There's a quest that starts on Bloodmist Isle that's named "Kessel Run". :D I had to call my husband who'se already at work just to gush about it. Hehehe.

I know there's got to be similar things up in Silvermoon. What have you all run across so far?

[Skafloc]

To be honest, nothing that really jumped out at me as novel..

Same familiar formula: Go and kill some stuff, gather some specific droppings and hand them over for some moderate kudos. The obligatory "gathering" quest where you click on something with the gears icon, in this case some missing books and an orb. Then the lvl 5 mini boss fight, which in other starting areas are all in caves. Here its on a suspended, towering structure with many platforms and ramps. Quite cool! Of course there was a kiosk line of folk waiting to kill said boss.. We pretty much all grouped to ensure as many cleared through that part as possible to keep the line moving!

One thing though is most of the quests are mana related.. thats fresh.. and completely in line with the race.

The big star is the zone itself! Its awe inspiring! The detail and the colors are amazing! Its like one huge fantasy amusement park!

[Lelenia]

...fuck, *I* want one, and I can't even use it!

Did it drop off Wonderboy?

[Daedraug]

I'm not sure. A guildmate posted it when they saw a pally with one.

[Lelenia]

Blast it, now it's stuck in my head!

"The power to kill a yak...from fifty yards....with MIND BULLETS! That's telekenesis Kyle!"

[Daedraug]

I almost forgot. There was also a pretty blatant shot at the phat lootz crowd by blizzard when "The Stoppable Force" lvl 61 grey 2h mace dropped.

Teehee.. *has a terrible case of the giggles now*

[Syreena]

There was one NPC whose speech made me laugh. I won't give away what was said though. When you get to the new big city (Shattrah?), especially if you're a rogue, go to the tavern (guards will tell you where it is), and talk to the Rogue Academy person inside. She'll let you know what she plans to do to improve rogues' skill. :wink:

There's a quest in Hellfire called "How to Serve Goblin..."

More new cooking recepies?

Woot!

[Yichimet]

Speaking of that belt...where can you buy gems now?

[Lelenia]

I know where *I* can buy some gems. Vendor right next to the master jewelcrafter.

[Abric]

Gems can be bought in the Inn in Thrallmar.

The Tenedious Defender drops in Hellfire Ramparts, from the ... shit. The demon.

*Devil horns*

[Tarlithion]

I got me one of them Tenacious Defenders. It has the power... to move you.

[Mohan]

God, I didn't even make that connection until just now reading this thread. I am ashamed. :oops:

[Tillna]

Wow....Nice refrence with the quest.

I still like how they have a crap ton of Murlocs in the BE starter area
