World of Warcraft Reveals To-Do List to Help Prepare for The War Within

World of Warcraft just shared a helpful guide on which Dragonflight rewards will become unavailable or more difficult to obtain once The War Within releases. With less than a month before the next expansion, this helpful to-do list can help World of Warcraft players figure out what to focus on over the next several weeks.

The release of The War Within draws ever closer, with early access for fans with the Epic Edition set to begin on August 22, and the full launch on August 26 for the rest of the World of Warcraft community. The War Within Pre-Patch also goes live within hours of press time, bringing tons of quality-of-life improvements, class changes, and the expansive Warbands system to the game.

To help players figure out what to do between now and The War Within, World of Warcraft has revealed a helpful guide of important Dragonflight activities they should consider completing over the next month. While most content will still be available, certain achievements, mounts, and other rewards, such as the Voyaging Wilderling and the Reins of Anu’relos, will be impossible or extremely difficult to obtain after the release of World of Warcraft:The War Within. As such, it may be wise for fans to complete these objectives before it is too late.

What To Do Before World of Warcraft: The War Within

• Dragonflight Season 4
  • Awakened Raids
    • Voyaging Wilderling mount from Normal Dragonflight Raids
    • “Awakened Hero” title from Heroic Dragonflight Raids
    • Raid teleports earned from Mythic Dragonflight Raids
    • Season 4 Awakened Raid Achievements for all three difficulties: Normal, Heroic, Mythic
    • The Reins of Anu’relos, Flame’s Guidance (plus the Feather of the Blazing Somnowl and the Cinder of Companionship earned from getting the mount) will become harder to get after The War Within.
  • Mythic Dungeons
    • All Season 4 Mythic achievements and rewards will no longer be attainable:
      • “The Draconic” title from Dragonflight Keystone Conqueror: Season 4
      • Infinite Armoredon mount from Dragonflight Keystone Master: Season 4
      • Dragonflight Keystone Hero: Season 4 achievement
    • Keystone Hero Dungeon Teleports for all Dragonflight dungeons
• World of Warcraft Remix: Mists of Pandaria
  • Ends August 19
  • Timerunners will be converted into regular characters after the event.
• Radiant Echoes Pre-Patch Event
  • July 30 through August 26
  • Begins in Legion Dalaran, which has portals to Dragonblight, Dustwallow Marsh, and Searing Gorge.
  • Available at level 10 for all players

WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria is set to end on August 19, a few days before early access for The War Within begins. The limited-time event provides an avenue to experience the Mists of Pandaria expansion like never before, unlocking tons of mounts, transmogs, and other cosmetics while leveling characters at an extremely fast pace. Once the event ends, Timerunner characters lose their special perks and items, and will be converted into regular World of Warcraft characters for use in The War Within and beyond.

Were these existing Dragonflight activities not exciting enough, the World of Warcraft: The War Within Pre-Patch also adds a new world event. Starting July 30, fans at level 10 and above can participate in the Raidant Echoes event to battle memories of iconic moments and bosses from Azeroth’s history in Dragonblight, Dustwallow Marsh, and the Searing Gorge. Portals in Dalaran allow players to quickly travel to and from the event stages, allowing them to easily collect and spend Residual Memories – the currency for the event – to buy catch-up gear and exclusive cosmetics.

The maintenance period for the World of Warcraft: The War Within Pre-Patch was just extended by a few hours, but fans should be able to start playing World of Warcraft again very soon. That said, players should be aware that logging in the first time will take a little longer this time, as the Warbands conversion process can take 20 minutes or more to complete.
