↖ Release Dates

Patch 10.1.7 is set to release on September 5th for NA servers and September 6th for EU servers. While it may not seem like a massive content patch, it introduces a lot of engaging elements, including story content that was encrypted during PTR testing.

 

↖ Dream Surges

One of the central features of Patch 10.1.7 is the introduction of Dream Surges, a new public event that occurs on the Dragon Isles. Here's what you need to know about Dream Surges:

• Dream Surges are weekly events, with one of the Dragon Isles zones being affected each week.
• The affected zone is marked on the map with an icon.
• During Dream Surges, various events occur in the specific zone.
• A Waking Portal spawns every 30 minutes in the zone, offering an event where players fill a bar and defeat a boss, rewarding loot.
• Small portals scattered throughout the zone spawn continuously, allowing solo adventures to engage in battles for loot.
• The zone's rares become empowered during Dream Surges, making them harder to defeat and dropping new Dream Surge loot.
• Players can vote on a zone buff every 30 minutes after defeating the major Waking Portal event. Buff options include increased XP and more.
• The affected zone grants a 25% experience buff, making it an ideal time for leveling alts.

 

Dream Surges offers two main currencies: Dream Surge Coalescence, obtained from various activities, and Dream Surge Chrysalis, a weekly quest reward (bind on pickup).

 

↖ Rewards

• Item level 402 gear, upgradable to 424 using the veteran gear track.
• Item level 415 gear, upgradable to 437 via the champion gear track.
• Battle pets, including Cheddar and the Crimson Swagler.
• Mounts, such as Duskwing Ohana and the Renewed Mag Mammoth.
• There is no new transmog gear, but the gear is a recolour of existing sets.

 

↖ Night Elf and Undead Heritage Armors

Patch 10.1.7 brings Night Elf and Undead Heritage Armors along with their respective questlines. These unique armour sets are available for characters level 50 and above, and while specific story details remain encrypted, the armor themselves have been officially previewed and are highly anticipated.
