The Blackrock Foundry raid was opened in February 2015. The garrison is assembled from the individual buildings like stables or armories, increasing their size and modifying their appearance. Players are able to build and upgrade their own garrison, a personal area in which they can recruit non-player characters (NPC) to carry out missions to earn the player or NPC experience and items.

The easiest is 25-player raid finder (or "Looking For Raid"), and flexible raiding was expanded to include normal and heroic difficulty, allowing groups to range from 10 to 30 players, with the enemies scaling dynamically depending on the raid size. There was also a rebalancing of raid difficulty by the addition of a new difficulty called Mythic, which became the hardest version of the raid system that requires exactly 20 players. It initially included eight 5-man dungeons and one raid, Highmaul, that opened in early December 2014. The expansion allows players to level up to 100, an increase from the cap of 90 in the previous expansion Mists of Pandaria.
