Demon Hunter ([[Illidari]]) camps
will
appear
in [[Orgrimmar]] and [[Stormwind City]] with vendors. Invasions
will
occur as phased
scenarios
that have a related umbrella quest in parts of known zones around Azeroth (Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor only).
Doing
the scenarios will reward a new {{item|icon=|Nethershard}} currency, as well as a chance to get [[item level]] 685 - 700 gear. Vendors in the capitals and invasion zones will sell
better
gear for Nethershards.
