World of Warcraft: Plunderstorm will soon come to an end, as Blizzard confirmed that the limited-time battle royale will conclude its initial run on Tuesday, April 30. However, to tide World of Warcraft players over, Blizzard also stated that the reputation gained from taking part in Plunderstorm will be doubled starting with the April 16 weekly maintenance.
Introduced in Patch 10.2.6, Plunderstorm is a 60-player PVP battle royale that has a pirate theme and rewards to match. With the Arathi Basin serving as the battleground, players must loot and plunder their way across the map and take down both NPC enemies and other players looking to claim the top spot. Various items and spells based loosely on World of Warcraft's 13 classes can also be found by killing enemies and looting treasure chests, though their effects and potency will differ. Throughout Plunderstorm's run, Blizzard has also made adjustments to each item and spell in the battle royale and has even hosted a Plunderstorm content creator event.
Though Plunderstorm will soon meet its maker, the battle royale event will have one final sendoff to give players a better chance to claim some exclusive rewards. According to Blizzard, starting on April 16 alongside weekly maintenance, World of Warcraft players who take part in Plunderstorm will earn twice the reputation gained depending on how much plunder was looted in a match. This buff will last until April 30, when Plunderstorm will end its current run. This bonus will be in effect for Solos, Duos, and Trios, and will also be granted upon winning a match. With 40 Renown ranks and 2,500 reputation points needed to level up each rank, World of Warcraft players looking to finish their Renown track will have an easier time earning rewards such as the Plunderlord's attire and the Polly Roger dragon riding mount.
It is not known if any Plunderstorm rewards will return to World of Warcraft in the future, so players looking to claim anything will have until April 30 to do so. Before Plunderstorm concludes, World of Warcraft: Dragonflight Season 4 will begin on Tuesday, April 23, following server maintenance. The new season will add a new dungeon reward track for Heroic and Mythic difficulties, an updated Mythic+ Dungeon rotation, and Awakened Dragonflight raids that rotate periodically and offer a chance at better rewards for clearing them.
Though the battle royale will soon set sail from Azeroth, Blizzard has stated that Plunderstorm could return to World of Warcraft at some point. Only time will tell when that will be.

Work Orders have been a controversial addition to Crafting Professions since the rework in Dragonflight. While many players appreciated the ability to simply press a button to craft instead of having to go through a lengthy trading process, others quickly lamented the lack of Public Work Orders — or more specifically, Public Work Orders that were worth the gold to craft them in terms of pay. Blizzard has heard these criticisms and announced a new feature for Work Orders in The War Within: NPCs will place Work Orders in the crafting system to potentially alleviate some of the availability scarcity that currently plagues the market. Announced in the latest Wowcast, Blizzard stated that the NPCs won't provide monetary payments as lucrative as crafting Work Orders for other players.
