Conquest of Azeroth Live Event Schedule
Conquest of Azeroth live event calendar — weekly world boss rotations, Heroic shrine nights, raid timeline windows, Mythic+ affix schedule, and seasonal events on Vol'jin.
Weekly World Boss Rotation
Every Tuesday at 18:00 server time, one of the July world bosses rotates active across the open world of Vol'jin. The rotation repeats every seven weeks. The current week's boss is announced in the launcher and the official Conquest of Azeroth Discord.
- Week 1: Azuregos — Azshara (open world and Heroic shrine variant in Hillsbrad Foothills)
- Week 2: Lord Kazzak — Blasted Lands (Heroic shrine in Blasted Lands Aug 11)
- Week 3: Soggoth — Vashj'ir depths (Heroic variant Aug 13)
- Week 4: Kaldros the Depthbreaker — Stormwind Harbor
- Week 5: Atal'zul — Eastern Plaguelands (Heroic Aug 15)
- Week 6: Snowgrave — Winterspring summit
- Week 7: Setis the Tideborn — Stranglethorn Vale coast
Heroic Shrine Nights
Each Heroic world boss shrine opens once per week on a fixed Tuesday night at 20:00 server time, with a 90-minute clear window before the boss despawns. Ladder guilds that clear within 60 minutes receive bonus Honor and a guaranteed Wildvine consumable drop.
- August 10 (Tue): Heroic Azuregos — Hillsbrad Foothills shrine
- August 11 (Wed): Heroic Kazzak — Blasted Lands shrine
- August 12 (Thu): Heroic Soggoth — Vashj'ir shrine
- August 13 (Fri): Heroic Nightmare Dragons — four-boss ladder
- August 15 (Sun): Heroic Atal'zul — Eastern Plaguelands ladder closer
Raid Timeline Windows
Ascended-tier raid windows re-open specific legacy raids on fixed weekends so that alts and catch-up mains can target specific loot. Each window runs from 19:00 Friday through 23:59 Sunday server time. The next four windows are listed below.
- September 5–7: Blackrock Depths Ascended — open for one weekend only
- September 6 (Sat): Onyxia's Lair Ascended — second window of the year
- September 12–14: Molten Core Ascended — Ragnaros 30% start permanently
- September 19–21: Blackwing Lair Ascended — Nefarian returns
Mythic+ Affix Schedule
Mythic+ affixes rotate every Tuesday at 04:00 server time. The current August rotation and the September preview are below. Caches are doubled for completed Keystone 10 runs since the August 15 patch.
- August 26 – September 2: Skirmish + Overflowing + Bolstering
- September 2 – 9: Raging + Necrotic + Quaking
- September 9 – 16: Teeming + Volcanic + Storming

Seasonal Events
Conquest of Azeroth runs three seasonal events on Vol'jin: Crow's Cache during the live Heroic ladder, a Hallow's End nightmare re-run in October, and a winter Solstice raid race in December. Each event grants a unique title, a mount, and a cache containing class-themed transmog.
How to Stay Updated
Event timing is also surfaced in-game: the launcher banner shows the next 24 hours of content, and the in-game calendar (default keybind: O) lists weekly resets, affixes, and raid windows. The Ascension official Discord pins the weekly rotation thread every Monday evening.
