Blizzard is implementing the Discoverer's Delight experience buff starting the week of March 5 for leveling characters, providing a 100% bonus up from 50% experience bonus in Season of Discovery. This buff was first introduced as a 50% experience bonus for leveling players, and with this update, the experience bonus will be increased to 100%. This should allow players to level to the current cap of 40 much faster, experiencing new content such as the Gnomeregan raid.

As of this week's weekly reset, the weekly cap on Season 3 Dragonflight Crests is gone! You can farm as many crests as you want now. As of now, the limiting factor for gear crafting and upgrades will be Flightstones, as there is still a cap of 2,000 Flightstones you can hold at all times.

Taliesin and Evitel cover the latest news in The Weekly Reset. This week they talk about the legacy of Steve Danuser, the former World of Warcraft Narrative Director.

World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery players may have already discovered some of the Runes coming in future phases. The retro server experience may have just begun Phase 2, but World of Warcraft fans have already found hints at what to expect in Phase 3 and beyond.

During Season of Discovery Phase 1, players thinking about Phase 2 were concerned that many of the mechanical bosses in the Gnomeregan raid would be immune to bleed and poison effects. If they were, that would invalidate many beloved runes and character specializations. Blizzard recently stated that none of the bosses would be immune but that some would have increased resistance to those types of effects. As usual Blizzard did not provide specific details, but now with the release of the Gnomeregan raid players have been able to figure out these resistances. Players have also made an unexpected discovery about the armor that Gnomeregan bosses have. The mechanical bosses have very high armor values — some even higher than Ragnaros from the level 60 Molten Core raid!
