So who's saving up $5 mill gold for the limited-time Fungal Strider mount, coming in 12.1.5? While it comes with mail & repair/vendor, you can optionally purchase auctioneer and transmog NPCs for 1.5 mill & 500k* gold, respectively. (*or you can buy an existing transmog yak for 120k gold 😜)

I'm gonna say Archmage's Familiar is actually a mage in disguise. Or! Maybe a spell backfired, so now they're stuck as a cat :3

Is Archmage's Familiar a true cat? No interaction with the Pilfered Sweeper toy, and doesn't respond to /sit emote (other cats do, like the Feline Familiar)

October's Trading Post has 3 mounts, each for 700 Tender. Bilebound Ur'zul (left) is new; the Ghastly Charger (right) is new to TP, but is also part of the TCG and was also part of a Twitter Promo in 2024. Finally, the Headless Horseman's Hallowed Charger (middle) was available in Oct last year.
A montage of three mounts available in the October Trading Post. From left to right: (i) Bilebound Ur'zul - a monstrous, green four-legged beast with skeletal bat wings and where its head should be a series of tormented Draenei faces emerge; (ii) The Headless Horseman's Hallowed Charger - a demonic horse in dark armour but with pale lemon-coloured  flows of supernatural energy surrounding its hooves and lower legs, and emanating from its eyes; (iii) Ghastly Charger - a glowing blue, ghostly skeletal steed with some spectral outlines of where its flesh and tail used to be.

Since Blizzard didn't provide a full October Trading Post preview, I guess the job has fallen to content creators. Sucks extra for me, because a late notice means now I have to scramble to add the new pet to WarcraftPets (Archmage's Familiar, will cost 350 Tendies)

Been caught up watching my partner play Control Resonant so I'm behind on Cursed Surges, but I did manage to set time aside for nails. Two very shifty shimmers, no time for magnetics this week

Control Resonant has been fantastic so far! I've been watching my partner play (bought it for him as an anniversary gift) because I enjoy being an observer more than anything hehe. My thoughts so far (no story spoilers): (cont.)

I hope we get a proper, full preview of October's Trading Post, and this small summarized preview isn't the new norm. With how limited and scarce Tendies are, I'd like to be able to plan ahead and know how much I need to save/can spend worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/news/2...

Mini-pets hidden in journal until collected in WoW:F. Blizz hates collectors ig? shrug this is a huge turn off for me and makes me even less inclined to play Forever.
text: "So items in the Collection UI in WoW Forever are flagged as "Hidden Until Collected".

Basically, you can't just scroll through the appearance, mount, toy and pet collections to see everything that's available. You actually have to discover them first."

64 attempts on Heroic Ula'tek but I swear it feels like more. Got her down to 1.8% but no dice tonight. I don't find it an enjoyable encounter at all sigh.

The feral druid guide writer on Wowhead had a full on crash out re: latest class tuning lmao. But yenno what, fair. Sucks to be a neglected class and/or feel like Blizz has no idea what to do with you. My fav part is that the tuning = the kitty isn't going to get fed or picked up 😹😿
text: "These buffs are fairly insignificant, it's a small buff that doesn't really alter the status quo for hero talents in raid, where you should be playing DOTC unless you're getting PI in which case you play WS anyway, or M+, where you can play kind of whatever you want though people will continue to play DOTC.

I can only assume that whoever is in charge of balancing has a cat that's pissing them off this tier (and the last like 7). It's confusing what has happened to Feral's tuning, the spec has consistently wallowed at the bottom of the statistics chart and just as consistently been overlooked for buffs, I don't think at any point has the spec made it past the bottom 3 in the overall statistics. You may say that "clearly Feral is a single target spec, check the Boss damage statistics", and it's clear that Feral Druid doesn't even excel there."text: "Feral Druid doesn't even excel there. We've floated between lower top quartile and the median. If Feral Druid actually excelled in single target while being garbage at other stuff, it might be ok, but instead it's the worst of both worlds. Since these are the last scheduled tuning notes for the season and we've already seen the tuning changes for 12.1.5 (feral not included), any cats out there hoping to have a tune-up should put away their begging bowls, the 5 second rule has passed (or 5 week rule in this case) and we're clearly not being picked up.

If you're an M+ focused feral, then it's a bit of a good news/bad news situation. Good news - congratulations! Most of the complaints above don't focus on you and you're playing the content we're good at! Bad news - the buffs don't really do anything either."

Saw this meme. Prob in the minority but I don't want to "retire" in *any* version of Classic WoW. I'd rather "retire" in the game I currently play, and innovative/updated content/features come to Retail instead of having to play another version just to experience them?? 🤷

Hot take: Swatch content of nail polish on press-on/acrylic nails is kinda misleading and I wish brands wouldn't feature those photos on their listings. No hate on ppl who have falsies. Just wish brands would provide more accurate depictions of their polishes.
