World of Warcraft players have a limited window to wrap up essential content before The War Within Season 2 launches. Just like how Han Solo had a really bad feeling about that whole carbonite situation, ignoring these time-sensitive objectives could mean missing out on exclusive rewards, achievements, and some serious bragging rights.
With The War Within set to bring fresh challenges, now is the perfect time to optimize your characters, farm rare items, and complete must-do activities before the reset. Whether you're a dungeon crawler, a PvP warrior, or just someone who likes collecting shiny things, this guide breaks down everything you need to finish before Season 2 kicks in.
1. Conquer Mythic+ Dungeons Like a Boss
Mythic+ dungeons remain one of the most rewarding (and sometimes rage-inducing) activities in WoW. If you want to flex on your guildmates or just enjoy some top-tier loot, here’s what you need to prioritize:
- Push for 2,000+ Mythic+ Rating – Achieving this unlocks limited-time achievements and the ability to upgrade gear faster in Season 2.
- Farm Keystone Master Rewards – Exclusive mounts and titles from high-level Mythic+ runs disappear with the new season.
Don’t be that player who realizes too late that their Keystone Master mount is no longer obtainable. Just queue up, pop your cooldowns, and hope your tank doesn’t suddenly disconnect.
2. Finish the Nerub’ar Palace Raid
The big bad of The War Within Season 1, Queen Ansurek, isn’t going to stick around forever. Defeating her (especially on Heroic or Mythic difficulty) secures rare mounts, including:
- Ascendant Skyrazor – Mythic-only exclusive mount that’ll make your friends jealous.
- Sureki Skyrazor – A visually distinct version, available across difficulties.
And let’s not forget the coveted “Ahead of the Curve” achievement, which essentially says, I completed this before it was cool.
3. Take Down Zek’vir in the Seasonal Delve
The seasonal delve, Zek’vir’s Lair, is cycling out soon, making this the last chance to grab exclusive achievements:
- Hunting the Hunter – Defeat Zek’vir on the second tier to unlock the "Ascension Breaker" title.
- Let Me Solo Him – Solo the second-tier boss for a sleek Void-themed appearance for your Delver’s Dirigible mount.
If you’re planning to procrastinate, think again—this delve will disappear faster than a Sith Lord when things go south.
4. Max Out Brann Bronzebeard’s Level
Brann Bronzebeard is more than just a legendary NPC—he’s your best buddy in Delves. Before the next season:
- Get Brann to Level 60 – A higher-level Brann means easier Delves and better rewards.
- Use the Delves Bonus Event – During the event (January 22), he gets a 25% experience boost, making leveling up significantly faster.
A high-level Brann could mean the difference between success and getting completely wrecked by a random elite mob.
5. Grind Out Maximum Renown
Blizzard loves their reputation grinds, and you should too—at least if you want exclusive cosmetics, mounts, and upgradeable gear. Since some rewards might reset or become harder to obtain in Season 2, hitting max Renown now is a smart move.
Here’s how to make it less painful:
- Spam World Quests – They’re your best bet for consistent Renown gains.
- Use Weekly Events – Blizzard sometimes runs bonus Renown weeks—take advantage of them.
No one enjoys rep grinds, but at least this one comes with some sweet in-game rewards.
6. Hoard Valorstones Like a Treasure Hunter
Valorstones will play a big role in upgrading gear next season. If you want a head start, start farming items like:
- Odd Globs of Wax
- Lamplighter’s Satchels
But here’s the trick—don’t open them until Season 2 starts. That way, they’ll count toward the next season’s upgrade system. Think of it like stashing credits in a smuggler’s vault—except instead of evading the Empire, you’re just gaming Blizzard’s upgrade mechanics.
7. Participate in Limited-Time Events
Two major events are wrapping up soon, and missing out would be a mistake:
- Plunderstorm (Ends February 18, 2025) – Earn exclusive Plunder and spend it on limited-time cosmetics before the event vanishes.
- Turbulent Timeways – The best way to power-level alts and earn Heroic-level gear in record time.
Since both events offer rewards that won’t be available later, it’s time to log in and get grinding.
8. Prepare Alts for Season 2
If you’ve got multiple characters sitting around, now’s the time to level them up. With:
- Turbulent Timeways – Leveling is faster than ever.
- Catch-Up Gear Events – Blizzard makes sure new and returning players can gear up quickly.
An army of well-geared alts means you can dive into Season 2 with multiple playstyles and maximize rewards.
9. Farm Siren Isle for Gear Upgrades
Siren Isle is one of the best (and easiest) ways to boost your character’s item level before the next season. Completing quests here can get your ring up to item level 658, which is a massive boost, especially for alts.
Best part? It doesn’t require a full raid group or Mythic+ levels of coordination. Just a few quick quests and boom—better stats.
10. Wrap Up PvP Achievements
Love PvP? Then make sure to secure exclusive titles, mounts, and achievements before the reset:
- Get at Least a 1,000 Rating – This unlocks basic rewards that won’t return in the future.
- Climb Higher for Rare Titles – If you’re into PvP-exclusive cosmetics, push for a higher rank before the season ends.
Even if you’re more of a PvE player, a little PvP can’t hurt—especially if there’s a sweet reward on the line.
Conclusion: Get It Done Before It’s Too Late
The War Within Season 2 will bring a fresh start, but that also means exclusive rewards from Season 1 will disappear forever. Whether it’s Mythic+ rewards, limited-time events, or PvP achievements, there’s no shortage of things to finish before the reset.
Don’t be the player who realizes after the season ends that they missed out on a once-in-a-lifetime mount. Log in, complete these must-do activities, and head into Season 2 with your character fully optimized.
