  • Older Anniversary Rewards (Obsidian Worldbreaker, Lil' Nefarian, etc.)

  • Classic Timewalking

  • Normal and Heroic Blackrock Depths, Timewarped Relic Coffer Key Vendors (may be added later)

Unfortunately, not everything from last year has returned World of Warcraft 21st Anniversary Event. A handful of vendors are missing from the celebration this year, including shopkeeper Reginald and Bobadormu. The former offered a bunch of legacies Wow Anniversary rewards that have been out of reach for years, including Obsidian Worldbreaker, Lil' Nefarian, and Baby Blizzard Bear, and likely won't return again until another big milestone like the 25th anniversary. Meanwhile, Bobadormu now appears in Stormwind and Orgrimmar below Classic Timewalking, which has entered that event's regular rotation, rather than being tied to the anniversary.

Another omission from the event comes with the Blackrock Depths raid. A renewed version of Classic dungeon, only the LRF difficulty of the raid is currently available. The normal and heroic versions of Blackrock Depths are nowhere to be found, nor are the weekly quest or Timewarped Relic Coffer Key vendors. It remains to be seen if this was an intentional absence, or if they will appear later in the event, possibly after the first weekly reset on Tuesday.

Fixed World of Warcraft ClassicThe anniversary event is much more humble, players will still be able to take advantage of the Joyous Journeys buffet in World of Warcraft soon. From November 18 to December 9, sign i Mists of Pandaria Classic can earn 50% more experience up to level 90, giving them an easy way to level up and prepare for Phase 3, The Thunder King, which is expected to arrive in December. The buff is active automatically, but players who prefer a slower leveling experience can turn it off at any Innkeeper in World of Warcrafts capitals or in Dalaran.
