Join the Final Surge of Decor Duels

Heed the final call to join Decor Duels before the doors close in this final surge before the Curse of Ula’tek goes live. To help you get the most out of it, we’ve made a few additional changes.

  • Hiders will no longer be automatically revealed when thirty seconds remain in the match.
  • Flies have been removed from Hiders who stay in one location for too long.
  • The energy increase rate for Seekers has been reduced by 20%.
  • Players will earn double the rate of Illusionary Coins

Once the dust settles and Decor Duel is no longer available, players will still be able to purchase Decor items from the vendors in Silvermoon City using Voidlight Marl.

These changes will be available after weekly resets.

Dungeon Dojo

https://discord.com/invite/dungeon-dojo

On 25 July, Dungeon Dojo presents The Carnival of Chaos, their new annual charity event for Make A Wish International.

This event revolves around “cursed keys”: dungeons that have additionally applied affixes due to donations. Here are some examples of the Cursed Keys:

  • No buffs (or bloodlust)
  • Take off your pants (remove your pants slot)
  • Role swap (can't play the same spec or role back-to-back)
  • Take a group selfie before each boss
  • Kill everything in the dungeon
  • RP walk the entire dungeon

If the chaos isn't your flavor of fun, you are welcome to simply participate in the event with your own objectives in mind. And don't worry: if the curses stack too much, Twitch chat is allowed to vote on a dispel, resetting the curses on the next key.

Join the Dungeon Dojo Discord to learn more.

WOWKEA

Every month, WOWKEA hosts and sponsors a new event to build around.

For the July/August event, the challenge is to create a one-room build featuring a pool (of some kind!) and submit it through the WOWKEA Discord.

Entries will be judged on building skill, and every submission will also be entered into a random prize draw just for participating.
