The \u201cJoyous Journeys\u201d buff, which is enabled every few months and acts as a game-wide boost to all characters\u2019 experience gains by 50 percent, will be re-enabled for Wrath players before the game\u2019s next update goes live in one month.\u00a0 Trial of the Crusader (and its eponymous raid instance) bridged the gap between two of WoW\u2019s most historic raids\u2014Ulduar and Icecrown Citadel\u2014all the way back in 2009. The Trial of the Crusader update will take Wrath Classic players to the grounds of the Argent Tournament in northern Icecrown, where the raid, as well as a five-player dungeon (Trial of the Champion), will test players\u2019 ability in battle before they are ready to take on the ultimate threat: the Lich King.\u00a0 Related: Is World of Warcraft down? How to check WoW\u2019s server status In modern WoW, the Argent Tournament and the rest of the content that was introduced with Patch 3.2 have turned into a monotonous reputation grind for players who fell behind the content curve. But if you\u2019re a Classic player, you\u2019ll have the chance to complete all of the patch\u2019s daily quests and events while they\u2019re most relevant again.\u00a0 You\u2019ll have the chance to get any alts or backlogged characters you might have stopped leveling in Wrath Classic up to snuff ahead of the Trial of the Crusader update on June 20 thanks to the Joyous Journeys buff, which is likely to be disabled again once the patch goes live.\u00a0 The Trial of the Crusader raid will open on June 22, two days after the launch of the Classic update. The level-80 version of Onxyia\u2019s Lair will open that day as well.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/27025356\/World-of-Warcraft-Classic-Wrath-of-the-Lich-King.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871710"}],"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\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=871710"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871710\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":871723,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871710\/revisions\/871723"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/693761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=871710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=871710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=871710"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=871710"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=871710"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=871710"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=871710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
