"I was flying through Outland on my way to do the Netherwing quests (and what a painful questline, oh my God) and the lighting in Terokkar Forest happened to catch my eye," writes submitter Augrumn of Iron Edge Clan on Moon Guard (US-H).

A new release of patch 6.2 PTR patch note updates are now available, including several changes to professions and some tweaks to PVP. Alchemy, Fishing, Herbalism, Mining and Skinning all have new updates introduced, and all three gathering professions are now able to sometimes find Felblight, the new crafting reagent, while gathering materials in Tanaan Jungle.

All around Tanaan Jungle are fifteen new Legendary Pets to challenge on a daily basis. The prize at stake is four new pets, plus an achievement (also, glory). This is an overview of all the battles you'll face, plus a map to get you there.

This week's OQ covers guild mergers, better tools for raid leaders, and helping a guild leader who has given up on recruiting.

Looking to add some style to your favorite avian companion? In patch 6.4, Pepe has a new set of costumes to collect.

I think I had beer-basted dwarf back home in Wisconsin once. Or it might have been calamari. It's hard to know exactly what you're eating after a few Leinenkugel's and a basket of cheese curds.

In patch 6.2, we get to add shipyards to our garrisons in order to better assault Tanaan Jungle, fight the Iron Horde, and of course send our ships on missions to bring back all kinds of valuable loot.

A short list of hotfixes for patch 6.1.2 have been released this evening, including a bug fix with one of the achievements for the current holiday event, Children's Week.

Let's assume you have a ton of gold. Let's say you stroll by the auction house and you see that the WoW Token has dropped to around 20,000 gold (in the US it often is below this, in the EU not as of yet) and you decide hey, I've got a ton of gold, I'll buy a year's worth of tokens and so you do. You dump 240,000 gold at the AH, redeem a bunch of tokens and bam, you're paid up for a year. You just saved fifteen dollars a month (again, using US numbers, I know it's different elsewhere in the world) for a whole year, and you're feeling pretty good about it. And there's no reason you shouldn't - that's why the token exists, after all. What I find interesting is to consider all the side ramifications of this deal.
