InWorld of Warcraft ClassicSeason of Discovery, Druid players who obtain Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros have their cat forms transformed into flaming lions. Though fans can get this fiery cosmetic in modernWorld of Warcraft, they have never been able to do so inClassicuntil now.
Recently,World of Warcraftlaunched Phase 4 of Season of Discovery. The first max-level update for the experimental servers added new things to the game, and made tons of changes to existing content.

Getting Sulfuras is no small feat. Doing so requires the Sulfuron Hammer, crafted by Blacksmiths using many rare ingredients from the Molten Core, and theEye of Sulfuras, which drops from Ragnaros himself. Luckily,Sulfuron Ingotsdrop more frequently in Season of Discovery’s Molten Core, and Lava Cores and Fiery Cores can be bought for Tarnished Undermine Reals, making Sulfuras easier to acquire in Season of Discovery than ever before. Even so, the speed Oogieboogie obtained this weapon was truly impressive.

Players were overjoyed to discover this amazing Druid Easter egg in Season of Discovery. With all the surprises that have been found since the servers began, many had hoped Druids might have a way to customize their wild shape in some way. The forms used by the Druids of the Flame have also been popular among fans for a long time –WoW: Dragonflighteven recently updated the old Druid of the Flame cat formfromCataclysmin Patch 10.2. Crafting Sulfuras is an expensive and time-consuming ordeal, but this new cosmetic alone is enough to inspire many Druid players to try.
Season of Discovery has been a delight for class fantasy, with special pets for Hunters, ambassador quests for Priests, and the ability forWorld of WarcraftPaladins to train their own squires. Players will have to see if any other classes get more of these surprises in future Season of Discovery updates.
