Getting Started

Join in testing The War Within. Players who have opted in can be selected as testers, with invitations sent out regularly throughout the test period. If chosen to participate in the beta test, your Battle.net account will already be flagged for access. Players who have upgraded to the Epic Edition of The War Within will also gain immediate access to the beta.

Follow these steps to get started:

1. Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date.
2. Run the Battle.net® desktop app. It may need to update itself if you haven’t used it recently.
3. Once Battle.net is installed and updated, select World of Warcraft from the list of games.
4. In the Game Version drop-down menu above the Play button, choose The War Within (listed under In Development), then click Install.
5. Allow the installation to complete, click Play, and select any available Test Servers.
6. Create a new test character or use the character copy feature to import your existing Dragonflight character.
7. Enter the game and test the available content.

What’s Available in the Beta?

The beta includes new systems, the complete leveling experience, zones, dungeons, delves, Warbands, and the new playable Earthen race. Raid testing will be available at a later time.

The Zones of Khaz Algar – Designated Sector AR-934

Beneath the surface of Azeroth lies an expansive world, fraught with danger and waiting to be explored.

• The Isle of Dorn Discover Khaz Algar, located off the western shores of Pandaria, home to the Earthen. Their capital city, Dornogal, will serve as the new meeting ground for the Horde and Alliance.

  

• The Ringing Deep This gigantic cavern is home to the Machine Speakers, Earthen who maintain the enormous Titan machines of old.

  

• Hallowfall Lit by a massive crystal at its center, this bright underground zone is home to the Arathi, who are engaged in a continuous battle against the nerubians.

  

• Azj-Kahet The pinnacle of nerubian society, where Xal’atath, Harbinger of the Void, has been gathering and mutating nerubian forces to create an unstoppable army. For players concerned about entering a space filled with spiders, an arachnophobia filter can be turned on to convert spider creatures into crabs.

  

Meet The Earthen

We’ve encountered Titan-forged Earthen in Ulduar and other locations before, but this society of Earthen has been isolated within Khaz Algar for a long time, developing their own unique manners and customs. Visually, they are slightly larger and gem-encrusted.

Earthen will now be available as a playable race, replenishing their dwindling numbers by joining either the Horde or the Alliance. Players can choose either faction to start their journey.

There will be many customization options for these Earthen, including different gem encrustations, beards for all body types, skin color variations, and more.

Dungeons

As with previous expansions, there will be 4 level-up dungeons and 4 maximum-level dungeons available in each of the four new zones.

Level-Up Dungeons

• The Rookery
• The Stonevault
• Priory of the Sacred Flame
• City of Threads

Maximum-Level Dungeons

• Cinderbrew Meadery
• Darkflame Cleft
• The Dawnbreaker
• Old City

If you prefer not to use the Dungeon Finder to participate in dungeons with other players, you can continue the campaign story with Follower Dungeons, which will be available in all level-up dungeons.

Nerub’ar Palace Raid Dungeon

The Nerub’ar Palace raid dungeon features eight boss encounters. Located in Azj-Kahet, it brings to a climax the story involving the machinations of the nerubian empire and Queen Ansurek’s collaboration with Xal’atath. Players can also look forward to new tier rewards for their valiant efforts.

New Features

Delves

Deep beneath the surface lie treasure vaults waiting to be discovered. Explore these world instances solo or with up to four friends, along with an NPC companion, to defeat bosses and gain epic end-game loot.

• Delves New Mechanical Mount Reward: Customize your new mount with various options to make it your own.

Warbands

Expand the potential of your alternate characters with account-wide progression across your family of characters on your Battle.net account. Share your Warband Bank access, War Within Renown, achievements, collections, and more.
