wow This Week in WoW: September 4th

[Stan 5,240]

We have plenty of new content available this week as Uldir, Mythic+ dungeons, Warfronts, new world bosses, bonus rolls and the Warsong Scramble PvP Brawl became available!

Highlights

• Uldir is available on Normal & Heroic difficulty. Check out our updated Class guides!
• Mythic+0 dungeons are now open. The max cap has been raised to ilvl 400 (Mythic+10 Titanforged).
• Alliance players control Arathi Highlands and have access to a world boss and various quests that reward War Resources and reputation with 7th Legion.
• Horde players must wait and gather enough resources to attack the Alliance. The region-wide effort will take approx. 3 days and quests reward 600 Artifact Power each as well as reputation with Honorbound.
• This week, many quests that grant reputation with War Campaign factions have opened up, so it should be easier to complete it.
• Bonus rolls are now available. Seals of Wartorn Fate now work at the end of Mythic+ dungeons, but are more expensive.
• An unintended bug caused players to receive ilvl 380-400 items from Mythic+ chests that weren't supposed to spawn.

Mythic Keystone Affixes

Plenty of changes to Mythic+ have been introduced in Battle for Azeroth. We have a new level 10 Seasonal affix that will be active each week. Tyrannical & Fortified are now level 2 affixes, and you can no longer swap gear in M+ runs. Here's a list of this week's affixes:

• Fortified
• Sanguine
• Necrotic
• Infested

Weekly Quests

• Azerite for the Alliance & Azerite for the Horde: Collect 40,000 Azerite from Island Expeditions to receive 2,500 Azerite and 1,500 reputation with Honorbound/7th Legion.
  • Both factions are important if you want to finish the War Campaign and unlock Dark Iron Dwarves and Mag'har Orcs.
• Call to Arms: Tiragarde Sound (A) & Call to Arms: Tiragarde Sound (H): Turn on War Mode and defeat 10 players of the opposing faction to receive 75 reputation with Honorbound/7th Legion, 250 Honor and a Steel Strongbox.
• Purchase 2 Seals of Wartorn Fate for Gold, Marks of Honor, or War Resources.

World Bosses

Warbringer Yenajz is the first boss up in Battle for Azeroth. Search for the epic world quests "The Faceless Herald" in Stormsong Valley. The faceless monster drops ilvl 355+ loot and completing the quest will net you 250 War Resources and 75 reputation with Honorbound/7th Legion.

Dark whispers shroud Stormsong Valley, as rumors of eldritch creatures spread throughout the countryside and families mark their doors with runes from the local scribes. Often dismissed as exaggeration, sometimes housewives' tales fall far short of the true horrors that lurk in the realm beyond our sight.

Warbringer Yenajz periodically calls down Reality Tear and draws players in to the center of Endless Abyss.

Doom's Howl (A)

Doom's Howl was created from stolen Alliance engineering plans. Used to transport hordes of troops into the worst combat conditions, this gigantic vehicle can also transform into a powerful siege platform capable of decimating enemy fortifications.

Warsong Scramble PvP Brawl (September 4-11)

Blizzard (Source)

Do you have a flag? Warsong Gulch has always been the scene of an epic capture-the-flag battle, but what happens when you can capture your enemy’s flag without your own at base?Or if there are multiple flags at each base? Find out when you step into this PvP Brawl! We’ve also added a few more power-ups to the field of battle to stir things up a bit. To win, your team will need to be the first to capture 10 flags.

Question: If a faction seizes control of the Warfront a day before reset, and I do the World Boss, will I be able to do it again after the reset if my faction still controls it?

Likely so, seeing as it was the case with Nether Disruptor in Legion.
