Seems to vary by class maybe? My paladin sees the Impact Tremor reward but a lock in my guild got the Shock Baton.

Shock Baton is a caster trinket, so its not surprising a melee wouldn't get it.

Anyway, just to make sure, the whole upgrade-your-legendary thing isn't active until Nighthold opens, right?

Do we know what it costs to upgrade a legendaru?

According to what the screencap I saw when I was trying to figure out where to go, it takes 50 remnants of Aman'thul from the Nighthold to get a "Distilled Titan Essence", which seems to act like the crystallized fel of WoD.

edit: And for the record, legendaries can go up to ilevel 925.

She smiles more than the real Varian ever did.



The leatherworking mount has magical powers, I guess.

Hah.

How long do you have to lasso the dumb thing? I lost it over the falls in western Stormheim and haven't bothered to try it since.

I can honestly say without hyperbole that it is the most awful quest in the game. The waterfall is about the halfway point and the point that will cause you to fail the most and then towards the end there are parts where you're going to fail because you can't possibly react to some of his movements without knowing where it is going ahead of time.

That quest is miserable.

Ugh, fun. Well I'll handle it again at some point. I'm not at 800 leatherworking anyway so can't make it right now so no rush.

Unrelated, an undocumented change Blizz made in 7.1 fixed a problem I was having. For some reason, buying the Nobleman/Woman clothes from the DMF in 7.0 only unlocked them for the characters of that armor class (for example, I bought the pants on my mage, the chest on my hunter, shoes on my paladin. My mage couldn't transmog the chest or shoes, my hunter couldn't transmog the pants, etc). Now it unlocks for all!

Now I can have my hunter be a dapper hunter.

Its a pity you can't transmog the monocle.

Funnily enough I have a Shock Baton from a while back that's an 830 on my paladin, guess I'll never get a chance at an upgrade though :-(

getting gold in the darkmoon races is impossible. its just way too unreliable

Most of the races (especially the long one) have shortcuts that are basically mandatory to get gold. You'll pretty much have to watch a video and learn where they are. I haven't bothered with most of them, I got the pet and one other and haven't worried about the toys.

Hm, guess maybe Paladins could count.

But yeah good luck with an upgrade.

On my priest, I have the hall perk that lets you get a random buff from either the shadow or light side of the hall. Being a shadow priest, I naturally go that way. Today's was some potion that prevents insanity draining for 10 minutes. I figured they meant naturally, right? Like, no way that'll work in void form.

Totally works in void form. Tints the whole world purple, and I have tentacles sprouting out of me for 10 minutes while I sit at 100 stacks of void form. This is the BEST.

(You also can't use this potion in dungeons, raids, and the like, so its only useful outside, but still, so cool)

Cool interview with one of the devs, answers a few questions on legendaries. More legendaries are coming (in 7.1.5 potentially?) and the rebalance of some of the weaker or undesired legs is also coming in 7.1.5.

I always enjoy these often overlooked interviews that come out of Blizzcon because they are 100x better than the shitty ass QA panel every year where a bunch of dudes just announce their RP title and ask some dumb shit for an hour.

Nice
 
So +10 is pretty fucking hard, guys

Depends a lot on the affixes and dungeon. For example we have Bolstering+Fortified in EU which makes something like Nelth Lair a hell to run on time but something like EoA you hardly even notice the Fortified boost due to the mobs being quite easy. The only hard mob pull is the 2 giants but that is skippable with ankh/combat res and supposedly it is possible to pull only 1 but I haven't seen that.

Then you have Tyrannical that makes EoA one of the hardest and Nelth Lair one of the easiest. It's a lot of RNG what key you happen to get for +10.

The one good thing about Fortified is that if you are just looking to get the end chest/weekly chest you can cheese pretty much any dungeon with CC. Tyrannical however can legit be impossible if people don't have the gear.

The first boss in Nelf's lair at +10 with Tyrannical requires a good bit of DPS. Ended the fight doing 540k DPS and our healer was pretty OOM by the end.

Other bosses were easy as hell, though.

Biggest mistake people make on that is that the DPS needs to be 100% on killing the adds. All other damage is manageable except if there are adds with ton of HP around when the boss crushes them.

I did nelth +10 last week with tyrannical in a pug, went pretty well, we even made in time, but we had a great tank, warrior with 4000k life

So for the shockbaton WQ, I just finished doing the questline where in the end you ride the dinosaur and go rampage in Suramar.

Anyone know how long it typically takes for a WQ to pop up once you did the questline to open it up? I want a shot at shockbaton (Enhancement here).

We were doing that but it was still a pretty long fight with a lot of damage going out. We only had one or two alive when he stomped.

So I did that quest like 3 weeks ago and only just had it popping up after the latest hotfix(where they reenabled some hidden WQs). So...hopefully tomorrow? Ill post if it shows up tomorrow again so you can check against that.

But yeah after I finished that quest, the WQ didnt show up for me until the latest hotfix. Hopwfully they were related and Im not jist unlucky

I was immediately offered the world quest upon finishing the first "release Su'esh" thing.

We did Arcway +10 (EU)
It was quite difficult cause there's a cluster of mobs everywhere and a lot of them hit hard and you also need to keep an eye on interrupts and stuns all the time. We ran our usual group but we switched roles so one our dps was healing on his shaman that is probably under-geared a bit for a +10, so it was kinda rough at times

We didn't make it in time, obviously ;p

Also.. some other rogue in my guild got his first legendary (second best, especially after the last Outlaw buffs) and then got his second one not an half hour later. He barely plays and got carried in HC EN. I am salty as fuck to be quite honest.

From reading the WoW reddit thread about it, seems like I have to do Thalyssra's Drawers then it'll appear.

awesome night. did a quick normal EN clear on my druid, 2 healing it with a friend (we usually 3 heal it but there was no third tonight), got a couple of 850s and a 860, then we did heroic nythendra for the first time, and then we called it because some people had to leave so we did a bit of kara and one shot the first 4 bosses and got another 860 :)

a mate also got the horse from attuman, good times, 857 now on the druid, no legendary tho ;_;

Shaman can get it, and it's actually a pretty damn good trinket even for Enhancement. Obviously better for Elemental since Crit is better for them and it procs a bit more often.

Did the Blizzcon QA touch upon the RNG of legendaries? My only 110 character wouldn't mind getting one.

Think I might get my Ratstallion before my Assassination hidden appearance drops :p
Is sightless eye farming still doable?

At least my realm, sewer pvp died down.
 

Haly

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
I wanted the PvP skin so now I'm grinding BGs.

Is it just me or is this pretty good for AP?
 
Finally, I decided for a shaman, a pandaren shaman.


EDIT: Holy cow the mission to get the fists is quite hard for a trial character gear
