Buy new heirlooms for flight paths and scaling heirlooms to 110 from Estelle Gendry in Undercity or Krom Stoutarm in Ironforge.

Work on the new Deaths of Chromie Scenario which starts from Khadgar in Dalaran.

Read up on the Class Changes and new legendaries so you understand any changes to your spec.

Upgrade crafted gear to ilvl 900 via Obliterum.

If you are a rogue that is level 100 or higher, visit Griftah in the Class Hall to start a new pickpocketing questline.

If you like pet battling and have completed the Wailing Caverns challenge, head to Deadmines for a new Pet Battle Challenge.

The following achievements will no longer be obtainable when Tomb of Sargeras opens, on June 20th: Ahead of the Curve: Helya, Cutting Edge: Helya, Ahead of the Curve: Gul'dan, Cutting Edge: Gul'dan. Check out our Helya and Gul'dan strategy guides by FatbossTV if you need any help defeating these encounters. Blizzard has confirmed Gul'dan should not feel harder in 7.2.5.

Stockpile Seals of Broken Fate for Tomb of Sargeras. You can earn 3 Seal of Broken Fate per week via quests, and a chance at several more if the right bonus is up on the Nether Disruptor.

Keep farming Warglaives of Azzinoth on any character, so your Demon Hunter unlocks the Arsenal: The Warglaives of Azzinoth transmog when any character clears Timewalking Black Temple.

The Shoe Shine Kit toy is fixed in 7.2.5 and spawns Saturday night to Sunday morning at 00:00 Server Time, so June 17-18 is the first time to attempt to get the toy.

Tomb of Sargeras Normal and Heroic opens on June 20th. Check out our Tomb of Sargeras Survival Guide and stay tuned for our boss guides by FatbossTV.

The Midsummer Fire Festival starts on June 21st. New items will be available to purchase like Set of Matches and Igneous Flameling, and bonfires have been added to Draenor and the Broken Isles.

Blight Boar is a new mini-game added to the Darkmoon Faire which rewards fun items like Necromedes, the Death Resonator. The Darkmoon Faire is next in town on July 2nd.

Black Temple Timewalking is accessible during the week of Outland Timewalking, which is next available July 11th. Run this instance for ilvl 900 loot and Arsenal: The Warglaives of Azzinoth transmog for Demon Hunters.

The Auction House Dance Party micro holiday is scheduled for July 22nd; the Auction Houses in Stormwind and Orgrimmar have been converted into dance studios and you can show off your moves.

The Trial of Style Transmog Competition takes place from August 17 - 21st; you have two minutes to create an outfit around a specified theme. You can buy some transmog sets with the competition prize tokens; these resemble Burning Crusade dungeon sets.

Pirate's Day, on September 19th has a new toy--Jolly Roger.

The Great Gnomeregan Run, inspired by the Running of the Gnomes annual charity event, takes place on October 14th. Roll a level 1 gnome and run from Gnomeregan to Booty Bay!

The Moonkin Festival micro holiday is scheduled for November 12th; save adorable baby moonkin in Moonglade, learn to speak Moonkin, and gain temporary fluffy companions.

Classic World Boss Timewalking, which allows players to fight Green Dragons, Azuregos, and Kazzak in The Originals, does not have a scheduled date. We've speculated it could be related to WoW's anniversary. These bosses drop prized transmog items, no longer available, like Strangely Glyphed Legplates, Nightmare Blade, and Typhoon.
