↖ Dawn of the Infinite - Megadungeon

Prepare for an epic adventure in the brand new mega dungeon, Dawn of the Infinite. This eight-boss dungeon revolves around the intriguing theme of the bronze dragonflight. While the dungeon is not available for testing at the moment, we know it will feature thrilling encounters such as the Blight of Galakrond and the return of Chronolog Dion's, the final boss of Alderman.

 

Furthermore, the dungeon will offer unique experiences for both Horde and Alliance players. Initially, it will be limited to Mythic difficulty only, with Heroic and Mythic+ versions likely coming in Season 3 of Dragonflight. Keep an eye out for more information on loot and rewards!

 

↖ Augmentation Evoker Spec

Introducing the third specialization for Evokers: the Augmentation Evoker. This new spec offers a refreshing take on the support role within the damage-dealing category. Rather than focusing on tanking or healing, the Augmentation Evoker enhances the abilities of its allies while dealing damage.

 

By utilizing specific damage abilities, players can empower their teammates and provide crucial boosts. This innovative support specialization is available for testing on the PTR, offering players the opportunity to try it out firsthand. Explore the new animations and abilities that accompany this unique addition to the Evoker class.

 

↖ Warlocks Updates

Patch 10.1.5 brings an exciting update for all races: the ability to become Warlocks. Previously limited to specific races, Warlocks are now accessible to all races except for the Trolls. This expansion of playable races for Warlocks is based on their lore and racial compatibility, making it a natural addition.

 

Notable races gaining access to the Warlock class include Night Elves, Draenei (both Lightforged and regular), Pandaren, Kul Tirans, Tauren (both Highmountain and regular), Mag'har Orcs, and Zandalari Trolls. Delve into the expanded lore surrounding Warlocks and enjoy the new customization options for Warlock pets, which will be similar to the Druid customization available in the barbershop.

 

↖ Whelp Daycare

The Whelp Daycare feature provides players with a daily questline centered around nurturing whelps. By completing these quests, players can earn battle pets as rewards. This addition caters to battle pet enthusiasts, offering a fun and engaging activity in the Little Scales daycare area of Val Dragon.

 

↖ Tracking Transmog Appearances

The most notable feature of this patch is the addition of the Tracking Transmog Appearances system. When accessing your appearance tab in Patch 10.1.5, holding down the Shift key will highlight certain appearances. By clicking on a highlighted appearance, you can track its source, providing valuable information about where it can be obtained. This feature applies to most items in World of Warcraft, including older ones, making it a must-have tool for transmog collectors.

 

↖ Dragonriding Races in Kalimdor

Patch 10.1.5 introduces thrilling dragonriding races in Kalimdor with the Calendar Grand Prix. While the specific mechanics are still being refined during the PTR phase, players will likely participate in dragon-mounted races across various tracks in Kalimdor.

 

These races offer a wide range of achievements to conquer, catering to both novice and advanced racers. Additionally, there are rumours of similar races coming to the Eastern Kingdoms, as suggested by data found in the game files.

 

↖ Time Rifts

One of the major features in Patch 10.1.5 is the introduction of Time Rifts. While details about this feature are still emerging, and it may be subject to changes, it seems reminiscent of the rift system introduced in Patch 7.3. Players will explore alternate futures and pasts of Azeroth by traversing through time rifts.

 

Engaging in small scenarios within these rifts will provide unique experiences and rewards. Furthermore, a variety of mounts are associated with this feature, each tied to different locations, such as Antorus, Nar'lotha, and more.

 

Conclusion:

Patch 10.1.5 "Fractures in Time" brings a wealth of exciting features to Dragonflight. As more information becomes available and the PTR phase progresses, players can expect further insights into these features.
