Ever since Blizzard replaced Challenge Modes with Mythic+ dungeons in Legion, there have been pools of affixes -- additional effects like Grievous or Storming that each add additional difficulty to the dungeon beyond just the baseline Mythic+ expectation of "everything has more hit points and hits harder." These affixes rotate on a weekly basis, and to keep it from getting stale, Blizzard changes things from season to season, rotating the available dungeon pool, tweaking existing affixes, and adding a seasonal affix which always appear at keystone level 10 and above.

Back in January when Wizards of the Coast backed off of Open Gaming License (OGL) updates to go with their new edition of Dungeons & Dragons, they also made a second decision that -- while popular -- hadn't seen as much fanfare as of yet: they released the current D&D rules as a System Reference Document, or SRD under a Creative Commons license.

Alongside working on the new Dungeons and Dragons Player's Handbook for the revised 5th edition of D&D next year -- yes, it's now referred to as "revised 5th edition," not "One D&D" or "6th Edition" or anything else --Wizards of the Coast is also working on revamping the Dungeon Master's Guide.

One of the most-hyped repeatable activities in patch 10.0.7 is the Zskera Vaults in the post-storm Forbidden Reach, a veritable trove of buried treasures left behind by Neltharion for us to uncover -- once we find some keys, of course.

So it's Dragonflight patch 10.0.7, and you've learned how to get to the Forbidden Reach, you've pored over the pets and mounts of the Reach, and you've learned both what and where the Zskera Vaults are, as well as how to get keys to sneak in and loot the place.

For connoisseurs of drake customization, there have been a lot of options for customizing the appearance of your four Dragonriding mounts so far in Dragonflight, and I do mean a lot: on top of making your mounts scalier or hairier, multitudes of colors, saddled or bareback, and with horns of every variety of swoop and turn imaginable, sometimes you can even just turn them into raid bosses (although without their stylish Christmas decorations).

While transmog enthusiasts in World of Warcraft really enjoy putting together stylish ensembles -- from mariachi outfits to the latest sets of tier armor, white and grey quality "ordinary" looks to flashy new looks Blizzard prepared especially for the Trading Post -- there's no denying that even when you're mixing and matching, there are some sets of gear out there that are just... ugly.

Not long after you set foot on the Forbidden Reach in Dragonflight's patch 10.0.7, you'll be introduced to the Zskera Vaults -- home to a variety of treasures that Neltharion stashed away beneath the earth, with the keys scattered all over the Reach for us to uncover.

If you're excited about exploring the Zskera Vaults in the post-storm Forbidden Reach in Dragonflight's patch 10.0.7, then you'll also probably be excited to know you won't have to wait very long to get there.

The Trading Post in World of Warcraft is an exciting new feature full of fun cosmetic gear, mounts, and pets, but no amount of Trader's Tenders (or Tendies, as the community has lovingly nicknamed them) is going to do you any good if you don't know where to go to pick up and spend your hard-earned tokens.
