World of Warcraft: Dragonflight’s consistent content stream has been a breath of fresh air after two controversial expansions. There is so much to look forward to now and just when players begin to get bored, Blizzard releases even more content to enjoy. 10.1.5 will continue this trend by adding new public events, new quests, a new Mega-Dungeon,a whole new Evoker specialization, numerous Class tweaks, and even a brand-new Dragonriding event in the old world. There may be even more secrets in store, but players will just have to wait and see as the July 11th release date nears.

WoW’s New Mega-Dungeon
One of the biggest new additions coming with patch 10.1.5 Fractures in Time is the brand-new Mega-Dungeon Dawn of the Infinite. This will be an eight-boss Mythic-only dungeon centered around the conflict between the Infinite and Bronze Dragonflights. Players will travel across the timeways to stop the Infinite Dragonflight from destroying the timeline and triggeringthe transformation of Nozdormu into Murozond. They will have to do everything in their power to hold Azeroth’s timeline together so that the world does not fall into chaos.
This dungeon will see players take on various iconic Infinite Dragonflight members as well as characters from throughout history. They will have to fight the likes ofthe Primal Incarnate Iridikron the Stonescaled, Tyr, the alternate form of Chromie named Morchie, and even the sands of time itself. One of the coolest encounters comes in the form of a faction-specific boss battle that will see Horde players fight Anduin Lothar while Alliance players fight Garrosh Hellscream. It is a great way to bring back these iconic characters, and should hopefully be a fun fight.
Time Rifts and New Quests
The main focus ofWorld of Warcraft10.1.5 Fractures of Timeis the breaking of time itself, and players will have to fight desperately against that destruction in the brand-new Time Rifts public event. Time Rifts will appear on Azeroth, and it will be up to the players to close them. This will bring them to many different alternate realities including Azmerloth and the Black Empire, and will see players face off against all sorts of minions from these timelines. Completing these wild events will reward players with new currencies and cosmetics that are likely themed after these various timelines.
This update will also introduce manynew quests forWorld of Warcraftplayers to completeas they experience everything this update has to offer. A new Whelp Daycare questline will task the player with raising five dragon whelps, Eon’s Fringe will feature new repeatable content, and the Time Rifts will have quests of their own. While these quests will likely not be as substantial as the story chapters in 10.1, they should still help expand Dragonflight in interesting new ways.

Various Class Updates and a New Evoker Spec
Just like with every patch,World of Warcraft10.1.5 will also feature various class tweaks and updates. While it will be filled with many buffs and nerfs, Blizzard is also expanding the Evoker and Warlock classes. Every single race will be able to play as a Warlock, and a new quest line will let Warlock players unlock a new pet customization feature. They will be able to go to any Barbershop and create theWoWwarlock demon petof their dreams. This should give players a lot more flexibility in who they want to be on Azeroth and will likely lead to some interesting looking pets.
The Evoker will also be getting its long-lost third specialization when this update launches.The Augmentation Evokerwill utilize the powers of the Black and Bronze dragons to bolster their allies and unleash devastation on their foes. Its primary role in combat seems to be as a support unit that uses its mobility to quickly provide buffs to all its allies, but it can also inflict a lot of damage if it needs to. This addition may be just what the Evokers needed, and it will be interesting to see what players do with its powerful abilities.
Kalimdor Dragonriding
The final major feature coming withWorld of Warcraft10.1.5 is the brand-new Kalimdor Grand Prix event.Dragonriding has been one of the best featuresin Dragonflight, but it has been locked to the Dragon Isles since launch. This new event will change that as it will introduce 16 Dragonriding races to the continent of Kalimdor. Players will be able to earn Riders of Azeroth Badges as they complete the races which can then be traded for new transmog and dragon customization. This event will only last for a limited time, so players may want to act fast when it goes live.
The only downside to this new event is that Dragonriding will still be limited in Azeroth. Players will only be able to do it during this event while participating in the races. While it is cool to see Dragonriding get added to other parts of the world, it would be even cooler if it was a permanent fixture. Hopefully, this event is going to be Blizzard’s way of testing the feature for the future.
