WoW 10.2 Release Date

The new patch for World of Warcraft will be available to players on regular servers very soon - on November 7, 2023. Developers have prepared a plethora of updates for players, including a new zone, a new raid, valuable gear, mounts, and customization options.

10.2 New Zone: The Emerald Dream

Guess what? Players are finally getting to explore the Emerald Dream in World of Warcraft! You can find it to the west of the Ohn'ahran Plains. But here's the twist - Fyrakk has barged in and is causing all sorts of trouble. His mission? To get to the new World Tree, Amirdrassil.

The Emerald Dream mirrors the untamed natural world. So, it looks a lot like the western edge of the Ohn'ahran Plains, where the Green Dragonflight lives. But it also reminds you of places like Val'sharah, Ardenweald, and Mount Hyjal - all those wild and nature-filled zones. Just like Mount Hyjal had its fiery troubles with the Firelands, the Emerald Dream has its own fiery nemesis in Fyrakk. He's got Firelands stuff going on, and he's even got some Druids of the Flame to help him out. It's like a wild, fire-filled showdown in there!

How Does Emerald Dream Look Like

Players are gonna love the look of the Emerald Dream in Dragonflight 10.2. It's got beautiful natural vibe, kind of like Ardenweald. Picture lush forests, druids doing their thing, and all things nature. The designs are full of cool stuff like vines, butterflies, leaves, and more to capture that vibe.

The colors are a mix of greens and blues to give you those seasonal feels. But you'll also spot orange, red, and autumn-like colors. Those fiery shades remind us that Fyrakk, the intruder, is causing trouble with fire in this serene place. It's like nature vs. fiery chaos!

Players will absolutely love the new themed clothing items, as well as mounts, animals, and critters. The design of the location is simply stunning!

10.2 Raid: Amirdrassil

In Season 3, a new raid has been introduced called Amirdrassil, The Dream’s Hope. This raid is centered around the Amirdrassil tree, which Tyrande and Malfurion planted in the Emerald Dream with the help of Merithra of the Dream at the start of the expansion. However, Fyrakk aims to use the tree for his own purposes, and he has brought nine powerful bosses to make his case.

Players will embark on a journey that includes challenging battles against these nine formidable bosses, including a showdown with the Druid of the Flame and Fyrakk at the top of the majestic World Tree, Amirdrassil. Interestingly, most of the raid's action doesn't take place within or immediately around the tree itself. Instead, the main battles will unfold in a newly revealed region located just north of Amirdrassil. Get ready for an exciting adventure that includes fights against Fyrakk's allies, the Zaqali Djaradin and the Druids of the Flame, dragon rides to reach the tree's summit, and a final showdown with Fyrakk. This promises to be an engaging raid with a unique gameplay concept!

A New Legendary Weapon – Fyr’alath, the Dream Render

Patch 10.2 comes with an exciting addition: a legendary two-handed axe known as Fyr'alath the Dream Render. This weapon that Fyrakk wields, while he is in human form.

While we don't have all the details on how to get this legendary axe yet, it seems like it will involve a special quest chain rather than just finding it as a drop in the game. The teaser hints at the axe being part of a questline.

What's interesting is that there are two versions of the axe. One is bright yellow, which matches Fyrakk's original form, and the other is dark red, possibly representing his Shadowflame-infused form from Patch 10.1. So, it looks like Fyrakk might undergo a transformation related to the Shadowflame's power. Exciting times for WoW players and collectors of legendary weapons!

WoW Superbloom Guide

In the Guardians of the Dream update, there are exciting new Public Events in the Emerald Dream. One of the main events is called Superbloom. It happens every hour and involves helping an Ancient of Life named Sprucecrown with a special ritual near the World Tree, Amirdrassil. Your goal is to make life bloom by doing tasks like watering flowers, clearing weeds, and fighting off bad guys called Primalists who want to disrupt the ritual

As you participate in the Superbloom event, you'll collect something called "Bloom." This is earned by helping creatures and defending Sprucecrown from the Primalists. When you defeat enough Primalists, their leader, a dragonkin named Marikke, will appear. You can complete the main Superbloom quest once a week from Clarelle, who takes care of Sprucecrown. The more Bloom you collect, the better your rewards will be when the event finishes. If you're in a smaller group, you'll get extra Bloom to help you reach higher reward tiers.

While Sprucecrown does his ritual, some special Dreamfruit trees will grow. These Dreamfruit offer unique powers that can help you during the event. Some powers are great for combat, and others help improve the quality of Bloom. You can mix and match these powers, and as you gain more Renown with the Dream Wardens, you can have up to four Dreamfruit and powers.

Finishing the Superbloom event earns you a currency called Emerald Dewdrops, gear, Dreamseeds, Drake Crests, Drakewatcher Manuscripts, and reputation with the Dream Wardens. So, lots of exciting stuff to explore in this new update!

Emerald Frenzy

In 10.2, every 2 hours an area in the specific zone becomes filled with life energy, and it makes the animals there go a bit crazy. Your task is to defeat these creatures, and in return, you'll earn rewards in the form of Emerald Dewdrops. The tougher the creatures you defeat, the better the rewards you get. Additionally, there's a bonus objective you can complete to earn even more Dewdrops, a special Plump Dreamseed for another event, and some Slumbering Dream Fragments. It's a great way to earn some valuable items in the game! BLOG7

Emerald Bounty

Of course! In this update, players can plant special seeds called Dreamseeds in different spots throughout the game world. These seeds grow into beautiful plants, and you get rewards when they bloom.

You can plant Dreamseeds in various places, and the higher the level of the seed, the better the rewards. As the plant grows, you can help it by earning Emerald Dewdrops and more Dreamseeds.

While the plant is growing, you'll need to protect it from critters, remove weeds, and deal with lashers that threaten it. These tasks will earn you more Emerald Dewdrops.

Once the Dreamseed grows into a beautiful flower, you'll be rewarded. The quality of the Dreamseed you planted determines your rewards:

• Small Dreamseeds give cosmetic armor.
• Plump Dreamseeds reward you with companion pets.
• Gigantic Dreamseeds grant you special mounts.

And no matter what type of Dreamseed you plant, there's a chance to get a rare Winter Night Dreamsaber and other cool items if you contributed enough Emerald Dewdrops.

New Faction: Dream Wardens

In the upcoming patch 10.2, just like in previous patches, you can expect a quest to introduce you to the Dream Warden faction. Completing story quests in this patch will reward you with faction reputation for the Dream Wardens.

Similar to other zones in the Dragon Isles, the Emerald Dream will have world quests that also give you Dream Warden reputation. The Dream Wardens may have special activities that are unique to their faction, much like the Maruuk Centaur hunts, fishing, and cooking activities we've seen before.

As you progress in the Dream Warden Renown track, you can expect new gear, weapons, pets, and cosmetic items as rewards. Patch 10.2 is introducing a new Dragonriding mount, the Faerie Dragon, and you'll likely unlock its customization options and manuscripts through the Dream Warden Renown track and vendors. Existing vendors may also offer customization options for the Faerie Dragon, similar to what happened with the Winding Slitherdrake in patch 10.1. And who knows, there might be new items for other dragonriding mounts too!

New World Boss: Aurostor the Hibernating

Patch 10.2 introduces a new formidable adversary - a new World Boss named Aurostor the Hibernating. The unique aspect of this encounter is that we're not trying to defeat him. Instead, our goal is to put him back to sleep. If we succeed, we'll earn a chest filled with rewards. As is typically the case with World Bosses, the tactics for this encounter shouldn't pose overly great challenges for players, but observing the implementation of these unusual mechanics is quite intriguing.

New Mounts in 10.2

The Guardians of the Dream update is a treat for mount collectors in World of Warcraft. It brings a bunch of new mounts, including two customizable ones using Dragonriding. You can also transform your Renewed Proto-Drake to look like Fyrakk and earn Anu'relos, Flames' Guidance, a cool fiery owl mount, which is the first non-dragon to use the dynamic flying system.

The mounts have dreamy and nature-inspired names like Snorr, Reverie, and Drowsey. To get all the Dream Infused mounts in Patch 10.2, you'll need specific mounts like Ottuk for Delugen, Shalewing for Imagiwing, Magmammoth for Mammyth, Salamanther for Salatrancer, Dreamstag for Stargrazer, and Dreamtalon for Talont.

Many of these mounts are already available in the game, so you can collect them before the update. However, Dreamstags and Dreamtalons are new and seem to be exclusive to Guardians of the Dream. Druids might have a special connection to them as shapeshifting customizations. So, get ready to expand your mount collection with these exciting additions!

In addition to this, we know that the game will feature two stunning new mounts, which are likely to be obtainable as rewards in the Trading Post.

New Gear in 10.2

Along with the introduction of new locations, raids, and themed activities, the game will also bring a plethora of new gear, visually tied to the new design of the Emerald Dream.

We got a sneak peek at the Season 3 Tier Set armor sets coming in Patch 10.2 Guardians of the Dream. While it's not crystal clear which classes will be rocking these sets, we'll update you as soon as we know for sure.

Here's a quick rundown of the Season 3 Tier Sets for different classes:

Warlock, Hunter, and Monk sets

Warrior and Priest sets

Death Knight, Shaman, and Demon Hunter sets

Paladin, Druid, and Mage sets

In addition to this, developers have introduced various sets that you will receive for completing activities in the open world. Next, we will show a picture showcasing some of them.
