New Level Cap - 40

In the video, Senior Game Producer Josh Greenfield, Lead Software Engineer Nora Valletta, and host Bethany Stout confirm that the next level band in Season of Discovery is going to be from level 25 to level 40. While the timing on this increase is not yet confirmed, Blizzard developers have talked about keeping the different phases relatively short from eachother.

If you are wondering which zones are going to become relevant in the upcoming 25-40 level band, some of them include fan-favorites such as Stranglethorn Vale and Alterac Mountains:

Zone Level Range
Thousand Needles 25-35
Alterac Mountains 30-40
Arathi Highlands 30-40
Desolace 30-40
Stranglethorn Vale 30-45

New Level 40 Raid - Gnomeregan

Similar to Blackfathom Deeps, the next dungeon that will be recreated into Raid content is going to be Gnomeregan. While there were some teases about this at BlizzCon, now it's officialy confirmed by the developers. This is already one of the longer dungeons in Classic at that level range, so it does seem like a perfect choice to become a Raid. Here is a list of bosses that currently reside in the dungeon, which we expect go receive big changes in Season of Discovery:

  • Grubbis
  • Viscous Fallout
  • Electrocutioner 6000
  • Crowd Pummeler 9-60
  • Dark Iron Ambassador (Rare)
  • Mekgineer Thermaplugg
