WoW Classic Season of Mastery is coming, giving all players a chance to start fresh and a level playing field, with an Open Beta beginning on Oct. 5, Blizzard announced Thursday.
With the launch of Season of Mystery, new WoW Classic realms will be available to invite new and current Classic players to begin fresh at level 1 for a complete reset of WoW Classic’s content, starting again at the very beginning of the World of Warcraft saga. Here’s a breakdown of Blizzard’s WoW Classic Season of Mastery announcement.
The opportunity to start fresh is coming to #WoWClassic.

Content Release Phases
Similar to the initial release of WoW Classic, Blizzard is planning six content release phases for the Season of Mastery, with phase unlocks happening faster than before roughly every couple of months.
Here is Blizzard’s current 12-month outline for the six phases:
Phase 1 (WoW Classic Season of Mastery Launch)
Phase 2
Phase 3
Phase 4
Phase 5
Phase 6
Raid Boss Updates
Due to players simply being too experienced and prepared for the difficulty and challenge of many of the raid encounters in WoW Classic 2019 re-created from patch 1.12 from the original World of Warcraft release, Blizzard is planning a few changes to make those early raid bosses bit tougher to more closely recapture the original challenge they presented:
Faster Leveling
Blizzard is said to be planning on increasing experience gains from what they were in the first iteration of WoW Classic, setting them closer to what the 1-60 XP rates are in Burning Crusade Classic with a bigger focus on quest XP increases.
Quality of Life Updates
Additionally, Blizzard is also planning on debuting certain improvements with the launch of WoW Classic Season of Mastery including:
PlatoAi. Web3 Reimagined. Data Intelligence Amplified.
