Instead of transforming an old dungeon into a raid, phase four sees us returning to Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair---albeit with a whole host of changes and even a new boss. The raids both go live at the same time and if you're a keen raider in WoW Classic Season of Discovery, you need to know exactly when you can start progressing. Scroll down to see our countdown timer to the exact time at which Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair become accessible. Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair launch countdown Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair go live in every region at 3pm CT \/ 1pm PDT \/ 9pm BST on July 25 (via Blizzard). This is a global rollout, so all regions can access the raids at the same time. Refer to handy countdown below to see exactly how long is left until you can enter Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair. [hurrytimer id=\"1295148\"] In WoW Classic Season of Discovery phase four, Molten Core has been reworked to be a 20-person raid. Bosses have new abilities and drop updated loot, and there's even a new 11th boss somewhere inside the raid. You can also increase the difficulty level using the new Heat system, which makes more items drop from each boss. Additionally, Onyxia's Lair now scales to raids with fewer than 40 players and also has an updated loot table.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-19.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1295134"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2277"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1295134"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1295134\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1295262,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1295134\/revisions\/1295262"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1197116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1295134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1295134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1295134"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1295134"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1295134"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1295134"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1295134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

[hurrytimer id=\"1295148\"] In WoW Classic Season of Discovery phase four, Molten Core has been reworked to be a 20-person raid. Bosses have new abilities and drop updated loot, and there's even a new 11th boss somewhere inside the raid. You can also increase the difficulty level using the new Heat system, which makes more items drop from each boss. Additionally, Onyxia's Lair now scales to raids with fewer than 40 players and also has an updated loot table.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-19.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1295134"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2277"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1295134"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1295134\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1295262,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1295134\/revisions\/1295262"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1197116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1295134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1295134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1295134"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1295134"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1295134"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1295134"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1295134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
