WOW Classic SOD: What New Content Will You Experience In The Upcoming Phase 5? - Overview Of Changes

If you think World of Warcraft Classic is an outdated MMORPG because it’s been out for a long time, you’re wrong - it just proves that you probably don’t know the game at all! The reason why it still holds an important position in the hearts of MMORPG players 20 years after its launch is that it keeps up with the times. Obviously, since WOW Classic was established earlier, it may be technically difficult to keep adding new content to it, so the game has launched several related standalone servers, such as Era and 20th Anniversary, as well as WOW Classic SOD. Season of Discovery is the second seasonal launch of the original game, released in November 2023, and Phase 1 was released on the same date, and then new phases will be released every 2-3 months. Although Phase 7 is currently underway, it is almost over and Phase 8 will soon arrive, so we decided to give you some preview information before then. When Will Phase 8 Be Released? According to the latest official news, Season of Discovery Phase 8 will officially start on April 8, 2025, and more playable content will be gradually opened on April 10, two days later. It is worth noting that if you have played SOD or other WOW Classic servers, you will know that almost all the playable content in the past phases has appeared in the original game, but the new content of SOD Phase 8 is completely original! In fact, you may have had a hunch when experiencing Phase 7, because the new content of Phase 7 is Naxxramas and Karazhan Crypts, and the former is actually the last raid in the original game. So if WoW SoD continues to run, the subsequent content you will meet should be basically original content. What New Content Will It Bring? As you know, Phase 8 will open new content in batches on April 8 and 10. The updates on the 8th mainly include new outdoor content, professional content in New Avalon, and quests related to Scarlet Enclave. The updates on the 10th are Scarlet Enclave raid and Legendary weapon questline. It is expected that you will be able to obtain a lot of WOW Classic SOD Gold and even some extremely precious gear by completing these quests or events. New Avalon As the main launch position for various new events in Phase 8, you must know the specific location of New Avalon, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out subsequent activities. The area is located east of Tyr’s Hand in Eastern Plaguelands. There are some hostile Scarlet Crusade mobs around, but you can avoid them as long as you equip Scarlet Uniform. After entering Tyr’s Hand, follow the path and turn left when you reach the cathedral. Next, you will see a gate, and then you can find the entrance to New Avalon at /way 81.6, 57.8 in Eastern Plaguelands. Scarlet Enclave Raid Evil forces have taken over Scarlet headquarters in Tyr’s Hand, and you must destroy them before they can expand their influence! To do this, you will need to join a team of 20 to 40 players and take on eight bosses in this raid. Although this raid is original to SOD, some sources expect you to encounter some familiar faces in it, such as a living version of Forsaken leader Lilian Voss. In fact, all raid bosses, including her, are dangerous, such as Dreadlord Balnazzar and Scarlet Inqusitor Caldoran, so if you want to earn WoW SoD Gold through the raid, you must prepare everything with your teammates. Scarlet Enclave raid is expected to start with Unrest at Tyr’s Hand quest, which can be claimed by Leonid Bartholomew in Revered at Light’s Hope Chapel in Eastern Plaguelands as long as you complete Scarlet Activities quest. Continue to a small cave in Eastern Plaguelands and gather your party at the meeting stone outside the cave entrance to begin exploring. Although we can’t tell you exactly how to complete this raid yet, we can confirm that this cave is located in the mountains outside Scarlet Base Camp at the coordinates (67, 85). Also note that although the NPCs in Scarlet Base Camp are not hostile, they are not completely friendly after talking to them, so you need to be careful. Legendary Weapon Questline This questline is expected to be available to Warriors, Hunters, and Paladins. As for what the specific “weapon” is, although it has not been officially announced, it is likely to be the iconic Ashbringer two-handed sword. According to WoW SoD PTR, you may need to go to Mount Hyjal to purify the weapon after obtaining it through this questline. Mount Hyjal in the game is also the location of World Tree, Nordrassil, and the second Well of Eternity. In the past, the demon lord Archimonde in WarCraft 3 was killed here. Later, this place was added as a raid in Burning Crusade and as a zone in Cataclysm. In this SOD Phase 8, Druid NPC Thisalee Crow will appear on Mount Hyjal for the first time. The above is the most noteworthy part of WoW Classic Season Of Discovery Phase 8. I hope our introduction can help you start the Phase 8 journey smoothly after April 8! Wish you good luck!

Just today, WoW Classic SoD Phase 4 was officially released. Since PTR, players have discovered many new runes that make each class very different. Currently, each class will have three new runes available. Runes can be placed in your equipment slots and provide powerful passive effects to your character. But will these new rune changes make your class easier or more difficult? This guide only introduces you to these new runes, which require you to explore them yourself in WoW Classic SoD Phase 4. Let time prove it. Druid Improved Swipe When in cat form, you can increase your swipe ability; while swiping in bear form can increase damage by 100% and hit 3 additional targets. Tree of Life When activating this rune, you will reduce the mana consumption of all continuous healing skills by 20%, and increase the healing received by friendly forces by 10%. In addition, it increases Druid’s spirit by 25% and Druid’s armor by 200%. Starfall When you use Starfall, you can summon up to 20 meteor showers over 10 seconds, dealing Arcane damage to enemies within 30 yards of you. There is a 90-second cooldown while using this passive, and CC effects, mounting, and shapeshifting are canceled. Hunter Improved Volley While activating this passive, you will increase the mana cost of Volley by 50%, but the cooldown of this skill will be reduced and it will no longer be affected by the enemy’s counterattack wave. In addition, Volley will deal an additional 3% ranged damage each time. Resourcefulness While this passive is active, you will greatly reduce the mana cost of Reduces, up to 100%, and the cooldown will be reduced by 40%.

Overheat It fires a Fire Blast that can deal critical hits. Best of all, it can be cast with other spells and is not affected by the global cooldown. Frozen Orb It fires a spinning orb of ice from where you stand, and you have a 16-second fast movement time. While moving, the orb deals Frost damage to all enemies it passes by, and casts a frost effect that slows them down by 30%. Additionally, the first time this enemy is damaged by you, not only will their movement speed slow down, but they will also trigger Fingers of Frost rune. Paladin Shield Of Righteousness In addition to blocking damage, the shield can be used to slam the target, dealing Holy damage based on your defense, and an additional 214 damage.

Priest Binding Heal This effect heals you and your allies, and has a very low threat. This spell benefits primarily from Flash Heal, and also increases all of Flash Heal’s effects. Soul Warding This is your Power Word. During this effect, your shield no longer has a cooldown, costs 15% less mana, and even gains 15% more base value. The most exciting thing is that you will gain 50% more healing. Vampiric Touch It will cause Shadow damage to the target enemy for 15 seconds, and also make all your party members gain 2% of Shadow damage as mana. Rogue Blunderbuss This skill will fire a blast of muskets at 4 enemies in a cone in front of you, causing a lot of Physical damage. Crimson Tempest This is also a finishing skill that you can choose to end the game. It can directly cut enemies within eight yards, causing them to lose health continuously. The longer it lasts, the more damage it will cause per combo point. In addition, you can also benefit from all talents and effects of Rupture or modify Rupture. Fan Of Knives This will cause you to throw both of your weapons at any target within 5 yards, increasing your weapon damage by 5% when using a dagger. Shaman Storm, Earth, And Fire This will reduce the cooldown of your Chain Lightning by 100%, and Earthbind Totem will lock you in place for 5 seconds, and using Flame Shock at this time will cause 60% increased periodic damage.

Coherence This will reduce your Chain Heal effectiveness by only 35% and your Chain Lightning effectiveness by 20% on each jump. In addition, each jump will also jump to an additional target. The above is some of the new rune changes in WoW Classic SoD Phase 4. There may be some new runes added to other professions, which you need to explore on your own. I wish you a happy exploration in WoW Classic SoD Phase 4!

The difference between modern WoW Classic and original classic is that it has Seasons of Discovery. This allows players to see and experience new content while continuing their journey through game. Today, I will give you some tips to help you level up quickly in SOD Phase 4. Quest Line The level cap for Phase 4 is 60. Quests will start with Nightmare Incursion and go up to level 53, and you can complete 16 quests in about 20 minutes, which will be one of the fastest ways to level up. Sunken Temple is now turning into a level-up rate, and it will give about one level of experience. After that, you will be doing quests, and completing dungeons. There are a lot of new dungeons that will unlock in Phase 4, and you can visit Upper Blackrock Spire, Lower Blackrock Spire, Blackrock Depths, Mage SOLO Strat UD Farm, and new Ashenvale dungeon. There will be an attunement questline according to WAD, which will provide more details. Also, remember that bosses above level 55 will drop Tarnished Undermine Real once a day, which can be redeemed at Vendor in Booty Bay for exciting 0.5 questline. Traditionally, 0.5 questline is some of best gear you can get before Molten Core is unlocked, and perhaps a lot of players will go farming. This questline starts as early as level 58. You must first obtain tier zero parts that can be upgraded by delivering a pair of tier zero bracers to your faction’s major city, and you need to obtain these parts from dungeons. You will farm in Phase 4 are Hydraxian Waterlords Timber Argent Dawn and PvP reputations, all of which will provide some previous items for your class. Get Advanced Equipment Among them, Thorium Brotherhood will have some very good fireproof items, and you may need them to kill Molten Core at heat level three. Argent Dawn and Timber Mall faction quartermasters vendors allow players to exchange basic versions of crafting reputation items they previously offered, along with some other appropriate materials, for high-quality versions of the same items. They also changed all items from these vendors to BoP, so you actually have to earn them yourself, rather than buying them from auction house. Arathi Basin, exalted, will have Priest Weapons for many, while Warsong Gulch will have bracers attunements. Task Arrangement Of course, you have to complete Molten Core and Onyxia Attunement questlines and Ashenvale questline when you find them, and remember that Alliance’s Onyxia is different. Horde raid Sunken Temple still has some of previous mini-class items, which are helpful for leveling up. So you’re better off doing it twice a week. World boss is now instanced. Zeros and Kazics will be available on July 18th, and these two raids will reset twice a week on Tuesday and Saturday. Onyxia will be available on July 25th, which will also reset twice a week on Tuesday and Saturday. Then Molten Core will also be available on July 25th, and this raid will reset every Tuesday. Molten Core The most exciting thing about SoD Phase4 so far is heat level of Molten Core. Heat level will represent the difficulty, and before you enter zone, you will be able to decide at which difficulty you want to complete Molten Core, which may be a fire resist mechanic, or a mechanic added for each boss. So you need a lot of fire resist to complete it, and there is also a confirmed 11th boss that has been added to Molten Core. Now it’s just a matter of seeing what happens with Priest. There are over 500 updates and new items in SOD Phase4. Priest is one of the most exciting times to play World of Warcraft. You need to upgrade your previous items and figure out best route. This way you can go into Molten Core and World Bosses with best gear, and you can do the highest amount of DPS PVP in Blackrock. PVP events will happen every 2 hours, and players will get many daily tasks. These quests will reward you with Thorium Brotherhood and Hydraxian Waterlords Reputation. This will be the best way to get Hydraxian Waterlords Reputation until Molten Core opens up. And you’ll want to make sure you can put out fire so you can summon Ragnaros at level 10 at the end, which looks very competitive as it offers two very powerful sets of rewards. Some players will want to mix this with their 05 questline set. Both set rewards will probably stack, which will allow people to have two of each set class from stage 1 to stage 2, giving them an extra 40 or 50 spell power. Unlocked Items You’ll get some of best items in SOD by going through these levels, and there will most likely be another quest chain to complete. To unlock these modes, so keep an eye out for these guides when you find it, Epic mounts are now available in game at level 60. You can also upgrade your STV mount to an epic version of STV vendor for 800 SOD Gold, and if you have a Neuron mount, you can also upgrade it at Neuron vendor for same price. Don’t forget extremely rare Baron Mounts you can farm from Stratholme Undead runes, they’ll pop up ring slots giving you weapon skills when you find them, and cloaks will give your class three or four new abilities. Hopefully, this guide will help you in your battles for SoD Phase 4!

As we all know, WoW Classic Season of Discovery brings a lot of new content to players in each phase. Well, Phase 4 is no exception. In addition to the new level-up Raids converted from the original dungeons, another new content is added: Demon Fall Canyon. As the highest level dungeon in WoW SoD, Demon Fall Canyon is naturally different from other ordinary dungeons. To enter Demon Fall Canyon, you need to go through a lot of hardships. So this guide will introduce what you need and how to unlock Demon Fall Canyon. Demon Fall Canyon Prerequisites First, for the level, if you want to explore Demon Fall Canyon and unlock its quest line, you must meet level 55 and above, and you must complete Wild Offerings questline in Phase 3-The Wild Gods. Even Shadowtooth Emissary in Emerald Sanctuary will not offer you the attunement quest Demonic Deceptions if you are not level enough. Likewise, if you are level enough but have not completed The Wild Gods, you will not get Demon Fall Canyon attunement. Shadowtooth Emissary can only be made a vendor after you meet the above two conditions, so both are required before you can unlock Demon Fall Canyon attunement. How To Unlock Demon Fall Canyon? Step 1 After you get Demonic Deception’s quest from Shadowtooth Emissary, the emissary will also tell you more about some strange events in Loa. This time your task requires you to defeat the demon Mannoroth in Grommash Hellscream and save Orcs from his fel blood. The emissary will also ask you to use an Owlbeast Pineal Glands to craft an amulet to dispel the illusions in this area, and will send you to Winterspring when you are ready. Owlbeasts in other areas will not drop this high-level item. Only Owlbeasts living in the high-level Winterspring will drop it, and there are also designated Owlbeasts - Berserk Owlbeasts, Moontouched Owlbeasts and Crazed Owlbeasts. The first two Owlbeasts have only a 25% to 30% chance of dropping Owlbeast Pineal Glands, and the last one has a very low drop rate or even no drop. You need to kill at least 6 of these Owlbeasts, and after completing it, you need to return to Emerald Sanctuary. In addition, the best place to collect Owlbeasts is north of Everlook. Step 2 After you get Pineal Glands and give them to Shadowtooth Emissary, in return he will give you Shadowtooth Illusion Ward and a bunch of SOD Gold as a reward for completing Demonic Deceptions quest. Shadowtooth Illusion Ward looks like a trinket, but it will get you used to all the new WoW SoD Phase 4 dungeons. When you are ready, start to head there, but you will find that Demon Fall Canyon is not in Felwood or Winterspring. So where is it? Demon Fall Canyon is located in the southeast of Ashenvale. You may think it is a bit far, but fortunately, it is not far on horseback. Step 3 As mentioned above, Demon Fall Canyon is located in the southeast of Ashenvale. So you need to look for a gray rift in the southeast on the map. Once you find it, you will find that it is very close to the location of Splintertree Post, only a few inches. The entrance to Demon Fall Canyon is just north of this gray area. But some players may wonder, why can’t I see it? Remember to check your gear slots. If you don’t have Shadowtooth Illusion Ward equipped, you won’t be able to see the portal to this dungeon. In addition to yourself, you must also make sure that everyone in your team has equipped Demon Fall Canyon attunement trinket. After confirming that everything is correct, you can enter the dungeon portal, which means entering the most exciting new Phase 4 dungeon. Although theoretically you can enter at a minimum level of 55, it is not recommended to enter Demon Fall Canyon at only level 55 because of the difficulty of this dungeon. Once inside, you can safely remove Demon Fall Canyon attunement trinket from the equipment slot and replace it with your regular equipment. However, every time you want to re-enter, you will need Demon Fall Canyon attunement trinket, which is equivalent to a key. Bosses In Demon Fall Canyon Grimroot is the first boss you encounter in Demon Fall Canyon. Turn left at the first fork in the path and after clearing all the trash along the way, you will find this hovering Mourning Guardian. If you want to make the fight easier, remember to clear all the trash in Grimroot’s patrol before starting the fight. After you finish fighting Grimroot, continue forward, and you will find Destructor’s Wraith. Don’t worry about this fight, as it is also a very simple one. After defeating the above two bosses, you can go back to the main road where you first entered the dungeon and you will encounter Zilbagob. It is very cute because it is an imp driving a Goblin Shredder. Continue back to the dungeon and you will see Memorial for Grommash. Turn your head to the right and follow the path up, remembering to clear the trash on the road as with the first boss. Once you reach the top, you will enter Demon Fall Barrow and you will also see Pyranis. During your battle with Pyranis, it will summon a lot of Summon Dread Fungus and Summon Dread Lasher, which you need to keep clearing. After the battle, continue to go deeper into Barrow Den and walk to the end. There you will meet Dreadlord - Diathorus the Seeker. It should be noted that this battle will have two stages, so please increase your defense and health attributes. After you defeat Dreadlord, go out of a portal in the battle room and you can return to Monument of Grommash and meet Hellscream’s Phantom. The above is some detailed information about Demon Fall Canyon. I hope this guide can help you with your exploration and wish you a happy exploration!
