Wildshard Strikes Gold

Wildshard Strikes Gold

Wildshard made a Naxxramas that turned into an astounding secret - at least to Wild. He began his run normally, completing the sweep. Then he reset the instance and set it to 25 man. From there he reset again for the second run. The set and reset works for ten resets and then Nax will refuse a reset. It takes a few days before Nax opens again.

Well, this time Wild did his ten runs and then on a whim ran an 11th reset. It ran. He ran a 12th - and the reset was still working. Wild reset Nax 15 times! and then could have gone again except that Wild had no more room in his bags. Wildshard is not sure if that was a bugged run - or a change in the settings that allow more runs. Wild will test Nax again soon to see what is going on. He got 23 frostweave bags for that run, which is huge.

Even better, Chaitee rode huge wave of mat buying and prices just went crazy:

Satchel - went from 190 to 498

Embersilk - 375 to 450

Frostweave - 150 to 397 Wow!

Hexweave - 850 to 980

Naxxramas Update: A day later Sista sent Atkar out for another Nax run. Atkar HATES those Nax runs. Atkar's warrior gear is just not compatible with tailoring, and the run was taking forever. Frustrated, Atkar balked and refused to finish. "I'M A WARRIOR!" She bellowed, "not a damned seamstress!"

Well, a frostweave run was still needed, so Sista was forced to set aside her own business and do the run. She didn't mind, and she was hoping that the run was still bugged so she could get extra mats. Sista teleported to Dalaran and entered the portal at the Wyrmrest Temple. She came out of the portal at Crystalsong Forest, not at the temple. Hmmm. Well, the Gods of Wow just had this large patch and a lot of things look different now. Sista just sighed. She ported back to Dalaran, which has been transformed into a completely new arrangement. Sista checked off the portals that were available, and eventually found the portal to Wyrmrest Temple, and then hunted down the location of Naxxramas. Whew!

It will take some time to get comfortable with the new portal setup, but overall Sista was okay with it. Sista made the Nax run and this time she got her ten runs, and then Nex shut her out. So things are back to normal. 

==== PATCH 8-1-5 ====

 03/12/2019

So that's the patch. Honestly, I didn't think it would be a big deal. Normally there is little that affects Wild or the rest of the family of Horde and Alliance. But a couple things caught my attention, and twenty minutes later I realized that this patch is huge. Actually, the patch is overwhelming. It's practically choked with stuff to the point there seems no way to encompass it all.

It's hard enough to keep two characters active (Wild and Wildswench, of course) , but trying to fit even a small piece of this patch looks nearly impossible to learn. More on this later . . . 

Wildswench Wakes up to the Patch

 

It was early morning on a clear day in Orgrimmar. Wench woke up at the Wyverns Tail Inn, as is her usual. But something felt just a little . . .  different. Smothering a large yawn, she checked on her mailbox, but it was empty. Sigh. None of the Auction House bids she'd put up had been sold yet.

Then she noticed something odd about the Valor of Honor entrance that led outside the fortress. Shaking off the feeling, she hopped on her wind rider and flew into the Cleft of Shadow to get access to the Zuldazar portal.

To her surprise, the portal was gone! How was she going to get to Zuldazar? She asked herself. Just what is going on? Hmmm. Well, another way to get there is through the portal at Dalaran. The portal to Zuldazar was there to her relief, but the other portals were gone. Getting a bit frustrated, she ported back to Orgimmar. Everything was different!

WOW! The Cleft of Shadow was completely changed! The tunnel leading out of Orgimmar now held all of the portals. The designer did a great job, What was once a simple tunnel was now the center for portal traffic. Nice.

Now, if only she could add new portals that she doesn't yet have.
