Where these details come from

Zone names, encounter themes and named threats come from the creator’s English client catalog captured October 20, 2026. The first eight unlock conditions are visible in our zone-menu screenshot. Elwynn’s timing and boss definitions are documented in the detailed guide’s sources.

Boss rosters and arrival times now come from the complete client catalog. Later unlock conditions still need confirmation in your character’s menu. Use the creator’s current zone menu ↗ for your character’s availability.
