Here is an outline of what is currently available on the Rise of Azshara PTR.
- Now Available for Testing
- Heart of Azeroth system update: Introducing Essences
- New Zone: Mechagon
- New Arena: The Robodrome
- Mount Equipment
- Crestfall and Snowblossom Island Expeditions
- Ashran Epic Battleground
Our initial testing will be primarily technical, so some Rise of Azshara features will be locked/unavailable for the first few days while we work on initial concerns with the above content. Please note that Ashran may not easily complete a queue in the PTR.

- New Missions
- New Zone: Nazjatar
- Explore the new zone including quest lines, World Quests, and World PvP Events focused on strengthening alliances with the new aquatic races
- Heritage Armors

We plan to do a wipe of all characters in a few weeks after getting focused feedback on the Heart of Azeroth Essences. This will allow us to test the feel and pacing of obtaining them all naturally. We’ll give you a heads up on that character wipe here in this forum.
