When developer Blizzard Entertainment shared the World of Warcraft Roadmap for 2024, the community’s attention got immediately got with the mystery update 10.2.6. Marked on the roadmap with a pirate flag, it promised something enchanting. And now the time has come to find out exactly what it is!
The developers have ventured to the official site to reveal that update 10.2.6 will be arriving next week, on March 19, with a bold, new, limited-time event. You won’t want to miss out on the fun.
“It’s important to note that Dragonflight season 4 will go live several weeks after the release of the 10.2.6 content update. For heroes working toward the Amirdrassil Feats of Strength, you’ll need to obtain Ahead of the Curve: Fyrakk the Blazing before Season 4 begins, and the achievement is no longer available to earn.”
The team also previewed changes coming to the dungeons, progression and rewards in Season 4:
- Heroic difficulty and rewards will move up to roughly the current level of Mythic 0. These dungeons will remain available to queue into via Group Finder, though the item level requirement to queue will also go up accordingly.
- Mythic 0 difficulty and rewards will move up to roughly the current level of Mythic 8-10 (this is a bit hand-wavy – numerically it’s close to M10 but not having a timer at all or affixes really offsets that quite a bit).
- The existing Mythic+ system will pick up where that leaves off, such that a Mythic 5 in Season 4 is roughly equivalent in difficulty, rewards, and M+ Rating awarded, to a Mythic 15 today.
Check out the official site to see a detailed list of changes with an explanation for each.
