In the Seeds of Renewal, players level 60-70 will have the opportunity to play through Normal difficulty Dragonflight dungeons solo, or with friends, with a little help from a few NPC teammates. You’ll be able to earn appropriate level gear for your specialization within these dungeons the same as you would running through any Normal difficulty dungeon.

Whether you want to experience the dungeon for the first time as a solo player or you want to have a friend or two join you to learn the mechanics and boss fights, you can queue to join this new type of dungeon feature right within the Group Finder (I) tool.

Dungeons Available:

• Ruby Life Pools
• Nokhud Offensive
• Brackenhide Hollow
• Halls of Infusion
• Algeth’ar Academy
• Neltharus
• The Azure Vault
• Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr

Choose your role as either a healer, damage dealer, or tank within the dungeon as you would normally and NPC followers will fill in the gaps to complete your group of five.

Your new NPC friends will help buff you and even lay out a mage table for when you get peckish for a bite or two in the dungeon.

Once in the dungeon, you can make the choice to either lead the party through the dungeon, have another player in your group lead, or be led by one of the NPCs in you party. Simply toggle on “Dungeon Assistance” when you want to let go of the reins and let them lead the way. Your new followers, whether supporting you or leading, will go at your pace allowing you to explore the dungeon and get comfortable in your role within the dungeon.

When you want to take the lead again, you can turn off the Dungeon Assistance by clicking on the updated selection in the center of your screen.

Follower Dungeons are a fun and easy way to sharpen your skills in Dragonflight dungeons, gear up, or spend quality time exploring with a friend or two alongside your new NPC friends.

We look forward to seeing you in the Dragon Isles!

Discover the history of the Dragon Isles and meet a unique cast of characters, hear stories of old, and witness the iconography of a time before. Participate in Solo and Group activities within Traitor’s Rest with an hourly Public Event, plenty of opportunity to explore, and earn cosmetic rewards like Battle Pets, Mounts, and a Transmog set.

When Dragonflight: Seeds of Renewal arrives the week of January 16, players can head to the Roasted Ram Inn to collect the quest “To the Archives!” and begin their journey to Algeth’ar Academy in Thaldraszus where they will be directed to meet with Lead Archivist, Eadweard Dalyngrigge and his team of archaeologists and archivists at Traitor’s Rest.

This is the site of the famed Battle of Traitor’s Rest between Neltharion’s troops and all the cultures of the Dragon Isles from eons ago! There’s so much to be uncovered, discovered, and recovered here, and we’re going to need all the Archivists on deck to make it happen.

Excavation

Visit Geo-Archaeologist Roska Rocktooth to receive an elemental assistant specific to each site to help you discover Finds to excavate. Once a Find is located, plant a shaman totem and instruct your elemental pal to carefully excavate the spot to reveal a myriad of interesting Finds, from relics to enemies to take down.

Locating small and large Finds alike will trigger a minigame to challenge burgeoning Archivists—players must keep the element bar balanced using their elemental assistant to dig the relic up.

Technoscrying

Every site contains items that must be sought to reveal scenes from the distant past. Report to Techno-Archaeologist Zenata to receive a set of goggles called Technoscryers that help you locate specific items with directional pings and alerts leading you to their location.

Once an item is located, Zenata calibrates your goggles, and upon doing so, you’ll witness a scene from the past that will give context to the items or provide a small story.

Research

The more you know! Codicological Archeologist Nirobin uses his own mix of blue and bronze magic, along with a Relic, to create arcane familiars to assist in collecting related information from the site that the Relic is from.

Each site has its own type of adorable familiar that spawns copies of itself. Those copies seek out sources of related information. Players can accompany the original familiar and absorb the information once found. Weekly Quest completion helps to fill out Nirobin’s tome with more and more details on each site’s story.

Rewards

Small sites are available for those who like solo adventures, and those who wish to group up with their mates can join in group activities at large sites that last ten minutes with multi-stage scenarios. Players can participate in various activities, including excavating and fending off enemies. Once the event timer runs out, players will have to defend themselves against Doomshadow after the event to gain more pages to fill out their tomes.

Along with green, blue, or purple tomes that offer items and reputation once opened, players can gain the following rewards from Provisioner Aristra at Algeth’ar Academy:

• Clayscale Hornstrider Mount
