World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Classic will be receiving its next content drop early next week as Phase 3: The Black Temple rolls out on January 17th alongside the start of a new PvP season. The Battle for Mount Hyjal and The Black Temple raids where players will face off against Archimonde and Illidan, respectively, will be opening their gates the week after on January 27th.

The January 27th update will also introduce Epic Gems for Jewelcrafting which can be obtained from Indormi in the Caverns of Time, by mining in Battle for Mount Hyjal, and as a rare drop from Black Temple. The update will also include the addition of the Netherwing Daily Quest Hub in Shadowmoon Valley and extra class set token drops from bosses in Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep instances.

Keep in mind that you’ll need to complete separate attunement quests for Mount Hyjal and Black Temple before you can enter the new raids. More information can be found on the World of Warcraft official site.
