You can even go do the Lesser Wind Stones again in Twilight encampments, which are also scaled up to 110. Unlike C’thun and Ossirian, who are their original level 60 selves inside their raids, these three scale up to 110, and it will likely take a group to bring them down. You can also go kill Ossirian the Unscarred, C’Thun, and the original three world mobs from the old AQ gates event - the Colossus of Ashi, the Colossus of Regal, and the Colossus of Zora, who hadn’t been seen in WoW since last year’s event (and before that, the original 2006 event). You do this by turning in meat to the Alliance or Horde representatives in the zone, which will fill you with a nostalgic longing (or perhaps dread) if you were there back in 2006 and remember doing this. But you can change that or continue it if your faction gathers enough commendations.

The faction that ends the day with the most commendations gets to see their banner fly over the gong for the next year - 2017’s winner was the Horde. Once you’re there, you can grind up commendations for your faction of choice.

So what are you waiting for? Get started by heading out to Silithus.

New this year are a pair of event-only mounts with a Red Qiraji War Tank for Horde and a Blue Qiraji War Tank for Alliance. The Call of the Scarab micro-holiday commemorates the event by basically letting you relive a part of it: that means going to Silithus to gather resources and do world quests. That’s right, it’s time to celebrate the anniversary of 2006’s Gates of Ahn’Qiraj event where players rang the gong and triggered a ten hour battle against the Silithid and Qiraji forces of C’Thun. If you remember last year’s Call of the Scarab, or even if you don’t, it’s back this year.
