The short version is that you have to kill the summoned creature Adherent of the Abyss in Stormsong Valley, then use the Wow gold classic item Aether of the Abyss when in a N'Zoth attack of Vale of Eternal Blossoms of Uldum. You will see a Shard of Corruption in a number of the glowing purple cracks around the floor. Looting it gives you a search to find 20 of these.

When you finish that quest, you are transformed into a Void Wraith instantly, with 4.6 million wellbeing and new skills. To make your rewards, you'll need to kill ten players of faction without dying.

World of Warcraft was a match truly ahead of its time. So much so, that its players already witnessed the effects of a pandemic over a decade past. Now, that pandemic can prove useful to scientists studying covid-19.

On September 13, 2005, Blizzard's incredibly popular massive multiplayer online role playing game World of Warcraft (WoW) experienced an unintended event that mimicked that the spread of a viral disease throughout its playerbase. A damaging effect, called Corrupted Blood, devoting tens of thousands of players, and abandoned lower-leveled characters in an inevitable death-loop. The effect, called a debuff, was a temporary condition, but one which may spread to other players if they stood close enough to one another, exactly like a true virus.

A week after the outbreak, it compelled Blizzard to restart every WoW server to stop it from spreading out of control.

The infection originated from Hakkar the Soulflayer -- the manager of this very initial 20-player raid Blizzard released. Hakkar would cast Corrupted Blood on players and it might damage them for approximately ten minutes. Players would spread the impact to other people if they got too close to those infected. After the 10 seconds were completed, or players finished the boss battle, the harmful impact was supposed to end. Only it didn't.

A programming supervision allowed the debuff to disperse beyond the site of the Hakkar boss fight and into the world at large. Much like rats fueled the Bubonic Plague, characters' trained animals spurred the Corrupted Blood outbreak. Hunter characters can summon and dismiss pets to fight in their side at will. Once dismissed, all the effects on the pets are paused until it's called back . In effect, the critters could contract Corrupted Blood during the boss fight, disappear then exhibit the symptoms again elsewhere in the world map if they were again summoned. There it would spread to other pets and buy classic wow gold players that came in contact with them.
