Secrets of Azeroth Guide (All Clues Updated Daily)

The following guide is a work-in-progress and will be updated with more information when the event starts on live servers.

The event is available from August 31 through September 13 on live servers.

The event is not planned as a regularly occurring holiday, according to Blizzard, but there may be more secrets to uncover in the future.

You do not need to play the game every single day to earn all rewards.

The main goal of the community event is to uncover a total of 15 clues in the game by finding various treasures (Buried Satchels) in dirt mounts.

Each day at 3pm Pacific time (US) or 10 pm CET (EU), a new clue will be uncovered that grants progress toward the event's meta-achievement called Whodunnit?.

The final clue will be uncovered on September 13. We will be updating this section with details pertaining to all clues when they are known.
