Plunderstorm

Blizzard has announced double reputation in World of Warcraft Plunderstorm

Blizzard is offering double reputation gains in World of Warcraft: Plunderstorm until the event wraps up on April 30th. This bonus will help you catch up on rewards until the end of April.

With the release of World of Warcraft patch 10.2.6 Plunderstorm introduces a limited-time pirate-themed “Battle Royale” event that will run for a few weeks. Participants aim to outlast their fellow pirates as they traverse the Arathi Highlands in search of abilities, upgrades, and loot to survive. Players can earn cosmetics, pets, titles, and mounts as they progress through the reward track.

In March, Blizzard introduced Trios to World of Warcraft’s new PvE mode.This feature lets players team up in groups of three, adding depth to the 60v60 battle royale-inspired event.

To help players out, you can earn double reputation in Plunderstorm until April 30th. This gives you a chance to catch up on rewards before the mode ends later this month.

Some abilities are more action-based and require good positioning and player targeting. Have fun discovering and experimenting with different combinations to find what works for you.

UPGRADES TO YOUR SPELLS AND ABILITIES

Your spells and abilities can be upgraded by discovering higher-quality versions from treasure chests or finding the same ability elsewhere and stacking it to Rank 3 (epic).
