Summary

• Patch 11.0.7 Siren Isle brings new zone, racial ability updates, and customization options to WoW.
• Players can explore a mysterious island, earn rewards, and engage in new quests and activities.
• Quality-of-life improvements include racial ability buffs, cross-faction dungeon queues, and easier gearing up options.

World of Warcraft has officially revealed the full notes for Patch 11.0.7, the Siren Isle content update for The War Within. The new zone and quests, racial ability updates, customization options, and quality-of-life improvements will arrive in World of Warcraft when the patch goes live on December 17.

Patch 11.0.7, titled Siren Isle, is coming to World of Warcraft soon. The last content update of Season 1 of The War Within brings players to the Siren Isle, a mysterious island filled with new secrets, activities, and cosmetics for World of Warcraft fans to earn.

Now, World of Warcraft has officially revealed the content update’s patch notes ahead of its release. Blizzard even partnered with WoW content creator Kelani to make a short video showcasing the new activities, changes, and rewards in the update.

Some of the biggest alterations came in the form of buffs to nearly a dozen racial abilities in World of Warcraft, mainly focused around those used by underperforming Allied Races. Additionally, Humans, Kul Tirans, and the Human form of Worgen receive the pointed ear customization used by most of the Arathi of Hallowfall.

Several quality-of-life improvements are coming in the update as well. Cross-faction World of Warcraft groups will be able to queue into dungeons together, provided they have a full group. Additionally, several changes to Harbinger Crests are coming to make gearing up for the end of Season 1 easier, with less of the currency required to purchase Nascent Gilded Harbinger Crests or the Crest trade-up bags. What’s more, Mythic+ dungeons will now grant additional scaling rewards, while the currency penalty for failing a key’s timer will be lessened. Lastly, all transmogs from previously-completed quests should be unlocked automatically when logging onto a character for the first time.

Of course, some of the most important parts of the update come with their questlines. A new campaign chapter, Lingering Shadows, awaits players, promising to reunite them with a “familiar face” in a narrative bridge between The War Within and World of Warcraft Patch 11.1, Undermined. Additionally, fans will be able to explore the fate of the Kirin Tor in the aftermath of Dalaran’s destruction as they say goodbye to those who were lost, and help the survivors figure out how to rebuild and move on. These quests, updates, and a slew of other UI and accessibility improvements, will be added to the game when the patch goes live on December 17.

World of Warcraft Patch 11.0.5 Siren Isle Update Notes

Prepare to dive into mystery and mayhem with the newest content update in The War Within— Siren Isle. Explore an enigmatic outdoor zone, procure new items and rewards for you and your alternate characters, engage in new campaign chapters—the Dalaran epilogue and Lingering Shadows prologue to Undermine(d)—and more!

Answer the Call of the Siren Isle

Explore alongside the goblin, earthen, and Arathi expedition teams to learn more about the “singing crystal” located at the heart of Siren Isle.

While battling through enemies new and old with daring bravado, earn a new currency—Flame-Blessed Iron—to trade for items like mounts, pets, gear, and transmogs. It can also be used to open one of three Excavation sites on the island, allowing players to kill a formidable foe and earn unique rewards.

A powerful new ring—Cyrce’s Circlet—is available by completing the Siren Isle introductory quest line. By completing a series of quests, players can upgrade their ring over time to increase its item level and gain new powers to help them on Siren Isle.

Players can also earn Singing Citrines, which can be socketed in and out of Cyrce’s Circlet. These Citrines can be mixed and matched to create powerful combinations, and the gems can be socketed and unsocketed as they see fit.

Arathi Ear Customizations for Humans and Kul Tiran

Humans and Kul Tiran will gain new Arathi ear customizations. Head over to the Barber Shop to change up your appearance.
