The War Within prepatch goes live with maintenance on July 24th.
The usual prepatch systems and talents will be available to play around with in addition to Warbands and the Radiant Echoes Event.
With our raid on Monday, June 10th, Dragonflight raiding has officially concluded.
It has been a long journey from our first pull in Vault of the Incarnates and perhaps fittingly we wrapped raiding for this expansion by revisiting the Vault to attain the Glory of the Vault Raider achievement that we missed back in 2022.
Since then we have finished both Aberrus and Amirdrassil on both Normal and Heroic difficulty. Thank you to all the Seekers who have participated. I am a little sad that we have “lost” so many of you on the way but, as is perhaps usual by now, that is natural over the life span of an expansion. I hope that the start of the World Soul Saga will see most of you, if not all, return to share the next chapter in this adventure.
Nevertheless, it has been a pleasure raiding and M+ing with you all and I am grateful for the dedication and effort you all put into this shared adventure. 
Thanks again for the fun and I look forward to the exploring the War Within with you all.
World of Warcraft: The War Within will release on August 26th!
Journey through never-before-seen subterranean worlds filled with wonders and lurking perils, down to the dark depths of the nerubian empire, where the malicious Harbinger of the Void, Xal’atath, is gathering arachnid forces to bring Azeroth to its knees.
Season 1 and the first raid, Nerub’ar Palace, will start two weeks later on September 10th.

I hope to see everyone back for the start of the World Soul Saga and our 9th expansion adventuring together in Azeroth. 🙂
Time to return for a fresh look at the Vault of the Incarnates, Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible and Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope! 🙂
Dragonflight Season 4 Awakened will begin on April 24th and my plan is to begin in the first Awakened raid, presumably Vault, on Monday, April 29th!
This will most likely be a shorter raid season than usual since fundamentally the aim is simply to return to each of the Awakened raids of this expansion to get us our Voyaging Wilderling Mount. This only requires Normal difficulty and at this stage of the expansion I’m not sure I see the need for us to push Heroic again for Season 4.
For the start of Season 4 raiding the minimum ilevel will be 470. If you are considering switching main make sure that you meet the minium ilevel and are otherwise prepared.
I look forward to seeing you all for this last flourish of Dragonflight raiding. 😀
Short post to announce the conclusion of Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope raiding. Well done everyone and I hope you all enjoyed your time in Amirdrassil whether you stopped after Normal or continued in HC. 
We got our Amirdrassil Ahead of the Curve on Sunday, March 17th and then finished our Glory of the Amirdrassil Raider achievement the following Sunday. Congratulations to all! 
As always, I appreciate your dedication and effort. This is a collective effort that we can be proud of.
We have finished with some time to spare before S4 starts so I expect many to take a break. Enjoy the time off and see you all for Season 4 Awakened.
