Patch 10.2 Class Changes
Multiple classes received big talent updates. We are highlighting them separately.
The Emerald Dream Zone
The Emerald Dream is a new max-level zone located to the west of Ohn'ahran Plains. It is the home to the Green Dragonflight, who must put an end to Fyrakk and the Druids of the Flame before they burn down Amirdrassil. In the Emerald Dream, you will complete a new campaign, defeat various foes for rewards, and help the Dream Wardens by grinding Renown.
The Dream Wardens Faction
The Dream Wardens are various races ready to defend the Emerald Dream against any threats. The new Renown faction in Patch 10.2 is required to unlock the Dragon Isles Pathfinder.
Dragonriding Updates
Earn new Dragonriding mounts, collect Dragonriding Glyphs to spend them on Dragonriding talents, and complete new courses.
Players will unlock the Flourishing Whimsydrake (Faerie Dragon) mount in the initial chapters of Patch 10.2. The Grotto Netherwing Drake can also be obtained again from the Dragon Keeping quest in the Emerald Dream.
Dragon Isles Pathfinder
Dragon Isles Pathfinder has been added in the Patch 10.2 update, allowing players to unlock flying on regular flying mounts in the Dragon Isles.
We have a guide covering the requirements you must complete to earn the achievement.
Character Customization Updates
Blood Elves will receive new hair colors, and Druids can earn many unique customization options for their forms and customize them separately in the Barber Shop.
New Public Events
The Guardians of the Dream update ushers in a new cycle of public events. Superbloom is the primary event, alongside the Emerald Bounty, which has a series of micro-events triggered across the zone. Exercise your green thumb and help things grow, beat up baddies, and receive Emerald Dewdrops, event currency, to get rewards.
New World Boss: Aurostor the Hibernator
Aurostor the Hibernator is a new world boss found in the Emerald Dream. Do not forget to kill him every week for a chance at 460 (Champion 3/7) Item Level loot.
Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope Raid
Gather your allies and join the Dream Wardens as they stand against the machinations of Fyrakk and his allies, the Druids of the Flame! The nine-boss raid opens on all difficulties on November 14 on all difficulties.
Having been carefully nurtured within the Emerald Dream, Amirdrassil prepares to bloom and cross into Azeroth. But the fate of the new World Tree cannot be secured until Azeroth's champions come together to face Fyrakk and his molten allies before he devours the heart of Amirdrassil and bathes the world in flame.New Legendary Weapon
Fyr'alath, the Dream Render is a Legendary Strength Two-Hand Axe that players can earn by ending Fyrakk's chaos. Most content, including the stats and the weapon's effect, remains encrypted until the raid opens on live servers. Shortly after the raid is cleared, we will have a full-fledged guide on how to get the weapon.
Amirdrassil Class Tier Sets
All classes can unlock class sets with powerful bonuses in Guardians of the Dream. During the first patch week, you will have your first Revival Catalyst charge ready to create a set piece.
Great Vault Updates
Great Vault has seen many changes in Guardians of the Dream, with the raid boss kill requirements lowered to 2/4/7 (down from 3/5/7). Heroic and Timewalking Dungeons will now grant progress in the Dungeons category and more.
Battleground Blitz PvP Brawl
Battleground Blitz is a new 8v8 format that can be queued solo or as a duo if there is a healer in the pair. Map mechanics and pacing are adjusted to be quicker, to finish matches in about 10-12 minutes.
The map pool will be that of the Rated Battlegrounds pool: Warsong Gulch, Twin Peaks, Temple of Kotmogu, Eye of the Storm, Silvershard Mines, Arathi Basin, and Deepwind Gorge.
Dragonflight Mythic+ and PvP Season 3
