World of Warcraft: Forever players find rule-breaking new items that defy 22 years of experience with the classic MMO
Blizzard snuck in an item that finally gives mages a reason to swing a sword.
The World of Warcraft: Forever beta is unveiling rule-breaking items that defy 22 years of classic MMO experience. These items include an axe that allows mining without a mining skill, which can be used to mine materials 30 times before breaking. Another item, the Coldflame Saber, grants mages the ability to deal fire damage to frozen targets, enabling a battle mage playstyle unheard of in the past.
Blizzard intentionally hid many of WoW: Forever's new items to keep them organic and surprising for players. The addition of such items is not unprecedented, as Blizzard previously ran a limited-time mode called Season of Discovery, where breaking the game was the goal. Despite Blizzard's commitment to keeping foundational aspects intact, there are areas where nothing is sacred, and players may uncover items that bring childhood fantasies to life.
