time to bring 500 sheens of zanza with me everywhere - you'll never cast on me again

Good luck, they're unique.

[Norseric]

What is the classic drop rate for nightfins?

[Lasershadow]

So when does Midsummer Festival end since it is extended?

[Retcon]

"Jordan's Ore Shipment and Jordan's Refined Ore Shipment is now indestructible"

I reported this *yesterday* and was told no one had reported this issue before. I could never dream of Blizzard having this quality in bug fixes.

I mean… that speaks volumes about the 7,100+ players on the server, now doesn't it? d:

they do I was just memeing, you still get the same rep for buying a zanza as using the token so why not get a ton

[Krasurka]

great patch, pig kidneys cost 2 gold, now cost 30 gold. I think it's great for the server economy

[Geojak]

i think what we need is some alternative consumables to blasted lands from abandoned gijim and lapidis ilands. no idea what, but i havent been there in a year, because why would i?

[Ingameacc12345]

Blasted Lands quests were hard to do while levelling already, with all high level players camping the spawn points of helboars and condors. This change will make them nigh impossible to complete.

I hate that going after Korrak is so looked down upon but I'd argue it's less his hp that is the problem and more his damage. He two-shots my rogue (granted, never tried with a tank). The Alliance especially has no excuse. After killing Galv the group should run over, kill Korrak in all of five seconds, and still win the base race with the Horde. But with a little more gold and maybe some gear. On a related note, it doesn't help that the devs are being coy with what the ritual dagger actually does.

[Kairion]

Havwnt tried him in a long time but korrak in its first form hit considerably harder than drek'thar or bronzebeard. He is in a more contested location and frankly, the rewards for killing him are just not worth the trouble. The buff is whatever but expires on death and the loot is a bunch of crap everybody needs on anyway. Replace his loot with 500 bonus honor and he will get killed every time

Oh god. I've never quested there while leveling, but at 60 I wanted a Lesser Arcanum of Rumination which requires 1 Gizzard Gum. Farming the vultures was absolutely miserable, I even had to return on a different day because I couldn't get 10 Vulture Gizzards within a reasonable timeframe. And that's at 60 with epic riding, I can't imagine how bad it would be at appropriate level. One of the worst quests I've ever done on TWoW with how bad the drop rate is, how few spawn points there are, how many items the quest requires and how camped the mobs are.

On a related note, it doesn't help that the devs are being coy with what the ritual dagger actually does.

I still don't know and I've done the quest months ago. I got the "permanent combat" bug meaning I couldn't teleport back for the turn-in and died, losing the blood debuff. Then I turned in for the now useless dagger, which I eventually ended up deleting.

I tested it recently. If you have the Blood of Korrak debuff and use the dagger, it kills your character and spawns a hostile Korrak wherever you are. So basically you can sic Korrak on the enemy in their base (but you know, he can come after you too).

[Oothe]

I had just heard about being able to trade White and Grey transmogged items and thought it was a neat tradeoff - cool looking characters without stats. But it makes sense, as unfortunate as it is.

[Ninetyone]

do the blasted land buff and zandalar buff still not stack? they seem to have patched that too but last patch or so
