The buff was a way to flex to the player base that you\u2019ve \u201cnever known defeat,\u201d and that your character was essentially immortal. You also received extra buffs whenever you defeated a Classic raid\u2019s final boss with the Soul of Iron buff active.\u00a0 And now, with another edition of WoW Classic being launched in the form of Hardcore servers, players are eager to know if the Soul of Iron buff is making a comeback.\u00a0 Thankfully, the buff will be making the transition over from seasonal servers onto Hardcore servers once the game mode launches on Aug. 24.\u00a0 Can you get Soul of Iron in WoW Classic Hardcore?\u00a0 In WoW Classic Hardcore, the Soul of Iron buff is essentially always active for every player. Since the only \u201crisk\u201d attached to the buff was the threat of potentially dying\u2014and that\u2019s always a looming factor on Hardcore servers\u2014the buff is essentially inlaid with the game mode.\u00a0 But, if you want, you can head back to the Undercity or Ironforge and enable the same Soul of Iron buff that was present in Season of Mastery for your Hardcore characters. This feature was confirmed by WoW Classic Hardcore developer Clayton Stone in an interview with WoW content creator Savix.\u00a0 Related: Which WoW Classic Hardcore server should you play on? Having the Soul of Iron buff on one of your characters is nothing more than a status symbol, and on Hardcore servers, that same level of recognition that you got from having a high-level character with the buff will be just as valuable by having a high-level character. Getting to level 60\u2014let alone clearing raids\u2014on Hardcore servers is a difficult task on its own. When people see you at max level on a Hardcore realm, that will be enough to show them you mean business.\u00a0 Still, the Soul of Iron buff will be available for you to obtain, should you want to show off just how much you\u2019ve accomplished in the new game mode. Players can get the Soul of Iron buff on their character by speaking with Watcher Fero in Ironforge or Watcher Morta in the Undercity.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/WoWClassic-HallofExplorers.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/941620"}],"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=941620"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/941620\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":941686,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/941620\/revisions\/941686"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/941638"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=941620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=941620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=941620"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=941620"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=941620"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=941620"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=941620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Since the only \u201crisk\u201d attached to the buff was the threat of potentially dying\u2014and that\u2019s always a looming factor on Hardcore servers\u2014the buff is essentially inlaid with the game mode.\u00a0 But, if you want, you can head back to the Undercity or Ironforge and enable the same Soul of Iron buff that was present in Season of Mastery for your Hardcore characters. This feature was confirmed by WoW Classic Hardcore developer Clayton Stone in an interview with WoW content creator Savix.\u00a0 Related: Which WoW Classic Hardcore server should you play on? Having the Soul of Iron buff on one of your characters is nothing more than a status symbol, and on Hardcore servers, that same level of recognition that you got from having a high-level character with the buff will be just as valuable by having a high-level character. Getting to level 60\u2014let alone clearing raids\u2014on Hardcore servers is a difficult task on its own. When people see you at max level on a Hardcore realm, that will be enough to show them you mean business.\u00a0 Still, the Soul of Iron buff will be available for you to obtain, should you want to show off just how much you\u2019ve accomplished in the new game mode. Players can get the Soul of Iron buff on their character by speaking with Watcher Fero in Ironforge or Watcher Morta in the Undercity.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/WoWClassic-HallofExplorers.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/941620"}],"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=941620"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/941620\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":941686,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/941620\/revisions\/941686"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/941638"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=941620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=941620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=941620"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=941620"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=941620"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=941620"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=941620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
