Players looking to race through new content might have a bit of a headstart with new Enchantments coming in The War Within — both for Mount Speed and Character Speed!
Some particularly interesting Enchantments caught our eye while datamining in The War Within:
While most of these Enchantments add the Speed tertiary stat to player character speed, one Enchantment seems to offer an increase in Mounted speed — Cavalry's March. Players have loved effects such as Crusader Aura which increase Mounted speed, and having even a small boost on your Boots would be a welcome gift for players that don't necessarily worry about mix-maxing for raiding or other content.
The Speed Enchants are also a fun addition for those who like to make Speed sets — adding a whopping 825 speed, using all four new Speed Enchants will add about 10% movement speed for your character. This might not seem like much, but when you're trying to run old content for transmogs, every little bit helps!

World of Warcraft fans have begun noticing their characters sitting on the Warbands character select screen in The War Within alpha. Though a seemingly innocuous change, World of Warcraft players are excited to see what this new life breathed into the login screen could mean for the future.
Warning: Spoilers for World of Warcraft: The War Within below.
Blizzard held a Content Creator Summit and we participated in a group interview where a couple of kindly devs addressed questions from Content Creators. The devs for this interview were:

The War Within brings changes throughout Azeroth, and Professions are no different! With the traditional new expansion Profession update, Gathering and Crafting Professions are seeing new recipes, new Knowledge Point trees, and fun new interactions for players to explore within the crafting systems. One such interaction comes from Cursed Enchantments — the first Enchantments to ever have a Kiss-Curse mechanic in World of Warcraft. Kiss-Curse mechanics are commonly referred to when players experience a large potential downside to a beneficial upside on an item or effect. While previous items in Dragonflight had minor Kiss-Curse mechanics, such as Toxic Thorn Footwraps reducing Stamina by 61, the positives far outweighed the negatives, leading to very powerful, sometimes BiS items. These new Cursed Enchantments, however, will require a bit more thought and caution — while you'll gain a significant amount of a secondary stat of your choice depending on the Enchantment, you'll also lose a large amount of another secondary stat.
We have a preliminary list of all enchants available in The War Within expansion. These include many weapon enchants, cursed ring enchants, which boost one stat but reduce another, and even a mount speed enchant! Note that all of this is alpha information, which will likely change before launch based on feedback. Values aren't final, either.
Similarly to what happened to Solo Shuffle in Dragonflight, The War Within is formalizing Battleground Blitz addition to the PvP modes of WoW. This addition includes new seasonal rewards exclusive to the mode.
It's been a busy week in WoW and here's Blizzard's recap of the awesome events that happened this last week.
With Alpha upon us, we got an early preview of the new 10v10 Battleground, Deephaul Ravine, coming in the The War Within.
