Grand Nagus

Talk about GamesCom stream on wednsday, Hearthstone short, Mei short, WoW Shadow of Argus trailer and first ingame cinematic. Lack of Diablo content.
Outlook on 7.3:
Pet Battles
Venture through the raids of Cataclysm to find new battle pets for the much-anticipated achievement, Raiding with Leashes V: Cuteaclysm. You’ll boast about finding a host of mostly elemental pets when you revisit Blackwing Descent, Bastion of Twilight, Throne of the Four Winds, Firelands, and Dragon Soul.
Achievements
  • “Represent”, “Ten Tabards”, “Twenty-Five Tabards” and “Thirty Tabards” now require that a number of unique tabards be obtained. These Achievements no longer require the tabards be equipped.


Artifact Knowledge
  • The Orders are now working together to improve Artifact Knowledge, and Artifact Knowledge now increases every week for everyone at the same rate, without the need to submit work orders.
The Broken Shore now offers an Emissary Quest.
UI changes
  • A “Summon Random Favorite Battle Pet” button has been added to the Pet Journal.

  • Legendary quests now display as orange markers on the world map.

  • Legion dungeon and raid maps now have clickable icons where sub-maps connect, making it easier to navigate between floors.

  • Mount and pet unlocks now have a unique toast.
  • The Dressing Room pane is now larger.


Lightforged Beacon to the Vindicaar (Hub on Argus).


Chromie checking out Argus in the future.


The Vindicaar has a portal back to Dalaran, so you don’t have to use a Hearthstone to go back.
Antorus, the Burning Throne is the new raid on Argus, it will be unlocked at a later date, much like the other Legion Raids. Ion said it will be the last major raid in Legion, but he didn’t say it would be THE LAST.
The Seat of the Triumvirate is a new dungeon coming in Patch 7.3 that will unlock during Week 3.
Invasion Points are public scenarios that require multiple players, with Greater Invasion Points requiring a raid to defeat bosses that drop item level 930 gear.


The Invasion Onslaught (acquire 15 Argus Waystones) and Supplying the Antoran Campaign (complete 10 Invasion points) are weekly quests involve doing Invasion Points.
  • Tier 1 Invasion Points will allow anywhere from 3–10 players within the instance. While you can enter alone, you’ll ideally want to recruit at least two other friends to join you in order to complete the scenario.

  • Tier 2 Invasion Points or Greater Invasion Points, will require a raid to bring down the boss within, but with greater risk, also comes greater reward.

Army of the Light
The Army of the Light offers world quests on Argus, with the normal emissary reward as well.
Argussian Reach
The Argussian Reach faction offers several mounts as a reward.

Hello everyone!


Currently in Kansas City, Missouri, with a bunch of friends preparing for the eclipse!  I have my audio and this week's Blast from the Past attached.


The Blast from the Past is a clip from episode 314 and is just the segment where Aprilian interviews Necronomican, also known as Necro Bob.  I was so surprised to hear how similar his voice was to his "audio drama" submissions!  


Take care everyone, and remember for those of you observing the eclipse to observe safely and DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE ECLIPSE (unless you have special glasses).


--Kyle




Greetings CAW Crew,


Attached is my audio for this week with a few added sound effects even though I had to record on my phone again.


Anyway, more creative ones to come in the future.

Rigarmorty

Compressing hours into minutes at work. Like the episodes of "limitless on tv!"


Watching youtube.com all day long, cinematic trailers, gameplay, in game assets, storylines, ending cinematics for multi edition games.


Spreading yourself too thin with profession, Darkmoon Fair done Wrong, when you have a whole week to do it and you only get 6 hours of actual gameplay to sqeeze a few alts into the fair.  Leveling by quest turn in, 16k exp up and down depending on actual level.  Doing the Feasels on a Level 100 Character as opposed to doing them on a Max Level (110) toon.  You get Exp for pet battle and Quest turn in.   Multiboxing while Darkmoon Fair is happening port over to realm with Different finish time for the fair to get some extra time on the Whee! Buff.  If you ride the Carrousel after the fair ends you cannot add to the time on the buff, tried tested and failed.  Fossil fragment turn in with 3 minutes left. Digging for Archeological finds on a level 40 Mage and a level 101 Monk, 8600 Exp per dig on mage, 136 Exp for Monk with the buff.!?


Pattern : Cindercloth Pants drop from rares in Eastern Kingdoms while farming fragments for the archeological leveling profession to 450 to unlock Tol’vir digs.  Raidbow colored stockings on females with a loincloth.


Vial of the Sands for Kyle, it’s a Win!!!


Grand Nagus

Started new leveling project: Rogue! Lvl 20 atm.
She’s my new RP project as well, her backstory is about her on a killing spree
To kill all and every Blackrock Orc i.e. Horde she can find, because she is one
Of the few survivors of the Stonewatch Keep in Redridge, after the Blackrock
Orcs conquerd it. Her moto is: Leave no Blackrock alive!

Hey all, Kurly here with my submission for Friday August 11th.


So no audio submission this week cuz I be ill and have no voice and really didn't do much in WOW.


All I did do was try, and I repeat, try, to win 4 battle grounds.  In the many BG's I got into the defeats were brutal, total, and full frontal....grrrr, argggg.


That's it for me.....ciao for now!


Kurly


Have a great day!  ðŸ˜„


Good day everyone!


Attached are my audio and the second part from episode 313.  This blast from the past features a Big G interview followed by a warlock story by Donny.  Enjoy!
