The initial rush of getting Wrath of the Lich King and rushing your way to the end of the new content as fast as possible has probably worn off by now many times over and you may even have a second character all the way up to Level 80 and standing by, waiting to do something. So, what do you do next? What else is there to do when you hit the magic 80? Luckily, Blizzard is among the best at always prepping end-game content and this time around is no different.
New Dailies
There are new dailies throughout Northrend, starting at Level 71 and going up to Level 80. They are all good ways to get gold (up to 450 a day with all 25 dailies) and they’re all going to be a great way to boost your reputation quickly and effectively as you surge forward to get your rare items.
Instance Progressions
Places like Icecrown Glacier are loaded down with multiple options for end-game content including instance progressions where you can play through most of the build up to Icecrown Citadel (though it is not yet in place for you to actually play through). There are tons of rewards, great lore involved and a number of ways to get into both PvP and instances in this segment of the game.
Raiding
There are of course raids and dungeons you can run at Level 80 as well. There are currently four raids to play through – Naxxramas, Obsidian Sanctum, The Nexus, and the Vault of Archavon. In the end, you’ll be able to get through a whole lot of content and then you can run through all of the Level 70-80 instances again in heroic mode. Expect new dungeons and raids to be added as the game ages as well, with probably another two years between now and the next expansion pack.
PvP
The PvP content has never been Warcraft’s strong point, but this time around, there is quite a bit of new content to enjoy if you know where to look. This includes Season 5 Arena play, the new PvP daily quests in Grizzly Hills, the new battleground – Strand of the Ancients, and the new outdoor PvP zone, Lake Wintergrasp which offers some of the best PvP rewards in the game.
Achievements
When all else fails, start getting some of the nearly 1,000 achievements in the game, building up your character and your profile to showcase all of the amazing things you’ve done that others have not. Get 100 mounts, defeat everyone on heroic, explore every continent – there are tons of these to do.
Don’t ever feel like you’re out of things to do at Level 80 again. Visit Warcraft Formula and learn what other players are already doing to enjoy the top new content in end-game play.
