WoW SoD Phase 3 Release Date & New Raid Leaks

Although Phase 2 has only been rolled out in Season of Discovery for about a month, some data mines for WoW SoD Phase 3 have already been conducted, in which some information about the new raid has been discovered. Here, we can’t wait to share these latest leaks of WoW SoD Phase 3 with you, including the possible release date of the next update!

WoW Season of Discovery Phase 3 Release Date

Blizzard has indicated that SoD Phase 3 is slated to begin in Spring 2024, though a specific date remains unannounced. If patterns hold, with Phase 1 lasting 10 weeks, we might expect Phase 3 to kick off around mid-April. A phase typically spans a minimum of one month to a maximum of 3-4 months, so May or June could be the latest start time. We will update you with official details as they emerge.

WoW Season of Discovery Phase 3 New Raid Speculation: Sunan Temple

There is significant speculation regarding the Sunan Temple potentially being the new raid for SoD Phase 3. This isn't mere conjecture; datamined information provides a foundation for these predictions. For instance, changes in the dungeon's lockout time from the standard to a 3-day lockout, much like other raids, suggests a transition to raid status. Additionally, the lock ID for Sunken Temple has been updated to 23, following the sequence of other raids, which is another strong indication.

The Sunken Temple, also known as the Temple of Atal'Hakkar, is already a large instance with a plethora of trash and boss encounters. It's involved in unique level 50 quests for every class, which could potentially be integrated into the new raid format. The speculation is that these class quests might offer epic upgrades, adding further excitement to the raiding experience.

The Temple, with its deep ties to WoW lore, seems a fitting choice for the new raid. The narrative thread from the Blood Moon event in Stranglethorn Vale in Phase 2 could logically lead to the Sunken Temple in Phase 3. This dungeon is filled with Atal'ai trolls and minions, along with members of the Green Dragonflight, all of which could be neatly woven into the new raid content.

WoW SoD Phase 3 Raid Additional Predictions and Loot Possibilities

The raid version of the Sunken Temple could also feature an epic crafting questline and an item for a world buff, as seen in previous raids. There is potential for the existing loot to be enhanced for the raid, providing more powerful gear for participants.

Finally, the entrance to the Sunken Temple in the Swamp of Sorrows and the challenges within, like the order of clicking snake statues and facing numerous mini-bosses, could all be reimagined for a 20-player raid format. The final boss encounters, especially the Avatar of Hakkar, are expected to be more challenging and rewarding.

What to Expect in Phase 3 of WoW Season of Discovery?

With the upcoming phase, players can expect a host of new content:

• The level cap will be increased to level 50.

• New runes will be introduced, although specifics are not confirmed. A list of potential runes has been determined, but official details are pending.

• The professions level cap is likely to rise to level 300 (Artisan), as suggested by in-game hints, though this isn't yet officially confirmed.

• Profession specializations will be implemented, with Blizzard teasing "something special" at level 50 and 60.

• A new 20-player raid is anticipated, although details remain under wraps.

As the community buzzes with anticipation, further official details about the SoD Phase 3 release date and the contents will be keenly awaited.
