Before raid last night, Moopie mentioned on vent that they were taking
the Battlefield:Barrens stuff away soon. I didn't do any research but I
was scared. I hadn't farmed any of the novelty items on my Priest or
Shaman. My Priest because I haven't been playing her and my Shaman
because I didn't want to get them on my alt if my main didn't have
them (that makes sense...). Worried I would miss out (still I hadn't confirmed the rumour), I rushed off to farm up some
Kor'kron Stone. You need 500
Kor'kron Stone for the
Whole-Body Shrinka'
which is the main item I was after. It was just over an hours work. Not
as bad as I was expecting. I picked up 7 of the Kor'kron epic pieces (
Latent Kor'kron Belt etc), 1 Rare, 21 Uncommon items, 5 stacks of
Windwool Cloth, a lot of vendor trash and a 24 slot bag (
Kor'kron Supply Satchel). I didn't know those mobs dropped a bag!

Now my Shaman had something that my Priest didn't. This wouldn't sit well, so I took Veluxia out there to start farming. She started with 73 stone, an hour later she still didn't have half of what was required from farming on her own. When I started there was no one killing commanders but a /who showed me there were a lot of people in the zone so I flew over and to one of them and joined up with a group who were farming them. Honestly, with the flight time, waiting for everyone to arrive and the random amounts of each resource dropped from each commander, I don't actually think it saved me any time (it may have taken longer) but it felt better killing them in a group.

I did some searching online for confirmation on the removal of the event. All I could find was forum posts by players stating that it would be removed but I didn't look very hard. So what about the pet?! I find it hard to imagine Blizzard are simply going to remove the pet with no other means of acquiring it. Wowhea
d PTR is showing the currency used to buy the items as grey/trash (Kor'kron Stone). There is also the Brawler's Guild quest item Raptorhide Boxing Gloves, that you purchase with a
Radical Mojo, which is tied to achievements. I can't see those becoming unobtainable.
I got the item I really wanted, if I can be bothered I might farm up some of the other items but here's hoping I can keep putting it off.
What! Those suckers had bags and didn't give me one? /Heads to the Barrens
ReplyDeleteGosh, I had like 350 stone before I saw one today!
DeleteA-ha! That explains the Boomkin I saw in a BG earlier today with what I thought was a Moonkin hatchling pet... until it started Moonfiring me in the face!
ReplyDeleteLOL! You do pitiful DPS while the buff is on! At least you probably lived!
DeleteOh Luxy, why did I read this? I've quite happily ignored the vanity items but now I MUST HAVE ONE! must must, I want to be a tiny boomkin too :)
ReplyDeleteThe tiniest tiny!
DeleteI've avoided getting any of the vanity items because of my bag space, but I think this could be a fun item to keep, thanks for highlighting it!
ReplyDeleteTransmog boots that make you look barefooted? Might have to get that one too..../facepalm
I was thinking about the boots. I should just farm them, better to be safe than sorry! Even though... my priest doesn't have feet.:D
DeleteI wanted to get that bag on all of my alts but now I couldn't be bothered. I might be farming this item on my priest though :)
ReplyDeleteIt's really fun! Get it sooner rather than later in case they take it out!
DeleteI laugh at that thing! I still remember Moo doing it to himself and doing like NO DPS!
ReplyDeleteHAHA! Yesterday before raid I was running around with spectral kitten chasing me as a tiny ghost wolf :D
DeleteI must go get this item this weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt is so awesome!
