The next raid of WoW Classic will open soon. Already next month, the gates of Ahn’Qiraj could open on your realm.
The Blackwing Lair has been available in World of Warcraft Classic for quite some time now, and players are craving new content. They are so bored that they are clearing Molten Core with 40 Paladins. Now Blizzard has finally revealed when Phase 5 of WoW Classic will begin, bringing two new raids. The gates of Ahn’Qiraj could already open next month.
When does Ahn’Qiraj start? Patch 1.13.5 for WoW Classic is set to be released in July. However, the event for the opening of Ahn’Qiraj will take place a little later, starting from July 28.
With the Weekly Reset (for us on Wednesday, July 29), it will be possible to start the Ahn’Qiraj event, which ultimately ends with the opening of the gates.
What happens during the Ahn’Qiraj event in WoW Classic?
This is what needs to be done: To complete the preparation for the Ahn’Qiraj event, the entire server must gather countless resources. This ranges from herbs to ores and leather. The whole realm must work together to procure the war supplies.
Donating resources grants badges that players can exchange for reputation. Perfect for easily earning a revered reputation – for example, with Darnassus. Only when all supplies have been gathered can the next phase of the event be initiated.
However, more needs to be done. At least one player must complete a very long quest chain that involves a lot of farming work. In addition to the hundreds of kills of Silithids, raids must also be completed in a “speed run” manner and additional resources gathered.
Only when both objectives are met can the chosen player ring the gong of Ahn’Qiraj to open the door. He will also receive the coveted title “Scarabaeus Lord” and a black drone of the Qiraji as a mount – the probably most exclusive mount that exists to this day in World of Warcraft.
As a reward, there is access to the Temple of Ahn’Qiraj. This is a pretty significant raid where a lot of new loot awaits, and especially at the end, the infamous final boss C’Thun – the first of the Old Gods that can be defeated in WoW.
The event could be over in a few days
Will the event be just like back then? Probably not. It is likely that the event will be significantly faster completed than it was the case on the “Vanilla” servers.
Many large guilds have started gathering resources for the opening event weeks and months ago. Many players suspect that the gates will already open on the full realms within the first week. The increased number of players per realm (compared to back then) is also likely to accelerate this process. Chaos is definitely guaranteed.
Are you looking forward to the opening of Ahn’Qiraj on your realm? Or are you not interested?
