Acquiring Maximillian of Northshire as a Champion in Patch 7.2
While
demonic invasions and the Tomb of Sargeras
open for testing in this Patch 7.2 PTR build, there are some more lighthearted bits of content such as recruiting
Maximillian of Northshire
as a Paladin follower! Originally slaying "dragons" aka dinosaurs in Un'Goro,
Maximillian of Northshire
has moved onto slaying "demons" aka murlocs in the Broken Isles.
Maximillian of Northshire
is based on the character of
Don Quixote
, a well-meaning knight that embellishes the events around him so his actions seem more grandiose.
Mischief Raises More than 2.5 Million for Make-A-Wish
Blizzard has announced the charity numbers for Mischief in December 2016: over 2.5 million for Make-A-Wish. This
Mischief Plush
is still out of stock, but you can purchase the in-game Battle Pet
here
.
Perksnpeeves
from WarcraftPets has tallied charity costs for the other pets and it looks like Mischief has made a record amount for charity. The next highest amount was
Cinder Kitten
which raised $2.3 million for the American Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy relief.

Winking Eye of Love
is ilvl 830 at 110, and scales down if you loot it at a lower level.
