New Encounters and Story

The Sunken Temple promises at least one fresh encounter, hinting at a deeper storyline connected to the raid. Professions will likely see a new quest chain tied to the Temple, unlocking valuable recipes and items.

More Runes, More Rewards

Phase 3 expands the rune system with new engravings for your Helm and Bracer slots. Keep your eyes peeled for hidden skill books within level 40-50 dungeons, and don’t forget to search the world for exciting new discoveries, potentially like the Cozy Sleeping Bag from previous phases.

Blood Moon Revamp

While a new zone PVP activity is absent from Phase 3, the Blood Moon event receives a refresh with enticing level 50 rewards purchasable using a new currency called Massacre Coins (one of three!).

Remember, Bloodstained Commendations are being retired, so spend any remaining ones before they expire two weeks after the 1.15.2 patch launch (around April 18th).

This is just a glimpse of what awaits in WoW Classic SoD Phase 3. More secrets are likely hidden within the update, so stay tuned for further details as the release date approaches!
