Plunderstorm is a limited time Battle Royale game mode for World of Warcraft. The only requirement to access it is an active World of Warcraft subscription. The game mode is separate from your existing characters, no gear or level catch up required, so it’s a great time to fly your Parrot into battle and earn some great rewards in Retail World of Warcraft and Wrath of the Lich King Classic.
The rewards available are unlocked by progressing through the Keg Leg's Crew Renown levels. There are 40 renown levels in total, with every level granting its own reward or rewards, including Transmog, Mounts, Traders Tender and Battle Pets. These rewards are unlocked in World of Warcraft and Wrath of the Lich King Classic, depending on the respective reward.
