The latest raid of World of Warcraft is accessible starting today. The most powerful enemies from Suramar are waiting in the Nightwell.
With World of Warcraft: Legion, everything was supposed to get better and content droughts were to be nipped in the bud. Thus, Blizzard is only now opening the third raid of the current expansion.
Today, on 01/18/2016, the new raid “The Nightwell” opens on normal and heroic difficulty!
The Nightwell features a total of 10 different bosses, ranging from wild animals to demons to Nightborne. For the LFR (Looking For Raid), the raid will be divided into a total of 4 wings.
The Nightwell deals with the long questline about Suramar and the fate of the Nightborne. Over the past few weeks, players have begun the siege of the capital to reclaim the city piece by piece alongside the First Arcanist Thalyssra.
At the heart of the city, the namesake Nightwell rests, from which the elves draw their magic. The Legion and Gul’dan himself are also there to complete a dark ritual and use the body of Illidan as a vessel for a powerful demon.
In the coming weeks, the Nightwell will also be made accessible for the other difficulty levels.
- January 25: Nightwell opens on Mythic and LFR Wing 1 opens
- February 8: Nightwell LFR Wing 2 opens
- February 22: Nightwell LFR Wing 3 opens
- March 8: Nightwell LFR Wing 4 opens
The Nightwell has been in the game since the beta of Legion but was only opened now to give players more time for the other raids. Just a few months ago, the interim raid “Trial of Valor” opened after the Emerald Nightmare.
The Emerald Nightmare was recently cleared on Mythic by a completely deaf guild.
