NEW RAID - NY'ALOTHA

The new raid coming in Patch 8.3 is Nya'lotha, the sleeping city that works as the major base of operations for the Black Empire. After N'Zoth has been freed thanks to our efforts in the Eternal Palace, he returns to Nya'lotha, and we confront him and his twisted minions on a final confrontation that should not only decide the fate of Azeroth but of the universe as a whole.

In Nya'lotha, we will face many former friends (or foes) as corrupted versions of themselves - Wrathion, Ra-Den, Queen Azshara, Vexiona and even Il'gynoth!

ALLIED RACES - VULPERA AND MECHAGNOME

VULPERA

Vulpera are cunning nomadic scavengers capable of turning what they find into opportunities to thrive.

Clever and resourceful, the vulpera of Vol'dun have survived amidst the sands for generations. Eager to join the ranks of the Horde, their caravans have departed from the dunes in search of adventure.

The serpentine sethrak have taken to subjugating anyone they can as slaves, and the vulpera are an easy target for their machinations. If you've taken steps to liberate the vulpera from these overseers, they'll join the Horde on the battlefield.

Leveling your new vulpera from 20 to 120 will earn a cosmetic Heritage Armor set that is unique to this new Allied Race.

MECHAGNOME

Scrappy and resourceful, mechagnomes have improved their fleshy forms with top-notch prosthetics.

Though they once sought to mechanize themselves completely, the mechagnomes now seek a balance between flesh and steel. Emerging from years of isolation on Mechagon, they bring both ingenuity and aptitude to the Alliance.

They left Gnomeregan to construct a metal metropolis, Mechagon. However, their once wise and ambitious ruler King Mechagon now ruthlessly rules over them with an iron fist.

Work together with the Rustbolt Resistance to overthrow their tyrant so these mechanical mavericks will join the Alliance.

WORGEN AND GOBLIN HERITAGE ARMOR

The Worgen and Goblin Heritage Armor, originally supposed to come in Patch 8.2.5 and then delayed, is arriving in Patch 8.3, Visions of N'Zoth!

TITAN ASSAULTS

The first sign of N'Zoth's power we're going to witness first hand are Assaults by his minions, on two key locations in Azeroth that are home to Titan facilities. Now, these Titan facilities are our world's last defence, our final bulwark against N'Zoth coming completely into our world and plunging it into madness.

First off: Uldum, home of the Halls of Origination, great titan vault, is going to come under regular assault by the minions of N'Zoth. When an assault is active in the zone, players will rally to Uldum and battle across the zone against the Old God's minions.

Another key location that is home to a major titan facility is the Vale of Eternal Blossoms back in Pandaria - Mogu'shan Palace. Now, last time we saw the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, it had been blighted with dark Sha energy unleashed by Garrosh towards the end of Mists of Pandaria. Now, the passage of time, hence, the natural of redemption that came in the end of that arc has finally healed these old, old wounds to the land, and the Vale stands fully restored to its original glory, all players to visit in this next content update. At least, till it comes under attack by the minions of the Old God, and it's once again plunged into a new type of darkness. Don't worry, it is only going to look like this as long as N'Zoth is actively attacking the zone. Otherwise, in the long run, the pristine Vale is here to stay.

BLACKTALON SHROUD - LEGENDARY CLOACK

In Patch 8.3 Visions of N'zoth, a new Legendary Cloak will be available for players to obtain and upgrade called the Blacktalon Shroud. This cloak will be useful in Horrific Visions and even the raid!

The Legendary cloak currently on PTR is named

Ashjra'kamas, Shroud of Resolve and can be upgraded using

Horrific Core. The cloak starts at Rank 1 and can be currently upgraded to a maximum of Rank 15. Each upgrade will increase the Item Level and the Sanity Loss Reduction bonus, with extra bonuses at Ranks 5, 10 and 15.

As the N'zoth encounter in the raid also has sanity drain, this cloak appears to be important for those encounters!

The cloak itself also gets an appearance upgrade at Rank 5 and Rank 10!
