World Of Warcraft – 20th Anniversary

New Currency

Take part in quests and activities to earn Bronze Celebration Tokens to spend on items during the 20th Anniversary Celebration, including returning items from previous anniversaries and new ones.

Go Back to the Blackrock Depths Raid

Join Moira Bronzebeard as the bronze dragonflight grants her a look back in history, guiding us all through a journey through eight epic boss raid encounters. Players can queue for this epic raid with the Raid Finder (Group Finder Hotkey I)  or create their own groups of 10 to 15 players by speaking with Moira for Normal and Heroic difficulties.

Tier 2 Armor Appearance Sets

We've modernized some very classic World Of Warcraft Tier 2 sets for all classes, including those that didn't exist at the time these sets were introduced—such as Monks and Evokers—for a total of thirteen class sets! Each set comes as an ensemble of 9 pieces, including a cloak, making sure you look the part from head to toe.

  • Death Knight: Pale Rider's Eternal Armor
  • Demon Hunter: Netherwalker's Eternal Armor
  • Druid: Stormrage Raiment
  • Evoker: Earth-Warder's Eternal Armor
  • Hunter: Dragonstalker Armor
  • Mage: Netherwind Regalia
  • Monk: Eternal Battlegear of the August Acolyte
  • Paladin: Judgement Armor
  • Priest: Vestments of Transcendance
  • Rogue: Bloodfang Armor
  • Shaman: Then Ten Storms
  • Warlock: Nemesis Raiment
  • Warrior: Battlegear of Wrath

Timewalking Through the Classics

Take part in a new Timewalking event that will take you through the original version of Deadmines, Zul'Farrak, Dire Maul (east and west wings), and Stratholme's living and undead dungeons for epic new rewards. Queue up via the Adventure Journal or the Group Finder with players level 10 and above.

Earn a New Mount, Service Award Appearances, and More

Blizzard employees earn special service awards during their time at the company. We've taken inspiration from these awards to create a new mount that is fully armored in a similar style—the Coldflame Tempest mount. This blue-flamed flying mount takes after its fiery cousin, the Ashes of Al'ar, and will let you show off your own years of service to Azeroth. Players can also earn appearances based on the employee sword, shield, and crown to show off in-game, along with a version of the employee ring as a toy.

Join the World Of Warcraft Celebration at the Cavern of Time

This year's World Of Warcraft celebration event has expanded, and the bronze dragonflight have taken the activities just outside the Caverns of Time with various new and exciting things to do. Show off your transmog at the Fashion Frenzy stage hosted by Althaea. Mount up to match Abigail Cyrildotr at the Mount Mania arena and show off your mount collection. Join Lorewalker Cho at the Storyteller stage for an epic tale you can't help but join in on. Take a photo with guildmates, venture to epic vistas, disguise yourself as your pet, cosplay as famous heroes or villains, skate on the rink, or take a balloon for a lazy ride around the event space. There's plenty to see and do as you join the celebration in Tanaris, and it's available to players at level 15 and above.
