WoW SoD 7 Naxxramas loot table
Druid
Why stop at one Dreamwalker set when you can have ALL the Dreamwalker sets? Balance DPS, Feral DPS, Healer, Tank—it’s a buffet of gear that all sounds exactly the same. Dreamwalker Mitts, Boots, Hood, and Grips? Sure, but don’t mix up your Dreamwalker Sabatons with your Dreamwalker Stompers, or the Scarlet Crusade might just laugh at you. Here’s your table of everything you’ll need to hoard for your druid’s midlife crisis.
WoW SoD 7 Hunter gear
Hunters get more Cryptstalker gear than they can fit in their quivers. Ranged DPS? Melee DPS? Doesn’t matter—just slap Cryptstalker in front of a random piece of armor and call it a day. Boots, Greaves, Girdle, Belt—Blizzard’s really out here making sure no one forgets you’re a Cryptstalker. Don’t worry, you’ll look fabulous while kiting mobs or pretending you know how to melee. Here’s your ultimate Cryptstalker hoarding checklist.
WoW SoD 7 Mage gear
Mages get their one-stop shop for all things Frostfire—a name that’s somehow icy and fiery at the same time. Mage DPS, Mage Healer, Original Stats—it doesn’t matter! Blizzard just slapped Frostfire on every piece of cloth they could find. Sandals, belts, mitts, and even pants (yes, mages wear pants sometimes). Here’s your official guide to becoming the most stylish caster in Azeroth.
WoW SoD 7 Tyr’s Instance
Tyr’s Hand—finally, a raid where you can prove to everyone that the Scarlet Crusade’s obsession with red outfits isn’t the only thing they’ve got going on. Blizzard dropped a loading screen teaser and said, Here, have some mystery! This new Tyr’s Hand Instance might be a raid, a dungeon, or just a fancy backdrop for Naxxramas rejects. Eastern Plaguelands is getting its glow-up, and you’re invited to clear out Scarlet Crusaders one cryptic hint at a time.
| Question | Answer |

WoW SoD 7 Karazhan Instance
Karazhan Crypts—because regular Karazhan just wasn’t spooky enough. Blizzard teased this gem with a Meeting Stone and whispered, Dark Riders, priest quests, and Light shards, oh my! Nobody knows if it’s a dungeon, a raid, or just Medivh’s basement junk drawer, but hey, it’s got lore! So take your torches and your patience because this crypt’s gonna be crawling with mystery, holy drama, and probably bugs.
Season of Discovery: The Burning Crusade
Oh, you thought Season of Discovery was heading straight into The Burning Crusade? Nope. Blizzard has flat-out said, We’re not doing that… yet. But maybe. Someday. If the forums scream loud enough. So while your dreams of leveling through Outland with new runes are on pause, don’t give up hope. Blizzard loves player feedback—and by feedback, they mean relentless Reddit posts. Until then, just enjoy Eastern Plaguelands and pretend it’s Hellfire Peninsula.
