World of Warcraft: Classic's Season of Discovery is Blizzard's way of shaking things up, a kind of WoW Remix that has something for everyone, as well as new challenges for the most dedicated players. Season of Discovery moves in phases, a bit like live service seasons, and entered its fourth phase on July 12, releasing new elements in waves: First a new level cap (60) with new runes and a new dungeon, followed by world bosses on July 18, and then the raids Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair on July 25.
It's the latter we're concerned with. These are foundational for WoW, the only two 40-player raids available at the game's launch, and were probably the very first activities in the game that came with genuine bragging rights. Obviously this is a world and community that's now had two decades of history atop that, and so the rework of the Molten Core raid in particular attracted attention from the kind of serious guilds that take on world firsts, which is being the first raid team to beat the new content at its highest level.
