Whichever region out there is hogging all of the rain, please send some towards Wisconsin. My lawn could really use the help. Thanks in advance!
Jack Spicer:
In the pure interest of unlocking all of Molten Front as fast as possible, is "Additional Armaments" the superior choice over "Filling the Moonwell" and "Calling the Ancients" because it unlocks 1 additional daily quest, or do those other ones also unlock additional dailies?
I'm going to cheat on this one and link to a blog post one of my good friends wrote about the Firelands daily quests. Totem Forest broke down the daily quest progression, and in terms of speed, the worst situation you can put yourself in is ending up one day behind as long as you do all available daily quests each day. Head over there to check out the math on it.
Thiron asked:
Mylune: Cute or too cute?
I'm one of those guys who doesn't really get cute most of the time. I'm a cold, heartless bastard who is totally unaffected by cutesy kitten pictures. But Mylune? Mylune is adorable. Only Mylune manages to melt the glacier that is my heart. She isn't too cute. She's just cute enough.
Thiron asked:
Why do images of Firelands bosses sometimes on that rock in the middle of Molten Front?
You accidentally a word, but I'm pretty sure I get your meaning. They appear on that rock because it's cool and gives players a glimpse of the Firelands bosses outside of the raid. Simple as that.
Gossamer asked:
Can I not do the Druid of the Talon quests after doing the Warden quests
Here's what happened. I hit my second 150 tokens on completing all of the dailies. I had chosen the Wardens first, so I went and asked the Druids to join. Next I went back to the Molten Front and looked around. No dailies.
The next day I noted there was a quest from Matoclaw and I just figured I'd missed it the day before. Sure enough, I found a new daily for the Druids in the Molten Front. I decided to leave it until last, so I could complete my dailies with something new. But after completing the Warden quests I was phased and couldn't do the Druid dailies. Am I doing something wrong, or is this what I am supposed to see happen?
The whole gating process is extremely confusing because of things like this. You can only do the Shadow Wardens or the Druids of the Talon each day, not both. I did precisely what you did when I unlocked my second faction and was just as confused, but you're safe. You were locked out of those quests because you already did their equivalent from the other group of druids. While Blizzard did make this clear in its Battle.net Molten Front preview, an in-game indication of this would have gone a long way to prevent confusion.

I'm sorry...just 837? Please don't make raiders carry your undergeared butt - get at least 914 before stepping in Frozen Molten Core or the new Gamon raid.

Have you not done the new Afterlife daylies?! Thrall makes you throw a tacks in Aggra's bed because of her thing with Garrosh.
It's a shame that horde doesn't get a chance to smack around Varian for Tiffen.

Does WoW Insider plan on posting a review of the new Christie Golden Warcraft book like they did with previous WoW novels?
I'm still on the fence whether I should purchase it.
Darthregis Jul 18th 2011 11:51AM
Golden writes excellent books. Get it. 'nuff said.

Good news! It's just been posted.
Proffesor Orc Jul 18th 2011 1:51PM
Awesome, good to see.....I guess we won't be seeing my comment in tomorrow's queue then :)
Hollow Leviathan Jul 18th 2011 2:16PM
They could still see it, since it's a quick and easy answer. Just take the presence or absence of your question answered as a barometer of the laziness of tomorrow's Queue writer!
MattKrotzer Jul 18th 2011 2:29PM
If I had to guess, if tomorrow's Queue writer is one of the former Blizz employees, this question will get answered again.
It's just kind of how these things work.

Q for the Q:
I've always wondered if BoE's always have a chance to drop or if there's only so many that can drop per raid lockout. For example, let's say my guild clears all the trash in Firelands w/o dropping any bosses and then resets the instance to do it all again. Will BoE's keep dropping or will only so many drop for the lockout and then no matter how much trash is killed no more will drop?
(cutaia) Jul 18th 2011 11:33AM
They'll keep having the potential to drop. There's no hard cap on how many BoEs you can farm. Your mileage, of course, may vary though. RNG is RNG and our perception of it will always find patterns that may not exist.

Everytime a mob spawns it gets new loot rolled for it, so there is always a chance

I guess you could say when ziebart looks at mylune, the ice stone...has melted.

You're welcome to as much of the Irish rain as you want! :-)
DeathPaladin Jul 18th 2011 11:50AM
A couple years ago I went on vacation to Northern Ireland. It rained almost the entire time I was there. Most people I talked to were sympathetic, and said how unlucky I was because the weather is usually beautiful.
Then I met an Anglican priest in Omagh who told me that it, in fact, rained there all the time and he had no idea what those other people were talking about.
There is no point to this story. I just thought his honesty was refreshing. Like the rain.
The Dewd Jul 18th 2011 11:59AM
I want to go back to Ireland sometime. :(
I spent two weeks there in the winter of '92/'93 and must have gotten extremely lucky. There was almost no rain or bad weather at all despite the impending deluge that Dec/Jan are supposed to be (according to the references I checked). I have to say the various merchants I had the opportunity to interact with were more than forgiving of my inability to count change in Punts and Pounds. A wonderful country full of wonderful people.

Could the Emerald Dream be considered the elemental plane of Life, if Life is recognized as the fifth element?
MattKrotzer Jul 18th 2011 11:31AM
I believe Leeloo was the Fifth Element.
DeathPaladin Jul 18th 2011 11:42AM
Actually, the fifth element is Boron.
