TYDKaWoW #008 | The Amani Battle Bear is an Oxymoron

Oxymoron - /ˌɒksɪˈmɔːrɒn/ - a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction.

The word "amani" is actually Swahili for "peace". So the Amani Battle Bear is actually called Peace Battle Bear. Its very clear, that those both words don't work with each other and basically cancel each other out. The original Amani War Bear is with this translation an even clearer oxymoron - Peace War Bear.

You can no longer get the War version, but the Battle one is still obtainable in game. All you have to do is defeat the first four bosses in Zul'Aman and free each of the four prisoners in under 20min. You'll get the achievement Bear-ly Made It and the mount is in the last bonus cache, that your new freed friend will reveal.

The old mount, was the reward in the older version of the instance, while it was still a raid during The Burning Crusade expansion.

Was this a Thing You Didn't Know about World of Warcraft?

Mining Route | Adamantite & Korium Ore

Image
We are farming on the Isle of Quel'Danas. This is the route we will be farming and it's not that hard to follow because there are only about 13 spawn points that respawn fast enough so you can just run around the isle over and over and over again. Since Khorium shares their spawn points with rich Adamantite you will also get this if you farm long enough. You won't have competition either because people only go on the isle for Sunwell Plateau or Magisters' Terrace. My result of 15 minutes farming: 74 Adamantite Ore (5.26G per) 24 Mote of Earth (0.52G per) 4 Eternium Ore (0.13G per at the vendor) 1 Shadow Draenite (13.5G per) 1 Deep Peridot (8.98G per) =1698.88 Gold/Hour I'm selling Eternium Ore because you most likely won't find a buyer for that. It has no really use ingame anymore; only a few recipes need it. You can also vendor the blue gems because when you have the jewelcrafting skill to use them you can also start using northrend green gems so nobody will

Gold Guide | Farming Maraudon - 14,600G/hr

Image
Here is some Information for you, if you're thinking about farming Maraudon for Gold. The Instance is located in western Desolace inside a huge Centaur-shaped mountain. There are three entrances to the Dungeon, one for each part. You go Inside the purple crystal part of the cave, jump of the bridge and do a 180°. Now you stand in front of a portal, which will bring you close to the end of the Instance and you can head back out. There are two paths you can take, but after testing both for 10 runs, I found that the southern one yields better results. The lower routes, the wicked grotto, has a lot more humanoid mobs, which drop a lot more Transmog items. The upper route, the Foulespore Cavern, has a lot more herbal creatures, which drop all sorts of herbs. The herbs of course sell a lot faster than Transmog, but I don't mind that extra few days for a lot more gold. One of the more expensive and faster selling sets to look out for, is the Ghostwalker-Set, of which nearly every pie

Legendary | Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian

Image
For my last Video, a Mount Guide for the Fiery Warhorse , i came on the Idea to show off Atiesh. This legendary can summon a Portal directly to Karazhan, where the mount drops. I have seen the Items a few times ingame and didn't thought it would be hard to find a Person who has it on such high populated realms as Outland or Blackrock, but it was. After a two hours of searching in Tradechat and a lot of whispers asking me if that Legendary was fake like all the other legendary Items that get posted in Tradechate, I started stalking people through Power of Google and the Armory. Lucky me the fifth hit or something was an Article about the Guild Borked who just (9. November'06) got their third one of these. There are still two people in this Guild with the Staff, which are actively playing and raiding in wod. I got hold of Fs  and they helped me with my Video. On this search I gathered a lot of Information about the Staff that I want to share. Questchain: The Questchain start

Gold Guide | Farming Blackfathom Deeps - 10,000G/hr

Image
Here is some Information for you if you're thinking about farming Blackfathom Deeps for Gold. The Instance is located in Ashenvale, hidden in an underwater cave on the zom'gor strand. The cave starts after diving into the pond formed on the bottom of the most northern building. The way through the cave is quite simple, which you'll have to take after about every two instance runs, to empty your bags. So you might want to put your heartstone at an Inn in Ashenvale. The one for the horde is right at the Strand and the nearest for the Alliance is in Astranaar.  Once you're inside you'll notice the instance got a revamp with wod. This introduced new mobs - and most of them now have a max follow range or just won't follow you inside or out of the water, meaning we have to stop a lot and kill single groups. This is also why you're free to use any profession you have. Normally I stay away from mining or herbing because it's mostly an extra stop, but since we
