WoWWiki Olympics is underway

The WoWlympics kick off with Clopper Wizbang asking players to search the site for five missing items, each located on a WoWwiki page, providing clues along the way. Each item or wiki page is worth one entry to the WoWlympics sweepstakes, with a bonus three entries for finding all five -- a total of eight entries eligible for the grand draw. You've got until the 25th of August to find all five rings -- and if you're stumped, you might just need the help of a lore nerd. If you're a sucker for scavenger hunts, eager to get into Beta, or want a mini-avenging angel, head on over to WoWwiki's WoWlympics page and get started!

That was actually a pretty easy hunt.

Awesome! Hopefully it is ridiculous and near impossible so I'll have a better shot at getting a prize.

@Art: Its actually really easy ;p

aww, I apologize adventchildren. I guess I have too much of a life to not give a damn about how I use certain internet phrases.
I guess I'll get off the internet now.

Only one giving me trouble was #2 as I was dead convinced it was something else and my browser was being stupid.

Yeah, I mean, the clue REALLY points to one article, and sorta points to another.
Also, gee thanks Zach, I had an intricate formula based on how many people visit WoWwiki a day and their average IQ, but NOOOOOOOO, you have to post it on WoWinsider. Seriously, you like, quintupled my chance of losing.

Its exactly like that person who posted a damn article on mote farming, completely killed it =/

I have only one thing to say, you aren't finding rings, you are finding equipment, lol.
"You've got until the 25th of August to find all five rings."

Yeah I made that mistake and was like "Well this is easy, I've already found quite a few RINGS. Then I read the contest information and realized my mistake."
The second clue sucks. I'm not a lore-nerd so I ended up just opening a TON of pages for about 20 minutes until I just by happenstance found the correct page. All the others I guessed on the first try.
Heres hoping for the pet, it'd be a nice addition to my collection.

Man I'm stuck on number two.
Chupathingy Aug 19th 2008 11:00PM
the last one is rather annoying -.-
Ed Aug 19th 2008 11:01PM
I'm completely floored by the last one as well. :S

It was easy lol. Look at the page where people ask questions about the contest. towards the end there is a pretty big hint. The event was fun and took me around 45 mintues to complete. Hopfully I get that SUPER sexy mini pet! =D Screw the beta key lol.
Ed Aug 20th 2008 6:44AM
Yay, finally got it! >.

The last one was REALLY annoying. As I was looking I actually dismissed the correct page thinking that, nah, it couldn't be it. Then, very annoyed, I decided I would look at two final pages before giving up for a while and the first of the two was it.
As a hint, I can assure you that you are overthinking it and the page in question is easier to stumble upon then you would think.
Gah! I can't believe that took me as long as it did!

Finally finished, though it was a great pain to do.
You should all give up now :P
Great idea for a competition though, sadly being a "lore nerd" would only give you an edge for #2.
Chupathingy Aug 19th 2008 11:09PM
ok the last one makes you duh face once you figure out what the question is actually asking -.-
Perrins Aug 19th 2008 11:09PM
last one sucks monkey balls
