Molten Core Overview & Loot Guide — Season of Discovery

The temperature rises with the release of Molten Core on July 25, at 1:00 pm PDT / 22:00 CEST. Season of Discovery is presented with a unique challenge, as a new “Heat” mechanic is introduced in the Molten Core, which is not to be taken lightly.

When you first zone into Molten Core, speak with a Hydraxian Waterlords NPC at the entrance to choose one of three different Heat levels—Sweltering, Blistering, or Molten—with an increase in difficulty at each level.

If things get too hot to handle, you can swap Heat levels anytime. Simply speak with the NPC at the entrance to the Molten Core while not in combat. You will also have another opportunity to swap Heat level again with NPCs that spawn after using Aqual Quintessence to douse boss runes.

• Sweltering Heat – Level 1
  • The easiest of the three modes is designed to be approachable to almost all groups. Sweltering Heat is for those visiting the Molten Core who are less prepared to handle the Heat—fewer consumables, fewer fire resist buffs, etc.
• Blistering Heat – Level 2
  • A normal mode that requires more coordination and basic preparation. For those who have a moderate amount of consumables, enchants, buffs, nominal fire resistance, etc., Blistering Heat should be a breeze.
  • Gear rewards for Blistering Heat are the same as Sweltering Heat, with an additional drop for most bosses.
  • Recommended Fire Resistance: +96 or higher
• Molten Heat – Level 3
  • The Heat turns up in Molten Heat for skilled groups prepared to face the fire.
  • The rewards for Molten Heat are the same as Blistering Heat, with a few additional items available from later in the Raid, along with unique weapon cosmetics.
  • Recommended Fire Resistance: +226 or higher
