What is an Arena Skirmish?
Arena Skirmishes is a form of unranked PvP arena. You can queue with 1 or 2 party members, or by yourself and be matched up with others.
Your PvP ratings are not affected by wins and losses in Skirmishes
You can start doing Arena Skirmishes at level 15, with a new bracket every 10 levels.
Arena Skirmish Rewards
Winning a skirmish rewards
and can randomly grant extra gold, additional Honor,
, Honor PvP gear, or Conquest PvP gear. Skirmishes grant XP in addition to Honor if you are not at max level.
Queuing for Arena Skirmishes
Open the Group Finder panel and click on the Player vs. Player tab at the bottom.
Select your role at the top
Select either 2v2 or 3v3 Arena Skirmish from this window
Click on the "Join Battle" button (or "Join as Group" if you are queuing with friends.)
6.2.2 Bonus Events Date Change
Speaking of Bonus Weekends, it's a good reminder that in 6.2.2, which is targeted for September 1st, that
Bonus Events will begin on Wednesdays, not Fridays
. You can see a complete upcoming adjusted schedule on our
PTR Recurring World Events Page
.
The new holiday that likely starts on Wednesday is

Timewarped Badge Cost Changes and Quests
As you may remember from our earlier coverage, there are new vanity items purchasable during Timewalking weekends with the new currency
Timewarped Badge
, such as
Bridle of the Ironbound Wraithcharger
. The prices of these items was exorbitant, and they have been lowered in a recent build. Here are some examples:
Reins of the Eclipse Dragonhawk
: 5k, down from 50k
Commendation of the Cenarion Expedition
: 50, down from 500
Ever-Shifting Mirror
: 500, down from 20k
Mark of the Ashtongue

Check out all the updates on our
Timewarped Badge
currency page, or our
Timewalking Guide
.
In addition, there are new quests in the data that suggest you can supplement your Timewarped badge gains. These are weekly quests, so can only be completed once per event:
