It’s been a good long run for the WoW TCG

August 24, 2013 By Garwulf Leave a Comment

…but it's time to turn out the lights.

Blizzard has announced that they are retiring the World of WarCraft Trading Card Game, no doubt in an effort to focus more exclusively on the next gen online version of the WoW TCG…“Hearthstone”.

While this may come as a blow to fans of the popular tabletop game, it will have little effect on World of WarCraft players who dabble in the WoW TCG strictly for the loot. All of the existing WoW TCG loot cards will still be redeemable, and it's no secret that Blizzard has been moving towards having future loot be acquired via their Battle.net online store. That's likely where you're going to find all of your new exclusive loot.

However, given the similarities between the WoW TCG and Hearthstone, I think it's safe to assume that there may be something in the works in terms of randomly inserted loot items acquired via Hearthstone. Hearthstone allows users to purchase packs with either in-game gold or a Battle.net account, meaning it's still possible that we may see a new digital version of WoW TCG loot, or…Hearthstone WoW loot as it were. There will likely be a lot of overlap in the player base, so it's likely that Blizzard will want to offer some additional incentive for Hearthstone players to want to purchase new packs.

I could definitely see this happening, and I'd be willing to bet the loot would come to the player in the form of a redeemable code that could either be redeemed or gifted. In fact, I hope they do end up doing this. I'm pretty sure I'll be playing Hearthstone, and if there's a chance I can grab some loot for my WoW characters, then I'd probably be more inclined to splurge a bit more on new packs. 🙂

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.

Rarity: 1/11 Booster Packs

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,

While I dislike making a post with little information, I did want to let everyone know that this has been forwarded to be looked into.

I really have no further information at this time, but we'll try to keep you updated.

If you have experienced this, you may wish to bookmark this post and check back periodically.

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.

To keep abreast of the situation, you can follow the official thread here.

WoW TCG Worldbreaker Release Date: December 14, 2010

November 9, 2010 By Garwulf Leave a Comment

Cryptozoic just announced today that the next expansion for the WoW TCG will be released on December 14, 2010 – one week after World of Warcraft: Cataclysm hits live servers.

The WoW TCG Worldbreaker Expansion Set features some exciting new loot, including the first ever non-consumable super common loot. Starting with the Worldbreaker expansion, Cryptozoic is happy to announce that all new super common loot from this point forward will be in the form of an unlimited use in-game pet!

Landro's Lil' XT

Landro's Lil' XT is the first upgraded super-common loot. The pet is basically the same as the Lil' XT pet from the Blizzard store, only with a new paint job. Landro's Lil' XT will be found in approximately one out of every 11 booster packs of Worldbreaker. It's doubtful that Landro's Lil' XT will be a bind on account pet, however. At 1 in 11 packs, I'm guessing it will be character-specific like the rest of the WoW TCG Loot, rather than BoA, as is the case with items purchased through the Blizzard store.

Even though the Landro's Lil' XT loot cards are going to be really common, they're still found in only 1 out of 11 packs. With booster boxes of Worldbreaker fetching around $60 each (before S&H), that puts an average price tag of nearly thirty bucks on this new pet.

Here are a few of them for sale on ebay right now:

Grim Campfire

The rare loot in Worldbreaker is the Grim Campfire. This item looks to be an alternative to the standard cooking fire, and will actually be usable for cooking food. No spirit buff though. 😉 Not much is known about the Grim Campfire other than it will probably be… spooky. This item is sure to be a hit with the role players. The Grim Campfire is going to be found in 1 out of 121 packs.

The Mottled Drake Flying Mount

[phpbay]mottled drake loot, 2, “150192”, “”[/phpbay]
Last but not least… the ultra-rare loot is going to be yet another flying mount. The Mottled Drake is going to be the tough pull from Worldbreaker; inserted at a rate of only 1 in 242 booster packs. No previews have been given of this new dragon mount, but it's probably going to have a similar model as that of the standard drake mounts, e.g., the Bronze Drake from heroic Culling of Stratholme. Based upon its title, the Mottled Drake will most likely be spotted.

Hobby stores are taking pre-orders currently, so if you're anxious to try your luck at getting some of the new Worldbreaker loot, then you may want to reserve a box today.

Featured Loot: Wooly White Rhino

November 3, 2010 By Garwulf Leave a Comment

The Wooly White Rhino is the latest mount loot available through the WoW TCG. It's an epic quality ground mount (of course…), requiring 150 riding skill to use.

This is a really cool mount. It's similar to the Big Battle Bear in that it's a no-bells-and-whistles, all business sort of mount. It's a freakin' rhino.. It doesn't need any armor or other superfluous fluff – – just a saddle, and it's go-time..!

Wooly White Rhino mount

[phpbay]wooly white rhino loot, 2, “150192”, “non not lot”[/phpbay]

An ideal ground mount for the big'uns

The Wooly White Rhino is a perfect fit for some of the larger classes in the game, e.g., Draenei, Tauren and Orcs, but any class will still look great riding it. It matches the skin used by the rhinos in the Storm Peaks, as well as that of Icehorn, the rare rhino found in Borean Tundra. This makes it a good choice for any hunters who wish to have a mount that matches their exotic rhino pet.

The Wooly White Rhino is easily one of the less commonly found WoW TCG mounts in-game, so if you're looking for something to make you the envy of your friends and fellow players, this may be just the ticket. Even better yet… the price on it has dropped considerably since the Icecrown expansion first shipped back in September. It's fairly easy to nab the Wooly White Rhino loot card for around $200 right now, if you're lucky. That's nearly half of what they were going for less than two months ago.

Here's a video of an Orc Death Knight with the Wooly White Rhino mount. There's some nice footage of him marching through Orgrimmar, as well as various parts of Northrend, including him leading a herd of rhinos through the Storm Peaks.

It gives a good example of the Wooly White Rhino's animations, plus it's in Hi-Def – – check it out…

This guy has quite the collection of loot by the way… If it's not enough that he rides to see Landro on his Spectral Tiger, at 1:18 he brings out his BlizzCon polar bear, followed by a Magic Rooster mount. Must be nice!

Being that boxes of Icecrown are going for about $60 a pop, containing 24 packs each; along with the fact that this mount's rarity is listed at 1/242 packs – – one could expect to drop about six hundred bucks trying their luck at pulling the Wooly White Rhino loot card from a pack.

$200 is really not such a bad deal. Here are a few that are available for sale right now…
