The World of Warcraft Dragonflight has returned with a new challenge.

In the Fractures in Time content update, you must venture into time to push back the encroaching chaos from other timelines and ensure future preservation.

You’ll also be able to tend whelps in the Ruby Lifeshrine, embrace the way of the Warlock as the class expands to all races, specialize as the new dracthyr Augmentation Evoker, and more.

NEW MEGA-DUNGEON: DAWN OF THE INFINITE

Gather your teammates and venture into an eight-boss NEW MEGA-DUNGEON: DAWN OF THE INFINITE. The future of Azeroth is at stake, and only you can ensure the timelines remain preserved, hopefully with a minimal number of paradoxes.

This Mythic-only quest rewards you with the loot all-time warpers covet, with a wide variety of powerful gear, Dragonriding customizations, and more.

NEW EVOKER SPECIALIZATION: AUGMENTATION

Emberthal and Ebyssian are working together to release the Black dragonflight essence that had been siphoned from the Dracthyr during their long stasis, unlocking memories and powers forgotten to them.

Augmentation is a damage-dealer character that harnesses the essence of black and bronze dragonflights to augment the abilities of nearby allies. Their playstyle focuses on empowering allies’ abilities to increase their damage output and using the Evoker’s direct damage spells to improve these empowerments’ effects.

Augmentation’s core capabilities will feel familiar to Evoker players, including spending essences, casting arcane spells, and utilizing movement abilities to navigate the battlefield.

However, the specialization also offers a range of new tools that can aid evokers in manipulating the environment for their benefit and supporting their allies.

TIME RIFTS

Due to recent events, the time streams have become increasingly more unstable, causing the boundaries between timelines to weaken. As a result, minions from other timelines begin pouring through into the Dragon Isles.

You can team up with other players to push back against the waves of minions. Venture into the Time Rifts, and plug the hole by taking down the bosses in alternate timelines to set the time ways straight again. Gather artifacts and take them back to Soridormi to finish the quests.

Once completed, each Time Rift has a chance to grant a reward based on what timelines you’ve encountered, and you can never obtain the same reward twice!

Upgrade Your Warlock and New Pets

Players who choose Night Elf, Draenei, Lightforged Draenei, Pandaren, Kul Tiran, Tauren, Highmountain Tauren, Mag’har Orc, or Zandalari Troll can now create Warlock classes. In addition, new questlines are available exclusively for Warlocks, and players can use the Barbershop to customize their pets.

Help Wanted: Inquire at the Whelp Daycare

The dragons have more eggs than they can manage, so they have called in the crew at the Little Scales Daycare to help. The crew quickly finds it overwhelmed and so has asked for a little help from you. You’ll guide five dragon whelps as they grow and learn about the dragon flights, collect new pets, achievements, and more.

New Bonus Event: Kalimdor Cup
