Upcoming Patch Details
Prepare to explore the depths of the underground world in the upcoming patch 10.1, Embers of Neltharion, for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. The patch will introduce the massive Zaralek Caverns, accessible through several underground tunnels located throughout the Dragon Isles, which are home to a new faction of mole-like creatures called the niffen. Fyrrak Assaults, a new open-world activity, will put players to the test as they battle against the forces of the Primalists.
In addition to this, the update will bring new dragonriding glyphs for players to collect, new types of world quests, and the continuation of the main storyline. The highly anticipated feature of cross-faction guilds will also finally arrive, marking the first time in nearly twenty years that players can join and create guilds that span different factions.
