Warlords of Draenor is now live!
It is the era of an Old Horde, forged with steel rather than fel blood. A union of great orc clans, the Iron Horde, tramples the planet Draenor beneath terrifying war machines. Azeroth falls next. Worlds uncounted will follow. You must mount a desperate charge on Draenor – savage home of orcs and adopted bastion of stoic draenei – at this pivotal moment. Your allies are legends from across time; your fortress a foothold in an alien land. Lead the armies of one world against another…before the future itself is unmade.

Warlords of Draenor Feature Overview is your one-stop-shop for in-depth information on new game systems.
The Iron Tide: 6.0.2 Patch Notes contain extensive details of changes that were added with the pre-expansion patch.

New World of Draenor

Draenor is now accessible! Characters can take the fight to the Iron Horde by stepping through the Dark Portal in Blasted Lands.
Draenor is a vicious land of magma and metal, stone and steam. Vicious saberon, winged arakkoa, spike-skinned gronn, and more unusual creatures rule the edges of the world, feasting on anything they kill.

New Dungeons

Bloodmaul Slag Mines

The Bloodmaul ogres run a brutal mining operation amidst the sweltering heat of active volcanic caverns. It is rumored that the true purpose of these mines is to dig for an ancient relic of immense power.
Level 90-92
4 bosses

Iron Docks

On the northern coast of Gorgrond, the Iron Docks represent the heart of the Iron Horde’s naval might. Huge warships and artillery are readies for war within this massive port. Ground troops stand ready to surge ashore to break the will of any who would dare oppose the Iron Horde.
Level 92-94
4 bosses

What Usually Breaks On A Condensing Unit

Auchindoun

Auchindoun is the holy mausoleum of the draenei, a sanctum of the Light in which the spirits of the dead find respite. The Shadow Council finds this holy place as an opportunity ripe for the picking, as Gul’dan and his minions work to gain favor with their demonic masters.
Level 94-97
4 bosses

Skyreach

Atop the crowning pinnacle of the Spires of Arak, Skyreach stands as the seat of power of the Adherents of Rukhmar. The arakkoa have gathered and harnessed the Apexis technology of their forebears, and now they are ready to unleash the focused power of the sun upon their enemies.
Level 97-99
4 bosses

Grimrail Depot

The Grimrail Depot is a vital hub in the Iron Horde war machine, allowing for the transport of troops and material produced in the Blackrock Foundry to the front lines of the war being waged across Draenor. The Grimrail, a massive train has been fitted with a railgun powerful enough to shatter the shield protecting Shattrath, and is about to depart…
Level 100
3 bosses

Shadowmoon Burial Grounds

The traditional burial grounds of the Shadowmoon clan. The fallen chieftain Ner’zhul, in the depths of his depravity, has sacrificed the very soul of his clan in a desperate quest for power. Now the ancestral spirits are restless, tormented, and used to fuel dark rituals that will pull all of Draenor into the void if allowed to run their course.
Level 100
4 bosses

The Everbloom

The Kirin Tor created outposts across Draenor with magical links back to Azeroth to serve as a supply line for reinforcements. Unfortunately, what seemed like a prime strategic location near the Blackrock Foundry was known to the botani as The Everbloom, a sacred place within the Gorgrond woodlands. The outpost was quickly overgrown, but it still contains a link to the outskirts of Stormwind…
Level 100
5 bosses

Revamped: Upper Blackrock Spire

The upper reaches of Blackrock Spire is now home to the Ironmarch vanguard. As preparations to use the Spire as the staging ground for a full-scale invasion of Azeroth continue, the Iron Horde has set up a terrifying contingency plan: a doomsday weapon within the heart of the Blackrock Mountain.
Level 100
5 bosses

Character Boost

Newly boosted characters in Warlords of Draenor now begin their experience in Tanaan Jungle with a basic set of spells and abilities for their class while becoming acquainted with your new hero. You will gradually unlock new class abilities and mechanics as you take part in a counterstrike against the Iron Horde to shut down the Dark Portal.

Quest System

The quest log and world map on Draenor now shows where main-story-arc quests and side quests can be found. Keep in mind there may still be some surprises along the way, and not everything will be listed—we don't want the quest log to spoil all the fun!
Some areas in Draenor have bonus objectives and its progress is tracked on the world map. Completing these bonus objectives will award extra gold and experience.
