If you're looking for a boost to your reputation and experience in World of Warcraft, we've got everything you need to know about the Welcome to Sanctuary event - including its end date.

Diablo 4's release has come and gone, and there have been two major crossover events in World of Warcraft, allowing players to get mounts, pets and transmogs.

That's not all, though, as players can now also get an experience and reputation buff with the latest Welcome to Sanctuary event in World of Warcraft. Here is everything you need to know about the in-game event.

When does the Welcome to Sanctuary event start and end?

World of Warcraft's 'Welcome to Sanctuary' event is less interactive than 'A Greedy Emissary', adding a passive effect that you can get from June 15, 2023, at 10 AM to July 11, 2023, at 10:00 AM.

Luckily, for this event players won’t have to do anything in order to get access to the reputation and experience buff.

Once you’ve had time in Sanctuary, you can return to Azeroth and get a buff named Winds of Sanctuary, which is described in-game as "Strange winds blow in from another world, and heroes are filled with renewed vigor. Characters gain increased experience and reputation during this event."

The 'Winds of Sanctuary' buff in WoW gives a 50% buff to experience and an 8% buff to reputation except for the Loamm Niffen. Unfortunately, the previous event, 'A Greedy Emissary' is now over, so you will no longer be able to get the pets, mounts and other cosmetics that were available during that event. 

That is everything you need to know about the Welcome to Sanctuary crossover event in World of Warcraft.
