Posted Nov 20, 2017 (Patch 7.3.2)GETTING STARTED:
Login to your character. For the duration of the event, characters that login earn the Feat of Strength achievement
WoW's 13th Anniversary. You will also notice that you have mail, so head on over to a mailbox to pick up the 
Anniversary Gift.
Opening the gift box will give you 200
Timewarped Badge , 
Celebration Package , and A Slightly More Urgent Letter from the Timewalkers. The letter starts the quest Interesting Times, which will direct you to meet, depending on your faction, Historian Llore at the Royal Library in Stormwind City or Historian Ju'pa in the Valley of Spirits (bordering the Goblin Slums) in Orgrimmar.
Now that you've met up with your local Timewalker, you'll immediately notice that they are offering a daily quest -- A Time to Reflect -- to quiz you on your knowledge of Warcraft history. If you are at least level 60, you'll also notice that they are offering a second daily quest, The Originals, but we'll get to that later.
Historian Llore and Historian Ju'pa are not only quest givers, but also vendors offering goods for current and past Anniversary events. Items that are new to this year's Anniversary event are the following:
The sunglasses cost 200 Timewarped Badges (TWB), the Celebration Wands cost 25 each, and the costume costs 50. Now if you recall, you got 200 TWB just by looting the gift box earlier, so use it to buy the sunglasses first. You can work on buying the other items afterwards via the daily quest(s).
THE MAIN COURSE:
This year's anniversary features the return of world bosses from the classic days of World of Warcraft:
Remember that daily quest I mentioned we'd get back to? This is it! Pick it up now so that after you've killed Azuregos, Lord Kazzak, and a Nightmare Dragon, you can then turn "The Originals" in for 50 TWB and a hefty amount of experience (or 77g 60s at level 110). Keep on reading for possible ways on how to reach your quest mobs!
Azuregos: Easy enough for Horde players to travel to since he's not all that far from Orgrimmar. Same with Taerar. Alliance players can make use of the portal to Mount Hyjal at the Eastern Earthshrine in Stormwind City, but please note that you'll have to be at least level 80 to use it.
Lord Kazzak: Both factions can make use of the Blasted Lands portals to reach him, assuming that you're level 58+. Horde players can find theirs in the Cleft of Shadow in Orgrimmar, while Alliance players can find theirs at the entryway to the Wizard's Sanctum in the Mage Quarter of Stormwind City. And if Emeriss is up for the day, it doesn't take all that long to fly to Duskwood for either faction. Need to return to your capital city, though? Just head back to where you first came from.
Lethon: Both factions can just use their
Dalaran Hearthstone and then take the neutral portal to the Dalaran Crater in Hillsbrad Foothills (don't worry about the fall damage; you won't die). You must either be at least level 98 and have completed In the Blink of an Eye, or you can group with a friendly mage player that has learned 
Portal: Dalaran - Broken Isles.
Ysondre: Probably takes the most travel time to reach out of all the bosses for both factions. Horde players can take a sanctuary-based portal to Thunder Bluff and then fly on their own to Dream Bough. Alliance can use their
Hearthstone to return to Shrine of Seven Stars in Pandaria, take the portal to Dalaran in Northrend, and then use the portal to the Caverns of Time in the Violet Citadel. (All of which is assuming you're either at least level 90 or had help from a mage friend.)
BOSS NOTES:
You can also use your
Seal of Broken Fate for an additional chance at loot. If the roll fails, you'll receive a 
Depleted Azsharan Seal. (Previously rewarded some gold on fail, which was stealth hotfixed the same day the event began.)LOOT NOTES:
While most of their loot items were reused appearances from other items, there are some that were considered unique and never replaced when their respective sources were removed from the game. This makes the bosses particularly desirable for transmogrification collectors.
Please note that some loot is only available from a particular boss. Additionally, the loot tables don't entirely match up with their classic counterparts.
WEAPONS:
ARMOR:
11/17/2018: Updated to reflect post-Legion status.
Edit: Added mention of restriction for the sunglasses.
