We are happy to finally announce the date and full details of the upcoming content patch for Sheilun! Patch 5.2 will officially be applied to the server on 30 April 2025 at 20:00 CET. The PTR is now up and available for testing - the only thing currently not present there is the heroic+ ToT vendor, but will be added in the near future.

The patch includes new content, such as:

• Isle of Thunder
• Throne of Thunder raid
• New world bosses: Nalak + Oondasta
• Gaze of the Black Prince + Heart of Valorous buffs will be added in and put on a rotation
• End of PvP Season 12 and Start of PvP Season 13 (and the associated new items to purchase with Honor + Conquest points)

Throne of Thunder

Similar to our Tier 14 raids - ToT will have three available difficulties: Normal, Heroic, and Heroic+. Below is the release schedule:

• April 30th - Normal ToT
• May 7th - Heroic ToT and Heroic+ ToT difficulties unlocked. Along with 1st part of LFR: "Last Stand of the Zandalari"
• May 14th - 2nd LFR unlocked: "Forgotten Depths"
• May 21st - 3rd LFR unlocked: "Halls of Flesh-Shaping"
• May 28th - 4th LFR unlocked: "Pinnacle of Storms"

Heroic+ will operate in much the same way as last tier. You can set the difficulty up to +10 using the NPC inside. To be eligible for Realm First achievement, you must complete the raid in +5 difficulty. Scaling for each heroic+ level is set at +7.5%.

The number of tokens gained will be the same as last tier for 10m/25m. A vendor will be available to redeem the tokens. You can not use your tokens from T14 HC+ on the T15 vendor (obviously)

The gear upgrade NPC will be gone at the start of this patch, but will return for patch 5.3.

As a final note - Your Justice and Valor points will NOT be wiped!

PvP

Season 12 will end and Season 13 will begin both at the same date + time - when the new patch becomes active on the server (30 April 2025 at 20:00 CET). The rewards for Season 12 will be distributed roughly one week later. The cutoffs for current season are final and will not change in the future.
