This week we talk about the new dev diaries, bullroarer patch notes, some items not found in the patch notes, store sales, and more!
Goldenstar has been fiddling around on Bullroarer taking pictures of thing to share for the blog. Her Rune-keeper is now level 49 and playing in Eregion. She attempted to travel into Moria and got so lost she was forced to map out.
Merric’s minstrel is level 47 and also in Eregion. He plans to go into Moria right at 50. His guardian is only 1 armor piece away from full anuminas armor. We also ran 3-man Library instance with our friend Bryandt on his hunter.
We were lucky enough to be sent some Green Dragon’s Breath Ale from the Bywater Brewing Company that we sampled during the show.

Hi Merric and Goldenstar! Ialva the Lv60 Minstrel from Brandywine here! : ) Since it’s the year of the rabbit I am considering changing my surname from Cookiecutter to Bunnyhugger : )
After a LONG period of soloing I got back to group plays and had a great start of running 6 back-to-back challenge mode Grand Stair. I did it with a Guard and the rest are all random PUGs with different composition in every run. We had incredibly good luck on PUGs and got some very awesome people (We got Wings of the Windlord repeatedly and it just make runs a breeze). End up we only had 1 death (which is a hunter who keep getting back to strength stance so it doesn’t count *whistles*) It was an incredibly invaluable experience as we get to learn how to cooperate with different class combinations, and needless to say we made a lot of cool friends! (A scholar even made me a very nice 2nd age book for free coz he says he likes us : D)
Just read the dev diaries for the echoes of the dead and I am very excited for it! Love the introduction of legacy replacement scrolls and the minstrel changes. Makes me want to try it out on Bullroarer : D

You can have up to 6 Milestones. They’re per character purchases. They share cooldown. You can buy a trait to reduce your cooldown for this shared milestone setup to 30minutes from down the 1hr.

Pretty sure the Tickle emote is barterable from one of the rep vendors late game.. worth checking out!

Yeah I don’t do dailies enough to earn things like this. It was 47 TP. I have nearly 6000 TP. It was worth half a dollar for me.

“I don’t like these pants anymore”
Brilliant. Love this episode. So funny!
Hunters (or at least this hunter) are very annoyed with the milestones. Gone are the utility of our ports except for ourselves, and yet, we get no skills to replace them. Saddens me to see the usefulness of our class diminished, but hey! at least we’re no longer top Moors dps! Oh wait, we weren’t anyway. But we have group poison removal now, so I’m not too upset.

@Geldarion – As a player that’s most recently coming from The 800 Pound Gorilla, I can’t say that I see how multiple milestones reduces a hunter’s utility overall, in the grand scheme of things. How many (VIP-presumed) players are going to want to purchase as many as *42* Milestones?
On the plus side, having most recently come from the 800 Pound Gorilla, I tend to view a Hunter’s teleport to be somewhat similar to a WoW Mage’s Portal – and if I never,. ever hear anything that sounds remotely similar to “WTB Port2Dalaran” ever again, it’ll be too freaking soon. =)
P.S. You guys should make a habit of tipping back a couple during the show. You both were just a *little* more relaxed and funny and friendly and…somehow…yourselves. =)
