I've taken a break and now im lost

Hey, so I’ve taken a break for about 1.5-2 months. I was fully in the zone, really invested in TWW from launch and keeping up with item levels. I was doing weekly raids with a guild (which has since disbanded since I stopped playing), and we had just reached heroics and started doing keys. My item level is 603.

Now that I’m back, I feel totally lost again—it’s like I’ve been gone for 6 months, even though it’s only been a couple of months. Life got pretty hectic, and it honestly feels like I’ve data-dumped everything. When I returned for TWW, i felt like i basically had to re-learn the game and understand how to play 'cause it had been so long, it feels like that again.

Am I basically going to have to start from scratch, or has much actually changed? Should I just pick up where I left off, doing the same things I was doing before I stopped? And is the upcoming patch going to reset everything?

The only thing I feel that has changed in your time that you’ve given is the implementation of the 20th anniversary event which lasts until early January I think.

As Korrsica said, nothing has changed at all.

You can pop out to Caverns of Time for a few light extra activities for the 20th Anniversary if you want - there are some cosmetics available if you’re interested - but those are optional.

Grab onto some Guild or Discord that are doing Raids and Mythic-Plus and carry on as you were.

The next patch won’t reset anything, exactly. There is no raid with it. There should be some catch-up gear, and apparently there is a gimmick 639 Ring that can be earned, but it won’t interfere with you. And that’ll probably be January anyhow.
