TYDKaWoW #013 | Cloaks were only made visible due to Popular Demand


Feedback during beta tests seems to work? For the longest time during the development of World of Warcraft, any back-slot item wasn't visible on your character. But then the beta started and people seem to have complained. Because Patch 0.6 featured the following update:

Due to popular demand, cloaks have been made visible.
This will help players customize their characters even more than before.

And that is true. My character is more customizable with cloak. How else would I cosplay as a small Superman ingame? And if you don't like it you could just hide it in the Interface Display options.

Nowadays you visit your Transmogrification to do that, and even more options are being added, like the Black Dragonscale Backpack. But maybe a backpack is cheating, because it isn't really a cloak, even though it makes sense to be a back-slot item.

Another cloak improvement we're just now getting to see in the game, as far as I know, is cloak improvements with the Visions of N'Zoth's Legendary Cloak. Early tests of such a system were already shown off during the Warlords of Dreanor BlizzCon days.

Interesting how far that little player feedback has come.

Gold Guide | Farming Gnomeregan - 6,400G/hr

Image
Here is some Information for you if you're thinking about farming Gnomeregan for Gold. The Instanceportal is Located in western Dun Morogh, but as a horde player you can use the teleporter located in Grom'gol. This porter makes the Instance really great to farm for Horde players, because you also get ported back there once you leave and have your mailbox and vendor right there. The alliance has to go into Gnomeregan, down the elevator and then take a left, once they have the choice, to find the instance portal. Inside we do, what no low level group should do. We take the parachute from the box located straight in front of the entrance, pull one of the Troggs, only the uninfected work for this, and jump down. On the bottom we pull the Viscous Fallout which is just circling behind us and then run straight across into the gnome tunnel. Here I jump up and down and taunt in between to get the mobs on both levels. At the circle part you take a right, because the way down is on ...

Gold Guide | Farming Shadowfang Keep - 7,500G/hr

Image
Here is some Information for you if you're thinking about farming Shadowfang Keep for Gold. The Instance is Located in southern Silverpine Forest and has a huge Storyline to it, which horde players can follow before even entering the Instance with Quest in the Zone. Sadly this also means, that we're affected by boring speeches that only slow us down. On the good side, the route I'm taking only contains one of the speeches. We start the Instance in a room full of Quest and Story NPC's. You then head into the right doorway and pull all the mobs up until the boss. Kill all the Trash before you go near the Boss. Once the Boss is dead the first Storypoint is reached and the Instance to this point fills with NPC's and the Trash will despawn. If you haven't looted/killed them yet - bad luck. Now we have to wait for one of the NPC's to open the door, which takes about 30seconds. This time can be used perfectly to disenchant Items from previous runs. After the doo...

Gold Guide | Runecloth Shuffle

Image
I love simple math, as you can tell from the calculations below. So i wanted to make this Guide, because I had so much Runecloth from my BWL Trash | Gold Guide  and I didn't wanted to flood the market with all the cloth and also thought I could make more money. You can see the three best Methods I found during my research below and all the calculations, which contain average prices from theunderminejournal . For all three methods you will be needing Tailoring and Enchanting. I disenchanted 100 of all the Gear pieces below to get an average. All Gear made is learned from the Trainer. Runecloth Belt - Runecloth into Dream Dust This is  the cheapest way to convert Runecloth into Dream Dust. With the Average prices, this guide doesn't make any gold. This Shuffle is profitable if the prices for Runecloth and Dream Dust are: 4Stacks of Runecloth < 1 Stack of Dream Dust Turn all lesser eternal essences into greater ones; nobody buys lesser ones. Created with: ...

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...

TYDKaWoW #004 | The Scarlet Monastery was a single Instance

Image
Scarlet Commander Mograine. (©World of Warcraft Trading Card Game) We all still know, how the four scarlet Instances looked, back before Mist of Pandaria. We had the Graveyard, Armory, Cathedral and the Library. Each only featuring one to three Bosses, which at the time of it's release was quite a low amount in comparison. With the revamp the Graveyard and Cathedral were combined into the Monastery and the Armory and Library in the Scarlet halls, both having three Bosses. But this actually wasn't the first revamp. During the WoW Alpha, the Scarlet Monastery was one dungeon, combining all the four Dungeons we got during Vanilla. But was changed before release. Dungeon Map for the original single dungeon layout. Starting in the Halls of Visitors, which now holds the Instanceportals and some non-elite mobs, leading into the Garden part, where old Houndmaster Loksey was located. Then you'd encounter Herod in his usual Hall of Heros, which featured a few more statues and a...
