Blizzard Announcement

Blizzard

The gaze of the Black Prince had been both blessing and curse to her once upon a time. Her journey long and arduous, the blood of the enemy stained her boots. Now she stood on the corpse of the vanquished Fire God – Ordos – her cloak whipping about her frame and victory beating within her heart. Her journey was at an end. But as with any end, there is always another beginning ‘round the bend.

To be legendary, one must obtain– a truly legendary cloak. What hero is hero without one? To help you on your danger fraught quest, the infamous Black Prince would grant you a boon to help make the journey toward adorning your own cloak a little easier. Will you follow in the footsteps of heroes that have come before and brave the challenge?

Beginning Tuesday, June 17 at 9:00 a.m. PDT, through Monday, June 30 at 9:00 a.m. PDT, we’ll be applying the Gaze of the Black Prince buff which will increase the reputation gained with the Black Prince by 100%. It will also increase the chance of obtaining items from his foes needed as a part of the Legendary Cloak quest line including: the Secrets of the Empire, Sigil of Wisdom, Sigil of Power, or Titan Runestones.

Comment by Quackie Yea from 6k valor to 3k valor add 8 bosses from SoO. Heck why not just give the legendary after the first quest ? Grinding working hard and after some time everyone can get it way easier than you did. Yea I don't approve of this crap. Yet that's only my opinion.Comment by thaedris20 I have a feeling that they will alternate buffs throughout the rest of the expansion. I dont think they were intended as a one time thing. Comment by Lycanlord you know what would be REALLY cool, if i wasn't on the *!@#ing test of valor part of this quest. I won't see benefit of this buff whatsoever Comment by Drakiir 5 bosses and no sigil on an alt. @#$%ty buff is @#$%ty. Back to not caring. Comment by Nocked Meh, all of those changes are easy. The PVP requirement is not if you're an alliance player. In fact, it's a downright infuriating and off putting requirement. Comment by JPato01 lovely buff, from honored to exalted in 20m, shame thats the only use im going to be able get out of this, now i have to farm valor for the next 3 weeks and the buff only last 2. blizz didnt think about that Comment by ghostwolfpup Sure, the buff seems great, but I don't think it's working as intended. A friend of mine did ToT and SoO with me earlier, he's on the Secrets part.. and he only received four Secrets total today. Comment by Biimoo Very useful, mostly when people are at valor quest and this is a temporary buff. Comment by KingdomKnight I don't think 2 weeks in long enough unless they drastically increased the drop rates with this buff. Without the buff the Runestones/Secrets each take about a month right? Unless it's 2-4x faster now then this buff isn't doing much. Comment by AlexLucas I really wonder who came up with this design of the legendary cloak. As it is required even to get into full normal clear raids, which means that you won't get into more or less serious raiding earlier than 2-3 months because of farming this damned cloak. This is especially annoying when you plan on switching to raid on an alt, but no - not before you farm this stupid cloak.
It was way better when legendaries were super rare, so you didn't HAVE to have it in order to raid.

And yes, 2 of my alts are stuck on the valor grind. This buff will sure be helpful... Comment by FireonaBlackstar "Legendary" Comment by banokawow I need 9 more secrets and did 2 of the specified raids last night. As of this morning, I only need 9 MORE STILL. It would be really nice if the Prince would look my way when I run 2 more tonight! Comment by Vantrina This buff is absolutely worthless to anyone who is just starting their legendary, considering there's at the very least 3 weeks of valor capping before you can get secrets/runestones. Comment by PragmaticSoul Would be nice if they'd let you do all the quests concurrently, I think.

So while you're getting the valor, you're also running raids to get the token drops, and maybe tossing in the occasional battleground and killing off NPCs in Krasarang. Comment by Scrumptous Sure, the buff seems great, but I don't think it's working as intended. A friend of mine did ToT and SoO with me earlier, he's on the Secrets part.. and he only received four Secrets total today.Comment by VicWild 2 mains with cloaks. 2 alts stuck at pvp. For them I'll just aim for upgraded warforged instead. As 1 piece of your gear it's not much difference. Comment by trest LFR, Flex, Normal, and Heroic all have separate lockouts and loot drop lockout.Comment by robbiedehand Sure, the buff seems great, but I don't think it's working as intended. A friend of mine did ToT and SoO with me earlier, he's on the Secrets part.. and he only received four Secrets total today.Comment by robbiedehand Would be nice if they'd let you do all the quests concurrently, I think.

So while you're getting the valor, you're also running raids to get the token drops, and maybe tossing in the occasional battleground and killing off NPCs in Krasarang.Comment by robbiedehand o if I complete the secrets part of the questline by middle of the week let's say... can I rerun the RAIDS to get the titan runestones? Or will I have to wait till the next week when lockouts are reset?
