From trying new classes, to getting mounts, transmogs and achievements. The pre-patch offers all the content up to date, also without purchasing any expansion.
Table of Contents
Although the eve of a new expansion can get a little boring, the reality is that it is the best time to do things you wouldn’t normally do. And sometimes we rush to the last minute to get equipped. It’s really not very useful, unless you want to enjoy the dungeon content and raids in what you expect. Therefore, here we bring you several things you can do to avoid getting bored. Take note!
Level up.
Part of the life of World of Warcraft is its past. So much so, that Blizzard Entertainment has rescued old content in a better structured way. Time travel is certainly a justified way to play older content without causing anachronisms with current content. You just have to go to Cromi, in Windstorms u Orc haltersand select which temporary branch you want to visit. The so-called ‘Walk in Time’ covers from Outland (The Burning Crusade) to the Dragon Islands (Dragonflight).
Remember that the older the content, the less dynamic and easy it is to level up! So assess the level of nostalgia you want to experience.
If you want to upload the greatest number of characters in the shortest time possible, if you don’t care if it is repetitive, the best way is to choose Dragonflight. If you want different plots, which you may not have tried, others in which leveling up is easy can be: Legion y Shadowlands. You should know that, during the ‘Time Walk’, you will be instantiated by those players who are in the same place as you, but in the present. If you want to say hello to a friend, you’ll need to momentarily exit the time fork.
Mounts, pets and armor sets.
Getting mounts in World of Warcraft is extremely easy, but getting the most prestigious ones is a headache. That’s why a good routine you can do before midnight falls on Azeroth is to explore the content of old expansions and roll the fortune dice when looting raid bosses. Perhaps the Lich King’s Invincible? Could it be the Ashes of Al’Ar in Tempest Castle? They are all within your reach.
The trading post always has new frames, and the prices are not high at all. Check how many coins you have and get as many as you can handle. Remember that if you buy more expensive editions of Midnight, the number of coins you will get will also increase, since they are included in the purchase of the expansion. You should know that these mounts are linked to your Battle.net account, which will allow you to enjoy them with all characters. It doesn’t matter what race, faction or kingdom you are.
And don’t forget to check out the Dornogal Trading Post! Several mayors will offer you new rewards, different from those you can get in the capitals. Prices practically do not vary, but the merchandise available does. If you have enough coins, you can get more than 10 mounts in just one rotation. The same with pets and transfigurations. Here you can see where it is located, right in the center!
Hogares (housing).
World of Warcraft has been offering the full experience of the new Homes feature since December. This feature was announced by Blizzard even before they announced the news of Midnight. This new game is available to all users who have purchased the midnight expansion. That is why, while waiting for Xal’Atath to attack Quel’Thalas and the new chapter of WoW to begin, you can decorate your house, along with your friends.
He housing It’s a tool that’s already fully adhered to and tailored to all of the game’s content, so crafting raids and vintage content will also provide you with furniture to decorate your humble abode.
Decoration vendors are in the neighborhoods. There are 4 generals per faction, 1 for gardening and pirates for enemy items (opposite faction). You can also purchase furniture in major capitals, past expansion zones, and class headquarters. The payment currency is mainly gold, but depending on the location, more currencies may be required such as Dragon Islands Supplies (Dragonflight), Citadel Supplies (Warlords of Draenor), Ancient Mana (Legion) u Honor (PvP)…
Get free furniture by completing old achievements and guaranteed drops from bosses in dungeons/raids. Many of the furniture are sold at the quartermasters after unlocking the blueprint, which is what you loot from bosses. There are also ways like crafting via profession recipes and through the aforementioned Trading Post.
You should know, if you have not purchased the upcoming expansion, that during this pre-patch phase, you can play all the content of the game without having to purchase any extensionexcept the monthly payment. Perfect to try The War Within without seeing you alone. Without a doubt, World of Warcraft offers endless options to enjoy the retail before the arrival of Midnight. The new expansion will arrive:
