Matches are expected to be fast-paced, lasting roughly 10-15 minutes.

Forget pre-defined abilities! In Plunderstorm, you’ll discover your arsenal and upgrades by looting treasure chests and defeating your enemies. These newfound spells will automatically fill your action bar, offering a mix of offensive skills (up to two) and utility options like leaps or crowd-control effects (also two slots). To further enhance your power, you can even discover upgraded versions of your spells!

Treasures Ahoy!

Plunderstorm isn’t just about bragging rights! Engaging in this swashbuckling brawl offers a chance to snag some unique rewards, including:

  • Polly Roger Parrot mount (to soar the skies in style!)
  • Bubbles the Crab pet (a loyal crustacean companion)
  • A pirate skin for Pepe (because who wouldn’t want a pirate Pepe?)
  • 750 Trader’s Tender (valuable currency)
  • And more!

So, raise the anchor and set sail for adventure! World of Warcraft Patch 10.2.6 promises an exciting new way to experience the game, filled with swashbuckling action and a chance to score some epic loot.
