Luckily, World of Warcraft fans who can’t collect all the items this year won’t be entirely out of luck. The blog confirmed that at the very least, the new Tier 2 World of Warcraft class sets will return in later years, so players will have the chance to pick up those they missed during future anniversary events.
The Trading Post is also getting in on the fun starting in November. The free reward for completing the Traveler’s Log is a cycle of back items inspired by the factions of Warcraft 3, and the World of Warcraft class ensembles from last year are returning with their class restrictions removed, so fans should be sure to save some Trader’s Tender if they can.
