Developer Blizzard Entertainment kicked off WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Edition Phase 5. It’s time to aid your faction in opening the gates of Ahn’Qiraj—granting access to the Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj and Temple of Ahn’Qiraj raids for your server. It also gives players a chance to earn the coveted Black Qiraji Resonating Crystal.
“On July 10 at 3:00 pm PDT, the War Effort will begin, and each faction can turn in an immense amount of resources that, once completed, require five days to be transported to Silithus. Due to the raid requirements in the questline leading up to the “Bang a Gong!” quest, the earliest that the ringing can occur in Silithus on highly-motivated realms could be just over a week later.”
The initial War Effort requires a great deal of supplies to be turned in by your faction on your realm, it’s up for every hero of the Alliance or the Horde to participate. Visit Field Marshal Snowfall (Alliance) in Ironforge or Warlord Gorchuk (Horde) in Orgrimmar to turn in your Commendations.
Once the gong is rung on a realm, the Ten Hour War begins, giving players 10 hours to finish up their quests and earn their rare mount. Once the 10 hours have elapsed, “Bang a Gong!” can no longer be turned in. Instead, the two Ahn’Qiraj raids will open, and the “Treasures of the Timeless One” quest will become available.
