WoW’s 15th Anniversary Event

WoW’s 15th anniversary celebration event is shaping up to be the biggest yet! This year the celebration will run from November 5th through January 7th for the Americas, November 6th through January 8th for Europe and November 7th through January 9th for Asia! A party this big needed a much bigger venue. You can find all of your anniversary event NPCs in the Caverns of Time! The Alliance can find a portal to Caverns of Time in their main portal room in the mage tower in Stormwind. The Horde’s portal to Caverns of Time is located down a ramp on the left-hand side just before you enter the main portal room in Orgrimmar. For a more in-depth look at the event please see WoWHead’s guide here.

The following information is for the Iron Man Challenge. For information on the challenge variants please see below.

The Anniversary Gifts
Logging in after the event goes live will reward you with an achievement. You’ll also receive an in-game mail with special event goodies. This year’s anniversary gift contains the following:
– The battle pet Lil’Nefarian. While you are ALLOWED to add this pet to your collection pet battling with your challenger is NOT ALLOWED.
– The Celebration Package when used will increase all experience and reputation gains by 15% until the event ends. This item is NOT ALLOWED.
– A Celebration Firework. This item does not appear to have any buffs associated with it and is ALLOWED.
– An Invitation from the Timewalkers. This starts a quest that will bring you to the Memories of Azeroth raid. Completing this questline will give you an item you can use to teleport to Caverns of time for the length of the event. There is a minimum level required to start this quest. During our testing, you needed to be level 60+ to complete the first part of this quest. At this time we are not sure if anyone lower then level 60 can start this quest. It does not award any experience, just more of a breadcrumb to lead you to the Caverns of Time. The next part of the chain takes you to the event’s battleground which is a no go for you. You do not need to do this quest to access the vendors or trivia historians. You can use the portal to Caverns of Time. The Alliance can find a portal to Caverns of Time in their main portal room in the mage tower in Stormwind. The Horde’s portal to Caverns of Time is located down a ramp on the left-hand side just before you enter the main portal room in Orgrimmar. Yes, you can use the portal to get there at level 1.

Vendor Items
There are a few new items available from the vendors scattered around the Caverns of Time. The Sugary Soul Shard, the Spellstone Delight, and the Ookerdooker Elixir. These are NOT ALLOWED and should be avoided with your challenger. Also available are special 15th anniversary balloons. These come in BlueRed. and are a one-time use item but you can have up to 20 in your bag. For those feeling a bit mischievous, you can purchase Sharpened Pins to pop the balloons. Both of these items are ALLOWED.

Trivia
Don’t panic if you can not find Historian Llore or Historian Ju’pa in your factions main city. They are located in the Caverns of Time this year. Take the portal to Caverns of Time from your faction’s main city. The Alliance can find a portal to Caverns of Time in their main portal room in the mage tower in Stormwind.

The trivia question is a daily quest once again!
