Patch 3.3.9 – Gold achievement and mount coming!!
After reading about this one all I can say is OMG! As a recently gold capped player this is not only timely but completely awesome. I’ve always loved unique model mounts and this one will be no exception.
I’m pretty sure that even if they made it purchasable for 200k instead of an achievement reward I’d still buy it. The question is, how are Blizzard going to prevent players cheating to get this? eg If I trade 200k to one of my alts will it also receive the feat of strength?
My guess is that the mechanics for awarding this feat will also pull some sort of historical server data such as total gold acquired, total gold earned from auctions etc.
Do you guys agree? Is adding this achievement a good thing? Anyone know exactly what historical data the servers even log on your character? Discuss!
Undocumented Feat of Strength changes in 3.2
So you may recall my excitement at getting Thunderfury back in July adding yet another feat of strength to my collection. Well recently I heard from a reader, [Skipt of Anvilmar], who completed the questline and joined the druid-thunderfury club. One wierd thing though was that no feat of strength was awarded.
After a post on the bug forums it appears that an undocumented 3.2 change has caused this. Apparently you need to equip the item to get the feat of strength, this is somehow tied into the change allowing BOP items to be traded to others in the raid.
Now I definitely agree that this was a necessary change for some items, like the VoA mammoth, otherwise players could trade a single drop around and all get the feat of strength. It doesnt make sense that this should stop Skipt being awarded the feat though!
Let’s hope that this is fixed in a future patch eh?
Thunderfury…on a Druid? Yep, another feat down! :p
So earlier in May you may recall that I made a post about soloing Garr and having his binding drop. Well since then I’ve been dragging my buddy [Zyklia] through MC every week to duo Baron Geddon to try getting the second binding.
Why? Pretty much because it was there to do hehe – I also really like the fact that it awards a kinda unique feat of strength for a druid. There’s also the delicious tears to be had from the one-binding folks that have been less fortunate than I.
Big thanks to Zyklia for coming along every week to do Geddon. Also thanks to Cerise for the mining help and to Cheebs for not-quite-gouging me on the elementium ore :p
