Today marked the Tides of Vengeance content update for World of Warcraft -- otherwise known every bit patch 8.1 -- and one of the perks for players of Night Elf characters is the Nighttime Warrior advent.

The appearance is unlocked by completing the precursor quest line for the new Warfront (also releasing today), Battle for Darkshore. Level 120 Alliance players of any race can selection upward the offset breadcrumb quest immediately upon logging in, as a spectral owl will appear by your side in the Port of Boralus, sending you to Stormwind.

I won't spoil the quest line here, except to say that it includes pregnant changes for several familiar elf heroes, major and minor, and includes one extraordinary cut scene that shows a new side of some familiar characters. In total, it takes about a half hour if you heed to all the dialog.

At the completion of the quest line, you receive access to the Nighttime Warrior customization, which is now bachelor for any of your Night Elf characters at level 120. Unlocking the appearance once works account-wide.

To swap to the Night Warrior appearance, visit any barbershop and customize your skin colour. One of the options volition give yous the dark bluish/black optics of the Nighttime Warrior instead of the ordinary glowing white-blue.

A Night Warrior style Night Elf next to a traditional Night Elf non-player character.
