Raid - The War Within

Midnight

4 encounters, 24 boss abilities and 17 drops, with the Adventure Guide’s own ability and strategy notes for each fight. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.

As Xal'atath launches a devastating assault against the Sunwell, the fate of Quel'Thalas hangs by a thread. Great threats have risen from the swirling chaos of the Voidstorm, the ruins of the Amani Empire, and the blooming depths of Harandar. In this hour of reckoning, only the bold will stand against the coming darkness.
