Now that Patch 10.1.7: Fury Incarnate has been live for a few weeks, you may be looking for some fun toys to collect after scouring Dreamsurges for mounts and pets. Don't /sleep on the Dreamsurge Remnant and Friendsurge Defenders toys as they offer some unique effects and visuals that make them standouts in any collection. Dreamsurges Guide
Amirdrassil is the new World Tree currently growing within the Emerald Dream, and the location for the main raid for Patch 10.2. A spell in 10.2's data hints at something quite significant about this tree's future. Warning: Potential spoilers ahead
One nice interaction in the Emerald Dream is the /sleep emote. If you sleep in the Emerald Dream, instead of falling asleep you project yourself out of your body and can run around as a projection leaving your body behind.
Alongside the wealth of Druid form customizations coming in Dragonflight Patch 10.2, we've found two brand new animations specifically for Boomkin models! It's not quite clear if these are actually intended for players, as there are several Druids featured within Amirdrassil and the Emerald Dream, though it seems very likely that they could. Check out more of the Druid customizations discovered on the Patch 10.2 PTR in our recent articles: Druid Customization Coming in 10.2 Silent Mark FormsMore Druid Forms
The encounter journal for the new raid Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope, has been updated in the latest Patch 10.2 PTR bulid. Check out the latest raid testing schedule here for more information. Aberrus Raid Testing Schedule
With the latest Patch 10.2 Guardians of the Dream PTR build, 6 new mounts were added. These mounts show creatures seen in the Dragon Isles and the Emerald Dream, but they're translucent! These will be obtainable from Elianna at the Central Encampment in Amirdrassil, with a new currency called Dream Infusion. It is currently unknown how to obtain this currency, but you will learn how to obtain it by reaching Renown 5 with the Dream Wardens.
Blizzard has released information regarding the two Public Events in the Emerald Dream coming in Patch 10.2, Superblooms & Emerald Bounties. Superblooms are a new major public scenario event while Emerald Bounties are a series of micro events triggered by players across the zone. Blizzard has also announced a focused testing session for Superblooms on Friday, September 22, starting at 4:00 p.m. PDT on the Iridikron PTR realm, where players can play alongside members of the WoW development team.
Behaviour Interactive has today released Dead by Daylight Bugfix Patch 7.2.3. Usually, these bugfixes don’t change too much in the game because they’re meant for small, ad-hoc changes for things that might break a player’s experience. However, today’s patch is slightly more potent.
Game Rant spoke to Lead Quest Designer Josh Augustine and Senior Game Designer Allison Steele about the many new features of Dragonflight Patch 10.2, from Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope, to the three-part Superbloom public event, and exploring the future of the misfit dragonflights.

Taliesin and Evitel cover the latest news in The Weekly Reset. This week they talk about the Emerald Dream zone and content coming up in Patch 10.2, Guardians of the Dream…
Among the many secrets in Dragonflight Patch 10.2, the Cowl of the Wolf Ancient is a special cosmetic wolf helmet available only to Orc characters, hidden inside the Emerald Dream! The Cowl can be found immediately after finishing Call of the Dream and entering the Emerald Dream, hidden away inside a cave on the westernmost island, with no other requirements to obtaining it — simply fly over to the cave entrance at 33,81 on the map and loot the cowl from its stand next to the oddly lifelike Statue of the Great Wolf. The Cowl is lootable from this little skull stand adjacent to the Great Wolf, though only Orc and Mag'har Orcs can use it. Non-Orcs aren't completely left out though! While not required to obtain the helm, that statue holds a different secret which any player can obtain with a minor detour. Shortly down the path at 30,80 on the map, players may see a shiny Mark of Goldrinn sitting upon a boulder. Interacting with it will trigger a 60 second Wolf Spirit Guardian buff during which an Honored Wolf Spirit will follow you. Bring the spirit to that Statue of the Great Wolf (aided by the convenient Treasure Chest icon on your minimap), and it will have a special dialogue option, revealing a nearby treasure chest containing the Claw of Lo'Gosh! Unlike the Cowl, the Claw is usable by all characters that can equip fist weapons! Back outside the cave, players may spot a similar Mark of Ursol outside, which activates a similar 60 second buff and accompanying bear spirit leading to another treasure, but we'll save that mystery for another time!
