The World of Warcraft Cataclysm\u00a0Classic<\/em><\/a> pre-patch is now live<\/a><\/strong>, bringing an overhaul of changes<\/a> to questing, player leveling, class systems, and the introduction of two new playable races and much (much!) more in this complete overhaul of WoW Classic.<\/em><\/p>\n

Typically the pre-patch comes with an event but it looks like Blizzard hasn’t implemented the Twilight’s Hammer questline and Elemental Unrest PVE events in Cataclysm Classic’s<\/em> pre-patch which is odd considering Blizzard included pre-patch events leading into The Burning Crusade Classic <\/em><\/a>and Wrath of the Lich King Classic<\/a>. <\/em>Just because it’s not in the game now doesn’t mean it won’t make it at all, however. Despite the deviation in content from the original Cataclysm\u00a0<\/em>pre-patch, there’s still a few more weeks until Cataclysm Classic’s <\/em>launch on May 20<\/strong><\/a> and considering the story implications of the pre-patch questline, it still makes more sense to implement it into the game than cutting it outright.<\/p>\n

We’ll get a better idea as the pre-patch continues but for now here’s a rundown of the Twilight’s Hammer questline and Elemental Unrest events we expect at some point in Cataclysm Classic’s\u00a0<\/em>pre-patch.<\/p>\n

How to start the Twilight’s Hammer Cult questline<\/h2>\n

The questline originally served as a preamble to the Cataclysm <\/em>expansion involving the Twilight’s Hammer cult and their activities in Stormwind and Orgrimmar before the eventual Shattering of Azeroth. The questlines are congruent across both factions so everyone will experience the same story. During the original pre-patch, the quests progressed each week of the pre-patch before Cataclysm’s\u00a0<\/em>launch and the Cataclysm Classic\u00a0<\/em>pre-patch questline might progress differently.<\/p>\n

To get started, Alliance players need to go to Captain Anton<\/a> in Stormwind Keep and Horde players should report to Blood Guard Torek<\/a> in the Valley of Strength in Orgrimmar.<\/p>\n

How to do the Elemental Unrest event<\/h2>\n

During the original pre-patch, players were also able to participate in Elemental Invasion PVE event which was split into two activities: defending each faction’s capital city and fighting elemental invaders throughout different zones.<\/p>\n

Zone Invasions<\/h3>\n

Zone invasions happen throughout different zones across Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor, Northrend, and Outland. Players can begin participating once they hit level 10. Each zone is invaded hourly by a certain elemental enemy type (fire, water, earth, or wind) and doesn’t change throughout the event. When an invasion happens, there will be an elemental rift that appears and spawns enemies:<\/p>\n
