When will Patch 10.0.5 release in WoW Dragonflight?

Dragonflight is the first-ever dragon-themed World of Warcraft expansion that takes players to the distant Dragon Isles to explore the four new zones—the Waking Shores, Ohn’ahran Plains, the Azure Span, and Thaldraszus. Aside from regular content updates, Blizzard Entertainment shipped the new and improved version of flying—Dragonriding, revamped talent trees and professions, and a refreshing class-race combination—Dracthyr Evokers. 

Although the expansion released on Nov. 28 worldwide has been fun and games for the large majority of the community, the book can’t be judged by its covers, and the expansion can’t be judged by its first update. Thankfully, Blizzard Entertainment recently outlined its plan for the Dragonflight roadmap, promising six patches for 2023. Unlike Shadowlands, which had two major content updates over two years, Dragonflight will have two big content updates just this year, with other patches introducing holiday updates, heritage armors, a megadungeon, and other similar features tweaking the gameplay.

The first update of Dragonflight will be Patch 10.0.5. The patch will primarily focus on introducing new features to the game with the stars of the patch being the Trading Posts, Primalist Tomorrow, and white and gray transmogs. If you’ve already run out of content and achievements you can chase in Dragonflight, here’s everything that Patch 10.0.5 will introduce and when will it hit the live servers.

What will Patch 10.0.5 introduce in WoW Dragonflight?

Patch 10.0.5 in Dragonflight will, according to the official Blizzard WoW roadmap, introduce the Trading Posts, Primalist Tomorrow, and white and gray transmogs. Unfortunately, this patch won’t introduce any major content updates, and, for that, you’ll have to wait until Patch 10.1, which is scheduled to release somewhere between spring and summer 2023.

The Trading Posts are easily the most exciting feature to come to live WoW servers in the near future. Located in Orgrimmar and Stormwind, Trading Posts allow players to buy both new and old cosmetics, mounts, and toys with a special currency—Trader’s Tender. 

Primalist Tomorrow is a new sub-zone in Thaldraszus that players visit as they are completing the main storyline of zone and expansion. Currently, the sub-zone is, if we disregard Trail of Elements, a deserted zone with little to no action. With this next update, Blizzard will probably liven up the zone with world quests and additional world events.

After years and years of pleading Blizzard for white and gray transmogs, we’re finally seeing our wishes fulfilled. This means that we will all have a wide variety of transmogs to collect and, later, to choose from when trying to assemble a perfect transmog for the week.  

When will Patch 10.0.5 release in WoW Dragonflight?

Patch 10.0.5 has been live on the PTR for a little more than 20 days. Although the regular PTR cycle normally lasts 10 weeks, the WoW community was led to believe the patch won’t hit the live servers anytime before February.

Blizzard, however, proved everyone wrong and recently revealed Patch 10.0.5 will go live on Jan. 24 with all its intended features, including the Trading Post, new world event in the Primalist Future, and the option to transmog white and grey gear.

Bear in mind Patch 10.0.5 isn’t bringing forth a lot of fresh content and you’ll still have more than enough time to complete seasonal achievements like Keystone Master and to farm reputation with factions of the Dragon Isles.
