    Progress Clears Tempest Keep and Serpentshrine Cavern 58 Minutes After Launch

    Progress wasted no time in The Burning Crusade Anniversary Phase 2, finishing every Tier 5 boss in Tempest Keep and Serpentshrine Cavern just 58 minutes after the raids went live. The result and initial details were reported by the Wowhead Classic team.

    The report credits a huge amount of preparation, and notes that a parkour-style pipe jump may have helped seal the run — a detail Wowhead frames as a possibility rather than a confirmed tactic. Beyond that, specifics are light for now. As more public logs and perspectives appear, the community will get a clearer picture of the route and execution.

    Note: Our summary is grounded solely in Wowhead’s report. If additional confirmed details surface, we’ll update.

    Quick UI takeaways for your own T5 night

    Speed on release night is rarely about raw DPS alone. Clean visuals and fast inputs make a big difference when your raid is threading pulls and executing movement-heavy strategies. If you’re pushing TK/SSC this week, a little UI housekeeping goes a long way:

    • Minimize visual noise. Turn down combat text spam and hide non-essential UI elements during boss fights so mechanics stay readable.
    • Prioritize nameplate clarity. High-contrast plates and larger cast bars help with snap-targeting interrupts, mind controls, and priority spawns.
    • Tune camera and movement. Use the maximum camera distance and comfortable strafe/jump binds to handle tight positioning and any “parkour” moments.
    • Streamline target marking. Set keybinds for raid markers in the default Key Bindings menu so you aren’t fishing through the dropdown mid-pull.
    • Keep raid frames lean. Show only what you need (dispellable debuffs, mana, and role icons) to speed up triage and reduce eye travel.

    Congratulations to Progress on a blistering Tier 5 clear. Whether you’re chasing times or just aiming for a smooth first week, small UI tweaks add real consistency — and consistency is what wins raid nights.

    Save Up to 50% on Burning Crusade Anniversary Packs and Services Through May 18

    According to a Wowhead report, Blizzard has put The Burning Crusade Anniversary upgrade packs on sale now through May 18. The Outland Heroic Pack and Outland Epic Pack are each 50% off for the duration, and the standalone character boost is also discounted during this window.

    Note: The discounts end on May 18. If you’re considering a bundle, don’t wait until the last minute.

    Both bundles include cosmetics tied to the Anniversary version of Burning Crusade, with mounts and pets that also apply to Retail collections, per Wowhead’s write-up. If you’re returning for Outland and want a cleaner runway, these are meant to pack in theme items and conveniences.

    • Outland Epic Pack — Includes everything in the Heroic Pack, plus a Level 58 Character Boost (Anniversary) and 30 days of game time.
    • Outland Heroic Pack — Includes a Netherdrake flying mount, Phase-Hunter ground mount, a Whelping pet, an Exodar toy, and a Naaru-themed Hearthstone effect for various WoW collections, and more.

    If you just need a jump-start for an Outland alt, the standalone level boost is also on sale, though the Wowhead post doesn’t list all regional prices. For specifics and purchase links, start with the Wowhead announcement.

    Heads-up for Hardcore and Era players: As covered by Warcraft Tavern, there isn’t a Hardcore version of The Burning Crusade Anniversary. Characters that remain on Hardcore realms continue in Classic (vanilla), not into TBC Anniversary. These Anniversary bundles mainly serve characters progressing into Outland.

    Short version: if you’re planning to spend time in Outland during the Anniversary, this is a straightforward way to pick up themed cosmetics, and the Epic Pack adds both a boost and game time. The sale runs through May 18.
