World of Warcraft Adding Thunderfury, Blessed Bow of the Windseeker in Patch 10.2.5
One of the new cosmetic additions coming in Seeds of Renewal appears to be a bow version of Thunderfury, in two different color schemes.Datamined by Wowhead from Patch 10.2.5’s PTR, the Blessed Bow of the Windseeker and Titan Thunderbow will offer Hunters the possibility to appreciate their classic legendary weapon in a new form. Though it remains to be seen howWorld of Warcraftplayers will be able to obtain the Thunderfury bow, it’s highly likely that both variants will end up on the Trading Post.
While the debut of theTrading Post feature inWorld of Warcrafthas given Blizzard the chance to offer cosmetics not tied to an expansion or raid tier, the reception in the community has been mixed. A common point of criticism has been its “flavor of the month” format, where the selection of purchasable cosmetics changes every month. Thankfully,World of Warcraftfans have seen many items return to the Trading Post rotation over its first year of existence, which bodes well for players who may have missed a cosmetic from its earlier months.
In addition to providing an epilogue toDragonflight’s story,Seeds of Renewal inWorld of Warcraftis also adding a new capital city for the Night Elves following the destruction of Teldrassil and Darnassus. It will launch on Jun 14, 2025, as Blizzard slowly set the stage forThe War Withinand the Worldsoul Saga.
