WOW Classic SOD Phase 8 Release Date And New Content: You’ll Get To Experience More!
If you think World of Warcraft Classic is an outdated MMORPG because it’s been out for a long time, you’re wrong - it just proves that you probably don’t know the game at all!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!

WOW Classic SOD: Are You Re ...
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.Nov-17-2024

WoW Classic SOD: Few New Ru ...
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%.

WoW Classic SoD: How To Gri ...
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!Jul-11-2024

WoW Classic SoD: How To Get ...
In WoW SOD Phase 4, Tarnished Undermine Realms are the primary method for most players to obtain new gear and items, including parts for all tier 0 dungeon sets that can be improved in the new Phase 4 gear upgrade questline. If you’re also interested in how to obtain Tarnished Undermine Real, read on, as this guide will cover the full inventory of Tarnished Undermine Real vendor, as well as where you can find this Tarnished Undermine Real vendor. What Is Tarnished Undermine Real Used For? Tarnished Undermine Real acts similarly to SOD Gold in the game and can be redeemed for items from a new vendor in Booty Bay. The new vendor features a variety of useful SoD Phase 4 gear, including rings, weapons, other equipment, as well as various crafting recipes and fun toys. Such as Gift of Gob, it turns your friendly target into a Goblin for one hour, including Hunter pets. The new Pattern: Leather-Reinforced Runecloth Bag, with 18 slots, is locked behind this new currency, as well as numerous Alchemy recipes, pre-BiS gear, and other useful items. It will be an important currency before entering Molten Core, but to obtain Undermine Reals, you need to make sure you follow the right method. How To Get Tarnished Undermine Real In WoW SoD? The method to obtain Tarnished Undermine Real is simple. Each boss of the dungeon that reaches the maximum level will drop one of this currency every day, but you can’t farm the same dungeon repeatedly because it resets at 9 am server time. This system is a bit like Wild Offering system in SoD Phase3, but instead of being tied to only one boss in each instance, which you can farm repeatedly, Tarnished Undermine Real drops once a day from each boss in the instance. The best way to farm Tarnished Undermine Real is to visit the five main dungeons at the highest level. It is worth noting that to access Upper Blackrock Spire, you must find a UBRS-attuned player, or get attuned in Lower Blackrock Spire yourself. Tarnished Undermine Real Vendor Location Tarnished Undermine Real vendor is located in Booty Bay, and the vendor’s wares are available to both Horde and Alliance players. Look for Pix Nizzix in the northeast of the lower platform. He should be standing next to Auctioneer outside the shiphouse, where you can exchange it for Parrot pet. From the ship to Ratchet City, continue forward and turn left to find a Goblin standing on top of a crate. If you can’t see Tarnished Undermine Real vendor location, head to the lower planks of Booty Bay and look for Goblin hiding in a corner that may be surrounded by dozens of players. All Tarnished Undermine Real Rewards Tier 0 Dungeon Sets drop from the same dungeons as vanilla WoW. With this new currency, you can also redeem parts for the T0 Dungeon Set. The cost of each set follows the same formula. Specifically, in order to have Tier 0 Head, Chest, and Legs pieces, each will cost 50 Tarnished Undermine Real. And Tier 0 Belt, Boots, Gloves, and Shoulder pieces will cost 25 Tarnished Undermine Real each. In addition, for Tier 0 Bracers parts, you can exchange them for 15 Tarnished Undermine Real. Try to target dungeons that drop Head, Chest, and Legs pieces of your Tier 0 SoD Dungeon Set first. While farming these dungeons, you’ll earn Tarnished Undermine Reels, which can be used to exchange for other items, and if you can get these high-cost items, you’ll need to run fewer dungeons to get the full set. Overall, Tarnished Undermine Real plays an important role in WoW SoD Phase 4 as a new currency that opens the door to high-level gear and valuable items. Through diligent farming and wise dungeon selection, players can better cope with the upcoming challenges.Jul-19-2024
