NEW RAID: ABERRUS, THE SHADOWED CRUCIBLE
Millennia ago, Neltharion carved deep places in the earth where he conducted world altering experiments. After his death, these sites were lost to time, until now. Forces seeking to claim the Earth-Warder’s legacy raid his dominion in search for powerful artifacts. Now the champions of Azeroth must venture into darkness and ensure the crucible’s dangerous power doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.
Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible features nine boss encounters: Kazzara, the Hellforged, The Amalgamation Chamber, The Forgotten Experiments, Assault of the Zaqali, Rashok, the Elder, The Vigilant Steward, Zskarn, Magmorax, Echo of Neltharion, and Scalecommander Sarkareth.

Brackenhide Hollow
Halls of Infusion
Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr

Neltharion’s Lair, Legion
Vortex Pinnacle, Cataclysm
Vortex Pinnacle will be available for testing in a future PTR build.

Dragonflight Season 2 Mythic+ testing begins on Thursday, March 16. Visit the feedback thread 15 for details.
Neltharus
Warlord Sargha
Fixed the damage tuning on items found during the encounter.
Fixed an issue that gave players inconsistent item levels in Freehold, The Underrot, and Neltharion’s Lair.
INVITE BOTH FACTIONS’ PLAYERS TO GUILDS
Players who have been enjoying Cross-Faction Instances now have the ability to join the same guild as their opposite-faction friends and benefit from conveniences like shared chat and guild repairs.
Guilds are still affiliated with either the Horde or the Alliance, depending on the faction of the guild leader. Guild achievements and guild vendors, for example, will still reflect the guild’s primary faction. Opposite faction members may benefit from unlocked shared perks but may be unable to contribute to certain achievements (e.g. we would not expect Alliance members of a Horde guild to be able to contribute progress towards the “Alliance Slayer” guild achievement).
This is our first step of potentially several in publicly testing this long-awaited feature, so keep an eye out for updates and we look forward to reading your experiences in the feedback thread 9 throughout the PTR cycle.
NEW UPGRADE SYSTEM
A new upgrade system will replace many of the various upgrade systems currently in place, such as Valor and Storm Gear, with a single system that covers most of the game. This system will last for the duration of Season Two, and after that we’ll evaluate how well it’s working and whether we want to keep it.
The basics of this system are simple: you’ll earn a new currency called Flightstones from just about anything you do— complete a world quest, kill a unique creature, run a Mythic Keystone dungeon, kill a raid boss, etc. You’ll also get items called Shadowflame Crests (or fragments of them), which come in four varieties from different content difficulty levels. Shadowflame Crests and their fragments will also come from a wide range of content, including outdoor gameplay, Mythic+ dungeons, and raids. You’ll be able to upgrade almost any item in Season Two’s max-level gameplay ecosystem, whether it comes from a World Quest or a Mythic raid boss, by spending Flightstones and Shadowflame Crests.
There are three categories of gear that are not part of this system. The first is crafted gear, which will be upgraded using recrafting, much the same as it’s done now. The other kind of gear not included in this upgrade system is PvP gear. PvP gearing will continue to work as it did in Dragonflight Season One. The final kind of gear not available for these upgrades is the very top end of gear. Anything that’s at an item level comparable to a Mythic Raid isn’t going to be upgradable. If you want the very best gear and get into the Hall of Fame for the new raid, you’ll still need to earn gear from drops, the same as you do now.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that everything here is optional. You don’t ever need to upgrade gear with this system. You’ll still see gear drop at the same rates. This system is meant to augment and supplement your gearing journey, not replace it.
For more details, take a look at the Developer Insights article 25 on this new feature.

World of Warcraft Dragonflight gets the First Patch
World of Warcraft is introducing a new major content patch, Embers of Neltharion, that takes players on an adventure to the Zaralek Cavern beneath the Dragon Isles. In this vast expanse, the Earth Aspect once kept his secret laboratories, and players will encounter powerful elemental villains called the Incarnates who hold a grudge against the Aspects. The patch, which currently does not have a release date, revolves around the theme of legacy and features several storylines that intersect. The Dragon Aspects race to the laboratory to prevent the villains from wreaking havoc, while both sides of the conflict seek to investigate the laboratory to uncover their origins.
The Zaralek Cavern is divided into three distinct biomes: sulfur pools, crystalline stretches with stalactites and ethereal teal lighting, and natural volcanoes and pools of lava. Players will encounter dangerous elements such as caustic chemicals in the sulfur pools, but they will also have the opportunity to meet friendly creatures such as the drogbar and the Niffen, a new race of mole people. In addition, players can participate in the snail races and enjoy the company of cute little mole friends during their downtime.
Creating the Zaralek Cavern presented technical challenges for the game's engineers. They had to overcome assumptions made in the game's underlying code that terrain would never be on top or below other terrain. While it required investment in underground areas that will likely pay off in future patches and expansions, the groundwork laid by the engineers will enable players to explore even more diverse and immersive environments in the future. Overall, Embers of Neltharion promises to be an exciting addition to World of Warcraft, offering players a chance to delve into new storylines and environments while confronting powerful foes and discovering new allies.
World of Warcraft Dragonflight Gameplay
Dragonflight is the latest expansion of the popular online game, which is set in the Dragon Isles, a vast world divided into five distinct zones. The four main zones are the Waking Shores, Ohn'ahran Plains, Azure Span, and Thaldraszus, which serve as the central hub. The fifth zone, Forbidden Reach, is the starting area for the new playable race called Dracthyr.
With Dragonflight, the game raises its level cap to 70, the first increase since the level squish was implemented in Shadowlands. Additionally, the game introduces a revamped user interface and talent tree system, featuring two tree branches.
The expansion also includes a new playable race, the Dracthyr, which has a unique class called the Evoker. The Evoker is exclusive to the Dracthyr and is the only class available to them. The Evoker wears mail armor and has two specializations available: Devastation, which focuses on ranged damage, and Preservation, which is healing-oriented. The Dracthyr can choose to align themselves with either the Alliance or the Horde, much like the Pandaren introduced in a previous expansion. Moreover, the Dracthyr Evokers are considered a hero class, starting at level 58, and have their starting zone.
The game also features a revamp to its professional system, allowing players to commission the creation of items through work orders. One of the new features in Dragonflight is Dragonriding, where players can customize and raise a dragon that they can use in a momentum-based flight system that utilizes aerial skills. Flying is available from the start of the expansion, removing the need to reach the maximum level.
