TYDKaWoW #008 | The Amani Battle Bear is an Oxymoron

Image
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?

TYDKaWoW #007 | The Toy Train Set bullied Blizzard into a Hotfix

Image
It's the 13th November of 2014. You've just started your first job and have your first day off. It's for the release of Warlords of Draenor, because why not. You don't have any better reasons to take your vacation days. You log in, there are some bugs and a bunch of people fighting over mobs. Maybe starting on release day isn't so much fun? You get far enough in the questline to finally get your own Garrison. Everything stops. Phasing is broken. Everyone is inside your person Garrison. You're not bother about it very much so, because you have some nice music blasting. Quickly are able to move on to other quests. But others don't have that luxury. Hundreds of people are stuck in the same spot and try out their toys, which are now available in the new toy box. And one of them is the Toy Train Set . Fun little train. With a fun little effect. People around it, will be forced to emote /train, imitating a train sound. And if you have your sound on. That's hun...

TYDKaWoW #006 | Demons like to tell jokes

Image
You might have thought, that player characters were the only joksters in the World of Warcraft, besides the few fun quests and cinematics around, but there are also the demons. Yes, even demons like to have a nice chuckle at points. Not your random enemy ones, but the nice ones, the capture warlock salve ones. Every one of those, that can speak, actually has one "_FUNNY" voice line. And if you command them to do something, like move to a certain place or attack someone, they have a chance to say it instead of a boring line. "You know, we've had some real good times together, but I really think I should start seeing other warlocks. Just a little on the side. No no no it's not you, it's me. I just really need my space." - Imp "I... am...void...where prohibited." - Voidwalker "First, we'll start with a little fire! *Fiery Sound* Am I bugging you? I'm not touching you! Am I bugging you? I'm not touching you!! There, now you're ...

Gold Guide | Farming Scholomance - 8,700G/hr

Image
Here is some Information for you, if you're thinking about farming Scholomance for Gold. The Instance is located on the Island in the middle of Western Plaguelands. Walk inside the building and turn left at the first chance, to open a door and find the Instanceportal. Inside we are greeted by two Skeleton guards, which we pull with us into the next room. Here you have to pull all mobs around the first encounter, because everything that isn't in fight before the encounter starts, dies without yielding any loot. The second room has a lot of mobs, but only the cultists and reanimated corpses give you loot. I run through the corridors, get the mobs and kill the boss at the end of the room so we can continue. The third room starts off with 6 Boneweavers scattered around it, which you have to kill in order to spawn the boss of the room. Room number four only contains trash, which I pull into the next room with Lilian Voss. The Meatgiants are very slow, but the Encounter also ta...

Gold Guide | Farming Uldaman - 9,600G/hr

Image
Here is some Information for you, if you're thinking about farming Uldaman for Gold. First off, the Instance is easier to access from the back entrance, since the cave is much shorter, which also makes running out and selling at this end much faster. I run Inside that entrance and make my first pull from there to the chamber of the final boss. I pull everything to the right and then turn left, so I can get the rest on the way back. Inside the boss chamber, you have to defeat four stone guards and then can continue to the endboss, which also needs to be activated. After defeating him, you can go into the treasure chamber behind him and get 2-3 free Greens. Then I head out and take the first left I can, into the stone guard part of the Instance. Head up the broken cave part and jump down. There are two chests close by, but I skip those, because they have been locked 4 out of 4 times I tried and also take about an extra 30seconds each, which I don't think is worth it.  You should ...

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 #005 | Lara Croft is banned

Image
Laracroft is not allowd in World of Warcraft. Not even L.*croft, her regular expressly named sister. Blizzard is frequently freeing up unused names, but there are some names that are just unavailable. These names are labled profane and just not avaiable to anyone. Below you'll find an old and now incomplete list, with a bunch of examples. It's incomplete as Blizzard always has to update this list with the new bad words, that the corrupted youth has come up with. If you are interested in the currently 17,482 banned Names, you can check out them out on wow.tools website.

Gold Guide | Farming Razorfen Kraul - 9,300G/hr

Image
Here is some Information for you, if you're thinking about farming Razorfen Kraul for Gold. The Instance is located in southern Southern Barrens. Once inside, you're going to notice, that this is one of the Instances, that got revamped with Warlords of Draenor. One of the new things you have to look out for, are trap wires on the ground. There is also the new system, where you have to kill the boss to progress, so we make our first stop at Kraulshaper Tukaar here and then continue. The next tunnel part has the first spawn location of the two treasure chests, that will always be in one run. To see all five spawn locations, watch the video below. Near the End of the Tunnel will be a root to the right, which you can use as a shortcut, to get on top of the right path way. At the end of it is the next boss, where we round of the next group of trash and kill them with the boss. You can now use the higher ledge on this part, to get across the drop with your glider onto the ...

Gold Guide | Farming Scarlet Monastery - 4,800G/hr

Image
Here is some Information for you, if you're thinking about farming Scarlet Halls for Gold. The Instance is located in Tirisfal Glades and the easiest way to get there as an alliance player is to use the portal to the blasted lands, fly to Grom'gol and take the first class seats on top of the Zepplin to Undercity. Once you reach the Monastery building, go in and head into the left Instance Portal. You can Mount up inside the instance, but the first few mob groups are fighting against Zombies; to get them we need to pull one of each group individually. Running through them with a mount won't work. I round them up in the crypt entrance behind the first boss and kill them, which opens up the door to the next part. There will still be zombies following you, because we haven't killed the Corpsepiles, but they give up after a bit in the monastery part. We pull both sides down here and then both sides on the upper level. I use one of the Corridor corners to line of s...
