Before-Meeting

[12:07 AM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 12:07 AMEönwë Valar: Bah, Eye of Il'gynoth keeps resetting for no apparent reason.

[12:34 AM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 12:34 AMEönwë Valar: Well, with careful use of defensive cooldowns (including the Remix Time one to speed up their recovery) I was able to survie Ursoc's Onslaught, bringing me up to 5/7 for bosses beat in Emerald Nightmare.

[12:36 AM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 12:36 AMEönwë Valar: Il'gynoth keeps resetting if I get too far from the center of the fight, and Xaviius is still a little too tough, though I got him below 50% this time.. (edited)Sunday, October 19, 2025 12:54 AM

[1:22 AM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 1:22 AMEönwë Valar: Timed a Mythic+2 Neltharion's Lair... but it doesn't look like it gave me any Infinite Power. That's going to be sad.

[1:23 AM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 1:23 AMEönwë Valar: It upgraded my key to Mythic+3 Eye of Azshara.

[1:37 AM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 1:37 AMEönwë Valar: I hate the steering on these boats.

[1:40 AM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 1:40 AMEönwë Valar: And the quest isn't even activating.

[2:58 AM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:58 AMEönwë Valar: Narloth: "I'm just gonna put on this mask and sneak through so nobody has to start anything. Everybody wins."

[2:58 AM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:58 AMEönwë Valar: Random Detector: "What are you hiding?"

[3:54 AM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:54 AMEönwë Valar: Bah, I hate mind control gimmicks.

[3:55 AM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:55 AMEönwë Valar: Long stuns are bad enough solo.

[2:02 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:02 PMEönwë Valar: Give me a minute then we'll begin.

[2:14 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:14 PMAr-Pharazon-V: I know Fladrif's still around, at least, have seen him log off of bnet

Web

2:16 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:16 PMEönwë Valar: Nothing new this week, so I'll just say that there's still time to send in contributions to celebrate the Anniversary. Stories, Poetry, Art, Articles. Tell Varda that's what it's for when you send it in.

[2:19 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:19 PMEönwë Valar: This year's contributions:

[2:20 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:20 PMEönwë Valar: The Article by "Author" is a real good one. Fine detail.

[2:20 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:20 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Not a fault to be found.

[2:21 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:21 PMEönwë Valar: Best poem on the list is Arien's "Tree Time."

[2:21 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:21 PMEönwë Valar: And that photograph of an Entwife in her natural habitat. Don't know how you managed it, Phar.

[2:22 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:22 PMAr-Pharazon-V: She welcomed it as good publicity.

[2:23 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:23 PMAr-Pharazon-V: I hope it gets her more customers!

[2:24 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:24 PMArien Valar: its not too bad for a bit of dribble

Gaming

World of Warcraft:

[2:25 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:25 PMEönwë Valar: This week's bonus event: Warlords of Draenor Timewalking.

[2:26 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:26 PMEönwë Valar: Hallow's End is going until November 1st, and there's some new stuff. " Hallow’s End celebrates the break of the Forsaken from the Scourge. Fun and mischief reign as the Innkeepers of Azeroth dole out treats and tricks for those seeking to partake in the festivities."

[2:26 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:26 PMEönwë Valar: Looks like alts can run Headless Horseman to speed up getting the transmog set he drops.

[2:27 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:27 PMEönwë Valar: So I may have spent a few minutes outside of Legion Remix last night, hehehe.

[2:27 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:27 PMAr-Pharazon-V: " and one of these random petrifying pieces is guaranteed to drop each day"

[2:28 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:28 PMAr-Pharazon-V: I suppose alts might give an extra chance, though?

[2:28 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:28 PMEönwë Valar: I ran 4-5 chars total, each one got a piece.

[2:29 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:29 PMEönwë Valar: Auros, Calauros, Ranelus, Kalmo, Calauras, and Aurast. Ok, so 6. 2 Paladins, 2 Hunters, a Rogue and a Crit Chicken.

[2:30 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:30 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Anything starting with Cal still sounds like one of mine.

[2:31 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:31 PMAr-Pharazon-V: I know I don't have a monopoly but it still looks weird

[2:33 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:33 PMEönwë Valar: Check out WoW Weekly for anything not mentioned above. ---

[2:33 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:33 PMEönwë Valar: Check out this week's hotfixes.

[2:33 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:33 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Oh, someone linked a map of the Elwynn housing area, I'll try to find it.

[2:34 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:34 PMEönwë Valar: Read during the week for the adventures of Narloth as she makes her way through Legion Remix. So far she's 5/7 bosses down in Emerald Nightmare Normal and she's timed a Mythic+2, both solo.

[2:36 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:36 PMEönwë Valar: I would've tried Trial of Valor, but after seeing the first boss fight is 2 bosses and remembering they have to be split up or they get 99% damage reduction, I knew that wasn't happening for a while.

[2:37 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:37 PMArien Valar: i ve started a time runner too

[2:37 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:37 PMArien Valar: Tarahnor a be dea5thknight

[2:39 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:39 PMEönwë Valar: Red's got her campaign done and she's up to 21 Infinite Knowledge, so when Tuesday brings the new content she's ready.

[2:40 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:40 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Calyaxa's up to level 50 now, but she's getting there!

[2:42 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:42 PMSandalf13: Aiya All! Spent 4 hours yesterday in the garden. Had to harvest all the remaining soft vegetables, as we had our first frost of the season last night. Down to 31 Grad F. The snow line is slowly moving down the mountains; we should see some here in Thornton before the end of October.

[2:42 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:42 PMEönwë Valar: Just for fun, a new screenshot of my Remix Ladies in Arathi armor. Red's is her official armor, for now at least.

[2:42 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:42 PMAr-Pharazon-V: If the snowline moves down too fast, you might want to get away from the avalanche.

Diablo IV:

[2:44 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:44 PMEönwë Valar: The 2.5.0 PTR goes up from October 21st to October 28th.

[2:44 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:44 PMEönwë Valar: Changes are coming with Season 11. Many changes, it seems.

[2:44 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:44 PMEönwë Valar: Can't comment if they good, bad, or indifferent, but they're overhauling systems, so it's big.

Diablo Immortal:

Overwatch 2:

[2:45 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:45 PMEönwë Valar: Overwatch 2: A new Weekly Recall is out: Go Go Gadgets!

StarCraft 2:

[SC2 gamers this past week gaming together: Anarion, Eowyn Fangorn, Varda. Also Faramir.)

[2:46 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:46 PMEönwë Valar: And because I would be remiss to not to...

Lord of the Rings Online:

[2:47 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:47 PMEönwë Valar: Lord of the Rings Online:

["The 15th Legendary Items Reward Track is being extended through December 2nd, turning off with the downtime on December 3rd or 9:59 AM Eastern, whichever is first. This extension will allow the 16th Legendary Items Reward Track to debut with the release of Kingdoms of Harad and its new level cap of 160."

[2:48 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:48 PMEönwë Valar: You have until downtime kicks in or 9:59am eastern, whichever comes first, so they can launch the new track with the expansion.

[2:49 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:49 PMEönwë Valar: Any other news before we move to Tolkien?

Tolkien

[2:54 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:54 PMEönwë Valar: Closest I could get on short notice.

[2:54 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:54 PMSandalf13: Good one, on such short notice, too.

[2:54 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:54 PMEönwë Valar: Next time we'll book further ahead and we might be able to get

[2:55 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:55 PMSandalf13: The last Roschach test that I saw showed two similar images, and asked the viewer which one they preferred. Serial killers all selected the first one.

[2:56 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:56 PMEönwë Valar: Yeah, I'd question who'd pick the first of these two images too.

[2:56 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:56 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Well, the lighting is good?

[2:57 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:57 PMArien Valar: i think technically its made perfect for the purpose 2:57 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:57 PMArien Valar: scary , threateni ng and bigger than what she has been originally

[2:58 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:58 PMArien Valar: and i understand that Galadriel was not one of the smallest to start with

[2:58 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 2:58 PMEönwë Valar: Well yeah, but if you asked someone "We're gonna sit you down with an Elf woman. Which one do you prefer?" Picking the first one is the wrong answer, heh.

[3:00 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:00 PMEönwë Valar: It was a good scene in a movie that had to play it up for effect, but of the three Galadriels to meet, that's the second one you'd choose :}

[3:01 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:01 PMEönwë Valar: Yes, that was a veiled slam on Rings of Power :}

[3:02 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:02 PMEönwë Valar: You'd pick Ring Galadriel over that :}

[3:03 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:03 PMAr-Pharazon-V: She looks a bit Eowyn in that.

[3:03 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:03 PMArien Valar: sigh .. don t remind me of that caricature of Tolkien hehe

[3:04 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:04 PMArien Valar: i said if you forget its supposed to be tolkien its solid fantasy with some nice mascerade its decent and i stand to that lol

[3:04 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:04 PMSandalf13: I would pick this one... Image in Discord.

[3:04 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:04 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Oh that is a big doggy. Taivan vibes.

[3:06 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:06 PMEönwë Valar: Although I remember seeing some videos showing how badly choreographed the fights were, that scene above included.

[3:08 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:08 PMSandalf13: I still fail to understand why so many 20-somethings that I have talked to recently have not READ the LoTR...they said they saw the movie, and that was enough.

[3:08 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:08 PMArien Valar: the fights in The Fellowship movie got a big praise from a very critical history documentarist and re-enactor who knows his business

[3:08 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:08 PMAr-Pharazon-V: I remember people complaining about the LotR and Hobbit movies, and my conclusion then was also that if that troubles you, just treat it as a separate Tolkien-inspired work.

[3:09 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:09 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Actually, that's how I viewed the Warcraft movie as well.

[3:09 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:09 PMAr-Pharazon-V: I suppose Rings of Power is just more of that

[3:09 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:09 PMArien Valar: apparently the weapons trainer for the movies is a medieval re-enactor as well

[3:10 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:10 PMSandalf13: Speaking of the Rings of Power, did anyone get a chance to look at the video I posted some time ago?

[3:10 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:10 PMArien Valar: oh yeah Phari you have to especially after i read Rise of the Horde during my stay at my mother in Germany again hehe

[3:10 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:10 PMEönwë Valar: The Warcraft movie wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible. I think it did fine with all the things it had to try and show to reflect a fuller world than was indicated in the original Warcraft game.

[3:10 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:10 PMSandalf13: https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?PC=U523%2CU316&q=frodo+watching+the+Rings+of+power+video&ru=%2Fsearch%3FFORM%3DU523DF%26PC%3DU523%26q%3Dfrodo%2Bwatching%2Bthe%2BRings%2Bof%2Bpower%2Bvideo%26PC%3DU316%26FORM%3DCHROMN&mmscn=vwrc&mid=021AE21252CC548C1827021AE21252CC548C1827&FORM=WRVORC&ntb=1&msockid=60c41704ad3811f0a21af1c6d7948dd2

[3:11 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:11 PMEönwë Valar: I think it was better than most movies based on games.

[3:13 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:13 PMEönwë Valar: Ok, so that's the topic today: Pick an Elf to sit down and have a chat with, and tell us why.

[3:14 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:14 PMSandalf13: Cirdan. I would love to have him chat about all the Elves (and a few others) that he has ferried from Middle-earth to Valinor.

[3:16 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:16 PMEönwë Valar: I think I would say Maedhros. He really seemed to do his best to walk the line of reason while honoring his father and keeping his brothers in line.

[3:17 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:17 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Tough one. I think I'll go for Elrond, as a scholar and collector. Pick his brain about history.

[3:20 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:20 PMEönwë Valar: Choosing old Elves like Cirdan, or loremasters like Elrond, would certainly present alot to ask about.

[3:20 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:20 PMAr-Pharazon-V: That said, I was considering a few of the old Book of Lost Tales storytellers as well, for similar reasons

[3:22 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:22 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Was more thinking Lindo and Vaire.

[3:25 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:25 PMSandalf13: Rumil would be a good one also, yes?

[3:25 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:25 PMArien Valar: I think I would like to chat with Legolas and talk with him about his experiences with hobbits or hobbit like creatures nod

[3:26 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:26 PMArien Valar: Right gang .. I have to give up I fear .. after two early shifts in a row

[3:27 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:27 PMSandalf13: Oy weh. Sleep well, Arien! Namarie!

[3:27 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:27 PMEönwë Valar: I think with everyone having chimed in, now's a good time to bang the gavel.

[3:27 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:27 PMEönwë Valar: Raises gavel way into the air

After-Meeting

[3:28 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:28 PMSandalf13: "Bang the Gavel,,," sounds like a good name for a game show, or a Broadway play.

[3:28 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:28 PMEönwë Valar: Everyone is free to stay or go as their needs dictate :}

[3:28 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:28 PMSandalf13: "Should I stay or should I go?"

[3:28 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:28 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Bang the Gavel, a riveting broadway musical about a court case.

[3:29 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:29 PMSandalf13: With a chorus line, no doubt.

[3:29 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:29 PMEönwë Valar: "If I go there will be trouble, but if I stay there will be double."

[3:32 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:32 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Egh, there was a Dutch song based on that which was just... awful. And probably not suitable for Valar.

[3:38 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:38 PMSandalf13: Ooooops...need to get to the store for dinner before closing time...."I will return."

[3:39 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:39 PMEönwë Valar: Got some music responses, but I'm double-checking the lyrics to make sure it's suitable to share, heh.

[3:43 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:43 PMEönwë Valar: Well, not really responses, but just songs the "stay or go" has me thinking of, heh. And one I think works, but the other not so much. So you get the "Stay" one :}

[3:44 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:44 PMAr-Pharazon-V: That sounds like an anime intro or something

[3:45 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:45 PMEönwë Valar: I'm about 90% sure it was.

[3:45 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:45 PMEönwë Valar: I just don't know which one.

[5:08 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 5:08 PMEönwë Valar: Well, looks like I've got the Horseman's Ghoulish Collection (Green) from the Headless Horseman.

[5:09 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 5:09 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Nice Now just need the mount!

[5:09 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 5:09 PMEönwë Valar: Hehe, yeah, and no amount of alts running will help me with that. (edited)Sunday, October 19, 2025 5:10 PM

[5:11 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 5:11 PMEönwë Valar: Hmm, so I can favorite entire sets..

[9:11 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:11 PMEönwë Valar: Think I just found something I hadn't found in Legion the first time.

[9:12 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:12 PMEönwë Valar: Got the "Going Up" Achievement.

[9:12 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:12 PMAr-Pharazon-V: I have a feeling I've done that. I certainly remember exploring the tower.

[9:15 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:15 PMAr-Pharazon-V: For (non)flashgaming, several fun short-ish games this week, let's go with...

[9:16 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:16 PMEönwë Valar: Oh, apparently I did it on Auros after all.

[9:16 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:16 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Kongregate - Snowball is an action/survival game where you have to survive against waves of yetis.

[9:16 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:16 PMEönwë Valar: 8 years ago, so you can understand how I might forget, heh.

[9:17 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:17 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Shovel snow around to collect it, and either build defenses with them, or throw snowballs directly at the yetis.

[9:17 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:17 PMAr-Pharazon-V: The longer you survive, the tougher the yetis get!

[9:20 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:20 PMAr-Pharazon-V: A good way to do it is by building turrets around the sides and then luring the yetis between them rather than letting them destroy the turrets.

[9:23 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:23 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Hearthstone: Level 139 on the reward track. Expansion coming soon, so I wonder how far I'll get!

[9:23 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:23 PMAr-Pharazon-V: As expected, there's a new quest event in preparation for the next expansion, involving the Timeways. The story text even involves the Hallow's End event having been early, as an indication that time is going a bit wrong

[9:25 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:25 PMAr-Pharazon-V: The main quests are the usual: turns, minions, cards. The daily quests involve using stuff from different recent expansions, though, which is interesting.

[9:25 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:25 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Also interesting is the scoring system... rather than the usual points, you're collecting time energy into crystals in seemingly random and unrounded numbers, making it a bit hard to calculate how much you actually need in days/quests to be done

[9:26 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:26 PMAr-Pharazon-V: I think it's around the same as usual though.

[9:27 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:27 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Rewards are various cards from the upcoming expansion, and a Nozdormu skin for... paladin? Interesting choice.

[9:27 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:27 PMAr-Pharazon-V: I guess they can't all be mages, though

[9:28 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:28 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Brawl is an old Hallow's End classic: Rise of the Zombeasts. Each player is the death knight version of Rexxar, crafting custom zombeasts with a deck of rare zombeasts and hunter spells. Luck needed!

[9:29 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:29 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Warcraft Rumble: Finally a new collection level, 63! As expected, more mini levels coming in.

[9:31 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:31 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Login Reward Track is complete, and in its place we've gotten last year's Hallow's End event, with various Darkshire maps and bosses, and a lot of challenges. However, some of them are bugged: A few challenges have become daily challenges, which you have to complete or they reset or disappear. Among them is the daily login, which means you can only do the first day every time, getting the minimum amount of tickets. It's quite silly.

[9:32 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:32 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Also, there's a lot of tickets for collecting and upgrading the Headless Horseman, but that one doesn't work at all; maybe because we've already had it for a year and collecting new stars doesn't count, but also it seems that upgrading the quality now doesn't work either.

[9:33 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:33 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Most of the challenges are doable through pvp, dungeons and the Darkshire missions, though, and while we're probably not able to get enough tickets to get through the entire track this time, working on what we can do does give a good amount of gold, stars and tomes. So it still helps.

[9:34 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:34 PMAr-Pharazon-V: It also makes it easier not to worry too much about optimizing the heck out of it, and just being happy to grab the rewards I can

[9:35 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:35 PMAr-Pharazon-V: And with a new season started, getting that pvp done also helps for the new pvp reward track, which also gives some good boosts.

[9:36 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:36 PMAr-Pharazon-V: For upgrades, I got 3 more minis through the 90k experience track and into the last 200k track. The moonkin (yet another cenarion mini!), the molten giant and the ogre mage.

[9:37 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:37 PMAr-Pharazon-V: I also got enough stars to upgrade the Polymorph spell and the Alliance/Cenarion leader Malfurion to epic quality, followed by grabbing their last talents. So that's good progress also!

[9:40 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:40 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Some more raiding, some more loot. There's one boss who drops a cosmetic cloak that's guaranteed, but everyone in the raid can roll for it; I'm one of the last 3 people left who doesn't have it yet, but I'm sure it can happen any week now Also got a new weapon for feral spec, another heroic tier piece, and I outgrew all crests except gilded. Now well over 700!

[9:41 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:41 PMAr-Pharazon-V: I can't complain about the cosmetic though, I was the very first to get the custom hearthstone in the Undermine raid

[9:43 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:43 PMAr-Pharazon-V: The weekly quest is timewalks, and I was worried I'd lose too much time on that, but my first pug group for the week was so strong, we pushed through 4 timewalks in the time of about 1

[9:44 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:44 PMAr-Pharazon-V: And the Hallow's End event has started as well, where I've gotten 2 of the new set's pieces. I also found out there's about 300 treats worth old appearances to buy that were originally horseman drops that I couldn't use, so I might see about hunting some buckets later on.

[9:46 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:46 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Continuing delves! Still going through them smoothly, and have reached level 9 on the Delver's Journey. About 2k points to go for level 10, and about 2k undercoins to buy all the cosmetics. So I give it about a week, max. That'll also leave me with about 60 flickergates done out of 100, and give me room to do fast easy delves for the last 40.

[9:46 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:46 PMAr-Pharazon-V: And finally, more Legion Remix! Or Lemix for short!

[9:50 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:50 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Calyaxa, my tauren timerunner from Sanctuary, has now reached level 50. She's been going strong in heroic difficulty, and got about 2 and a half storylines done in Azsuna, and is progressing in her warrior class campaign. Most of her time is spent on the Research assignments though, and she's been through some dungeons as a result.

[9:51 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:51 PMAr-Pharazon-V: I'm starting to wonder if I'm spending too much time on the research, in the hope of actually catching up and capping them, while not spending enough time on the actual quests. Tjere

[9:52 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:52 PMAr-Pharazon-V: *There's a few I can do while questing, though, so that's something, but stuff like the dungeons and hunting orbs and herbs and lost demons doesn't really work that way.

[9:53 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:53 PMAr-Pharazon-V: If there's really only 3-4 new ones a day, it should be catchup-able though.

[9:56 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:56 PMEönwë Valar: Usually the research can be done in the process of questing, but I probably wouldn't focus too much on capping while you're levelling up.

[9:58 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:58 PMAr-Pharazon-V: It does give good xp though!

[9:59 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:59 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Also, today I found out that there's new cow models coming in Midnight. If there's an actual cow mount... would it be weird to have a black and white tauren on one of those?

[9:59 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:59 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Cow model" for a quick look at the model.

[9:59 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 9:59 PMEönwë Valar: Like a fox riding a fox with fox clothes and a fox pet.

[10:00 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 10:00 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Well she is using a Pygmy Cow for a pet

[10:00 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 10:00 PMAr-Pharazon-V: I like to pretend it's her kid

[10:01 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 10:01 PMEönwë Valar: Well if people are asking for cow mounts it's time for me to post a thread for a flying turtle mount.

[10:01 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 10:01 PMAr-Pharazon-V: And yes, lots of room for suggestions

[10:03 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 10:03 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Anyway, that's my report for the week!

[10:04 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 10:04 PMEönwë Valar: Those Horseman armors really do have a good Paladin vibe, minus the helm.

[10:04 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 10:04 PMAr-Pharazon-V: It needs a holy colored pumpkin head.

[10:05 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 10:05 PMEönwë Valar: Just to be funny, I might transmog that for a while if they did.

[10:05 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 10:05 PMEönwë Valar: I refuse to rhyme, however.

[10:06 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 10:06 PMAr-Pharazon-V: See my face and look in fright, at the power of the Light!

[10:10 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 10:10 PMEönwë Valar: Though it may be pale in hue, this pumpkin shall never pass its due.

[10:10 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 10:10 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Good selling line for the entwife!

[10:13 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 10:13 PMEönwë Valar: Though the flame be hot to handle, as kobolds say, "You no take candle!" :}

[10:13 PM]Sunday, October 19, 2025 10:13 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Ooh, I could see them using that

[12:07 AM]Monday, October 20, 2025 12:07 AMEönwë Valar: Arg, even when I think I'm doing fine, this fight resets for no reason.

[1:15 AM]Monday, October 20, 2025 1:15 AMEönwë Valar: Ok so apparently I completed a Mythic+5 Eye of Azshara (was expecting only +3 because I didn't expect it could upgrade more than one level, but not going to complain about that part), but I didnt get awarded any achievements, and apparently even the Keystone Initiate achievement I'd completed with the +2 is no longer showing as completed.

[1:16 AM]Monday, October 20, 2025 1:16 AMEönwë Valar: If It were awarded properly, that should be enough to give me my Green Flame Ashbringer.

[7:23 PM]Monday, October 20, 2025 7:23 PMEönwë Valar: I can't really tell what I'm supposed to be going for now. The achievement says complete Balance of Power and complete a +5. Everything I read online says +15.

[8:11 PM]Monday, October 20, 2025 8:11 PMAr-Pharazon-V: I do remember it as +15 in original Legion, though it might be different in Remix.

[9:53 PM]Monday, October 20, 2025 9:53 PMEönwë Valar: If you go to the artifact hub in retail, the achievement now lists a +5 (as you said, used to be +15) so I've been expecting that to be the case.

[9:54 PM]Monday, October 20, 2025 9:54 PMEönwë Valar: If we're not going to get the appropriate credit to trigger the awarding of the skin, I'm not sure how we're supposed to get it at that point.

[9:55 PM]Monday, October 20, 2025 9:55 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Might be +15 then, yes, at least during remix.

[9:55 PM]Monday, October 20, 2025 9:55 PMEönwë Valar: In theory, all that should be stopping me is if it requires completing "Balance of Power" on the same char.

[9:55 PM]Monday, October 20, 2025 9:55 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Should be soloable enough with enough power.

[9:55 PM]Monday, October 20, 2025 9:55 PMAr-Pharazon-V: Oh, yes, that makes sense too, since it's a variation on the same appearance, isn't it?

[9:56 PM]Monday, October 20, 2025 9:56 PMAr-Pharazon-V: You might need the "core" appearance for it on the same character to get the variations.

[9:57 PM]Monday, October 20, 2025 9:57 PMEönwë Valar: We'll find out as soon as I can complete the quest due to the raid requirements.

[9:58 PM]Monday, October 20, 2025 9:58 PMEönwë Valar: Just a bit annoyed I thought I had some visual markers on progress to go by and they're not there.

[10:23 PM]Monday, October 20, 2025 10:23 PMEönwë Valar: By the list of raids, by the time I clear Balance of Power I ought to be able to run a Mythic+15.

[1:24 AM]Tuesday, October 21, 2025 1:24 AMEönwë Valar: Incoming bad joke. You were warned.

[1:27 AM]Tuesday, October 21, 2025 1:27 AMEönwë Valar: In Legion there's a group called the Valarjar that you can earn reputation with. And what are the Valarjar, you might ask? That's where we keep the Valarsic pickles.

[2:07 AM]Tuesday, October 21, 2025 2:07 AMEönwë Valar: 50 points in the final trait, which means 150% damage given and 25% less damage taken.

[2:17 AM]Tuesday, October 21, 2025 2:17 AMEönwë Valar: Got Ursoc down with only 1 Divine Shield. Now the question is can I beat Il'gynoth before it bugs out on me.

[2:32 AM]Tuesday, October 21, 2025 2:32 AMEönwë Valar: That gives me 6/7. Time to see if I can get Xavius down.

[3:00 AM]Tuesday, October 21, 2025 3:00 AMEönwë Valar: Bah, so close to beating Xavius.

[6:02 AM]Tuesday, October 21, 2025 6:02 AMEönwë Valar: There, just barely got Xavius before he mind controlled me again.

[6:03 AM]Tuesday, October 21, 2025 6:03 AMEönwë Valar: Emerald Nightmare (Normal): 7/7 :}

[6:07 AM]Tuesday, October 21, 2025 6:07 AMEönwë Valar: Interesting how the Llothien Prowler mount we get is a fox, and the Llothien Prowler we fight is an owlion.

[6:15 AM]Tuesday, October 21, 2025 6:15 AMEönwë Valar: "Careful friend. It may take some time to earn the Nightfallen's trust."
