Anyone know how to get to the stoneplow quests in valley of the four winds? I've done every quest there except the quest chain to kill the colossus.

Its really bugging the hell out of me. No pun

It actually starts in Krasarang Wilds. Since both zones are really just one with an artificial region barrier, it acts as the finale for both.

So I was able to hit an iLevel of 437 last night, so I can start running Heroics.

To get to raiding level, do I need to get to 460 or 463 (I'm at work and sites are conflicting on this). I'm a Frost DK.

Also, besides my iLevel, what else do I need to get ready for raiding? My JC and Mining are only in 2/300s right now, but I'm working on them.

Thanks!

LFR's minimum ilevel is 460, but there's something wonky about your character sheet not correctly displaying your average ilevel so you wind up needing 461 or 462 to queue.

The only thing you need to get ready for raiding is to watch the fatboss videos on the boss encounters. If you are tanking, I suggest reading the Tankspot guides. Most important is learning how to communicate with your offtank for taunts and positioning.

Edit: Now that I've read some of the tankspot guides on raids, I see a lot of important omissions and things they just get plain wrong. For help with individual encounters, stick to youtube guides or just ask the people here.

Don't forget gems and enchants. Nothing screams unprepared for a raid better than seeing someone who have an empty gem socket or something that isn't enchanted.

Don't forget to look at what glyphs and talents will help you the most, sadly i don't know much about DKs.

Yeah, jesus. Right in the middle of my lunch break too.

 

[Fularu]

MG is up!

Edit : World server down

That lasted 25 minutes.

I rushed 2 alts to 89.5, then realized I can't run LFR anyways coz 460 isn't that easy, lol is on me

Arghhh I figured it would. Do you know if the last quest chain gives shado-pan rep?

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Whelp, I'm gonna quit. None of my friends are playing anymore. Ran lfr enough times to enjoy the new bosses and strat (that's watered down). I don't even care what stats my gear have just as long as its dps and can get me to 470. Currently using two stam trinkets from brewest, something I never would have done in the past. I'm essentially just doing dailies 95% of the time.

 

[Berordn]

I honestly don't remember, but I don't think it does. Still, it's a pretty fantastic finale so it's worth doing at some point.

My server went down first, so I didn't see it up for a lot longer.

So much for rolling restarts.

it's 6/16 bosses ^^

That's why I want to focus on PVP.

I can get the content from LFR. Raid a bit from time to time, and focus on PVP.

All you have to do is run a ton of piss-easy heroics until 463s rain down from on high

See ya next expansion!

 

[Tarazet]

So what do folks think about Mione soloing SPM challenge mode? He got all the way to the last boss!

It's not like anyone will get medals doing it this way, but it's certainly one of the more impressive feats of skill I've seen.

 

[Draxal]

Ghostcrawler has just said there are no bat mounts because the model for bats is bad and needs updating. So what's the excuse for the fucking atrocious wyvern mounts, I wonder?

Just saw that! Haha, LIKE A BOSS.

Man, those look great!

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Looks ugly to me.

I wish I still had my Armorless White Horse. Gandalf style.

 

[The Lamonster]

No way. Those look great. How bout we just update everything from vanilla?

[Gentleman Jack]

The gryphon wings look like they're made out of folded paper. Yuck.

 

[eudaemonic]

No way... I love those. I still wanna keep my old mounts though. I hope they just discontinue the old model and let you have both.

 

[Robin64]

Bunch of new pets in the new PTR patch..

But also a new achievement, "Classic Raid Collector (New) - Collect all of the battle pets listed below."

Well, looking at the pets, each one seems to correspond to a raid, all the way from Molten Core. Interesting!

 

[Enosh]

wyvern looks better imo
damn horde bias!

I hope these are caught inside raids, and not just drops!

There should be a raid boss that has adds that damage you, but can only be killed with pet battle.

 

[B-Dubs]

That would be pretty cool, but make him an extra boss with so-so loot otherwise everyone will flip their shit.

Defeat Garrosh in a Pokemon battle.

It will be glorious!

The title "the Beloved" requires 60 exalted factions down from 70.

Hey, another reason to run those old raids now!

Judging from the looks of it, I'm guessing they're dropped from the respective bosses they're referring to?

I'm also guessing the Wyvern/Gryphon mounts are for the Horde/Alli factions in Karasarang?

 

[Angry Grimace]

If you kill Bigglesworth, Kel'thuzad won't drop the pet. And casts ice block more often.

 

[suzu]

The wyvern and gryphon mounts look sweet.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

I will remember you.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

The old Wyvern mounts look superior, and that's not saying much.

That's the stupidest shit I've ever see. Large horns and a scorpion tail.

The original wyverns already have a scorpion tail though.

I wonder why they don't simply make it an actual wyvern (dragon's head, reptilian body, two legs and a barbed tail). Apart from the barbed tail, it looks nothing like a wyvern but more like some kind of mishmash someone has created in a drunken stupor. The gryphon looks good, though it features no lion's tail (that I can see anyway).

This thread is now MMOC.

Check out its tail in the video of these guys.

Holy fuck, it's about time. The Horde mount was literally the worst thing WoW.

What gives!? I have like 4 items ilvl 442 that are better than the heroic drops with ilvl 463!!!

Anyone else stop to admire the chicken with a ukulele in Mistfall Village? Didn't see him till I went in to grab my candy bucket. Kinda made me sad he's not target-able. Or a pet I can own.

 

[knicks]

This RBG requirement for conquest points is a disaster....They could have just increased the amount needed for armor pieces and that is it.

 

[Entropia]

Been like that for awhile, they want actual PvPers to do BGs. By which I mean, none of this "omg anyone wanna 2v2 on a monday night for points" garbage.

I'd say that it means that people aren't FOTM'ing their way to Conquest Points, but RBGs can be just as bad with specific group comps lol

I completely understand, but it is unbelievably difficult to get into an RBG, let alone one that consists of a competent group of players...If you kept the cap at 1650 through just plain arenas and battlegrounds but increased every piece by 200 points instead of 100 it would essentially do the exact same thing, though it would silence the complaining and not put a hold to getting the cap that has always been there.

I kinda felt like people are getting cheated off not getting points....I am at 3/5 of malevolent already and have a 1670 arena rating, but I am still losing out on points...I am an arms warrior, nobody wants me for an RBG.
