Classic Season of Discovery brings Epic class weapons to modern WoW

The Season of Discovery in World of Warcraft Classic introduced exciting new content, including unique class-specific Epic weapons. Firstly, these coveted weapons are available to retail WoW players as part of the 20th-anniversary celebrations. Additionally, the Classic Timewalking event will allow players to visit iconic Classic dungeons and purchase these powerful weapons through the new vendor, Bobadormu, in exchange for Timewarped Badges. The available weapons and their costs in Timewarped Badges are as follows:

• Claymore of the Knight’s Pledge (Two-Handed Sword) – 2500 Badges
• Doomwail Reaper (Polearm) – 2500 Badges
• Doomreaper’s Scythe (Staff) – 2500 Badges
• Bearded Branch of Lore (Staff) – 2500 Badges
• Kirin Tor Adept’s Stave (Staff) – 2500 Badges
• Tusked Branch of War (Staff) – 2500 Badges
• Gilded Drakecrest Shield (Shield) – 2000 Badges
• Emberswirl Bulwark (Shield) – 2000 Badges
• Farstrider’s Huntsblade (One-handed Sword) – 1500 Badges
• Runed-Ice Dirk (Dagger) – 1500 Badges

These cosmetic weapons are not restricted to specific classes in retail WoW, unlike their Season of Discovery versions. For instance, the Farstrider’s Huntsblade, previously for hunters, can now be wielded by any character that uses one-handed swords, offering more flexibility in customization.

High costs and limited availability

Unfortunately, players have noticed new Epic weapons come at a high price. For example, the one-handed weapons costing 1500 Timewarped Badges, shields at 2000, and two-handed weapons at 2500 each. While the ability to transfer currency across accounts may ease the badge-collecting process, obtaining all the desired items may still be challenging during the event’s limited run. It’s unclear if Classic Timewalking will become a recurring event, so players are encouraged to grab these items while they’re available.

In addition to the Epic weapons, revamped Tier 2 sets will also be available during the Classic Timewalking event. Players can also look forward to rewards from past anniversaries, with plenty of content to explore when the event kicks off. Fans should stay tuned for more updates, as the event’s start date will be confirmed soon.
