NEW ZONE: SIREN ISLE

Siren Isle, once known to the Vrykul as Cyrandall, is a storm-lashed island steeped in mystery. During the Fourth War, the Ashvane Company mined its cliffs for Azerite, but when the war ended, its inhabitants vanished, leaving behind only the howling winds and the whispers of something ancient. 
Drawn by the power of a whispering crystal, the Earthen, Goblins, and Arathi have established competing expeditions across the island, while the Bloodwake Vrykul, Darktide Naga, and Bilge Rat Pirates fight to seize control of its ruins.

To unlock Siren Isle, start "A Sonf of Secrets", a short questline offered by Dawn in the Foundation Hall of Dornogal.

Travel between Khaz Algar and Siren Isle aboard the Princess's Pride zeppelin, captained by Sky-Captain Cableclamp, which becomes available after completing the introductory questline.
Finishing this introduction also unlocks a second route, the Mole Machine, stationed outside Gundargaz in the Ringing Deeps, providing quick passage to and from the isle.
 

But there's more to find on Siren Isle: 

• STORM PHASE
  The island itself shifts with the storm’s fury, alternating between Storm Inactive Phases with mob invasions and a Storm Active Phase.
  During the default Siren Isle phase, no storm is active. In this state, different groups of enemies invade the island, and these groups rotate weekly. The possible invasions include:
       · Naga invaders - weekly quest: Serpent's Wrath
       · Vrykul invaders - weekly quest: Legacy of the Vrykul
       · Pirate invaders - weekly quest: Tides of Greed
  
  Each week's invading faction brings its own rare enemies and unique objectives to the isle. However, most rare spawns and excavation sites remain consistent regardless of the active invasion.
  
  After completing the first weekly quest on Siren Isle mentioned above, you’ll be able to enter this special phase, where a massive storm is affecting the isle. During the Storm Phase, you won’t be able to fly due to the effects of Seafury Tempest, and different mobs will appear across the island. You'll also find additional quests, including a weekly quest, that can be completed. Keep in mind that once the weekly reset happens, you’ll need to unlock access to the Storm Phase again for the following week.
  
  This phase allows you to obtain the secret mount Thrayir, Eyes of the Siren, which is accessed during an active storm event while completing Special Assignments. To release him, you must gather 5 runekeys and match them to the corresponding runestones.

• FLAME-BLESSED IRON
  A new currency unique to the isle that can be used to trade for a variety of new rewards including mounts, pets, Warbound-Until-Equipped gear , transmog, and more! 
  
  This new currency will also be used to purchase Cyrce's Circlet Gems and help trigger a brand new event called Major Excavations.

• MAJOR EXCAVATIONS 
  A new public event that offer an opportunity to unearth treasures and recieve loot caches. You’ll learn more about this in the next section.

• FLY AND SIREN ISLE
  Normal fly won't be available on Siren Isle at launch,  but it will unlock in the coming weeks after players complete the necessary requirements. However, flying remains disabled during the Storm Phase.
  
  But there's another method that allows for limited flying on Siren Isle, the Experimental Go-Pack! These rockets propel you into the air and let you glide, giving you full control over your descent. 
  You’ll gain access to Go-Packs after completing the quest Peak Precision. You can purchase these rockets from Sally Boltwrench at Flotsam Shoal during the non-storm phase of Siren Isle. Each Go-Pack costs 10 Flame-Blessed Iron, lasts for 1 hour, and you can carry up to 10 at a time.

NEW PUBLIC EVENT: MAJOR EXCAVATIONS
 

A new public event takes place on Siren Isle, where three sealed caves each imprison a terrifying foe. These sites have drawn the attention of the Earthen, Goblins, and Arathi: the Earthen seek to study the strange energies radiating from Shuddering Hollow, the Goblins crave the riches hidden within The Drain, and the Arathi aim to destroy the menace lurking in The Drowned Lair.

Players can donate their Flame-Blessed Iron to their chosen faction to help each faction break into these caves and uncover what lies within. You’ll need 150 Flame-Blessed Iron to start a Major Excavation.
After the donation is completed, you’ll have a few minutes to reach the designated location before the explosives are deployed. Check your map to see the excavation’s exact position! When the countdown reaches zero, the cave will open, allowing you to enter.

Each excavation involves defeating a Rare Elite boss within the cave. For example, in The Drain, you'll encounter Gravesludge. Defeating the boss is essential for completing the excavation and unlocking its rewards.
After the rare is defeated, you’ll receive a Crate of Bygone Riches, which contains valuables such as Flame-Blessed Iron, Valorstones, crests, gems for Cyrce’s Circlet, and Veteran gear.

CYRCE'S CIRCLET
 

Cyrce's Circlet is a customizable ring obtained from “A Song of Secrets”, the main Siren Isle questline.

After completing the introductory quests to acquire your ring and learn how to use it, you’ll unlock a series of time-gated quests, each rewarding you with a Raw Singing Citrine. The ring starts at Item Level 642 and can be upgraded over six weeks to reach its maximum Item Level 658.
A catch-up system will allow players to obtain missed Raw Singing Citrines from previous weeks by completing the related quests.

The ring provides baseline Stamina and features three empty sockets that can be filled with gems found across the isle, each offering unique effects. There will be four gems available per color.
Once you have found a gem from its source, it will become available from the Siren Isle vendors.

• In the first Yellow Socket, you must insert a Singing Thunder Citrine.
• In the second Blue Socket, you must insert a Singing Sea Citrine.
• The third Pink Socket is intended for a Singing Wind Citrine.
