Now thatWorld of Warcraft’s Season of Discoveryhas officially launched Phase 4, players can finally reach the classic in-game level cap of 60. Now that the leveling process has come to an end, the players can focus on a whole list of other activities to get optimal gear and gain access to virtually all endgame content.
Some of the endgame content for players inWoW: SoDphase 4 is the same as or inspired by the classic game from more than 20 years ago, some features are completely new. The whole concept of Runes is unique, and one of the level 60 dungeons, Demon Fall Canyon, only exists in this version ofWoW.
Some of the questlines and attunement requirements are available to players as early as level 55 or 57. It’s recommended to get started as soon as possible because this often involves longer chain quests that might take one or two levels to finish.
Phase 4 Runes
New For Levels 55 And Up
Runes have been compared to Enchantments because they make the same kinds of gear changes, butRunes are specifically usedto change the roles that certain classes can take. At level 60, various new options are available for unique character builds.Warlocks can now be tanks, and Warriors have healing abilities, just to give a few examples.
Upgrade To BiS Gear For Raiding
How And Where To Get It
Getting into the raid is only half the battle. Having the optimal gear, along with the proper enchantments and buffs, is essential to be an effective part of any raiding team. Exact armor sets will vary depending on the character’s role, and it’s common to have more than one set of gear for different ones. Players can get BiS gear from the following sources:
Attunement Quests
Ready For Raiding
The notorious attunement quests include a fair amount of travel, money, and time to complete, but they’re mandatory for gaining access to the raid. Most of these are from back in the day and have a long and legendary history, while others are new and only found inSoD.
Endgame Dungeons
For The Gold, Gear, & Reputation
Level 60 players might be finished with dungeons for leveling, but it’s important to continue to run dungeons for rare materials and search for endgame gear.The following instancesallow access at level 55 or 57, so players don’t have to wait until level 60 to get started.
Get An Epic Mount
Five Have Been Discovered With More To Come
Before acquiring a mount, characters must first learn the Epic Riding skill, which first requires learning the regular riding skill. Paladins and Warlocks, who have class mounts that don’t require a Riding skill, need to save their gold and train for both.

Mottled Blood Raptor
Stranglethorn Vale Blood Moon PvP
Blood For The Blood God
The Blood Moon is the highest-level PvP eventin Azeroth so far. However, it’s not like incursions or battlegrounds. Even the guards and vendors turn hostile during this time. Any player that simply wants to quest, travel, or farm materials during this time needs a special buff.
The Zandalari Ward
At every point of entry in Stranglethorn Vale, which includes the zeppelin landing in Grom Gol, the dock in Booty Bay, and the road from Duskwood, a Zanadalri Emissary is waiting with a giant drop of blood floating over their head. Speak to them, and they’ll grant the Zandalari Ward, which allows the character to move freely throughout STV. This buff is permanent and can only be removed in the same way.
Although the Zandalari Ward protects the character from the event specifically, they’ll still be vulnerable to regular PvP challenges if they’re on a PvP server.
