World of Warcraft Classic Adding Huge Buff to Season of Discovery Experience Boost

World of Warcraft Classic is increasing the new 50% experience boost in Season of Discovery to 100% and applying it to all characters, regardless of level. This massive change is coming to World of Warcraft on March 5, and will make leveling up in Season of Discovery easier than ever before.

Season of Discovery is World of Warcraft’s newest Classic experiment that consists of multiple phases, each of which has a gradually rising level cap. With the start of Phase 2 of Season of Discovery, World of Warcraft implemented the Discoverer's Delight 50% experience boost for all characters up until they reach level 25, the original level cap from WoW Classic SoD Phase 1.

According to a forum post by WoW Classic senior game producer Josh “Aggrend” Greenfield, the Discoverer’s Delight XP boost is doubling from 50% to 100% starting on March 5. What’s more, characters will benefit from this experience boost all the way to level 40. World of Warcraft was already planning on adding this boost with the start of Phase 3, but it decided to push the buff through at the midway point of Phase 2 to let players more easily level alts and enjoy the second Season of Discovery endgame.

This isn’t the only quality-of-life improvement Aggrend revealed in his forum post. The gold cost of racial mounts and mount training at level 40 is also being cut in half, making it much easier for players to get their first mounts. Additionally, gold rewarded from World of Warcraft Classic quests between level 1 and 39 will be increased to make completing them more lucrative, and to help purchase new skills at the increased rate caused by the experience buff. At the moment, there are no plans to spread this gold increase to quests of level 40 or higher, nor to reduce the cost of Epic mount training at level 60.
