This post was inspired by two things: seeing that Riot Games are getting back into making tabletop games, and the recent announcement of the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, a sanctioned Wizards of the Coast product featuring the campaign setting seen every week on Critical Role.

First up, this post contains spoilers for the end of the patch 8.3 storyline and Battle for Azeroth as a whole.

With patch 8.3 arriving tomorrow, there are several things you can do now to get a running start with respect to loot, your Heart of Azeroth, and grinding your Auction House rivals into a fine paste.

For anyone looking to swap over to a Vulpera or a Mechagnome for WoW's patch 8.3:, you'll be able to do it at a slightly cheaper cost than usual.

How cold is it you ask? It’s so cold that I heard Bolvar was setting up a new base of operations in the Firelands.

But seriously we’re looking at -35 Celsius temperatures over the next week, and all I want to do is hibernate. I mean I always want to hibernate — bears have the right idea — but more than usual I want to. I’m drinking a giant mug of hot tea, have put on my thickest socks, and have cocooned myself in a giant blanket all so I could be here. The only thing keeping me going is the thought of spending some time in the deserts of Uldum soon. Maybe answering your questions will make me warm.

Let’s Queue!

Maybe I should ask, "What could make you play as a healer?" because I recently healed a dungeon run in World of Warcraft on my Paladin and I couldn't wait to run back to Retribution and never look back.

Blackwing Lair is one of the best raids, and also the most frustrating raids, that World of Warcraft has ever produced.

So I had almost enough questions, and then I asked for questions and suddenly had what is probably too many questions, but I felt bad for asking for them if I didn’t use them so… yeah, I tried to answer a lot of questions.

To mixed results.

So enjoy that!

If you haven't had enough of gear being overly complicated in BFA, I have some great news for you -- in patch 8.3, we're moving away from the simple Titanforging system, where sometimes a piece of gear can drop that's just a little bit better than normal.

The search for Jenafur -- WoW's latest secretive Battle Pet -- has had a small update in a recent hotfix: The cat has grown tentacles.
