Like Hallow's End, it has some Draenor additions. There will be quests to earn tokens that you can use to decorate your Garrison, and I expect the Minion of Grumpus can drop from Grumpus on this quest.
It just might be... No size buffs in these screenshots - Gnome priest ontop.
It does.
Strafer why is that so funny????

One week left for Blizzard to start Legion alpha/beta (for non-streamers/friends etc.) if they want it out before the holidays.
Looking forward to it, I liked the update they did for Halloween this year. Especially cool that you can keep the decorations up as long as you want which means people can come to your garrison to capture the pets/kill the rare spawn.
We didn't kill Archimonde last night. Realm first dream probably dead since the other guild is going to add an extra night to try and beat us lol
Yeah it was neat. Wasn't too grindy, only had to do the dailies a few days to unlock everything

Yeah it's the kind of update I wish they'd do every year (or at least every expansion) for holidays. Don't really need a complete overhaul of an event, just add a few new things that isn't tied to the old stuff. My biggest complaint with holidays is that while they usually do add some new pets or toys it's generally been tied to already established currencies and shit.
Scrubs
People didn't watch that tutorial about pull timers, lots of early pulls
Yea it's pretty bland to collect currency X for the 5th year for some new items
250,000 honour kills achieved. Genuinely chuffed with that... I stopped playing in the summer of 2012, and when I came back towards the end of MoP, I had around 220k kills. It's taken me almost 2 years to get the last 30k, haha.
Anyway, as terrible as Warlords is, I do like Timewalking.

I stopped playing just before Halloween. You can still earn the new items even after the holiday is over?
You can't earn any of the currencies or anything, but the new quests they added this year let you decorate your garrison for Halloween part of which included 3 new pets that wander around your garrison (that you can capture) and added a rare spawn to your garrison that had a chance to drop a toy.
Those decorations are a toggle so you can turn them off/on whenever you want at a NPC even outside of the holiday, so if you go to someone's garrison that has it turned on you can still get those things.
Wait, what pets and which rare spawn?
I was on a WoW break for a couple of months this fall but visited a random Garrison today which still had Hallow's End decorations up but only picked up the Garrison Jones quest.
I have the purple proto drake from the meta and the mount from the headless horseman but haven't done anything else for a few years during Hallow's End.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
It would be awesome if they didn't have level restrictions. I've have badass level 10 warlocks running around all over.
Haha yeah. I don't know the setup for the Horde garrison but for Alliance the rare spawn is near the ashran tower/training dummies (his toy is not a 100% drop chance) and the pets are literally all over the place. There are 3 different ones but there are multiple running around your garrison at any given time (probably 10-15 of them so it's easy to get 3 of each).
Also worth mentioning all of the Halloween stuff was tied to a new daily quest hub this year and the mobs in that area dropped a toy called Coin of Many Faces. Those mobs are gone iirc but the toy was BOE and should be pretty cheap on most servers still since it was a fairly common drop.
you have to be swedish ;P

have they said if we can still collect plate transmogs if you cant equip them in the new transmog system? im not saying actually using them as transmog, just wanting to collect them if i loot them. would suck that everyone but plate can't collect plate, but plate can collect everything else.
also in regards to the quest rewards since they said they would give us all of those that we've done.

They have not confirmed one way or another yet in regards to plate stuff. Cross your fingers they aren't stingy about it.

wrong thread
According to MMOC forums, you can only unlock wardrobe models for the armor class of the character you're currently on (i.e., plate wearers can only unlock plate, cloth wearers can only unlock cloth, etc.). Subject to change, alpha, etc. etc.
Well, we'll be the god-kings of transmog weapon unlocks.
The monkey's paw is that's because your artifacts are ugly as sin
Interesting, didn't see that tweet (though it is recent and I haven't browsed them in a while so that's my defense). Wonder if that applies to quests. Drops I don't mind so much, but I don't want to go through most quest chains 5-6 times. There are a few transmog models that come only from one or two quests that are deep in a zone.
Yea, everything except wands. Thing I am wondering is if they don't let Warriors unlock daggers/bows/guns since they aren't things you will ever actually use. Though ranged weapons did used to have a use before Cata
Pretty sure if you complete a quest you unlock all the rewards, regardless

i see, so they're making it just 1:1. i suppose it gives you an incentive to collect on alts, but also not have to "worry" about collecting others if it isn't for your class
Works for me if that is the case, all I was worried about.
Yeah imo it would feel kinda bad if you played 3 toons mage, rogue, shaman and felt like you should make a warrior to unlock their xmog
davepoobond

yeah, the only alternative would be to unlock all collected items no matter your armor class/transmoggability
Literally translates to ''Worst when it matters/counts''.
Race changed my warrior to a male Troll, the Bladestorm animation is great.

I just turned my cloak into a re-usable parachute with a 1 min cooldown, I love engineering.
As a canadian, I feel like WoW is going to be the only game I'll be playing in the following months/years... When games cost 80$, and when price could increase further if our dollar crash even more, I'm thankful that the WoW token system exist. I can keep playing for free, without paying 20$ per month, with only having to worry about the expansions. Glad this game can still be fun to play even after 10 years.
Almost feel like the only other games i'll buy next year will be Mass Effect or Zelda... sigh.

Even with WoD being the way it is, there definitely are a lot worse games to be stuck with than good ol' WoW.
Did the five Timewalking dungeons on my mage, went from iLvl 580~ to 665 (threw a couple of crafted items ontop of the vendor/loots), and now find myself doing a lot of old content for mounts & legendaries... Can't believe how fast mages are at soloing pre-MoP content! Absolutely destroy my Paladin & Hunter in terms of DPS.

What spec are you playing? My frost mage only have an average ilvl of 685, but damn am I a monster in soloing old raids or Tanaan Jungle, even more so than my ret paladin with a similar ilvl.
Don't remember the last time I ever played an Arcane mage. And all I see in dungeons & LFR is Frost & Fire.
I'm also playing frost. Decided to go after the legendary staff, as I'm soloing for the Rag mount anyway, and I was clearing all just fine as Arcane until Majordomo (25HC)... Nope! Went frost, and with barrier, block (regen ice) > snap > block, I JUST about managed to beat him. Tempted to do some LFR for one or two pieces of Leech gear... Would make that fight a lot easier.
Frost has absolutely ludicrous burst damage for this kinda content. Being able to throw Icy Veins, Time Warp, Berserking, and the Timewalking trinket all into a single macro (while standing on a Rune of Power)... Amazing.
Oh well, no Invincible.

To be fair, that's pretty much every legendary since since Val'nyr ('cept Shadowmourne which had some cool [re:frustrating] quests). I suppose Fangs also had that stealth quest, but that was just repeated DS farming in the end, too.
Farming for the mount, so might as well do it along the way. That's how I ended up with three Val'nyr's before getting Mimiron's head, and while I'll end up with legendary daggers before getting all the DS mounts.
Plus, who knows! It might actually proc in a Timewalking dungeon... I know Shadowmourne & Val'nyr proc like mad.
Sandstone Drake. 50k from the AH (used to be 35k~), can probably do some farming yourself and get it for 30k~.
