1 Million Plunder Gathered! Plunderkind Achieved by Soularpower
Well that didn't take long! We found out someone had broken the 700,000 Plunder milestone yesterday evening, and we're already done with the full amount now! Soularpower_ managed to grind it out a couple of hours ago in duos, and grabbed the Plunderkind achievement, so huge congratulations! It's been a week and a day since the event was released, and despite there being plenty of Plunder drop buffs since then it's still great to see someone get it all done already.

Dragonflight Season 4 Splash Screen
We have the splash screen for DF Season 4, as MrGM has dug it up! The main feature of the season is the new Fated raids, titled "Awakened" this time around. There's also a major rework of the dungeon loot system, as Heroic and Mythic0 items will go to a much higher item level, all of which you can read about here.
The timing of the season is still unknown. We do know Plunderstorm should last 6 weeks, but a part of those 6 may be during Season 4 so it doesn't really give us any real indication. World of Warcraft WoW 3 comments Mar 25, 2024 at 22:03
