A Thrilling Adventure

Hardcore Trials

Hardcore Trials bring your nostalgic adventures into a new age. Inspired by Hardcore WoW, trials are curated sets of epic rules and challenges that add danger and excitement to your adventure. If you survive, you’ll earn stylish rewards that show off your skill. Fail, and your character is dead forever.

Test your grit against the Trials of Azeroth. Face challenges like Survivalist’s Guild, where you have to survive a Thirst and Hunger meter and can long gain experience by crafting. Or, try Pair in the Lair: where you’ll attempt to overcome every Classic dungeon and slay each boss with only your leveling partner.

Your Trial, Your Way

Three Styles of Trials

Every Hardcore Trial on Ascension has unique ways to tackle it: the traditional Hardcore experience where you can group with other Hardcore players, or as one of three unique custom game modes. Each adds danger and excitement to your adventure. Find your favorite, and step into the world.

Ironman

Single life, no outside help: you’re self-made, and alone.
