Also included: the final raid challenge Naxxramas, the first Scourge invasion in WoW history, and new PvP content for the open world. In our special on Classic Content Phase 6, we have summarized everything you need to know about the new features.
The last chapter of the WoW Classic era has opened! Content phase 6 has started on the live servers and presents us with the final challenges of the vanilla new edition. Also included: Naxxramas, the first Scourge invasion in WoW history, as well as new PvP content for the open world.
In this overview article we have summarized all the important details about the new features for you. You’ll learn what exactly awaits you during the Scourge invasion, how to build the legendary item Atiesh, the rewards of the new open-world PvP content, and how to defeat Kel’Thuzad and his minions.
When does the scourge event, Naxxramas and Co. start?
According to the developers, the Scourge invasion is scheduled to start on December 3rd at 11:00 p.m., and the gates of Naxxramas will also open at the same time ( source ):
“Patch 1.13.6 for WoW (buy now) Classic will be released on December 2nd. Right after that, on December 3rd at 23:00 CET, we’ll open Naxxramas and launch the Scourge invasion.”
Thanks to a second post from December 1st, we now also know that on patch day (December 2nd) only the bug fixes were actually activated. All new content, including the books for the new caster ranks or the epic pants of the Warsong Gulch faction, should only be available at the same time as the opening of Naxxramas. The only exception: the Naxxramas access quest has been available for almost two weeks .
Classic Phase 6 Content and Patch Notes
In Blizzard’s official phase plan, the content of Classic Phase 6 reads as follows:
stage 6
Scourge Invasion (World Event)
Naxxramas (40 player raid)
World PvP content in Silithus and Eastern Plaguelands
However, these are only the highlight features. Here are more new features of Patch 1.13.6:
If you have achieved Exalted reputation with your Warsong Gulch faction, you can now purchase epic leg armor.
Several new rank tomes (Frost Ward, Shadow Ward, Flame Shock, Conjure Food, Eviscerate, Savage Bite) are now available.
PvP objectives are now available in Silithus and the Eastern Plaguelands.
Here are the official German patch notes for patch 1.13.6 , where you will also find a whole range of bug fixes that come into play with the patch.
WoW Classic: The Scourge Invasion
When necropolises appear in the sky and undead creatures make Azeroth unsafe, then you are right in the middle of the first Scourge invasion in WoW history. During the event, you can earn the best Naxxramas weapon oils and whetstones, an 18-slot bag, and some epic items, among other things. We have already summarized all the details about the Scourge invasion in the following guide:
WoW Classic: The Final Raid Naxxramas
All of the raids you’ve seen from the inside in Classic so far have been comparatively easy. When it comes to the experiences of the PTR, however, a completely different caliber awaits us in the final classic raid Naxxramas. But first you have to get permission to enter the necropolis at all. The good news: If you want to enter Naxxramas, you don’t have to master an endless quest line. The bad news: If you don’t have an exalted reputation with the Argent Dawn , you have to pay admission – the worse the reputation, the steeper the price.
You can already find the cash register in the Eastern Plaguelands, more precisely: In the Chapel of Light’s Hope (at coordinates 81.57). Archmage Angela Dosantos has made herself comfortable there and offers (among other things) the quest The Dread Citadel – Naxxramas . Depending on the character’s reputation with the Argent Dawn, she names the entry requirements. Anyone who enjoys an “awesome” reputation simply nods to the quest text and is allowed into the instance – for free. The others pay
with a “respectful call”:
2 Arcane Crystals
1 Nexus Crystal
30 golds
with a “benevolent reputation”:
5 Arcane Crystals
2 Nexus Crystals
1 Righteous Orb
60 golds
If you have a reputation of “friendly” or worse, you unfortunately have to stay outside. The entrance to the Naxxramas instance can also be found in the Eastern Plaguelands, in the Plaguewood, not far from Stratholme (coordinates 39,25). Just step on the green circle and wait for the teleport into the instance.

Preparation for Naxxramas
In Naxxramas we can expect what is perhaps the toughest boss fight from the Classic era, in which resistances play an important role: the battle against Sapphiron. There is so much frost damage on the entire raid that every player should have items with frost resistance in their luggage. But certain resistance values are also very useful for many other bosses, sometimes you even get to deal with different elements. Additionally, thanks to Naxxramas, you’ll gain access to special Frost Resistance gear and Tier 3 class sets. In order to be able to build or obtain the items, however, you must first obtain numerous, sometimes very expensive, materials.

New Legendary: How to get Atiesh

WoW Classic: The new PvP content in Silithus and the Eastern Plaguelands
With the start of Phase 6, there are new reasons for Horde and Alliance to take on the opposing faction in Silithus and the Eastern Plaguelands. Suddenly, it pays to take the towers near Stratholme and go silithyst hunting in the dusty bug home. What you have to do exactly and what rewards are waiting for you, we have already summarized that for you in an extra article:
hat’s next after Classic Phase 6?
Phase 6 heralds the end of the WoW Classic era. Almost 14 years ago, vanilla WoW was followed by the first expansion, The Burning Crusade. And today? Well, there are various indications that Blizzard could also announce a classic version for TBC in the near future. Maybe there’s already something official at BlizzCononline in February , which, by the way, will be completely free for anyone interested.
