War Party Hitching Post Video Preview

May 17, 2011 By Garwulf Leave a Comment

The following is a short video I found on YouTube which demonstrates the on use effect of the War Party Hitching Post WoW loot card. Unfortunately, the player is not partied with anyone so you don't get to see how awesome this loot can be once you start forming a posse, but you can still get the idea. Were that player in a party or raid however, all of the partied players would be able to summon horses from the War Party Hitching Post.

Someone seriously needs to put together a capitol city raid with everyone mounted atop one of the horses summoned from this loot, then post the video on YouTube.

Anyway… here's a quick and simple preview of the War Party Hitching Post…

I like the hammer swinging animation before the War Party Hitching Post is built, i.e., summoned. That's definitely a nice touch.

The War Party Hitching Post loot card is available in booster packs from the latest expansion set for the WoW TCG — War of the Elements. It's a rare loot card – found in only 1 in 121 packs.

For additional info on this loot card, please see this page.

WoW TCG War of the Elements Loot Preview

April 20, 2011 By Garwulf 1 Comment

War of the Elements Release Date: April 26, 2011

Next week sees the release of the latest expansion set for the WoW TCG — War of the Elements.

As of now, booster box pre-orders are fetching around $70-$80 on ebay. Now that's a pretty average price to pay for an expansion set booster box, but as always… if you're into the cards mainly for the loot, then buying the loot cards outright is the smart move. For example, the Savage Raptor loot card is found in only about 1 in ten boxes, which could mean spending in excess of $700-$800 dollars. Yet, you could buy the loot outright for about two hundred bucks.

Regardless of whether you like to try and beat the odds by busting packs, or go for the sure thing and buy it now, here's a look at the exciting new WoW TCG loot that will be available next week…

Savage Raptor

The Savage Raptor is the latest mount loot available through the WoW TCG. It is a ground mount, requiring at least level 20 and Apprentice riding skill, in order to use. The Savage Raptor will scale to the player's highest trained level of ground mout riding skill.

The Savage Raptor's skin is modeled after King Mosh, the rare Devilsaur found in Un'Goro Crater. The Savage Raptor is, of course, a raptor, but the pattern and coloring of the skin is identical to that of King Mosh's.

Rarity: 1/242 Booster Packs

War Party Hitching Post

The War Party Hitching Post is an exciting new loot item which allows you to summon a hitching post which raid or party members can use to obtain a special horse mount. The mounts themselves aren't really all that unique, apart from them looking like they came straight from an old western movie. Once a player has acquired a mount, they last for up to three minutes or until the player dismounts. The cooldown on the War Party Hitching Post is 30 minutes.

This is a really unique item which is sure to be a hit for both battlegrounds and capitol city raids.

Rarity: 1/121 Booster Packs

Landro's Lichling

Landro's Lichling is a re-skinned version of the popular Lil' KT pet available through Blizzard's online store. Landro's Lichling possesses all of the same behaviors and emotes, including his amusing yet malicious tendency to randomly slay nearby critters using his ice block spell. Whenever he slays a critter or you kill an opposing player, Landro's Lichling lets ut a maniacal laugh, just the same as Lil' KT.

Landro's Lichling is a super-common loot card.

WoW TCG Worldbreaker Loot Feature

December 13, 2010 By Garwulf Leave a Comment

The highly anticipated Worldbreaker expansion will be available tomorrow, Tuesday, December 14th.

This latest expansion for the WoW TCG features 3 all-new loot cards, including an epic flying mount and the first non-consumable super-common loot card.

Heres' a quick rundown of the new loot cards included in the Worldbreaker expansion…

Mottled Drake

[phpbay]mottled drake loot, 3, “150192”, “non not”[/phpbay]
The piece de resistance in this latest expansion is the Mottled Drake loot card. The Mottled Drake loot card awards players with an epic quality, very fast flying mount. The Mottled Drake resembles other drake mounts in the game, but this newest loot mount sets itself apart from the rest with its unique coloring and patterned skin.

The Mottled Drake is a very rare card. It is found in approximately 1 out 242 booster packs of Worldbreaker.

Grim Campfire

[phpbay]grim campfire loot, 3, “150192”, “non not”[/phpbay]
The Grim Campfire is the rare loot card in the Worldbreaker expansion, and a very interesting loot to say the least. Similar to Icecrown's Portal Stone loot, the Grim Campfire is another much more visually impressive version of a common in-game spell or ability. In much the same way that the Portal Stone is a replacement or alternative to the Hearthstone; the Grim Campfire is a unique alternative to the Basic Campfire.

The Grim Campfire loot card awards players with the skill to create an eerie campfire – complete with a decorative ensemble of skulls and bones, set ablaze with a purple flame. It shares the same 5 minute cooldown as that of the Basic Campfire, and does essentially the same thing… it just looks much cooler. You can use the Grim Campfire to cook food, however, it won't increase anyone's spirit. If anything, it'll leave players a little uneasy. 😉

Grim Campfire is found in approximately 1 out of 121 booster packs of Worldbreaker.

Landro's Lil' XT

[phpbay]landros lil xt loot, 3, “150192”, “non not”[/phpbay]
Landro's Lil' XT is basically a goblin knockoff of the original Lil' XT pet. Landro's Lil' XT is identical to the gnomish-made Lil' XT, but with slightly different coloring.

The most notable thing about Landro's Lil' XT is that it's the first non-consumable super-common-loot offered through the WoW TCG. Prior to this newest pet loot, all super common loot cards were issued with charges. Once the charges were used up, so was the loot. Landro's Lil' XT, however, is an unlimited use pet. 🙂

Loot Codes Redeemable Again

November 30, 2010 By Garwulf 2 Comments

It seems that Blizzard has ironed out the problems that were preventing players from redeeming their loot codes. The 4.0.3a shattering patch temporarily shattered the WoW TCG loot code redemption process for several days, leaving many players unhappy. Well, this seems to be all sorted out now!

As noted in the official thread, it's possible some players may still experience issues when trying to redeem, but these problems seem to be scarce and isolated. If you do happen to experience any roadblocks in the redemption process, please be sure to submit an in-game ticket.

Swift Spectral Tiger vs Spectral Tiger

November 28, 2010 By Garwulf 5 Comments

Please visit the updated comparison guide on the Spectral Tiger page. The skins haven't changed, but some of this info is obsolete.

World of Warcraft patch 4.0.1 introduced the speed normalization of all mounts. This means that rare (level 75 Journeyman riding skill) and epic (level 150 Artisan riding skill) mounts now both travel at 100% increased speed.

Because of this, it's caused the rare versions of certain BoE WoW TCG Loot mounts to become just as valuable as their epic cousins. When buying loot cards such as the Spectral Tiger, players will now have the opportunity to either utilize both versions of the mount at 100% speed -or- sell one of them on the auction house for an ungodly sum of gold.

Spectral Tigers can fetch in upwards of 100K gold on most realms. 😯

So what's the difference between the two mounts, other than one being rare and one being epic? Well… not too much really.

Here's a side-by-side comparison of the Reins of the Swift Spectral Tiger (epic) and Reins of the Spectral Tiger (rare) mounts.

Reins of the Swift Spectral Tiger

Reins of the Spectral Tiger

As you can see, the only real discernable difference is the absence of leg armor on the rare version. So really, they're not much different.

With both mounts now traveling at the same 100% increased speed post 4.0.1, it comes down to whether or not you prefer your Spectral Tiger with or without leg armor.

WoW TCG Loot Code Redemption Problem

November 26, 2010 By Garwulf 5 Comments

In case you haven't heard about, or encountered the issue firsthand, there is currently a problem with redeeming WoW TCG Loot Codes in-game.

The Blizzard techs are currently looking into the problem, but the issue has yet to be resolved.

Here are the official blue posts concerning the matter:

Good morning folks,

Thank you very much for your patience.

Then just recently we received this update…

Not much of an update, but I did want everyone to know we've not forgotten about this,it's still under investigation by our techs.

WoW TCG Worldbreaker Loot Preview: Mottled Drake

November 20, 2010 By Garwulf Leave a Comment

With the new Worldbreaker expansion for the WoW TCG, comes an all new trio of exciting loot rewards. The premium loot to be found in packs of Wordbreaker is the Mottled Drake flying mount. The Mottled Drake loot card is found in only 1 out of 242 booster packs of Worldbreaker, making this a very rare card.

Here's a sneak preview of this all new dragon mount…

The mount is bind on equip, which means you can buy, sell or trade it in-game.

Dealers are pre-selling this loot card, along with the Grim Campfire and Landro's Lil XT loot items – also from the Worldbreaker expansion. The Mottled Drake loot card is fetching around $350-$400 now on ebay, which is pretty typical of most new mount loot. That may seem expensive, but it's roughly more than half of what it would cost t try and pull this card from a pack.

At an average of $70 apiece with S&H, one would have to spend around $700 on Worldbreaker booster packs before they pulled this card. I mean… you could get lucky and pull it from the first few packs, but then again… if you're unlucky… well, you get the point. $350 is not so bad for a sure thing. 😉
