perculia
Busy day for Blizzard--they posted some
incentives to keep 25-player raiding alive in 5.2
, launched a new
5.2 PTR build
with a new archaeology race, legendary metagems, and
Tier 15 Itemsets
, and now they've got some hotfixes and class balance posts this evening!
Players still struggling to complete the 5.0 part of the legendary questchain will be happy to know that
Sigil of Wisdom
will be easier to obtain.
Raids, Dungeons, and Scenarios
Sigil of Power
now only drop in
Mogu'shan Vaults
, and
Sigil of Wisdom
will only drop in
Heart of Fear
and
Terrace of Endless Spring
, with a very small chance to drop in LFR
Mogu'shan Vaults
. This should ensure that players who had access to
Mogu'shan Vaults
for a longer period of time are now seeing more
Sigil of Wisdom
.

Patch 5.1: New Rare Tames
posted
2012/12/26 at 12:17 PM
by
perculia
Over 100 low-level rares were also added in the most recent patch--many have distinctive colors that make them unique Hunter tames. In addition, Arcane Wyrms are now tamable serpents, and several received recolors for more variation.
If you're not a Hunter, these new rares don't drop any fancy loot, but they do give a significant amount of experience for killing them. The list is fun just to browse as well because many have clever names, like
Gib the Banana-Hoarder
, a monkey with a fez.
We've broken down the rares by continent and level, including zone details and 3D models, as well as by pet family. Tames with unique colors/models are marked in italics.

Exploration Guide: Riches of Pandaria
posted

by
perculia
A new achievement was added in Patch 5.1,
Riches of Pandaria
, for finding many junk items hidden like
Ancient Pandaren Tea Pot
. There are 18 total and many vendor for and grant several hundred thousand experience if found while leveling. Based on excellent user comments such as
Lilikoi's
and our own experiences finding treasures, we've made a guide to this new achievement series.
There are four achievements in this series. If you found several items before 5.1, you will get credit for them.
Treasure of Pandaria
: Find a Treasure of Pandaria.
Fortune of Pandaria
: Find 5 Treasures of Pandaria.
Bounty of Pandaria
: Find 10 Treasures of Pandaria.
Riches of Pandaria
: Find all of the Treasures of Pandaria.
The guide below lists all the hidden objects you encounter, the items inside that vendor for gold, the hidden "Flag" quest that triggers when you find the object, coordinates that open a new map window, and an image of the treasure. Each tab also contains a zone map with pins that take you to the object's page when clicked on. Objects needed for the ac

News Round Up: Heroic Mode Boss Changes, Justice Points in 5.2
posted
2012/12/18 at 12:43 PM
by
perculia
Today's news round up covers some heroic boss nerfs, as well a a few 5.2 teasers--pet battles will have a chance to give you
Lesser Charm of Good Fortune
, and if you're capped on Valor Points, doing additional content that usually rewards Valor Points will give you Justice Points. (Keep in mind nothing is set in stone at all, these 5.2 ideas may change.) In addition, a lot of Warriors weren't happy about the
nerf from last week, so Blizzard explained their reasoning in great detail.

Turtle Beach Holiday Giveaway

Heroic Mode Boss Changes

News Round Up: Pet Battle Experience Updates, 12/13 Hotfixes

perculia
We'll be putting up our
Feast of Winter Veil
guide later today, but there's also been some blue posts we want to share with you! Most importantly, pet battlers will be happy to learn that it will be easier to power level low-level pets due to an upcoming hotfix in which level 25 pets don't leech experience.
Also posted this afternoon: several hotfixes pertaining to battle pets,
Grand Empress Shek'zeer
's heroic loot table, and
Frost Bomb
.
We’ve been receiving a few inquiries over Twitter and through email regarding
Farmer Nishi
, so we thought we’d share our thoughts on Pet Battle experience gains with you.
We will soon be applying a hotfix that causes level-25 pets to no longer “steal” experience from your lower-level pets. Previously, if you had a level-3 and level-25 pet grouped together for a battle, the XP earned would be shared between the two at the end. This resulted in some players doing what they could to kill off their level-25 pet so the level-3 pet would get all of the experience. You no longer need to worry about this as the level-3 pet will now receive 100% of the XP that’s earned, so long as it has participated in at least one round

Mists of Pandaria Legendary Quest Guide: Updated for 5.1
posted
2012/12/12 at 10:37 AM
by
perculia
Mists of Pandaria has a unique legendary questline: it spans content patches and any class and spec can work on it. Multiple people in your raid can work on it at the same time, and it can even be completed in LFR. We've updated our guide to reflect the new 5.1 questline and weapon models.
New Weapon Models
Jin'ya, Orb of the Waterspeaker
and
Spiritsever
have spookier models in 5.1 to live up to their 'Sha-Touched' category. Also in 5.1,
Jin'ya, Orb of the Waterspeaker
or
Kri'tak, Imperial Scepter of the Swarm
will transform your Shadowfiend into a Sha-fiend.
