Note: Players who previously earned the Frostmourne Weapon and Icecrown frame will not be able to claim them again.
Embark on the Eternal War
The Lich King’s icy grip has reached into Sanctuary, threatening its survival. Warriors must rise to meet his challenge in a new series of quests and battles.
Daily Tasks and Frozen Boons
Throughout the event, players can earn Frozen Boons by:
- Completing daily tasks.

Frozen Boons unlock progression through the Eternal War, offering exclusive rewards, including weapon skins and faction banners for both the Horde and the Alliance. Completing the entire event also grants access to the “For the Horde” and “For the Alliance” emojis.
Battle the Lich King in Fallen Citadel
“Now I stand, the lion before the lambs… and they do not fear…They cannot fear.”—The Lich King
The heart of the Eternal War event lies in a climactic showdown against the Lich King himself. From his Frozen Throne, he has unleashed a devastating assault, and only the strongest adventurers can hope to defeat him.
How to Participate
To challenge the Lich King:
- Collect Fallen Citadel Gates, available from dungeon content, log-in rewards, and rare monster drops.
- Use these gates to transport yourself to the Frozen Throne.
Rewards
Defeating the Lich King provides a chance to earn legendary weapon cosmetics from World of Warcraft. During the battle, players can utilize two random skill orbs—Tranquilizing Shot and Healing Circle—to gain an edge in the fight.
Face-off in Cutthroat Basin
The Alliance and Horde clash once more in the Cutthroat Basin, a PvP battleground inspired by the iconic Arathi Basin. Set in a mountain-rimmed valley, this mode pits players in a struggle for control points like the Mill, Smithy, and Stables.
Conqueror Mode
In Cutthroat Basin, all character levels, items, and gem levels are normalized for fair play. Additionally, players can find random skill orbs to aid them, including:
- Blessings of Kings
- Stealth
- Eagle Eye
- Blink
Victory in the Cutthroat Basin contributes to your Eternal War progress, making it an essential stop for competitive adventurers.
