World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade has launched the pre-patch for its Classic Anniversary edition. The new update sets the stage for a smooth transition before the official rollout. This pre-patch comes with the World of Warcraft subscription or Game Time.
Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary Launch Schedule
In about three weeks from now, fans of the MMORPG title can experience the anniversary offering of the first-ever expansion of the game. Specifically, the Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary edition will drop globally on February 5 (Thursday) at 3:00 pm PST.
Burning Crusade Pre-Patch Offerings
According to Blizzard Entertainment, players can get ready for Outland through the pre-patch. For heroes at level 60 and above, confronting the Burning Legion together is now possible to save Azeroth. Along with this, the developer increased the level cap to 70.
Also, the update adds two new playable races. Now, the Blood Elves and Draenei are available. The former can play as Hunters, Mages, Paladins, Priests, Rogues, and Warlocks. Likewise, the latter are capable of fighting as Hunters, Mages, Paladins, Priests, Shamans, and Warriors.
The pre-patch also confirms that the Outland Epic Pack brings a Level 58 Character Boost. With this, players will be able to quickly reach a higher level for upcoming battles and adventures. This boost is even applicable to the Blood Elves and Draenei when fighting the Burning Legion. However, it will only be a standalone purchase. In the same way, players can only use it on Classic Anniversary realm characters. The use is also limited to the account for which it was bought.
At the same time, exploring Azeroth deeply is now made possible by a flying mount. It is a new type of transportation that takes players to unreachable areas. Meanwhile, they can learn Jewelcrafting as a new profession. On top of these, there will be a Guild Bank for storage purposes.
What’s Next?
More than a week after the launch of the Classic Anniversary edition, players can start playing other content. For instance, the PvP Arena Season 1 starts on February 17 with a weekly content reset. In this, fighters in Outland are allowed to test their skills in the following arenas:
- Circle of Blood in Blade’s Edge Mountains
- Ring of Trials in Nagrand
- Ruins of Lordaeron above Undercity
At the same time, there are three raids opening on February 19 at 3:00 pm PST. These will be the Karazhan, Gruul’s Lair, and Magtheridon’s Lair. All of which are challenges that mark the start of WoW’s endgame content.
