Ten things you could buy instead of the $60 Warcraft Rumble Prince Arthas pack

Warcraft Rumble players are headed to the Icecrown Citadel to face off against the Lich King in Season 13, so prep your team and get ready to hit the frozen battlefield for an epic clash against one of the most iconic foes in the Warcraft universe — oh, and bring your wallet to unlock the ability to see his hair. While participating in the current Arthas Reforged event will be enough to unlock the hero, you’ll have to shell out some cold hard cash for the helmetless Prince Arthas skin, with the most expensive option being a $59.99 bundle that includes some power-ups and frozen tower skins as well.

If you’re a Rumblehead and this appeals to you — that’s great! Enjoy forcing a young and conflicted Prince Arthas to fast forward straight to the horde of corpses stage of his career. If not, we have some suggestions for some other items that you might wish to purchase with your gaming allowance. You could check out our most recent What to Play This Weekend recommendations and pick up The First Berserker: Khazan instead. Alternatively, you could get all three of the other titles on the list.

If you’re looking to change your own appearance to match the long, flowing locks of Prince Arthas, you could can find a decent quality long blonde wig. If you’ve already got the hairstyle down, you can pick up a foam Frostmourne. Top-tier cosplayers who already have both can spend their $60 on skull studs to adorn their armor. You can trade quality for quantity, but ten of these should be enough to complete any Lich King look.

Spring is in the air in the northern hemisphere, so an itch to go dig around in the ground might be something you’ll need to address in the next few weeks. You can fill your yard with Arthas’ Tears, which quite closely resemble the Asiatic Tango Lily. 18 bulbs should be enough to brighten up your flowerbeds without attracting a flock of bot farmers. If you’ve got an existing garden, you can afford a metallic blue pair of pruners as well as these icy claw-gloves that look like something the Lich King would actually wear while tending the windowboxes atop Icecrown Citadel.

There’s always our old stand-by for comparison — you can afford 8,300 googly eyes for $60. If the sight of Arfus tugs on your heart strings, you can donate your allowance to a local shelter. My local animal rescue league’s website suggest that $60 would buy a few toys, treats, and vaccines for pups in need. Finally, if you feel the need to command your own swarm of minions, you can get two of these ant farms with icy-blue gel to place on either side of your monitor as you face off against the Lich King.
