TYDKaWoW #015 | There are Ogres selling Fortune Cookies

You probably know about the Fortune Cookie, that was introduced with Cataclysm, which contains a Mysterious Fortune Card. This wasn't the first fortune cookie item in the game though. Already back during the Burning Crusade expansion there was one.

The Ogri'la Faction isn't so well known because it's just a bunch of Ogres, trapped on a plateau in Blade's Edge Mountains, surrounded by a bunch of Crystals. Even the rewards for the faction aren't that spectacular. Most people might only know about them, because of the two dailies Bomb Them Again! and Wrangle More Aether Rays!, which also give you reputation for the Sha'tari Skyguard. What I want to establish is, that it isn't a widely know popular faction to have contact with. And right there in that lesser known town of Ogri'la is a probably even less known food vendor.


The Ogri'la Grubgiver has two items in stock, that you can't get anywhere else in the World of Warcraft. The first one is Ogri'la Chicken Fingers - "Less a finger than a whole arm." and the second one are the Mingo's Fortune Giblets - "Find your fortune inside! Bask in the wisdom of Ogri'la, win a prize, or learn about your destiny!".

There they are. Mingo's Fortune Giblets. The fortune cookies, before Fortune Cookies. And instead of a Mysterious Fortune Card they contain a Bloodstained Fortune. A mysterious card can contain 1/58 different Fortune Cards, the Bloodstained Fortune is already the end product and has 20 different variations. Here are all of them, spoilers ahead:

"Don't despair. Your special ogre is out there somewhere."

"Put up your sword, your maul, and your lance.
The crystals have told us to give peace a chance."

"You need not fear with a head full of beer!"

"Two heads are better than one! Then you'll always have a friend."

"Wisdom comes in many shapes, but always flows from the crystals."

"Think positive! A large gut to one is a pair of love handles to another."

"You will meet someone special tomorrow, so remember:
you draw more friends with kindness than clubbing them to death."

"Lucky Numbers: 13 9 17 4 n"

"Your inclination for dancing brings a smile to everyone's face."

"You are special, no matter what your friends, relatives, associates,
random strangers, or your conscience may tell you."

"When all else fails, it's time to bail."

"Drunkenness is next to godliness."

"Warning: The giblet was not safe for human consumption."

"You have been chosen by the great metal hand in the sky! Now get to work."

"Let sleeping gronn lie."

"This message was brought to you by the Ogri'la Exploitation Committee. Made in Gadgetzan."

"The meaning of life is... (The rest of this message has been accidentally eaten.)"

"Sorry, you weren't a winner this time. Please play again."

"You will make an enemy today, and promptly kill it."

"Seek a higher path in life. That way, you can avoid low-lifes."

And of course big money goblins are behind both products. The ogre version made in Gadgetzan and the cookie one made by F.B. Kazzlestix in Bilgewater Harbor, according to this Fortune Card. The wealthy 1% selling us dreams - just like in the real world - and then telling us to avoid "low-lifes", putting the blame on the less fortunate.

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 | 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: 3x Bol

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

TYDKaWoW #010 | You can see Azeroth from the Black Temple

Image
I almost never look up in game. I have been a bunch of times in the Black Temple. I have been enough times in the Black Temple to get myself a pair of Warglaives of Azzinoth . But I never noticed, that you can actually see Azeroth in the sky. Every part of the raid, that takes place outside, you can just look up, and there the orb is. But why can we see it? Outlands and Azeroth isn't supposed to be so close to each other. If that were the case, we should be able to see it from anywhere in the Outlands? Well we got the lore explanation in a twitter thread, that started with the question, if Draenor and Azeroth are in the same solar system. The answer is no, they aren't. The answer to our question then still remains, but was answered a few tweets below. This wasn't answered by Blizzard directly, but the answer has been certified with a like from Ex-Lead Narrative Designer Dave Kosak. @useless740 @DaveK
