Wow Classic 20th Anniversary Realms: Molten Core and Onyxia’s Lair Open December 12

The WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Edition realms are live, and players are bravely battling their way across Azeroth, preparing themselves for the face-off against Ragnaros and Onyxia in Molten Core and Onyxia’s Lair.

Both Raids open on December 12 at 2:00 pm PST globally, so you still have a bit of time to attune and prepare. For more details on attunement, read through the Molten Core and Onyxia’s Lair attunement guides.

The December Trading Post Is Cool as Ice

Winter has arrived at the December Trading Post, and while things may get frosty, you’ll find a variety of transmog appearances to bring you cheer. This month, cuddle up in the Ensemble: Purple Snugglefin Murloc Romper (we look forward to your onesie parades).

Mind your Tender—while the festive season brings a multitude of merriment and cheer, the fun doesn’t end there. We’ll be celebrating the second anniversary of the Trading Post in February with an extension to the Reward Bar during that month, allowing you to earn an additional 500 Trader’s Tender through a variety of activities and expand your spending power on several selections—including previously released transmogs, mounts, pets, toys, and previous monthly rewards. 

Complete activities to fill the bar at the top of the Traveler’s Log found in the Adventure Guide (Shift-J), and you’ll receive this month’s bonus reward — Ensemble: Purple Snugglefin Murloc Romper, just in time to join the next murloc onesie march.

Visit T&W** (Tawney and Wilder) just outside the Mage District in Stormwind or the Zen’shiri Trading Post next to Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar to check out all the latest items they have available.

Players can also visit the Trading Post in the capital city of Dornogal (The Foregrounds) on the Isle of Dorn where representatives of both Tawney and Wilder and the Zen’shiri Trading Post are open for business.
