Summary
- The Winds of Mysterious Fortune event was listed on the World of Warcraft public test realms.

- Information on the public test realms is subject to change before launch.
The popular Winds of Mysterious Fortune may return soon to World of Warcraft, according to data discovered on the public test realm (PTR) for the upcoming Patch 11.1.7. The World of Warcraft PTR discovery indicated that players could see Winds of Mysterious Fortune return during the summer, though the potential dates are subject to change.
The Winds of Mysterious Fortune is a recurring event that allows World of Warcraft players to quickly level up alternate characters and gain reputation points with various factions. Following the launch of the Nightfall update, World of Warcraft brought back Winds of Mysterious Fortune for the first four weeks of the Patch 11.1.5 cycle, from April 22 to May 20. The Winds of Mysterious Fortune grants a 20% boost to experience points gained, along with a 100% to 200% boost to reputation points toward most factions in Dragonflight and The War Within. These satchels contain experience potions, gear, and other nifty items.
World of Warcraft Reveals June 2025 Trading Post Rewards
World of Warcraft pulls back the curtain on the June 2025 Trading Post offers, with some fire-based rewards for players to pick from.
While the return of Horrific Visions saw the end of the Winds of Mysterious Fortune event, World of Warcraft players may not have to wait long for the experience point boost to come back. According to Wowhead, the latest PTR build of Patch 11.1.7 had Winds of Mysterious Fortune listed on the in-game calendar, with a tentative window of July 17 to August 14. Should these dates make it to live servers, the Winds of Mysterious Fortune would fill in the gap between the Midsummer Fire Festival and Brewfest holidays.
World of Warcraft Could Bring Back the Winds of Mysterious Fortune This Summer
The potential return of the Winds of Mysterious Fortune experience boost would arrive less than two months after the previous window. Furthermore, it could line up with the planned return of the Turbulent Timeways event, which would give World of Warcraft players more ways to level up characters quickly.
Although there is no precise date for when Patch 11.1.7 will go live, the World of Warcraft 2025 roadmap indicates that it will launch sometime in the late spring to early summer. Additionally, calendar events on the PTR do not always make it to live servers, so players should temper their expectations. However, Patch 11.1.7 will include additional story content focused on uncovering the mysterious past of Xal'atahth, The War Within's main antagonist.
Between Battle for Azeroth Timewalking and the potential for the Winds of Mysterious Fortune event to return, World of Warcraft's 11.1.7 update will provide a major opportunity to get alternate characters to level 80. Only time will tell if the PTR dates line up with what will happen when Patch 11.1.7 goes live.
