be adopted at present, we can look forward to it. New World Boss: Thunderaan You may have already fought two World Bosses in Phase 4, Azuregos in Azshara and Lord Kazzak in Blasted Lands, and in Phase 5 they will both be in new dungeon areas in their original locations, and you can fight them again. In addition, there is a new World Boss added to the mix, called Prince Thunderaan. Unlike the previous two World Bosses, you do not need to complete Thunderfury questline in this phase to fight Prince Thunderaan directly, which greatly improves your convenience and makes it easier for you to get his loot and SOD Gold. Speaking of loot, Prince Thunderaan will drop the equipment that each Class needs before BiS, and there is even a SOD version of Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker, which has been greatly improved. In addition, the standard number of players for this battle is 20, but you can lead up to 40 players to fight this new World Boss. My advice here is to go with a larger group, the better. There is strength in numbers and you will have an easier time against bosses. New Runes And Easier Ways To Get Them In the tradition of WoW Classic SOD, each new phase will provide a new set of runes for each class to try, such as the addition of Ring Runes that provide specialization bonuses for characters and builds in Phase 4. So what will you get in Phase 5? From the information leaked so far, Phase 5 will add more useful Runes that can be used by multiple classes, so that you don’t have to rush when switching between multiple classes and save a lot of time to change Runes. In addition, you can also get more Runes in the endgame content of Phase 5. At present, we know that there are two new Ring Runes for healing - one increases mana regeneration and the other increases the amount of healing output. In addition, some runes will be swapped to new equipment slots, which will make it easier for you to enhance your build. But these are just speculations, and the specific Runes usage and properties will have to wait for the official release of Phase 5. Another new change to Runes is the currency. In Phase 5, you will first receive Rune tokens from Booty Bay SOD gear vendor Rix Xizzix, which are bound to your account. You will then need to give them to new vendors in the two capital cities to obtain rarer runes. These rare runes include runes obtained from Dark Rider Questline and Wild Gods vendor, as well as Ley Lines Runes. This new mechanic will be very useful for both new players who are just beginning to explore WoW SOD and veteran players who have explored several stages, making these rare runes easier to obtain. The above are some changes in WoW Season of Discovery Phase 5. I hope you will be satisfied with the changes brought to you by the developers in the official version of September 26. If you have questions about Phase 5, you are welcome to ask in iGMeet Discord, where many players will be looking forward to it with you. You will also have the opportunity to win some Gold in it. I wish you a happy game!
