Patch 2.4, Badge Loot   Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 | Games, WoW | , | by aos

200 BadgesWant to raid? Collect Badges of Justice.

The new ‘best’ items in the game for PvE are in Soulwell and they are a little better than Tier 6, we’ll call them Tier 6.5. Getting to them is difficult unless you are in a raiding guild that is entering Soulwell. For those of you going in Hyjal Summit, Black Temple, or even Karazhan, Blizzard has made it easier than ever. All you need is more badges to get geared up. With those badges you can buy items that are better than Tier 5 and almost as good as Tier 6. In some specific cases they are even better than Tier 6. And the badges to get it all, are now more common than ever.

Let’s look at what you need to do to get there.

Patch 2.4, Sunwell and You   Friday, February 22nd, 2008 | Games, WoW | | by aos

Model Dragonhawk

The arrival of the 2.4 patch is imminent, maybe within the next couple weeks. I thought I would post a run down of the biggest changes for those of us who are not on the precipitous edge.

There is a new Island, Quel’Danas, which you can get to from Ironforge. It’s the center of new quest hub with two new instances and will kick off a server wide event called the Shattered Sun Offensive which will unlock new vendors and quests for all players.

There is a new 5 player instance the Magisters’ Terrace which you can visit on normal or heroic with none other than the ressurected Kael’thas Sunstrider from Tempest Keep. There is a new 25 player raid called the Sunwell Plateau. And of course there are new quests, receipes, formulas, and so on. This is likely the last major content update we will see until the Wrath of the Lich King.

Blizzard is making it easier to visit the older Burning Crusades content. They are removing attunements for many instances including Karazhan, Mount Hyjal, and The Black Temple. There are also making getting the necessary gear to go there easier. They are also unlocking the end bosses in Serpentshrine Cavern and The Tempest Keep which previously required you to clear the whole instance before seeing. This will help all those who want the new Hand of A’dal title.
