This sale forShadowlandsis available on Battle.net and lists the three versions of the expansion with their respective discounted prices. The Base edition only has the Wandering Ancient Mount in addition to the expansion but boasts the lowest price at $31.99. The Heroic edition is now $47.99 as opposed to its normal $59.99 price and boasts a character boost, a flying mount, and theVestments of the Eternal Travelertransmog setquest. The most expensive of the three, the Epic edition, now sits at $63.99 and boasts what the other two have plus a number of additional perks.
This sale comes between major content drops forWorld of Warcraftplayers. TheChains of Dominationupdateis set to be the first forShadowlandsbut that expansion has been out for several months already. It seems likely that this is a sale meant to keep players interested in the expansion while the update continues to go through fixes on the PTR. It is possible though that the time on the PTR is going well and this sale is supposed to grow interest inShadowlandsbefore the update is officially dropped.
A sale is always appreciated but the lack of news on a timeline for theChains of Dominationrelease, other than what it will contain, is starting to frustrate players. Judging from the April 29th patch notes forChains of Dominationit seems more likely that there is a significant amount of work still to be done. Within those notes are large increases to damage outputs which players have suggested means the developer’s were far off in their original specifications.
Large changes could mean significant progress though. It has been a few weeks of updates on the PTR and there is a possibility, however slim, that the workload has been less than the developer originally thought. But, regardless of when the update will come, interested players can pick up theWorld of Warcraft: Shadowlandsexpansion for 20% off, regardless of edition.
