What’s it like to pull a Spectral Tiger?

December 18, 2013 By Garwulf Leave a Comment

Spectral Tiger is the most sought after loot card ever produced for the WoW TCG, along with being the most valuable. Over 6 years have passed since this item was introduced into the game and it still sells for over $500.

Check current prices for the Spectral Tiger on eBay.

Pulling one from a pack is not unlike winning big with a lottery scratcher. This loot card still fetches a premium price for those who wish to sell it rather than use it, but what a decision that would be, am I right?!

I've never been fortunate enough to pull a Spectral Tiger loot card myself, but it's probably something like this...

Warning: The reactions to the pulls are spontaneous and uncensored in most cases, so you may want to cover your ears or reach for the ear muffs if kids are in the room. 😉

WoW TCG Reign of Fire Box Break

Spectral Tiger at 10:57

Reign of Fire was the last expansion set released for the WoW TCG. Instead of creating new loot for the set, Blizzard and Cryptozoic decided to toss in every single loot card that existed for the TCG! 60 possible loots in all! This lucky guy managed to snag a Spectral Tiger from his box. This guy grabs what looks like the last unopened pack and...BOOM!

Several minutes into the video this guy finally pulls a Spectral Tiger. His reaction is priceless.

This video features a live Archives box break where the player already has the loot in hand from a previous pull. He's trying to score another so he can sell it and get some new sneakers. So, does he get lucky..? FF to 5:48 and see. 😉

WoW TCG Loot Items are Alive and Well

November 16, 2013 By Garwulf Leave a Comment

The TCG is no More, but the Loot Lives On!

The World of WarCraft Trading Card game is no longer being produced, but the loot items will continue to be redeemable, and it's safe to say that certain loots will likely become more valuable than ever. Unless they decide to introduce randomized loot code rewards in HearthStone, the future of exclusive WoW loot will mainly be limited to the Blizzard store, and events such as BlizzCon. Apart from the Black Market Auction House, it's possible that the WoW TCG loot cards that are floating around right now may be the only way to grab ahold of these loots in the future.

Based on the announcements made at this year's BlizzCon, World of WarCraft looks like it's going to be around for some time. It's safe to say that some of these loot cards might actually be a good investment, if only to sell on the auction house at a later date for some serious in-game gold.

Betrayal of the Guardian Loot Feature

November 11, 2013 By Garwulf Leave a Comment

With the release of Betrayal of the Guardian, WoW players were given their last taste of new TCG loot. Although Reign of Fire was actually the last expansion set, it contained only reissued loot.

What a great assortment of loot though! This last trio of new loots is one of the best ever!

Betrayal of the Guardian Loot Cards:

Ghostly Charger - Rare flying mount (1/242 packs)
Dark Portal Hearthstone - Super uncommon hearthstone replacement item (1/121 packs)
Floating Spellbook - Very common pet loot (1/11 packs)

Mists of Pandaria Pet Battle Updates

March 20, 2012 By Garwulf 1 Comment

Blizzard held a press event yesterday, sharing all sorts of juicy updates about what's to come in Mists of Pandaria. Among the deluge of news...some insight into how the Pet Battle System is shaping up.

Here are a few key updates regarding the pet battle system...

Player involvement in pet battles is planned to be totally anonymous. Player names will not be shown, and in addition, there will be no chat - or interaction of any kind - between players.
PvP Pet Battle losses will not be recorded - only the wins will be tracked. The intention is for PvP pet battles to feel fun and casual.
When you challenge another player while out in the world, your interface will transition to the Pet Battle UI. When the pet battle is over, the UI will return to the normal gameplay view.
When entering a PvP Pet Battle, players will see each other's characters across from one another, along with the player's pets lined up in front of them.
PvP Pet Battles will feel like an NPC encounter, except in this case, the NPC will seem much more intelligent and less predictable.
Pets will be swappable during battles - even while in the thick of it. Players will be able to tag in a new pet in the middle of a fight, with the pet even running up to the enemy pet to attack!
There will be an estimated 100 Wild Pets scattered about Azeroth.
Battle Pets can all be named.
Battle Pets will be usable account-wide - across all characters.
Pets will require leveling, and will possess stats such as: health, attack, defense and movement speed.
Pets will have a talent system consisting of a maximum of six abilities, of which the pet can have three. These abilities may be re-talented, but only when not in battle. Pets unlock new abilities as they level.

So there ya go... the Pet Battle system is deep in development and seems to be shaping up pretty nicely, although I'm not entirely sure I like the idea of the system only tracking wins. I think for the pet battles to really catch on and become a popular WoW mini-game - there will need to be a slightly more competitive atmosphere to it.

I think a little less anonymity would be a welcome change, but I can see keeping player dialogue out of it. In my opinion, there's little at stake in this, so why not let players enjoy being a bit more casually competitive with it? As long as the trash-talking is kept out of it, why not let the top "pet battlers" attain some glory..?!

If you lose a bunch...who cares? However, if you end up being a top pet battle strategist, it'd be nice to make a name for yourself in certain circles. 😉

What do you think?

Guardian Cub Pet Now in the Blizzard Pet Store

November 1, 2011 By Garwulf 5 Comments

The highly anticipated and controversial Guardian Cub pet is now available in the Blizzard Pet Store. The reason that there's so much hoopla over this new pet is not just because it's an irresistible, cute and cuddly little companion to the Winged Guardian mount... no, no sirree... The thing that's so unique and exciting about this pet is the fact that it's tradable. The Guardian Cub is the first Bind on Equip WoW pet available through the Blizzard Pet Store.

What this means is that you can purchase these pets at the Blizzard Pet Store for a mere $10 each, then gift them to a friend in-game, trade them to another player for a different pet, etc., or... you can post them on the Auction House and sell them for in-game gold!

How Grand is Your WoW Pet Menagerie?

October 27, 2011 By Garwulf 2 Comments

Only 42 since February '06... I'm slackin'

I can tell you that as of today, I have 42 pets on my main. A fair amount, but not really all that many considering I've been playing WoW for over 5 1/2 years.

Once the account-wide pet change goes into action that number will bump up a few spots, but I still don't think I even have 50 unique pets across my entire account.

Time to get collecting!

Alright, so how many do you have?

Dream Teams

October 25, 2011 By Garwulf 1 Comment

I imagine the Pet battle System is going to have some sort of mechanic in place that will encourage players to create some team balance - much like we use now for PvP arena. In other words, we'll likely need pets that fill various roles in order to be competitive. At BlizzCon, Tom Chilton mentioned that we'd be doing things like... looking for Wild Pets with tanking stats, so I'm assuming our pet teams will be comprised of varying pet types and builds.

Tyrael That said... barring any need for team balance, and all probable conventional rules aside, what would your Pet Battle Dream Teams consist of?

If you could form a team using any 3 WoW pets, which pets would you use?
