Challenges
Name these quests – Winners
by Saate on Dec.17, 2009, under Challenges
Here you are! Very closely contested, I was pretty surprised how easily you guys answered some of (what I thought were) the tougher ones. A huge thanks goes to Penfold for helping me come up with all of these.
Winners
First Place – Tax with 12/15 Correct
Second Place – Dregor and Decretalium with 11/15 Correct
Congrats guys! Flick me an email with what your card preference is (1-2-3) and I’ll send you out the codes. It was definitely open to interpretation with some of them, most of you were tricked with number 12 (hardest quest) catching some of you off guard. The ‘get your heart racing’ was a clue to that fact it was the Captain Skyshatter/Dragonmaw race.
Barbequed was also the only person to come close to number 3 (this is just a tribute) which referred to [A Broken Trap] which was an integral part of any Dire Maul Tribute run.
What game shall we play next? Any ideas? :)
Name these quests!

I think you guys are going to love this one – thanks to a friend and patron of the site, [Fortissimo], I’ve got some loot cards up for grabs with this competition:
Of course I had to make it harder this time round! Using the cryptic clues below post a response with the names of the corresponding quests. They’re almost entirely classic quests and the majority are available to both factions.
1. The gold at the end of this treasure hunt is not at all what one would expect.
2. A silky solution to a common problem.
3. This is not the greatest quest in the world, this is just a tribute.
4. So wait a second…if I turn the quest in I’ll lose this toy? Not happening!
5. With the assistance of Billy Shears.
6. We have to do it in under 45 minutes? How is that even possible?
7. You would have to be insane to do this one more than a few times.
8. You die if you drink the liquid, but the quest says you have to so…bottoms up!
9. Not as bad as Chuck Norris, but will still cause you to /leave 1
10. An epic quest chain involving the crafting of special bane weapons which culminates in battle against a demon on a lofty desert plateau.
11. Slay the mightiest beast in all of Azeroth!
12. It’s been referred to as the hardest solo quest in the game by many. This one will definitely get your heart racing.
13. Break his will, control his mind, with his power the three rebind.
14. What, 40 Already? That’s bullcrap!
15. This lass is udderly better than Fay or Naomi
I’ll leave this post up for five days after which the winners will be announced. Good luck!
Round 2 – Name these bosses!
by Saate on Nov.25, 2009, under Challenges, General
So I had lots of fun with that last classic challenge. I was surprised how many people got it so this time (I think) I’ve made it harder for you! Four of these bosses are from four different classic warcraft dungeons. One of them is a classic raid boss.
Who are they and where are they from?
Bonus Question: If they all faced off with each other who would emerge victorious?
No prize this time but I have some loot cards arriving soon for future rounds. I’ll let the winner pick the topic (ie scenes, npcs, items) of the next round as a reward though. If you have any ideas for tricky stuff then email me them through.
Name these classic bosses

Something fun for you guys! After a few classic instance runs lately I got to thinking about how many ‘secret’ or ‘hidden’ bosses there were even back then.
There’s a massive list of them so I thought it might be a cool challenge to show a picture of a few at a time and see who can get the most correct. To clarify; All of the bosses shown in the picture were in non-raid instances during classic warcraft.
I have a [Path of Cenarius] loot card here for the first correct set of answers. If nobody answers correctly within a day or so it’ll go to the person who got the most correct. Leave your answers in the comments field below!
UPDATE – I’ve had a number of responses come in so far. I’m going to not show the comments for another day or so to ensure everyone gets a fair go. Also a bonus question! People who played a certain class in classic wow have an advantage on this challenge, which class and why?
UPDATE 2 – The first correct answer was Hakasu from Ravenholdt EU, your path of cenarius code is on the way in an email grats! :) Grats also to Dregor, Aimcaster, Blatant, Ares, Stonefury who had correct answers.
The answer to the bonus question was Mage. In classic wow the Magisters Boots (dungeon set) were originally – and very unfairly – a drop from Postmaster Malown. They were later moved to Hearthsinger Forestren who was a lot easier to farm.
I also would have accepted Druids for the Mor Grayhoof/idol connection as some of you pointed out – many memories of stealth farming that one! :)
