July is Going to Be a Big Month for World of Warcraft Classic
Fans of World of Warcraft Classic need to mark a few important dates in July on their calendars, as there are some big changes coming to the servers.
Now, the third and final part of World of Warcraft Patch 11.1.5 is almost here. Dastardly Duos is a new limited-time event coming to the game on June 3. A Building Azeroth development video about this feature went into further detail about how it works; players can step into the arena with premade groups, strangers, NPC Follower allies, or even completely alone. After fighting hordes of classic enemies, fans face off against two iconic bosses from the past, wracking up points the better they perform. Powerful buffs and powers can be used to turn the tide of battle in their favor – though those seeking even greater challenges can nerf themselves with the Shrimpy Fish or Hot Dog to gain multipliers on their point totals.

There are some exciting new rewards to obtain in Dastardly Duos, including the Tyrannotort mount, the Mean-Ball pet, and Champion track gear. Several toys can be earned from this event as well, including the Winner’s Podium – a toy that lets players display their Dastardly Duos score and item level – and the Dastardly Banner, which aggros all enemies in the arena when used during the event. These rewards are earned by completing introductory and weekly quests offered by Vinnie Sweets near the event venues in Dornogal, Stormwind, and Orgrimmar.
The bosses themselves are drawn from some of the most iconic dungeons from early World of Warcraft, including Rattlegore from Scholomance, Glubtok from Deadmines, and Broggok from Blood Furnace. Four of the 10 bosses will be available the first week, with more added incrementally throughout the event. Though fans only face two of these bosses at once normally, players looking for more challenge and greater point totals can use the Bullhorn of Calling during the match to summon extra bosses – ambitious contestants can even face all of them at once.

The Turbulent Timeways Timewalking event in World of Warcraft Patch 11.1.7 is currently scheduled to begin on June 19, according to the Public Test Realm, meaning both it and Dastardly Duos will probably run concurrently for several weeks. Needless to say, it seems like WoW fans will have plenty to keep them busy this summer.
