Josh «Aggrend» Greenfield has been sharing his thoughts on Twitter regarding Season of Discovery Phase 3, the lessons learned from the development team on SoD, and how leveling is impacted by those design choices.
Season of Discovery Developer Update - XP Buff, Level 60 Raid Size and Itemization
27.02.2024 - 22:04 / wowhead.com
Blizzard has released a Season of Discovery Developer Update post, discussing implementing the Discoverer's Delight XP Buff, level 60 raid size, and level 60 itemization!
Players will be receiving the Discoverer's Delight experience buff, doubled from its current value to a 100% bonus, starting next week on March 5th. Additionally, Blizzard is making numerous tweaks to gold cost to compensate the faster leveling, meaning you won't be penalized when trying to buy a mount.
Not only that, Blizzard has announced that Season of Discovery will overhaul Molten Core into a 20 man raid experience, as well as adjusting items from level 60 raids.
This is great for existing characters that were not yet at the current level cap or were new characters created after the phase changes, but if you went into phase 2 with several characters at 25 already, it can be a little daunting to level them right now. We’ve been considering ways to help with this over the past several days and we’ve made adjustments to our existing plans.
- Starting next week (March 5th, with maintenance), the Discoverer’s Delight XP buff will be enabled on all realms, increasing XP gained from levels 1-39 by 100% (up from 50%).
We had always intended to increase Discoverer’s Delight to a 100% buff from 1-39 when phase 3 launches, so this is merely moving this change forward from the start of next phase, to a mid-point of this current phase.
Alongside Discoverer’s Delight adjustments, we’ll also be reducing the cost of normal racial mounts and mount training by roughly half at level 40.
We do not have changes planned for epic mounts at 60 at this time.
Lastly, we will also be increasing the base gold reward from all quest rewards while players are level 1-39.
- Please note that this bonus gold will NOT be in effect at level 40, meaning this will not impact the XP->Gold conversion for quests completed at the current max level. This will help equalize things and make questing while leveling a bit more lucrative, which will help players with things like purchasing new skills and buying their mount, since they will be leveling twice as fast.
Going forward, we are also looking at leveling adjustments for when phase 3 launches and the level cap raises to 50.
