World of Warcraft Greatly Improves 20th Anniversary Celebration


# World of Warcraft Major Enhancements for 20th Anniversary Event: Earning Bronze Celebration Tokens Made Simpler

World of Warcraft (WoW) has established a reputation for its spectacular in-game celebrations, and the 20th anniversary event is no different. Kicking off on **October 22** and lasting until **January 6**, this event provides players with the opportunity to earn distinctive rewards by gathering **Bronze Celebration Tokens**. These tokens can be acquired through various weekly tasks and quests, functioning as the key currency for obtaining exclusive anniversary items, including updated Tier 2 sets and both new and returning anniversary-themed collectibles.

In an unexpected and appreciated update, Blizzard has **greatly enhanced the quantity of Bronze Celebration Tokens** players can earn from weekly activities throughout the event. Each source now rewards players with between **three and eight times** the previous amount of tokens, ensuring that players will readily amass all the rewards in the upcoming 10 weeks.

## The Event’s Initial Token Framework

At the outset of the event, players had the chance to earn roughly **61 Bronze Celebration Tokens** in the first week by completing the weekly objectives, which included event-specific quests and tasks from **The War Within Season 1**. Though this seemed reasonable, some players raised concerns that the gradual pace of token accumulation would hinder their ability to collect all the rewards without participating in content they might not find enjoyable, such as PvP or the new **Blackrock Depths raid**.

## A Significant Boost to Token Earning

With the arrival of the second week of the event, Blizzard has remarkably increased the number of Bronze Celebration Tokens players can gain from weekly activities. The new token amounts vary by activity, with some providing as much as **15 times** the previous total. Here’s a comparison of the updated and old token rewards for various tasks:

### Updated Bronze Celebration Token Rates for WoW’s 20th Anniversary Event

| **Activity** | **New Currency Reward** | **Old Currency Reward** |
|————–|————————-|————————-|
| Dornogal Weekly Quests (Worldsoul, Archive, Delve) | 10 Bronze Celebration Tokens | 2 Bronze Celebration Tokens |
| Bonus Holiday Quests (Timewalking, World Quests, Arena, Battleground, Dungeon, Delve) | 10 Bronze Celebration Tokens | 3 Bronze Celebration Tokens |
| Zone Activity Weeklies (Awakening the Machine, Spread the Light, Snuffling, Azj’Kahet Pacts, Theater Troupe) | 8 Bronze Celebration Tokens | 1 Bronze Celebration Token |
| Special Assignment World Quests (2/week) | 8 Bronze Celebration Tokens | 2 Bronze Celebration Tokens |
| 11.0 World Boss | 8 Bronze Celebration Tokens | 1 Bronze Celebration Token |
| Queen Ansurek (any difficulty) | 15 Bronze Celebration Tokens | 3 Bronze Celebration Tokens |
| Conquest/Rated PvP Weekly | 15 Bronze Celebration Tokens | 1 Bronze Celebration Token |
| Honor, War Mode, and Brawl Weeklies | 8 Bronze Celebration Tokens | 1-2 Bronze Celebration Tokens |

Thanks to these updates, players can now earn around **140 Bronze Celebration Tokens** weekly, excluding additional tokens from daily quests unlocked after reaching 100 tokens. Since players need only **375 Bronze Celebration Tokens** to acquire all the event rewards, even casual players should find it easy to collect everything they desire by the event’s conclusion.

## Community Responses: A Variety of Opinions

### Positive Reactions
The community generally responded positively to this enhancement. Many players are glad they can earn sufficient tokens without feeling compelled to engage in unwanted content. For instance, some players were reluctant to take part in PvP or the **Blackrock Depths raid**, but with the heightened token rates, they can focus on preferred content while still amassing enough tokens for all rewards.

This modification also eases worries regarding time limitations. With 10 weeks remaining in the event, players now have plenty of time to earn the required tokens without feeling pressured or overwhelmed.

### Criticism: Why Wasn’t This Done Earlier?
Nonetheless, not all feedback has been favorable. Some players express dissatisfaction that Blizzard failed to introduce these increased rates from the beginning. Numerous participants in the anniversary event on the **Public Test Realm (PTR)** voiced concerns about the slow token earning pace, yet the event initiated with the original, lower rates.

While this improvement is certainly welcomed, some players believe Blizzard could have sidestepped this issue by heeding feedback sooner. Regardless, most players concur that having the increased rates now is preferable to not having them at all during the event.

## What Lies Ahead for the 20th Anniversary Event?

With the rate of token acquisition significantly boosted, players can anticipate a more satisfying and rewarding experience as they engage in the 20th anniversary event. Whether a long-time player or a returning
