Burning CrusadeKarazhanLegion Karazhan New Karazhan Mythic Dungeon

From the moment of its mysterious creation, the purpose of this dark tower has been intertwined with the history of the Guardians of Tirisfal, once Azeroth's greatest bulwark against the Legion. It is now best known as the home of Medivh, who tragically betrayed Azeroth and brought the unbroken chain of Guardians to an end. This legacy makes Karazhan a place of particular interest for the Legion, who have descended in full force in an effort to open a new front in their war on the denizens of Azeroth. — Patch Notes: Patch 7.1

New Trial of Valor Raid

Since Loken's betrayal, Odyn has been trapped within the Halls of Valor as Helya plots in the shadows to claim the souls of his valarjar champions. In recent days, however, great heroes have arrived in the lands of Stormheim in the Legion's wake. Hoping that their might and determination could tip the scales and end Helya's reign, Odyn summons these champions for a final test.

The Continuing Suramar Campaign

Your heroic efforts in Suramar continue with a series of quests that unlock over a period of nine weeks, ultimately leading you to the very entrance of the Nighthold. Delve into the story of the Nightfallen insurrection against the Nightborne and their Legion allies, and you can obtain the wondrous Arcanist's Manasaber mount.

/oldComment by m2geekMakes me feel "home sick" :(

*SO* many great memories from Legion.Comment by VespasianoI loved the revamped Karazan and thnew raid, also the transmog rewards for just clearing the raid were awesome and something thay I still wear on my characters today.
At the same time I remember how much I despised the Suramar campaign that was timegated to a 15 min quest that had a week of cooldown, to think that Blizzard later doubled down on that trash and became the standard...Comment by AlienatedfleaLegion was released in 8/30...and its first patch was released 10/25...

Good lord, I miss the days of content instead of the eons of content droughts we see today...:(Comment by KelyndeaThat makes me feel old.... right before Legion I came back to WoW after having paused with MoP, since then I kept playing but my gametime expires in a few days.

Just thinking about the dates: 7.1 got released just a bit over three months after the Legion pre-patch hit and not even two months after Legion actually went live. Compare this to Shadowlands, where 9.1 hit the servers about seven months after the latest expension went live.Comment by seeqholy $%^& im getting old :D legion was so awesome im still wearing the plate set from argus and hidden blood dk artifact skin. they need to design more stuff like this tbh.Comment by couchpotato2013Legion was released in 8/30...and its first patch was released 10/25...

I remember having a lot of fun in the new kara. Even if it was a ballache later in m+ with some affixes.Comment by leowowOhh Panzer I miss her videos in wowhead.Comment by ZavvThe Good Ol' DaysComment by WillowwhispOhh Panzer I miss her videos in wowhead.Comment by AugustPrimeLegion was such a good xpac. Amazing class fantasy. Lots of content delivered at steady intervals. A lot of great lore, although some of it was a bit contrived.

Wishing we could return to that kind of structure but the only reason Legion was so amazing was because the devs spent so much time on it after they jumped ship WoD to try to save the game :(Comment by TigerusAnd it's 77 days till the next patch anniversary.
Meanwhile in Shadowlands...Comment by dotkeeperLegion was released in 8/30...and its first patch was released 10/25...
