World of Warcraft Classic's Season of Discovery concludes with its seventh and final phase, launching January 28th. This update introduces significant content, including the Karazhan Crypts dungeon and the Scourge Invasions event. Guilds can then tackle the challenging Naxxramas raid starting February 6th.
Phase 7 arrives two months after Phase 6, which saw players conquer Ahn'qiraj. The mysterious Shadowy Figure, glimpsed during Phase 6, remains an enigma, its potential reappearance in Phase 7 yet to be determined.
The January 28th launch will follow server maintenance. Players can explore the Karazhan Crypts, a 5-player dungeon beneath the iconic Karazhan tower. Simultaneously, the Scourge Invasion will unleash undead hordes across Azeroth, offering new quests and rewards at Light's Hope Chapel. Defeating these undead will yield Necrotic Runes, redeemable for consumables from Rune Brokers.
Further expanding the Phase 7 experience, new runes will be available from Rune Brokers in starting zones and capital cities. The highly anticipated Naxxramas raid opens on February 6th, featuring an "Empower" difficulty mode for increased challenge. Conquering Naxxramas' four wings grants access to the Frostwyrm Lair and its final bosses, Sapphiron and Kel'thuzad.
While Season of Discovery ends, World of Warcraft Classic's future remains bright, with a busy 2025 planned. The long-term plans for Seasonal realms are still under wraps.
