What are Buffs in WoW Classic Season of Discovery?

World buffs in WoW Classic are available by completing specific activities or getting them when a player turns in a specific quest in a capital city.

Here are the World Buffs you can get in WoW Classic:

  • Warchief’s Blessing
  • Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer
  • Spirit of Zandalar
  • Songflower Serenade
  • Dire Maul Tribute buffs (Mol’dar’s Moxie, Fengus’ Ferocity, Slip’kik’s Savvy)
  • Sayge’s Dark Fortune buffs (from Darkmoon Faire)

Unfortunately, most of these buffs are available at level 60 and still aren’t a part of Season of Discovery. Instead, Blizzard Entertainment created the new Boon of Blackfathom buff.

You can get the Boon of Blackfathom (BFD) buff if you’re located in either Thunder Bluff or Darnassus when a player turns in the Perfect Blackfathom Pearl quest. This quest starts from the item with the same name and it drops from the final boss in the Blackfathom Deeps raid, Aku’mai. You will also get the buff if you turn in the quest item yourself. 

You can get this quest item once per character and it has a 100 percent drop rate chance from Aku’mai.
