Three versions are available for purchase in World of Warcraft: The War Within. But which edition is worth it and which is nonsense? We look at all three.
World of Warcraft has introduced the next big adventure. With the “Worldsoul Saga” there is a cycle of three expansions, beginning with “The War Within” – the next WoW addon. As is now customary, the expansion comes in three different editions with varying prices. We’ll tell you what’s included in each version and see which one is best for you.
What’s in the Base Edition? For 49.99 Euros, you get the “Base Edition”, the cheapest option. It includes:
- World of Warcraft: The War Within
- World of Warcraft: Dragonflight
- Improved level boost to level 70
- 500 vendor coins
What’s in the Heroic Edition? For the Heroic Edition, you pay 20 Euros more, totaling 69.99 Euros. In return, you receive:
- All content from the Base Edition
- 250 additional vendor coins
- Mount “Algaric Stormrider” with adjustments and special racetracks
- Upgradable transmog set “Robes of the Stormrider”
What’s in the Epic Edition? At 89.99 Euros, the Epic Edition is the most expensive option but offers the most content as well. For the price, you get:
- All content from the Heroic Edition
- 250 additional vendor coins
- Beta access to The War Within
- 3 days early access upon the expansion’s launch
- 30 days of gameplay
- Pet: Pusti the Storm Kid
- Toy: Sandbox Storm Griffon
- Effect: Earthen Hearthstone of the Deep Dweller
Which version of “The War Within” should you buy? That depends – as often – on your personal preferences. If you don’t need any frills and just want to enjoy the new addon, the standard version is perfectly adequate.
If you value mounts and transmogs but don’t care for pets and toys, then the Heroic Edition is made for you.
If you love collecting, you can’t go wrong with the Epic Edition. The price difference between “Heroic” and “Epic” is manageable given that it also includes another 30 days of gameplay, which otherwise would have cost around 11-13 Euros.
The biggest selling points of the Epic Edition this time around are likely the 3-day early access and guaranteed participation in the beta test. During this period, you can already level up, while all other buyers have to watch streams with gritted teeth.
If you’re still unsure, there’s no rush. There’s still almost a year until the release – enough time to find out more details about the next expansion and wait it out for a bit.
Which version will you buy and why was it the Epic Edition?
