World of Warcraft 10.1 Embers Of Neltharion Revealed

Blizzard has revealed the first major patch for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, titled 10.1 Embers of Neltharion.

This update advances the story of the Dragonflight expansion, as players uncover the secret lab of Neltharion- better known to older WoW fans as Deathwing.

It includes new zones, and even includes a new NPC race- the Niffen mole-people, as well as the return of the Drogbar.

Of course, there’s also a new raid- with 9 whole bosses, as Scalecommander Sarckareth tries to claim the secrets of the lab.

Here’s the features currently announced for the 10.1 patch in World of Warcraft:

• NEW ZONE: Zaralek Cavern
  • New quests, denizens to befriend, exploration, dragonriding updates and more await in this mysterious underground cavern.
• NEW RAID: Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible
  • Aberrus is a secret laboratory hidden within Zaralek Cavern and where Neltharion not only created the Dracthyr but also succumbed to the whispers of the Old Gods.
  • Players will face ninebosses in an effort to thwart the incarnates as well as Scalecommander Sarkareth, whose forces seek to claim the legacy of the Dracthyr.
  • Like Season 1, normal, heroic, and mythic difficulties will release simultaneously.
• NEW MYTHIC+ ROTATION:
  • The remaining Dragonflight dungeons will enter the fray:
    • Brackenhide Hollow
    • Halls of Infusion
    • Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr
    • Neltharus
  • Four dungeons returning from past expansions will provide new challenges to keep the M+ rotation fresh:
    • Freehold, Battle for Azeroth
    • The Underrot, Battle for Azeroth
    • Neltharion’s Lair, Legion
    • Vortex Pinnacle, Cataclysm
  • Seasonal affixes are in development and will be available for testing later in the PTR cycle.

Embers of Neltharion will be coming to the Public Testing Realm (PTR) on March 11th, while the main build of the game will be getting the 10.0.7 update on March 22nd.

Here’s what you can look forward to in 10.0.7:

• New Max-level Zone: The Forbidden Reach
  • This zone includes new content for max-level players delving into the troubles left behind by the meddling Primalists and the chaos sewn among the elements.
• Zskera Vaults
  • Max level players exploring the depths of the Forbidden Reach will aid the Dragonscale Expedition as they delve into these newly discovered vaults ripe with enemies, puzzles to solve, and treasures to plunder.
• Monk Class Expansion
  • Lightforged Draenei, Worgen, and Goblins can now play as the Monk class.
