Shortly before the release of the WoW new patch 10.2.5 “Seeds of Renewal” in WoW there is a video. This summarizes what you need to know about the upcoming update and gives you an insight into the new rewards you can collect.
The most important innovations summarized:
- Hang gliding is now possible everywhere on Azeroth and you can choose whether you fly “normal” or “dynamic”. Dracthyr can use their racial ability to do this.
- There is a new flight event with rewards in Outland.
- The story continues after the current Amirdrassil raid and new quests prepare the next expansion, The War Within .
- Reclaiming Gilneas is coming as an event with new rewards.
- Night elves get a new capital: Bel'ameth, which even Horde players can visit . There are portals to Feralas and Darkshore in Bel'ameth.
- You can play “follower dungeons” solo or with up to 3 players, in which NPCs take on any roles .
- The Archives of Azeroth are essentially bringing back the vanished archeology profession as an event.
- Trolls and Draenei are getting new customization options.
- Many holidays are getting an update.
When will patch 10.2.5 be released?
The patch will be released on Tuesday, January 16th or in Europe on Wednesday, January 17th, 2024. Depending on whether there is longer maintenance work, the servers should be ready for play by around 9 a.m. in the morning.
New rewards in patch 10.2.5
You will receive cosmetic rewards for many of the new activities. In the Outland Cup, the dragon riding event in Outland, you get a new transmog set.
If you retake Gilneas you will also receive transmog parts and a new mount. However, we don't yet know what that will be. You start the event in the Silver Forest with Genn Graumane or Calia Menethil.
The Archives of Azeroth bring similar rewards to archeology. For the excavations you will receive cosmetic equipment, battle pets and mounts. What's new is that there are also group excavations that you can tackle together with other players.
After patch 10.2.5 we continue with a strict roadmap:
