Realistically speaking, if I'm attempting to make Hand of Rag, and I don't want to buy the hammer and just get the mats, but I don't BS/mine, how much of a pain am I looking into? I don't mind the grind, but I'm not sure how to get Dark Iron Bars unless I can buy them? Would hate to find someone and make them craft all those.

Might be a pain...

The only hard stuff I can see is this:

-Dark Iron Bars/Ore: You need 20 Bars, which is 160 Ore. On top of which, you kinda have to go out of your way to be able to smelt said Ore into Bars.
(Learning the skill requires doing a quest in BRD that needs other mats, then you can only smelt the stuff in BRD itself.)
If somebody puts them on the AH, you could buy them.

-Arcanite Bars: More importantly, Arcane Crystals. Thorium's super easy to get, but the Crystals can be a pain depending on how much people wanna put them on the AH for.
At least you only need ~50 compared to the 100 you need for Thunderfury...
(Find a Transmutation Master Alchemist for this one!)

-Blood of the Mountain: UGH. Yeah, these only drop from Molten Destroyers or VERY rarely from Dark Iron Deposits (I only ever got one from a Deposit, so it's super rare).
Best bet is to just go in MC, kill all the Destroyers, pop out and reset and repeat.
Usually goes for quite a bit of money on the AH.

Everything else you'll get eventually one way or another.

Thanks to a mate I'm now in beta. \o/
I'm ecstatic.

 

[Rösti]

and also for free (but random) here
http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/06/27/world-of-warcraft-warlords-of-draenor-beta-code-giveaway

Do I need an IGN account for this?

Edit: It appears non-prime members have to write a comment detailing why they "deserve" a beta key, and also have to fill in a survey. Well, I did that. Hopefully I can get a key.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Took awhile, but I finally got my Forager's Gloves! (again.) Got a timeless neck even before the gloves dropped. Gonna save that for my Rogue probably.

 

[Tamanon]

Looks like the Heart of the Valorous buff is on now, suddenly appeared on my server(Earthen Ring).

Dammit. Makes me with I saved my raiding till this weekend!

 

[Ultratech]

Yeah, I noticed it popped up while on my Druid this morning.

I was kinda like, "What the hell?"

Can't complain though.

 

[strafer]

wow, a whole midsummer without the Frost Scythe dropping.

I must have the worst luck in history.

No Scythe for me yet, but I got the Deathfrost enchant today!

Frostfire Ridge reminds me so much of Skyrim, doesn't help with the fact that Jeremy Soule is doing the music as he did the music for Skyrim too.

I love the snow, the sound of the wind and the howling of wolfs.

 

[Rösti]

I'm not an IGN Prime member so I couldn't participate in the main giveaway, but I filled out that survey. Haven't got a message yet though.

Shadowmoon valley reminds me of Cyrodil in Oblivion

Yep. Finally.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

Maybe it was just me, but I thought that the zones in Mists felt sort of dead, or otherwise empty, like they were really big but didn't have enough in them.

Can anyone in Beta comment on how the zones feel, perhaps compared to the zones of other expansions? I know you only really have access to three zones right now, but what are your thoughts so far?

From what I've seen of the art, I'm really digging the Draenor zones, but how something looks and how it plays can be completely different.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

40 minute Ahune queue? Fuck it. No scythe for my warlock this year.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Anyone on beta tell me if darker nights is in? I know Shadowmoon Valley in Draneor is, but I mean in old world. I miss the old days, when night time was actually night time. Its not dark enough on live.

They are working on it.

 

[RPGCrazied]

They are working on it.

Link? I remember they were experimenting with stormwind and orgimmar nights, but I didn't see a big difference.

I hope its not just another promise that won't come to fruition, but I hope they do try something. I say just make a faster day/night cycle. Final Fantasy 14 does this. WoW doesn't need a real time clock, either that or add an option in the video settings to use dark nights.

 

[strafer]

This would be awesome.

 

[RPGCrazied]

This would be awesome.

I remember when Duskwood was dark, not that dark, but way darker than it is now. Was fun getting surprised by stitches and running for my life. lol

 

[Anoregon]

This would be awesome.

Yeah man I hate when I am playing a video game and can actually see what's going on.

 

[LAUGHTREY]

This would be awesome.

These aren't them testing darker nights, this is a skybox bug from the SoO raid back when they were datamining that.

I find this a bit strange:

Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of the prize. CCI is not responsible for late, misdirected or damaged communication of any kind including computer failure. All decisions are final. The odds of a winning number being drawn are approximately 1 in 3000 (actual odds will be based on the number of entries).

I knew it was Jeremy Soule once I entered the zone.

So brilliant.

 

[Peachpies]

I find this a bit strange:

it would be a good way to deter people botting/fake account/multiple account if they actually do it, it might also just be something they have to say there for legal reasons and they wont actually do it

I hope its not just another promise that won't come to fruition, but I hope they do try something.

This is blizzard. Pretty much every cool thing they announced for WoD has been removed/altered/watered down.

Don't get your hopes up. It'll only hurt more.

That's awesome. The last minute or so is fantastic.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Heroic Spoils downed. 10/14.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I wonder if they ended up scrapping the Adventurer;s Guide. Considering we haven't heard a peep about it since BlizzCon I'm just going to assume it was thrown out. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

 

[Data West]

Thanks to guildies, I'm up to 3 yogg kills a week. Could probably do 4 on my shitty warrior, but idk.

 

[StayDead]

I'm not an IGN Prime member so I couldn't participate in the main giveaway, but I filled out that survey. Haven't got a message yet though.

Do you actually play like that or is it just for screenshot purposes?

pretty much everything that gets shown at a blizzcon ends up being scrapped

Timeless Isle offers so many opportunities to be a dick. I would usually kite the northwestern fire elementals over to the hub in the center and watch them unleash mass aoe destruction on all the AFK players.

Sounds like a pain. Mainly because I don't have a miner/BS on my Shaman's server. Guess I'll just stick with BT runs on my monk and Sunwell on my hunter.

I play like that.
