by Claire Feb 21,2025

World of Warcraft Classic's Season of Discovery concludes with its seventh and final phase, launching January 28th. This major update introduces the Karazhan Crypts dungeon, a challenging 5-player experience located beneath the iconic Karazhan tower. Simultaneously, the Scourge Invasions event unleashes waves of undead across Azeroth, offering new quests and rewards, including collectible Necrotic Runes for unique consumables.

The highlight of Phase 7 arrives February 6th: the infamous Naxxramas raid. This iconic raid, previously seen in Wrath of the Lich King, returns with a fresh twist. Players can test their mettle against its formidable challenges, including a new "Empower" difficulty mode for increased rewards and difficulty. Conquering Naxxramas' four wings unlocks access to the Frostwyrm Lair and the final encounters with Sapphiron and Kel'thuzad.
