Hello guys. We bring you the content update notes for Season 4.
Dungeon and Raid Updates
New Raid: Ny'alotha, Awakening City
Delve into the source of nightmares in Ny'alotha, Waking City, a 12-boss warband in the void-pregnant heart of the Black Empire. Face unhinged heralds and inscrutable terrors, ultimately coming face to face with N'Zoth himself in the ultimate battle for the survival of Azeroth.
The Normal and Heroic difficulties of Ny'alotha, Waking City are now available. Mythic Difficulty and Raid Finder Wing 410 (Minimum Item Level 29) - Fate's Vision - will be available next week, January XNUMXth.
You can find more information about the band and the band finder calendar here.
New Mythic Dungeon Affix: Awake
Season 4 has a new affix: Awake. While active, players will discover four obelisks throughout the dungeon that will lead them through the veil to the shadow world of Ny'alotha. There they will face a powerful lieutenant of N'Zoth (and his minions), whom they must defeat so that they do not combine their forces with the final boss of the room. Once downed, the group will return to the reality of their current location. This will allow for some cool jumps that don't involve the use of Shroud of Concealment or rogue invisibility.
- Corruptor's Blood (Defiled Needle of Ny'alotha): When faced with this aberration, a foul snot will rot the ground at the feet of two Heroes, dealing 60 damage per second.
- Samh'rek, Summoner of Chaos (Entropic Spire of Ny'alotha): True to his title, Samh'rek will wreak destruction with Torrential Terror, a powerful debuff that targets three players and scares all nearby Heroes for a few seconds.
- Urg'roth, Breaker of Heroes (Brutal Spire of Ny'alotha): Few are able to withstand the merciless fury that Urg'roth puts on players with Spiritbreaker, greatly increasing the damage taken by a target for a moderate period and dealing devastating damage to players in Dark Fury.
- Voidweaver mal'thir (Cursed Spire of Ny'alotha): This powerful foe withers the minds and bodies of champions to near uselessness with its Crippling Pestilence and Lingering Doubt spells, which deal massive damage and slow spell movement and casting speeds.
Mechagon - Scrapyard and Mechagon - Workshop
Operation: Mechagon enters the Mythic Keystone dungeon rotation this season in the form of two new rooms: the Scrapyard and the Workshop. Each one has four bosses that have been adapted to the progression of Season 4.
Items and rewards
New: Corrupted Items
With the launch of Season 4, you'll have the chance to obtain more Corruption-infused gear from a number of new sources, including Mythic Keystone Dungeons, PvP Activities, and the Ny'alotha Raid, Waking City. Corrupted items, desecrated by N'Zoth, offer exceptional power for a price. The more you put on, the more damage your spells will deal or the more powerful your heals will be, but the corruption will begin to affect you in increasingly dangerous ways. At low levels of Corruption, the damage you take may periodically slow you down, while at higher levels, the evil forces of the Void can attack you at any time.
You can find more details about the corrupted items here.
New Essence: Formless Void
Available from the Ny'alotha Raid, Waking City, this Essence grants new powers and a unique passive that provides a degree of resistance to corruption.
Mythic Keystone Dungeon Rewards
In Season 4 you can get many powerful pieces of equipment as rewards.

Player vs. Player
Welcome to Season 4: Corruption
Season 4 weaves a tangle of new player-versus-player content, including the redesign and visual update of the Zephyr Canyon. The new version, inspired by the Arathi Basin, has five capture points for teams to contest. Maintaining control of the Market, Farm, Ruins, Shrine, and Quarry will be key to your success, as the first faction to reach 1500 points wins!
Participants will be able to win two new vicious faction-themed mounts, and those with higher scores will unlock the Notorious Gladiator mounts.
Player vs. Player Rewards Updates
- The item level for rewards earned from War Chests at all PVP levels (Unrated, Combatant, Contender, Rival, Duelist, and Gladiator) has been increased by 30.
- End of encounter rewards item level increased by 30 at all PvP tiers.
New Brawl: Crowded Islands
This large-scale battle adds a new challenge to PvP Island Expeditions by increasing player totals from 6 to 20 on the largest islands (such as Shelter Forest and Jorundall).
When the brawl is active, players can join the fight by opening the party finder (default shortcut: i), selecting it in the Player vs. Player tab, and queuing.
World bosses
While many of the great threats that seek to destroy the peace of Azeroth are locked in ancient chambers or on top of impregnable fortresses, others roam at ease in Uldum and the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
- Grand Empress Shek'zara: The Great Empress Shek'zara uses her powerful voice and the swarm keeper Zara'thik to overwhelm her enemies.
- Vuk'laz the Groundbreaker: This living weapon of war overwhelms its enemies with devastating physical attacks. In the heat of battle, Vuk'laz summons Vicious Sand Beetles to aid him.
New Heroic Warfront: Darkshore
Battle for Darkshore
In Season 4 you can enjoy the heroic version of the Darkshore Warfront. As in Stromgarde on Heroic Difficulty, you will have to coordinate with an already created group of 10-20 players to overcome the tireless enemy forces. Successful players will be able to get gear with item level 460 as a reward.
Interact with the war table in Boralus or in the Port of Zuldazar together with your band to join the battle. Note that the option to queue for the Heroic Warfront Battle for Darkshore will be available the next time one of the factions launches an assault on Darkshore in a given region. Regions immersed in a Battle for Darkshore cycle will be able to access Heroic Difficulty the next time Darkshore is attacked during Season 4.
