Introduction
As we approach the end of the Deathwing’s Cataclysm, we’re again having a pre-patch event to prepare us for the Mists of Pandaria Classic. This pre-patch event will come out on 2 July 2025. We’re going to run through all the things that are going to arrive with this update.
What’s new in Mists of Pandaria Pre-patch
There are going to be plenty of things added to close out the Cataclysm Classic. Here are the things that are added:
- New playable Race: The Pandaren are finally coming to the classic World of Warcraft, adding a whole new approach to the races we had previously in WoW!
- New playable class: New class, Monk, the fast-paced healer, tank, and DPS, ready to help you destroy the upcoming threats that loom over Azeroth. Three talents, Windwalker, Mistweaver, and Brewmaster, are here to spice things up!
- Reworked Classes: Classes are going to receive a few updates, notably a new talents system, improved spells!
- Pet Battles: They’re finally getting added to the Classic version of the game! Finally, your lovely companions will have a purpose other than looking cute!
- AOE Looting: The days of running to each mob are over. AOE looting, one of the best QoL changes, will hit Classic with the Pandaria Pre-patch!
- World Event Attack on Theramore Isle Now Available: Special scenario to introduce the players to the rich story that awaits us behind the Mists of Pandaria!
Joyous Journey’s is back
The Experience boost is now available on the Cataclysm realm to help players reach level 85 before the launch of the MoP Classic. Get ready to feel that nice boost and dive into the Isles of Pandaria, ready!
Baalnazar Boost is here to help you!
You can get a free level 85 boost through the Classic SoD (Season of Discovery) Version of WoW. All you have to do is kill that specific boss, and you will get a token on your Cataclysm version, ready to help you reach the new expansion in no time! You need to defeat the Dreadlord Baalnazar by June 30. The reward will retroactively be added on the Pre-Patch day on July 2.
Free Mount for Retail version of WoW - Sage Serpent
There is also a similar reward like we had for Wotlk with the cool frost proto-drake. This time we’re getting a recolor of Celestial Serpent, a greenish color Jade Serpent mount. This one will be unlocked by doing a specific objective inside the Cataclysm Classic (It’ll be during the Pre-patch). From July 2 to July 31, you will be able to obtain it. Here’s what you need to do:
- Make a Pandaren Character, any class can do
- Complete the introduction questline as Pandaren in their zone and pick either the Alliance or the Horde.
- Once done, you will unlock Shaohao’s Sage Serpent for the modern retail version of the game.
