WoW Classic SoD information potentially leaked by dataminers: World Buff, new Skill Books, Profession items, and more

Some interesting WoW Classic SoD information has come up for Phase 2, according to Wowhead’s datamining. This includes a World Buff, Profession items – materials and potentially crafted gear items, and Skill Books that will drop in dungeons. Some of this has already been confirmed by Blizzard Entertainment in a recent post, but the datamining goes beyond what we already know right now.

Since this comes from datamining and leaks, it must be taken with a grain of salt. Such information found in the game could be tested data that has been rejected or content that might come into the game later. While this is potentially spoiler material, we’ll cover what we’ve seen so far.

WoW Classic SoD leaks reveal new World Buff for Phase 2

While Blizzard confirmed there is a new WoW Classic SoD World Buff, alongside some changes to how these powerful enhancements work in the game, the next World Buff has been potentially revealed via data mining.

This particular WoW Classic SoD World Buff appears to come from Gnomeregan, which fits, considering its name and what it does. The upcoming 10-man, six-boss raid will feature a wealth of interesting encounters and at least one new boss.

However, somewhere in the raid, players will reportedly unlock Spark of Crazed Inspiration. While we don’t know how it unlocks, we do know what it appears to do:

• Spark of Crazed Inspiration: Increases critical strike chance of spells by 4%, grants 42 spell damage and healing, and increases melee attack, ranged attack, and movement speed by 20%. 120-minute duration.
