Patch 4.2: New vanity items include balloons, Leyara's Locket

Also added in the new patch is Leyara's Locket, which will be a reward from the quest The Rest is History. Blizzard had made mention during the Firelands Ask the Devs chat that players would be able to see some of the history of Archdruid Fandral and his transformation into Majordomo Staghelm, and Leyara's Locket will be a part of that.
Using the locket "releases the memories contained within." Leyara is one of Staghelm's druids of the flame who is at the forefront of the assault of the Regrowth in Hyjal. Players run into Leyara many times during the Regrowth and Molten Front daily questing experiences. Hopefully, the memories that the locket releases will clue players in to more backstory involving Fandral and the druids of the flame.

Balloons for the 7th Anniversary, maybe?

Balloons?? Holy crap on a stick I want 'em so bad!!!
My bet is holiday decorations. Some sort of 4th of July Hooray For Our Faction thing, maybe?

Okay, the lion face on that Alliance balloon is ridiculously cute. It looks like it's smirking. I want. ^_^

Forget balloons, how about that appearance tab?

Yeah, I heard they're going to sell them in packs of two to blood elf women, to help them feel less jealous of draenei women.
*grin*duck*run like hell*

Blood elf females have decent sized boobs compared to their stick-thin figures. Of course they pale in comparison to Any of the alliance women.

I thought Blood Elf, Night Elf and Troll women were the only races that had breasts fitting for warriors, just the right size so they don't bounce around when you are swinging swords or jumping around dodging fire. According to my girlfriend, big breasts are completely incoherent if you want to fight, 'cause they are a total handicap and hindrance when it comes to moving and fighting, hence, games like Lineage II (with female elves all running around with D-cup breasts) are complete blasphemy and are made only for fandom, making them absolutely ridiculous in a fighting enviroment. So I'm glad Belves and Nelfs and Trolls have the right size, they've always struck me as the fiercest of the female warriors in-game.

"Leyara is one of Staghelm's druids of the flame who is at the forefront of the assault of the Regrowth in Hyjal. Players run into Leyara many times during the Regrowth and Molten Front daily questing experiences. "
Little bit more than that, Leyara was Valstann's (Fandral's son) wife. There is more connection there than "one of Staghelm's druids." Furthermore, this is why Malfurion is so taken back when she shows up at the portal in the quests.

Because I even knre that, I' sure that McCurley knew that. He just didn't want to see people moaning about OMGSPOILERS!

Psst... Hey Moosie - guess what I saw in the parkinglot at work yesterday: A MOOSE!
Twas awesome!
MusedMoose Jun 9th 2011 7:59PM
Awesome! I saw... a roadrunner. Not nearly as impressive.
Stupid little thing didn't even have the courtesy to stick out its tongue and say "meep-meep!" before running off.
Dreyja Jun 9th 2011 8:35PM
BLARGH - reply fail! That was for MusedMoose. X-3
Dreyja Jun 9th 2011 9:17PM
who... totally knows what I call him, evidently. ;-p
MusedMoose Jun 9th 2011 10:02PM
Moose are wise and mysterious creatures, with keen eyes. My eyes in particular are laser-powered and allow me to spot many things. ^_^

I do wonder, there's another Locket you can buy out in Azshara (for like 4k gold) that turns you into a Night Elf female related to some quests out there. The quests for her have to do with "playing" through her memories, so I wonder if it's something similar of just turning you into Leyara.

Just found that locket yesterday when I noticed a clothie tank heroics without dieing.
Then I noticed that the female night elf clothie tank was actually a dwarf on the tooltip and got suspicious.
The locket cost me 5000G but so far it has a 15 minute cooldown for a 30 minute buff. That means possible permanent ghostly female night elf look provided you do not die in the first 15 minutes after using the item.

Do either of you remember what this is called. I've never heard of such a thing and now I want. I must have every costume in game!
