Season 33 Battle Pass: Ordeal of Steel
The unworthy rust and shatter upon the shields of the mighty and true. Only those tempered in the fires of the fiercest battles can call themselves true steel.
The Season 33 Battle Pass galvanizes Sanctuary on November 21, at 3 a.m. server time, containing a Battle Pass containing 40 ranks worth of rewards, such as Crests, Hilts, Legendary Gems, and more.
Begin slaying demons and climbing your way through the ranks today before the red-hot metal cools on December 3, 2:59 a.m. server time.
Mourneskull Legendary Gem Crafting
As the Eternal War rages, craftsmen witnessing Azeroths’ mastery of gemwork have gleaned new techniques.
While Eternal War is active from November 13, 3:00 a.m.—December 11, 2:59 a.m. local server time, you’ll be able to craft this powerful Legendary Gem. Its power is such that it can even summon an avatar of the Lich King himself. Do not miss this opportunity to create such a vision.
Returning Events
Fractured Plane
In a place like Sanctuary, even those with the greatest mental fortitude can find themselves lost to the unrelenting darkness spread by the Burning Hells: broken, shattered, trapped in the deepest recesses of their mind. Entering the Fractured Plane is the only way forward. This event will run from November 15, 3 a.m.–November 22, 3 a.m. server time. For more information about the Fractured Plane event, please visit this article.
Hungering Moon
The moon, underfed, demands sustenance… providing you with an upcoming opportunity to sate its seemingly endless appetite for blood!
The moonlit path you’ll take to heed your lunar overlord’s howl is ready to be travelled. Players can complete up to three tasks a day between November 16, 3 a.m.–November 23, 2:59 a.m. server time. For more information about Hungering Moon, please visit this article.
Wild Brawl
Enlist your most trusted companions and outlast enemy teams in the Wild Brawl event. In this unique, limited-time PVP event from November 22, 3 a.m.–November 29, 2024, 3 a.m. server time, players start at Level 1, work together in teams of 6 to explore an expansive map, and endure to become the last surviving team. Equip discovered gear, gain experience to strengthen your power, and slay everything in sight to win the battle. This arena-style game mode ends when one team has outlasted the others to make their eternal mark on Sanctuary. For more information about Wild Brawl, please visit this article.
Shady Stock
Yakin has once again come into possession of some liberated merchandise, likely plucked from a far-away excavation. His Shady Stock is in high demand and will be available to peruse from November 23, 3 a.m.–November 30, 3 a.m. server time, or until Westmarch’s guards raid his supply.

Feature Updates
Blessed Reign Adjustments
The conditions for Immortal Clans to earn a Blessed Reign have been updated. Now, it requires an Immortal Clan to claim victory during the Rite of Exile on Week 7 instead of winning during the Challenge of the Immortal battle.
Additionally, the number of victories for Shadows to win the Rite of Exile has been adjusted, during weeks 5-7 Shadows must win 4 battles during the Rite of Exile to win and begin the Challenge of the Immortal. Regardless of the outcome for the Rite of Exile, the Challenge of the Immortal will still happen on Week 7, so the top 10 Shadow Clans can all fight for the next Immortal reign.
This means that it would take 7 wins for the Immortals to win, and 4 for the Shadows to win.
Reigns that are currently ongoing will inherit these new rules.
Battlegrounds and Tower War Group Leader Changes
Some players use the feature of applying to become Group Leader maliciously when playing in Tower War or Battlegrounds. To prevent this from happening, applying to be the Group Leader now has a cooldown.
Familiar Conversion Preview UI Updates
When Converting your Familiar, we’ve updated the UI so you’ll see which Traits are being converted in a few different places. You’ll be able to see it under each Familiar’s name and in the Preview side panel.
Additionally, when selecting the detailed view toggle (located on the right of the Convert button), the side panel shows detailed information on each Skill and Trait listed in the pool.
This should help clarify exactly which Traits are contributing to the pool that the final Familiar will be pulling from.
Hell II Leaderboard Changes
Once you’ve unlocked Hell II, we’ve reordered the order of the Leaderboard to present more relevant content at the top of the list.
Wings Appearance Toggle
Wing cosmetics—such as the Prophet’s Progeny wings—can now be toggled to either reveal the enhanced effects, or display the default base wing appearance.
