Rogues lose stealth in Priestess fight in Magister’s Terrace.

One of the only truly hard fights in MGT (especially in heroic mode) would have to be the 3rd boss, Priestess Delrissa. The fight itself is pretty much untankable and plays more like a really imbalanced 5 vs 5 arena match than anything else. Rogues are taken out of stealth as soon as the mobs [...]

Ask the Spoon: What's with all these Orbs?

Ask the Spoon: What’s with all these Orbs?

FANMAIL! So today’s message comes from Sasuke who writes:
Dear Spooner,
I am a Blood Elf and I ran the new instance yesterday and the orb of the sindorie dropped. Why is this here and what is the difference between the orb of deception?
Thanks for the letter Sasuke. You must be talking about this Orb of Deception [...]

What’s the deal with Magister’s Terrace?

A lot of people are having a hard time in the new 5-man instance, the Magister’s Terrace. I’ve run through the dungeon many times on the PTR and from what pulled off guild members and other friends of mine that have run it on the live servers as well with me on the PTR, the [...]

Patch 24. Sunwell models (recolored)

Patch 24. Sunwell models (recolored)

I’d like to thank mmo-champions for the photoshop work putting all these images into the same frame to make it easier to view.
I think it’s not a big surprise to say that the 2.4 Patch introduced a lot of new item models in the game, most of them aren’t used more than once but there [...]

Steelweave enchant confirmed in new Sunwell 5 man.

Steelweave enchant confirmed in new Sunwell 5 man.

Here you go folks, I brought you the first glimpse of the new Steelweave enchant and now it’s been confirmed to drop off Priestess Delrissa in the Magister’s Terrace in Heroic mode.
The materials required to give this obvious tanking enchant are really cheap considering that the +12 Defense means a tank can socket or enchant [...]

Sunwell boss dialogue released, most speculation confirmed.

You can download them here: Direct Download
From these files you can tell:
1. Entropius is M’uru.
2. Kil’jaeden has 4 phases.
3. Anveena does sacrifice herself and dies but Kalec survives the fight (Kalec does aid the Kil’jaeden fight it seems judging by voice files). ‘You are not alone the blue dragonflight shall help you vanquish the deciever.’
4. [...]

Magister’s Terrace walkthrough: Part 4

Nothing much left after the 3rd boss except one more group pull and then Kael’thas. Although Kael’thas seemed to have died in his encounter in Tempest Keep: The Eye, upon turning in his Verdant Sphere to A’dal, he appears in Shattrath revealing that he survived. He is the final boss of Magisters’ Terrace. He is [...]

Magister’s Terrace walkthrough: Part 3

Welcome to Part 3 of my little guide to the Magister’s Terrace.
Now we’re getting to the real meat of the instance. The most time spent here will be moving from the 2nd boss to the 3rd as there are plenty of big group pulls that can cause a wipe very easily if your CC [...]

Alrighty people here’s another part to my Magister’s Terrace guide. Let’s go to the second boss after the break!

Magister's Terrace walkthrough: Part 1

Magister’s Terrace walkthrough: Part 1

Hello everyone! I figured I spend enough time goofing off on the test realms with my friends that I should write a really simple and basic guide about the new 5 man instance in Patch 2.4, Magister’s Terrace.
This little segment will run four different parts broken up by boss. I’ll explain the pulls and the [...]

Gear changed and tweaked in 2.4 PTRs.

Gear changed and tweaked in 2.4 PTRs.

There were a few changes in the latest PTR build to some of the loot that I reported on this site a while back. Here are the new screenshots courtesy of mo’champs.
The healing trinket that drops in heroic Magister’s Terrace got another minute added to it’s cooldown bringing it more in line (makes sense)

Also the [...]

More loot from Magister's Terrace

More loot from Magister’s Terrace

Just a quick little update on new loot confirmed dropping in the new Sunwell 5-man, Magister’s Terrace. The trinket drops off one of the bosses on heroic, and the chest armor off Kael’thas (presumably on heroic)
 

Magister's Terrace epic loot revealed!

Magister’s Terrace epic loot revealed!

Previously I showcased some of the blues I had seen first hand in my repeated runs through the normal difficulty of the new 5-man instance in patch 2.4, the Magister’s Terrace. Here is a listing of all the confirmed epic loot. As well there’s talk that Kael’thas has (an extremely freaking low chance) a chance [...]

Sneak peek of Magister's Terrace loot (new 5-man intance in Patch 2.4)

Sneak peek of Magister’s Terrace loot (new 5-man intance in Patch 2.4)

One of the biggest changes this patch is bringing is the new questing hub and two instances. More importantly, the new 5-man is infinitely more accessible than the Sunwell Plateau raid dungeon so I figured I would showcase some of the drops in the instance. For the screenshots I didn’t take myself I have to [...]

Sunwell weapon models for your enjoyment

Sunwell weapon models for your enjoyment

As if there was a shortage of 2.4 information flooding the gates, I have MORE!

These are the Sunwell weapon, shield, off-hand items so far. Blizzard has stated many times though that this patch is going to take some time before it goes live so everything is subject to change.

Here are a few of the screenshots from the upcoming patch I was able to reformat to fit this site.

Loregasm: The Sunwell

Loregasm: The Sunwell

Loregasm is another section I will update as much as possible. I am a major freakishly obsessed lore buff with the Warcraft universe; whenever my friends or guild mates have a question they refer to me as the “Rickipedia” of warcraft lore and I oblige with joy to answer them.
Patch 2.4 is upon us [...]

Character Copy still disabled

It’s no secret now that the PTRs are up and running with the flood of screenshots and other information regarding patch 2.4 and the new content. I have spent some time on the PTR myself and have a few screenshots of the new 5 man instance (Magister’s Terrace)
For all of you that are still trying [...]

Sunwell update: new gear confirmations from mmo-champs

The guys over at mmo-champion are bringing in more mined information on loot, spell IDs to confirm the loot being legit, and reports from the european side of things where presumably they have access to the PTRs already. Once more as I write this the PTRs are not available for us in the states.
