Phase 4 of WoW Classic Fresh brings one of the most content-rich updates in the Anniversary cycle. It blends deep PvE content, including new raids and class questlines, with exciting world events that lay the foundation for the future Ahn'Qiraj War Effort. In this extended guide, we’ll walk you through every key feature of Phase 4: from the 20-player Zul’Gurub raid to Nightmare Dragon world bosses, fishing tournaments, Silithus activities, and more.

WoW Classic Fresh Phase 4 Release Date The official release date for Phase 4 is May 1, 2025. On this day, all players will gain access to the following major features:

• Stirring of the Silithid pre-Ahn’Qiraj activities in Silithus

Zul’Gurub: 20-Player Raid and Troll God Battles The new Zul’Gurub raid offers a 20-player format and contains 13 bosses, including the final encounter against Hakkar the Soulflayer. The instance, located in Eastern Stranglethorn, is accessible without any attunement and is perfect for smaller guilds or organized pick-up groups.

Boss list:

• Five High Priests: Arlokk, Jeklik, Mar'li, Thekal, Venoxis

• Core Bosses: Bloodlord Mandokir, Jin'do the Hexer, Gahz'ranka

• Rotating Madness Event: Gri'lek, Hazza'rah, Renataki, Wushoolay

• Zandalar Tribe reputation system, rewarding armor sets (helm, shoulders, chest, legs, trinket)

• Epic loot drops from all bosses

• Rare mounts: Swift Zulian Tiger and Swift Razzashi Raptor

• Consumables, enchants, and more

Dungeon Set 2 (Tier 0.5) Questline Players who have collected their Dungeon Set 1 gear (8-piece blue set from level 55-60 dungeons) can now begin upgrading it to Dungeon Set 2 via a new questline. Quest initiation starts in your capital city: Alliance players speak to Deliana in Ironforge, and Horde players go to Mokvar in Orgrimmar. Requirements include level 58+ and possession of your class’s bracers.

Upgraded Set Names by Class:

• Druid: Feralheart Raiment

• Hunter: Beastmaster Armor

• Mage: Sorcerer’s Regalia

• Paladin: Soulforge Armor

• Priest: Vestments of the Virtuous

• Rogue: Darkmantle Armor

• Shaman: The Five Thunders

• Warlock: Deathmist Raiment

• Warrior: Battlegear of Heroism

This massive questline involves multiple steps, new dungeon bosses, and a 45-minute timed challenge in Stratholme. The resulting gear is not only powerful but visually enhanced and ready for future raids.

Dragons of Nightmare: World Bosses From the Emerald Dream The corrupted dragons Lethon, Emeriss, Taerar, and Ysondre now appear as powerful world bosses. Each one guards an Emerald Dream portal in Duskwood, Ashenvale, The Hinterlands, or Feralas. Their presence is marked by visual changes in the area, and defeating them requires full raid coordination.

Highlights:

• Unique debuffs and mechanics

• Powerful loot and crafting reagents

• Key role in Phase 4 endgame

Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza Every Sunday, players can participate in the weekly fishing tournament along the shores of Stranglethorn Vale. The goal is to catch 40 Speckled Tastyfish faster than anyone else.

Fishing Rewards:

• Special fishing belts

• Exclusive fishing rods and lures

• Vanity items and reputation rewards

Perfect for players looking for casual content, or those completing all in-game activities.

Silithus: Cult Activity and Insect Hive Threat Phase 4 introduces early events in Silithus leading up to the opening of the Gates of Ahn’Qiraj. Players will face increased Twilight’s Hammer cult presence and aggressive Silithid activity. The Cenarion Circle now offers new level 60 quests involving resource gathering, boss summoning, and disruption of cult rituals.

Key Activities:

• Twilight Elemental Dukes summonable via cultist gear and texts

• Reputation gains with the Cenarion Circle

• Prep work for Phase 5’s massive war event

PvP Status in Phase 4 There are no major PvP changes in Phase 4. After Phase 3’s introduction of Arathi Basin and rank system updates, players can continue earning honor in WSG, AB, and AV. Bonus honor weekends remain active.

Why Phase 4 is Good for PvP:

• Less PvP focus from the majority of players

• Easier to push higher ranks with less competition

• Ideal time to catch up or improve standing
