Zul’Aman Is Now Live in Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary

Posted on by

Blizzard has opened Zul’Aman in World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary Edition, with The Gods of Zul’Aman update now live as of October 22, 2026.

The 10-player level 70 raid is set in the Ghostlands, where players take on Zul’jin and the Amani trolls inside their stronghold. No attunement is required, and Zul’Aman uses a 3-day reset lockout.

The raid includes six bosses: Nalorakk, Akil’zon, Jan’alai, Halazzi, Hex Lord Malacrass, and Zul’jin. It also brings back the timed hostage rescue run tied to the Amani War Bear. Once the raid starts, the Amani begin preparing executions. Defeating lieutenants and saving hostages adds loot and extends the timer, and rescuing every hostage before time runs out rewards the mount.

The update also makes several broader Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary changes aimed at opening up more endgame paths:

  • Doomlord Kazzak and Doomwalker loot is now Bind on Equip instead of Bind on Pickup.
  • Battle for Mount Hyjal and Black Temple no longer require attunement.
  • Heroic dungeon keys now require Honored reputation instead of the previous higher requirement.
  • Heroic dungeons have been adjusted to their final reduced difficulty state.
  • Doomlord Kazzak, Doomwalker, and bosses across Karazhan, Gruul’s Lair, Magtheridon’s Lair, Serpentshrine Cavern, Tempest Keep, and Zul’Aman can now drop Badges of Justice.
  • G’eras in Shattrath has new Badge of Justice items available, including Nether Vortex.

Epic gems are also becoming more available. Magtheridon’s Black Sack of Gems and Jewelcrafter’s Brilliant Glass can now contain them, though Blizzard notes that existing Brilliant Glasses and previously looted unopened Black Sacks of Gems won’t be updated retroactively.

Rounding out the patch, Outland faction vendors now sell Leatherworking recipes for Greater Drums, Knothide Quiver, and Knothide Ammo Pouch. Primal Nether and Nether Vortex are no longer soulbound, which should make crafting and trading a bit less restrictive.
