Now, the ghostly good boy is finally becoming a pet that players can earn in bothClassicand retailWorld of Warcraft. The pet has two different models; a low-resolution one forWrath of the Lich King, and a high-fidelity counterpart forDragonflight. Arfus is also a battle pet of the Undead variety, so players can level him up and use him in thePokemon-like mini-game encounters throughoutWorld of Warcraft.
TheWrath of the Lich King Classicversion of Arfus is given to players who earn a new meta achievement for completing every Defense Protocol Gamma dungeon in the upcoming Fall of the Lich King update. The method for unlocking Arfus inDragonflightis tied to a Feat of Strength achievement fittingly called The Lick King. It seems the unlock will be associated with theHallow’s End holiday refresh inWorld of WarcraftPatch 10.2, but the exact further details are currently not known.
Fall of the Lich King is thefinal major patch and raid season forWrath of the Lich King Classic. There are some more minor patches, including the one that adds the Ruby Sanctum to the game, but the nostalgic servers are slowly reaching the end of the popular expansion pack’s life cycle. Players don’t know ifCataclysm Classic,Classic+, or something else is in store for them next, but they may find out during Blizzcon.
Dragonflight, on the other hand, is currently working on Patch 10.2, Guardians of the Dream. This major patch begins the third raid season ofDragonflightand is seemingly bringing an end toseveral majorWorld of Warcraftplot arcsat once. The existence ofDragonflightPatch 10.3 is in the air right now, but likeClassic,World of Warcraftplayers can expect to find out more at the upcoming convention.
