The long-awaited WoW 11.1.7 update, known as the Legacy of Arathor, has finally arrived, bringing fresh storylines, new quests, and exciting rewards for all World of Warcraft players. This patch breathes new life into the classic Arathi storyline, introducing the epic Arathi Campaign and setting the stage for major lore developments in Azeroth’s turbulent future.
Whether you’re a veteran hero returning to see what’s next for the Arathi or a newcomer eager to explore fresh content, this guide covers everything you need to know about the WoW Legacy of Arathor update — from the main campaign and zones to key changes, new cosmetics, and expert tips to get the most out of Patch 11.1.7.
Patch 11.1.7 Content Release Dates
The WoW 11.1.7 Legacy of Arathor patch follows Blizzard’s phased content model, ensuring players always have fresh activities to tackle throughout June and early July. Mark your calendar — the initial wave drops mid-June, with special events continuing right into July to keep the Arathi story alive and well.
Below is a clear breakdown of when each piece of content goes live so you can plan your adventures and stay ahead of the curve:
Arathi Highlands Campaign
The new Arathi Highlands Campaign in WoW 11.1.7 expands the War Within storyline into the troubled Arathi Highlands. As tensions flare between the Horde and Alliance, players will work alongside Faerin Lothar and Danath Trollbane to bring balance to this contested region. Expect branching perspectives for each faction, delivering a deeper look into Arathi’s past and the future struggles ahead.
This campaign includes two story chapters that do not require running the questline twice on both factions — once is enough to unlock the full lore experience. For your efforts, you’ll earn exclusive Transmog rewards to showcase your allegiance and dedication:
- Alliance: Stromgarde Tabard
- Horde: Hammerfall Tabard
- Special: Lamplighter’s Pauldrons (a shoulder Transmog modeled after Faerin’s armor)
Good news for completionists: you won’t need to replay the campaign on both sides just to collect both tabards — the system grants them accordingly based on your faction progress. This makes collecting these stylish pieces far less grindy than before!
Lorewalking in WoW 11.1.7: Relive Azeroth's Greatest Stories
Lorewalking is a special new questing feature introduced in WoW Patch 11.1.7: Legacy of Arathor, letting players revisit legendary events from Azeroth’s past while earning unique rewards and extra XP. Any character level 10 and up can speak to Lorewalker Cho and jump straight into iconic storylines, side quests, and short lore scenarios — perfect for casual players or story enthusiasts who want a break from regular PvE or PvP grind.
Once you find Cho in your faction's capital or Dornogal, you’ll unlock access to multiple repeatable quest chains that re-explore older expansions. Some quests include familiar characters like Alleria Windrunner, Locus Walker, Ve’nari, Xal’atath, and even Arthas the Lich King. This is a great way to revisit old lore moments and enjoy them in a more narrative-focused way while still progressing your character and unlocking new collectibles.
Where to Find Lorewalker Cho in WoW 11.1.7
Lorewalking in the new WoW Patch 11.1.7 Legacy of Arathor brings back nostalgic stories with the help of Lorewalker Cho.

Here’s a clear overview of his exact spots so you won’t waste time wandering around.
Each location is easy to reach and marked near major hubs like flightmasters or quiet corners. Just use the provided waypoints, talk to Cho, and enjoy a nostalgic dive into Azeroth’s lore!
Available Lorewalking Questlines
At launch, there are three major repeatable Lorewalking chains players can enjoy:

Lorewalking Rewards
Each chain grants you unique toys and collectibles that make Lorewalking well worth your time:
- Royal Visage: Transform into a ghostly Lich King for 10 minutes. Your mounts become spectral too! Has a 30-minute cooldown.
- K’aresh Memory Crystal: Changes your appearance to a random K’areshi or Broker for 10 minutes — perfect for RP or role immersion.

Overcharged Delves: Ultimate Challenge Mode
Overcharged Delves are a new endgame twist on standard Bountiful Delves in Patch 11.1.7. Each day, two delves become Overcharged — adding hostile Titan constructs and electrifying ground traps that stun unwary adventurers. This mode is designed for players who want to test themselves for better rewards and progression materials.
Overcharged Delves drop Titan Disc Shards, a new currency used to buy talents for the Overcharged Titan Console and to upgrade the powerful new D.I.S.C. Belt.
How to Unlock Overcharged Delves
To unlock this feature, head to Dornogal and talk to Dagran Thaurissan II. Complete his quick questline:
- ⚡ Titanic Rumblings
- 🗿 Titan Consoles
- 💰 Titan Disc-Count
- 🔓 Overcharged Console
- 💼 Durable Information Storage Container (D.I.S.C.) Belt unlock
After this, you can access six Overcharged Delves: Kreivgal’s Rest, Skittering Breach, The Spiral Weave, Nightfall Sanctum, Fungal Folly, and Sidestreet Sluice. Two rotate daily with the Overcharged affix.
Overcharged Titan Console: New Delve Talent Tree
The Overcharged Titan Console is a custom skill tree for enhancing your warband inside Overcharged Delves. Spend your Titan Disc Shards to unlock nodes like:
- 🔥 Titanic Pyroblast — Single-target damage proc.

D.I.S.C. Belt: Durable Information Securing Container
Unlocked during Dagran’s questline, the D.I.S.C. Belt is a powerful new utility belt. Think of it as a customizable mini-talent system: you start with 2 random abilities but can collect up to 9 in total by exploring Overcharged Delves and the Titan Console.
Each ability appears in a specific delve or is linked to a Titan Console perk. Examples include:
- ⚡ Charged Bolts — Single-target damage (default, unlocked automatically).

- 💥 Energy Shield — Damage absorption (unlocked via Titan Force Shield node).

- 💎 Charged Crystal — Split damage proc (Nightfall Sanctum).
Upgrade the belt weekly using a Titan Memory Card quest, boosting its item level +5 up to a cap of 701. The same quest also gives an Overcharged Chest with Champion gear, currencies, and a Restored Coffer Key.

Overcharged Delves, the Titan Console, and the D.I.S.C. Belt together create an exciting loop in Patch 11.1.7. For maximum rewards, run daily Overcharged Delves, farm Titan Disc Shards, expand your Console tree, and empower your belt for the ultimate Warband synergy!
New Event: Collector's Bounty
Patch 11.1.7 introduces a fresh limited-time event called Collector's Bounty, designed specifically for completionists and collectors in World of Warcraft. During this event, players can expect dramatically boosted drop rates for various collectibles hidden within legacy content — including rare mounts, elusive pets, hard-to-get toys, and other unique transmog pieces scattered throughout Azeroth's older zones.
Although Blizzard has yet to share all the fine details, the community speculates this could turn older raids and dungeons into treasure troves, encouraging veterans and new players alike to revisit classic areas. Expect this to be a great opportunity to complete your collection log or farm that one stubborn drop you’ve been chasing for years. Stay tuned as more specifics will be revealed closer to launch day, but so far, Collector’s Bounty looks set to become a festival for loot hunters of all levels!
Turbulent Timeways Returns with Battle for Azeroth Dungeons
Back by popular demand, the Turbulent Timeways event storms into Patch 11.1.7 with a brand-new twist: Battle for Azeroth dungeons are now part of the Timewalking rotation! For six consecutive weeks, players can queue up for a different expansion’s Timewalking each week, with Battle for Azeroth content opening and closing the cycle.
Here’s the full Timeways rotation for 11.1.7:
- Week 1: Battle for Azeroth
- Week 2: Mists of Pandaria
- Week 3: Burning Crusade
- Week 4: Warlords of Draenor
- Week 5: Legion
- Week 6: Battle for Azeroth
Throughout these weeks, bonus rewards will be active: extra reputation, boosted experience for leveling alts, and an increased chance at Heroic Raid-level loot for completing weekly Timewalking quests. On top of that, a stunning new mount is up for grabs: the Chrono Corsair. This infinite dragon pirate hybrid is awarded for completing the special achievement Master of the Turbulent Timeways III.
If you missed out on the Timecap'n Hooktail from Tazavesh, this new mount is your chance to add a pirate-dragon to your stables! So polish up those old dungeon tactics — Timewalking is about to get wilder than ever in 11.1.7.
Changes to Timewalking in Patch 11.1.7
Timewalking dungeons are getting a notable rebalancing pass in Patch 11.1.7 to better match the evolving power levels of players. Developers aim to make Timewalking feel more authentic and engaging by ensuring that enemies pose a respectable challenge rather than being trivialized by modern gear scaling.
Key adjustments include:
- ✅ Increased enemy health in all Timewalking dungeons.
- ✅ Boss encounters will have significantly more health, extending fight duration and strategy depth.
- ✅ Improved damage scaling — lower-geared characters will find enemies more forgiving, while well-equipped heroes will face sturdier foes.
- ✅ Incoming damage will now better reflect the intended challenge, rewarding proper tanking and healing rotations.
- ✅ Fixed bugs where enchantments and gems weren’t properly factored into scaling.
- ✅ Timewalking now rewards Adventurer tier gear instead of Explorer, giving better progression options for alts.
- ✅ Dungeon completion rewards increased to 25 Timewarped Badges (up from 10), making Timewalking a more rewarding weekly activity.
These tweaks aim to preserve the nostalgic feel of classic dungeons while keeping them relevant and fun for modern endgame characters. Expect more fine-tuning throughout the season as Blizzard continues to gather player feedback.
Conclusion
Patch 11.1.7: Legacy of Arathor breathes new life into World of Warcraft with a perfect blend of nostalgic lore and fresh seasonal features. From the dramatic Arathi Highlands campaign that deepens the Horde vs. Alliance story, to exciting new systems like Overcharged Delves and the customizable D.I.S.C. Belt, there’s something here for every type of player. Whether you’re a collector farming legacy mounts through Collector’s Bounty, an alt-leveler tackling rebalanced Timewalking, or a veteran hunting for hidden treasures with Lorewalker Cho — this patch ensures your time in Azeroth is rewarding and packed with adventure.
