The Queue: Extended narrative

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

I like how it feels like there’s this little hidden narrative going on in all material related to King’s Row. I don’t know if it’s the same blonde and omnic couple being depicted in every clip, but I like to think it is. I bet they’ve got a really good story to tell.

You don’t need to rush necessarily, but you’ll want to keep progressing towards Exalted if you’d eventually like to have the class mount. Or if you’re like me, and you’re horribly obsessed with having all the green bars on the reputation screen filled up all the way.

Yes. Absolutely yes. 100% yes, and I have no idea why they never implemented those kinds of recipes. I think they’d be far more useful for profession leveling purposes than any gear you can make for yourself, and if they were able to be sold on the Auction House…man that’d just be useful all around. I wish they’d done it!

Given that we didn’t need to farm ridiculous amounts of fire resist gear for the Molten Core anniversary event, I can’t imagine we’d need to trot out the shadow and fire resist again. However, I’m pretty excited about the idea of seeing the full Illidan Stormrage encounter again. He can be easily soloed if people want to go back for old gear — but you never really see all of the fight’s phases that way.

But man, I am not looking forward to fighting Teron again. I remember doing it in Burning Crusade, and it seemed like every week there was at least one wipe because the wrong person got turned into a ghost. And by “wrong person” I mean “that one lazy dude who just didn’t bother studying the mechanics of the fight.”

They do, but only from quests and world quests — straight up killing mobs doesn’t grant them any XP. So they’ll earn XP while out and about in the world with you, but it’s still going to be roughly the same rate as your other followers.

I don’t think there’s any bad luck protection with the satchels — the mounts are just a rare drop from them, same as the rare mounts that drop from raid bosses and the like. If you’re lucky, you’ll see a mount drop. If you’re not so lucky, you’ll be farming reputation for…well, however long it takes.

That’s it for today’s Queue — if you have any questions you’d like to see answered, be sure to leave them in the comments below!
