I was immediately taken back by this, so I immediately checked what was going on. It&#8217;s a buff which does the following; <strong>Experience gain increased by 100%</strong> (confirmation below) and will be effective between <a href="https://twitter.com/Warcraft/status/1241048286372548608" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>20th March</strong> to <strong>20th April</strong></a>!</p>

<p><strong>Blizzard</strong> obviously aware of the current situation regarding <strong>coronavirus</strong> (<strong>COVID-19</strong>) and the need for everyone to start self-isolating has undoubtedly given players of <strong>World of Warcraft</strong> a little incentive to abide by the current restrictions and alleviate a lot of the free time, by offering this buff. Thankfully at the time of this blog post, there are no restrictions with this buff. I wore full <strong>heirlooms + Warmode</strong> and the <strong>100% Experience buff</strong> and completed a <strong>Legion Assault</strong> &#8211; which may I add is an insane experience gain! I got almost <strong>three levels</strong> in the space of one assault, please bear in mind I was gathering as well! I haven&#8217;t completed a <strong>BFA Faction Assault</strong> yet as there wasn&#8217;t one available, but I&#8217;d guess the experience gain from this is also incredible. In fact, <a href="https://twitter.com/Warcraft" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>@Warcraft</strong></a> on Twitter has just confirmed it!</p>

<p>With the weekend finally upon us, I was eager to get some auctions posted, but this new development has put a hold on that. Due to my previous issues IRL I was unable to fully appreciate the insane experience gains from the recent <strong>Alterac Valley</strong> battleground event. Given this new buff has no restrictions and can be used in every aspect of gaining experience, I&#8217;d think it&#8217;s fair to say this could be the best experience buff anyone&#8217;s experienced to date.</p>
<p>Now what will be interesting, is when <strong>The Darkmoon Faire</strong> visits with the carousel buff <a href="https://www.wowhead.com/spell=46668/whee"> <span class="tinyicontxt">WHEE!</span></a> , or interestingly, experience potions (<a class="q3 icontiny" href="https://www.wowhead.com/item=128312/elixir-of-the-rapid-mind"><img src="https://wow.zamimg.com/images/wow/icons/tiny/inv_alchemy_potion_03.gif" /> <span class="tinyicontxt">Elixir of the Rapid Mind</span></a> &amp; <a class="q1 icontiny" href="https://www.wowhead.com/item=120182/excess-potion-of-accelerated-learning"> <span class="tinyicontxt">Excess Potion of Accelerated Learning</span></a>) If these all stack too, then OMG!</p>
<p><strong>Wowhead</strong> has recently published a great article, that I&#8217;d urge you to read. It has guides on class leveling with everything you need to know, check it out <a href="https://www.wowhead.com/news=311697/blizzard-adds-100-player-experience-buff-through-april-20th-winds-of-wisdom" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>HERE</strong></a>.</p>
<p>To put how crazy this is into perspective, as of yesterday afternoon the <a href="https://wowtokenprices.com/EU"><strong>EU WoWToken</strong></a> was at <span style="color:#ffff00;">194,195g</span> as of this morning at 07:15 the token is sitting at <span style="color:#ffff00;">231,571g</span>!</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;d love to stay and chat further, but I&#8217;m going to do some leveling&#8230; I hope you&#8217;re taking part too.</p>
<p>Cya in Azeroth!</p>
