The Battle for Mount Hyjal opened with Phase 3 on 27 August 2026. A full clear is $575.99.
Five bosses, but not a short raid. Rage Winterchill, Anetheron, Kaz'rogal, Azgalor and Archimonde are gated by defence waves you have to hold, so the clear runs far longer than the boss count suggests. That is exactly why it is worth buying rather than pugging.
What you actually get out of it:
- Tier 6 head from Archimonde and Tier 6 hands from Azgalor — two of the five T6 slots that exist in Phase 3;
- The Scale of the Sands reputation, which is what unlocks Indormi's epic-gem designs and the Band of the Eternal ring line;
- Ancient Gem Veins — the epic gem nodes only exist inside this instance;
- Rage Winterchill, whose kill is a required step of the Black Temple attunement.
Attunement. Hyjal needs The Vials of Eternity, which needs Keepers of Time at Revered plus Vashj and Kael'thas kills. Serpentshrine and Tempest Keep attunements were removed at Phase 3, so those two bosses can be reached directly — but the kills themselves are still required. Add the attunement above if your character is not ready.
How it is delivered: piloted by default, self-play if you want to be in the raid, or Self-play Remote for 30% more. Manual play, no bots.
