Warcraft’s Ragnaros may be a flaming, wrathful firelord, but even he knows the importance of downtime and self-care. Though his workdays are grueling, with millennia-long commutes between his scorching abode and Azeroth, he always clocks in on time to set entire regions (and their unlucky inhabitants) ablaze. After all, mountain ranges don’t melt themselves!  

Currently hosting a fun Midsummer Fire Festival, Ragnaros reminds you to take time for yourself and recuperate when you can. He understands that spa nights and face masks aren’t for everyone – his skin is already glowing — so he offers a collection of alternatives. And he’s not the only one: There are plenty of updates and events across Battle.net that can set you up for a cozy night in.  

Every few weeks, we sample some of the limited-time highlights, upcoming events, and other “don’t miss” occasions to help you hit important dates and maximize each in-game moment.
