World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic Patch 4.4.2 NotesWorld of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic
Version 4.4.2 – Hour of Twilight
February 18, 2025
New Dungeon: End TimeThis new 5-player Heroic dungeon begins the quest to save all with a look at the desolate future of Azeroth, should its defenders fail to stop Deathwing. End Time rewards iLvl 378 gear.
New Dungeon: Well of EternityIn this new 5-player Heroic dungeon, adventurers travel back 10,000 years in a brazen attempt to retrieve the Dragon Soul. Well of Eternity rewards iLvl 378 gear.
New Dungeon: Hour of TwilightThis new 5-player Heroic dungeon sets the final stage by bringing players face-to-face with the Twilight’s Hammer in present-day Dragonblight, where Thrall and the Dragon Soul must be safely escorted to Wyrmrest Temple so that the assault on Deathwing can commence. Hour of Twilight rewards iLvl 378 gear.
New Raid: Dragon SoulPlayers can take the fight to Wyrmrest Temple and beyond, assisting Thrall and the Dragon Aspects as they seek to bring an end to the Black Dragonflight once and for all.
The Dragon Soul raid will become available on Thursday, February 20 at 3:00 p.m. PST. Dragon Soul is a 10- or 25-player 8 boss raid and has two difficulty modes. Normal and Heroic difficulties reward iLvl 397 and 410 gear, respectively.
Elemental Rune Dungeons: Protocol TwilightA new optional game mode can be activated in most Cataclysm Classic heroic dungeons by interacting with the Mysterious Elemental Device near each dungeon’s entrance and selecting “Activate Protocol Twilight”.
This mode is not available in Zul’Aman or Zul’Gurub.
New Baradin Hold boss: AlizabalA third boss, Alizabal, will be available in Baradin Hold with each region’s weekly content reset starting February 25.
Alizabal has the chance to drop iLvl 397 and 403 gear.
Players can raid both the 10-player and 25-player version of Alizabal on separate lockouts, allowing both versions to be run in the same week.
New Legendary Item: Fangs of the FatherThe most deadly and experienced rogues will play a central role in the fate of the world the rogue’s way: by manipulating key events from the shadows. Players will travel across continents to accomplish crucial missions of reconnaissance, burglary, infiltration and, of course, assassination. Rogues who succeed will receive a paired set of daggers that will become increasingly lethal as their bearer progresses along the legendary quest.
At the height of their strength, they will be imbued with the vile essence of the Old Gods, as well as the maddened fury of the Black Dragonflight – bestowing great power upon their bearer. These powers include a stacking increase to Agility which builds until dark wings unfurl from the rogue’s back, removing the combo point cost and increasing damage of finishing moves for a short time. In addition, the wings which can be spread on command (with no combat benefit) to slow a rapid descent, allowing the rogue to slowly fall to the ground… or enact a little death from above!
The Fangs of the Father item set includes two iLvl 416 Legendary daggers that can be earned by completing the acquisition questline. Players begin by pickpocketing a Cryptomancer’s Decoder Ring from Hagara the Stormbinder, the fourth boss of the Dragon Soul raid. Only rogues are all eligible for this questline.
Developers’ notes: To account for Cataclysm Classic’s increased content cadence, we have sped up the average rate of acquisition of this Legendary Item. Players will be able to craft their first, and subsequent, Fangs of the Father faster than in the original Cataclysm. Additionally, Rogues do not need to be on the collection portion of the quest for Elementium Gem Clusters to drop in Dragon Soul (preventing players from needing to leave mid raid to turn in the quest).
Updated Auction HouseThe updated Auction House includes many changes.
- Commodities (stackable items) are no longer sold in individual stacks.
- This allows you to select the number of items you want to buy, and the Auction House will automatically locate the lowest priced auctions to sell to you.
- You’ll be able to see the unit price and total price before you make your purchase.
- With the lowest-priced items always sorted to the top, you’ll never have to dig for the best deal again.
- When selling commodity items, rather than setting a price for stacks of items, you’ll be asked to set a price per unit.
- This gives buyers the ability to decide how many items they wish to purchase at a much more granular level.
- Non-stackable items are now grouped together in categories of their own.
- For example, a piece of gear like Master’s Boots of Stamina will have its own category, in which there may be numerous listings of that piece of gear at various prices.
- Certain elements of the UI have been reorganized so that browsing, sorting, and purchasing items is more intuitive
- Items will continue to be realm-specific, including commodities.
- When listing an item for sale, the auction house will not recommend a default price based on the lowest listing. Players can either click on an existing listing to set their price based on that listing, or enter their price manually.
For Classic, we think it’s appropriate to preserve the experience of actively choosing what price you’d like to set for an item rather than recommending the lowest possible price at all times.
Token UpdatesPlayers who previously held a subscription, but are not currently paying for one, are now able to log in and access the character select screen to use or buy WoW Tokens for game time. If they have enough gold across all characters to purchase a Token, and a Token is available for purchase, they will be able to purchase and use a Token. If they have an existing Token in any characters’ bags, they’ll be able to use it at the character select screen.
