NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo!!!
Nope. You can still buy them for Timeless Coins but SoO and the new world bosses have their own coin.

No, you get new ones now called Warforged seal which is good for the new world bosses and SoO. If you want the Mogu runes of fate you can buy them from a vendor at timeless isle for 2500 coins which is easy to get considering I have 10,000 from playing casually.
They'll probably be super easy to get now - I wish I had known about the BONUS ROUND on Thunder Isle and the old Elder coins earlier than two days ago.

I love Pokken!
So many skeletons...
Sadly its the most likely scenario at this point :< We'll find out sometime tonight I guess.
It's stupid lol, I spent 2 hours on the island and found 10 epic items in total.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
You don't even need your alt. You just wander around the island murdering random animals and they drop 496s that are BoA.

and ToT raiding ends with a twins HC kill (probably the easiest of the 8 I ended up with)
good thing my old guild feel apart lol, got into this new one and got in 3 weeks 5 new HC kills (for them too, so it's not like I joined a guild that already had shit on farm, they were on the same stage my old guild was when i left, well they killed iron quon hc, so 1 hc kill more, but we skipped that one this time around so overall the guild has 1 more than me ^^)
so looking good for 5.4 in a few hours ^^

I WANT SPOILERS
Someone, anyone, please kill Garosh
Anduin Wrynn taking up the Peacechief position
Yup, can also buy bags of coins when you hit honored Shaohao but it's 500 valor for 3500 coins. Also keep an eye out for events. I got a lot of coins doing the Zarhym quest in the cave to get spirit chests.

I think it takes a while to get honored with Shaohao though. Just killing every red nameplate on site seems effective, as does picking up any treasure boxes.

What isn't a huge gank fest on Emerald Dream?
That's the best part of the server. Except Warsong Battalion. They PvP like it's PvE.

So I heard you can upgrade those 496 items into something higher before you make the gear. How do you do that?

You need a Burden of Eternity, rare drop from mobs/chests. Gurnateed drop from the Blazing Chest

After being away from this game for over a year, I have finally decided to reactivate again. I'm actually pretty lost and don't know where to start. I have several characters at 90 and not sure where to begin to gear up for LFR's. Should I still be grinding heroic dungeons?
Awesome, just awesome. Blizzard's zone design and musicians really hit a HR with MoP.

Of what?
Go to the Timeless Isle and mindlessly murder everything until you have a lot of gear.
Seriously.
Speaking of which, I suspect that'll be a right pain to get after this expansion (much like the jumping through hoops to get the Halaa mounts). Mount hunters bear it in mind!
Runestones :/ Maybe I'm just unlucky though.

They didn't raise the drop rate at all. They just increased the number of people that drop it.
I imagine you'll see oQueue groups just trading off kills by then.

Timeless island on ragnaros is hell on earth lol.
Get a Burden of Eternity or whatever it's called.

Yep. Stepped in and was getting that also. Said fuck it and left after like two minutes :lol
Went and finished off my Hyjal dailies and got the Flameward Hippogryph instead. Finally!

Yeah, yeah, I know you've heard it all before, but the Timeless Isle is terrible.
It's not even the lag that bothers me so much as the concept. Everyone who was whining about dailies gets what they deserve. A scavenger hunt where you're forced to find things to do and compete with 900 other people doing the same thing!
Good times. *rolls eyes*
The sooner I get the rest of my coins and get the hell out of there, the better.

The server I x-ferred to is 4:1 Alliane: Horde. As a Horde, I can barely make it 10 steps before someone ganks me. Oh well, I'm still enjoying it for what it is.
I actually like it so far to be honest. Dunno how it will be in the long run of things, but, unless you use a guide or something there is actually a nice sense of discovery on the isle, finding all the weird events, having birds take me to strange locations, and some minor platforming. I am a pretty big fan of exploration and the isle has given me a good amount of that in the few hours I've spent there.
Besides, none of the important stuff on the isle is effected by how many people are around. Rare spawns work like they do on the isle of thunder, there is no competition with treasure chests, and anyone can do the events scattered around without interfering with anyone else. I don't really see what the problem is on that end outside of the usual 10 billion people server lag stuff.

Huh.
Either it's buggy (likely) or something else, because I helped repeatedly with rares and couldn't loot about half of them.
That dread pirate event is pretty okay for coins. Is that a random spawn?
And yeah, I guess the exploration stuff is kind of neat. I'm just someone who prefers structure, so going from the ability to just log in, take an hour or so to do what I need to do and then going to do something else to "Where the hell do I go to do things? Oh, here's an event---Just ended. Oh, there's a rare---Oh it's dead. Oh, these mobs drop coins too--- Already tagged!" is somewhat frustrating to me on a personal level.
th;dr The freeform style of the Timeless Isle isn't for me.
Anyone done any SoO stuff yet?

Thank god for PvE servers and that map with the chest locations, got my cloak on lock and DK near instantly.
Nah, they work like isle of thunder rares. You have to actually make sure it's a rare spawn though, there are a lot of just normal enemies on the isle that have mechanics similar to rare spawns, like that giant rock man that wanders around. I see people helping others kill him assuming he's special, but, in reality he is just an elite mob that doesn't serve much of a purpose outside of achievements and like 80 coins.
You've got a lot longer than 2 weeks before you get your legendary cape. Probably at least a month if you're lucky. But once you're caught up obtaining the cape is incredibly simple. All you have to do is get 5000 timeless coins and defeat each of the celestial bosses (once one is defeated the next one spawns within a minute or so). It's very quick.
Ooh, okay. Well nevermind then :lol
