It’s been 20 years since the servers forWorld of Warcraftwent live, caught fire, rebooted, and eventually started working. Now’s our chance to revisit the last 20 years on Azeroth. There’s plenty to do to collect fancy armor redesigns from the olden days, new toys, mounts, and plenty of pets.
The celebration takes place in Tanaris at the entrance to the Caverns of Time. You can use the portal in your faction’s capital to get there quickly. You’ll find many fun activities, quests, and vendors all over, so check it out!
What can you do during the 20th Anniversary Celebration in WoW?
Celebrating the history ofWorld of Warcraftis no easy task. What do you focus on for 20 years of content? The answer is a little bit of everything! What’s great about this event is that it isn’t just quests and raids; there are player interaction events, too.
A series of events are on regular rotation, including “Story Time,” “Fashion Frenzy,” “and Mount Mania.” Players can participate in all of them and earn some achievements towards a special mount. Participating in these events is also part of the weekly quest to earn Bronze Celebration Tokens, but more on that later.
“Story Time” has players hanging out while Lorewalker Cho tells a story fromWarcraft‘s history. Players can participate with prompts to do things like cheer and throw rotten apples. “Fashion Frenzy” is like the “Trial of Style,” except any number of players can participate. Players get ribbons and run around handing them to the most fashionable people around them. “Mount Mania” asks players to group up and try to summon the same mounts as the host. Odds are you won’t have all 15, but with a little luck you’ll win the competition! These are very low stakes but extremely fun to play in.
Besides that, players can go hunt down world bosses across Tanaris and other zones. you may also queue for the new Classic Timewalking dungeons. There’s also a redone Blackrock Depths raid and a return to previous events like Korrak’s Revenge for PVP. There’s a lot to do and a lot to earn.
What can you get with Bronze Celebration Tokens?
The biggest reward here is going to be the Eternal Tier 2 sets. Redesigns of iconic sets from the earliest days ofWoWare available to collect for all classes. Classes that didn’t exist back then have some unique-looking sets. Beyond that, there are some new toys and battle pets, as well as Blizzard Service transmogs. These are in-game item appearances based on the look of the real-life items given to Blizzard employees after many years of service.
How do you get Bronze Celebration Tokens?
There are several ways to get Bronze Celebration Tokens, and most are repeatable. The introductory quests “Meet and Greet” and “Shopping Squee!” are one-time per Warband and give you 10 Tokens each. Truth of the Dark Irons! will give you 5 Bronze.
Completing the weekly quest “Celebrate Good Fun!” gives you 3 Bronze. Weekly events in Khaz Algar grant 1 Bronze each. This means the weekly stuff you’ve likely already been doing to help gear up. Weekly Quests in Khaz Algar, like the “Call of the Delves” and “Archive: Seeking History,” grant 2 Bronze each. To earn 3 Bronze, you’ll want to complete the 20th Anniversary-specific weekly quests. These include “The Originals,” “Soldier of Time,” “Chromie’s Codex,” “An Original Path through time,” and the like. You’ll find these quests in the celebration outside the Caverns of Time.
There are repeatable activities as well. Defeating bosses in the Blackrock Depths raid, beating the Anniversary World Bosses, running Classic Timewalking dungeons, the Codex of Chromie scenario, and daily Korrak’s Revenge quests all give extra tokens.
Timewarped Badges Rewards
You may have a lot of these stored up already if you’re a big fan of doing the Timewalking dungeons. You’ll need quite a few to purchase everything. Fortunately, these can be acquired by doing the Classic Timewalking dungeons and related quests. I recommend going for the Titles, as those are least likely to return when Classic Timewalking cycles back into the weekly events in a few months.
What are the Anniversary Event Achievements?
There’s a slick new Coldflame Tempest mount to collect. Its design is based on the same Coldflame armaments you can unlock with Bronze Tokens. To get it requires you to complete the meta-achievement “A Cool Twenty Years.” That requires the following achievements:
The Token Collector achievement requires you to collect 100 Bronze Celebration Tokens during the event. It will become a Feat of Strength achievement afterward. Other achievements for this event include:
What else is in WoW’s 20th Anniversary Patch?
The celebration event isn’t the only thing that changed with patch 11.0.5. There’s a lot of refreshes to old events, big class changes, and more. Check out the list below for a quick rundown.
