Intro
As a new week begins in World of Warcraft, players can dive into fresh challenges. The War Within Season 1 continues to gain momentum, and adventurers are tasked with exploring the secrets of Kazz Algar, tackling Mythic+ dungeons, taking on the Nerub’ar Palace raid, and engaging in ranked PvP. Here’s what awaits you on the Uncharted Island this week.
New Features
This week, players will encounter the following new additions:
-
In the Nerub’ar Palace, players can now obtain the quest “The Finer Things” which requires collecting 16 Nerub’ar Decorations. This quest grants the Severed Strands buff, increasing damage and healing by 3% for the entire party. Players can gather up to 8 decorations per week, one from each boss, regardless of difficulty mode. The first application of the buff will be available next week.
