The Queue: Chaddius!

by Cory Taylor on January 18, 2021 at 12:00pm @CoryjTaylor

Is there a Steward in all of Bastion as amazing as Chaddius? I’m sure there are some that come close, but I can’t think of any with more personality just hanging out. It’s good that the Steward of the Day rotates otherwise I might just shower Chaddius with all of my extra purians.

Secret Rooms and Lost Dredgers in Torghast make for WoW’s own version of Treasure Goblins

The headline's a little misleading -- it's not actually a treasure goblin, and also it's not technically a goblin, but it's still pretty cool -- but these new Lost Dredger mobs that spawn in Torghast allow you to farm up a lot of Phantasma and can even drop an Anima Cell letting you get even more Anima Powers, which makes your time spent in Torghast a lot easier and more fun.
