Hey, Zygor community!

BlizzCon 2023 wrapped up with some epic reveals for World of Warcraft fans! We’re talking about massive updates for both Retail and Classic versions. And as always, Zygor was there, taking notes and gearing up to give you the guides you need for these upcoming adventures.

Retail’s Riches: Triple Expansion Excitement

The buzz from the convention center is still ringing in our ears and for a good reason. Blizzard has unveiled not one, not two, but three new Retail expansions, collectively known as The Worldsoul Saga. The line-up kicks off with World of Warcraft: The War Within, where we’ll dive into the ancient civilization of Khaz Algar come 2024. And yes, an older Anduin and Thrall are leading the charge in what’s sure to be a story for the ages​​.

As you can guess, Zygor’s already plotting the path through these new lands. We’ll have comprehensive guides for each expansion, covering all the content you love: leveling, dungeons, achievements, and more. The goal? To make your gameplay smooth and enjoyable, just as you’ve come to expect from us.

Classic’s Call: Cataclysm Returns & Season of Discovery

Classic players, you’re in for a treat too! Cataclysm Classic will hit the servers in 2024, bringing the seismic changes we all remember: new races, new zones, and a heap of quality-of-life improvements. Get ready to play Worgen and Goblins, dabble in Archeology, and navigate revamped leveling experiences​​.

But before we get there, a brand-new Classic Season is upon us. Season of Discovery goes live on November 30th, offering a mix of innovative features and unique rulesets. Imagine tanking Warlocks and healing Mages – sounds wild, right? The season starts with a level cap of 25, with fresh endgame content to explore, including a reimagined Blackfathom Deeps raid​.

While there won’t be a PTR, we’re keeping our eyes peeled and ears to the ground. Zygor will be creating new Cataclysm Classic leveling guides and strategizing the best approach for Season of Discovery once it’s out in the wild. Community feedback will be key, so we’re counting on your insights to help shape our guides.

Introduction

As the leaves of Azeroth turn gold and crimson, heralding the gentle embrace of autumn, the winds whisper tales of ancient mysteries and adventures yet to be embarked upon. The canvas of the world is about to be brushed with strokes of myth and magic as the latest Dragonflight patch 10.2 “Guardians of the Dream” goes live the week of November 7. This new patch beckons the heroes of Azeroth into an era draped with ancient lore, enigmatic challenges, and the promise of treasures concealed within the veil of the Emerald Dream.

Venturing Into the Emerald Dream

Guardians of the Dream opens up a fantastical realm – the Emerald Dream, alongside a new raid, Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope. This is where heroes will confront the nefarious Fyrakk and his cohorts, in an epic struggle to prevent a fiery catastrophe poised to engulf Azeroth​. The stakes are high, the battles fierce, and the rewards enticing.

Amirdrassil, the Abode of Hope

Amirdrassil stands as a beacon of hope against the looming chaos. Yet, its heart is under siege by Fyrakk, whose nefarious intentions threaten to engulf the world in flames. With nine challenging boss encounters, including a Dragonriding battle, the raid culminates in a face-off atop Amirdrassil against Fyrakk​.

Spoils of Valor

Victory in Amirdrassil not only thwarts Fyrakk’s sinister plans but also bequeaths treasures upon the valorous. Adventurers can attain new class sets, a legendary weapon – Fyr’alath, the Dream Render, and even a couple of mesmerizing mounts among other loots. The Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic difficulties offer varying levels of challenge and rewards, ensuring a fitting battle for every hero​​.

Zygor’s Compass for the Dream

As the mysteries of the Guardians of the Dream unravel, Zygor stand as the trusty compass guiding adventurers through the unknown. Updated to embrace the new patch, Zygor ensures you’re well-prepared to face the challenges head-on, seize the treasures that lie in wait, and delve into the lore that binds the fate of Azeroth. With Zygor, the path to valor is well-marked, and the spoils of bravery well-earned.

The Saga Awaits

The 10.2 Dragonflight patch “Guardians of the Dream” offers a concoction of lore, adventure, and valor. As the tale unfolds, the call to adventure resonates across Azeroth, beckoning every hero to partake in the narrative that shapes the destiny of the realm. With Zygor Guides at your side, every challenge is surmountable, every mystery solvable, and every treasure attainable. As we edge closer to November 7, the saga awaits!

Unveiling the Haunting Lore

Hallow’s End descends upon Azeroth once again, filling every nook and cranny with eerie excitement from October 18 to November 1. As the realms brace for the Headless Horseman’s return, it’s the season for Tricky Treats, costumes galore, and spooky splendor, especially in the newly embraced Dragon Isles.

The chill in the air carries the tale of the Headless Horseman, a once valiant knight known as Sir Thomas Thomson. This enigmatic figure was introduced to WoW players with Patch 2.2.2 in 2007, adding a layer of spooky excitement to the game as his ghostly figure demanded players’ attention to quell the fires he set ablaze across Azeroth’s settlements​. His tale takes root before the fall of Lordaeron, as Sir Thomas Thomson, once a knight of the Silver Hand and a hero among his fellow paladins, suffered a tragic fate that twisted his valor into a haunting menace. Driven insane within the Scarlet Monastery, he now believes that he is alive and everyone else is dead, spreading gloom and fire across the villages of Azeroth as Hallow’s End descends upon the land​.

The eerie lore of the Headless Horseman has been enriching the Hallow’s End event since, with adventurers daring to face him in the Scarlet Monastery’s Graveyard, where he is summoned in the Pumpkin Shrine during this spectral season​​. The essence of Hallow’s End is further entwined with the Horseman’s haunting, as the main draw of the event is to challenge him in the dungeon, where players vie for the coveted Horseman’s Reins mount​.

What’s New This Year

With mischievous merriment spreading across Valdrakken, it’s a call for all adventurers to delve into the spectral festivities. This year, the Headless Horseman rides with new challenges, making it an exciting time to chase the new Windborne Velocidrake or strive to earn the title “The Hallowed”.

As the lore of the Headless Horseman resonates through the spooky nights, it’s a journey through time that adds a captivating essence to the celebration of Hallow’s End. The ancient tale of Sir Thomas Thomson reminds us of the valor that once stood against the looming dread, a tale now echoed through the haunting laugh of the Headless Horseman.

With a heart (or perhaps a pumpkin) full of anticipation, we look forward to sharing the frightful fun of Hallow’s End with you. So grab your broomsticks, don your eerie ensembles, and venture into the spooky saga of Hallow’s End, where every cackle tells a tale!

Greetings, adventurers!

You may have recently encountered a perplexing error: the ‘ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN’ error. This issue has raised concerns among many players, including those who use our Zygor Guides addon.

What Is the ‘ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN’ Error?

The ‘ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN’ error is a message that appears in your WoW chat or error log when an addon attempts to perform an action that is not allowed by the Blizzard game client. While it often occurs after game updates or patches and can affect a wide range of addons, including Zygor Guides, there’s something crucial to understand – sometimes it’s a false positive.

Why Is This Occurring?

Typically, this error occurs when Blizzard modifies the game’s code or security policies. This is how they prevent add-ons from interfering with the game in unintended or potentially harmful ways. However, there are instances where the error appears due to changes on Blizzard’s end, even when addons aren’t at fault.

Can You Ignore It?

Absolutely! You can confidently ignore the ‘ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN’ error, even when it pops up unexpectedly. Contrary to its alarming name, this error is a false positive and doesn’t signify any wrongdoing on Zygor Guides’ part. It doesn’t pose any risk of getting your account banned or sanctioned.

The Function of Blizzard

We are closely monitoring the situation and will collaborate with Blizzard to provide the best addon experience possible.
